TP-Link Deco XE75(3-pack) AXE5400 Tri-Band Whole Home Mesh WiFi 6E System

Bought these to replace a dated BTWholehome mesh network that was rather intermittent to say the least. We have used a multitude of similar and powerline solutions over the years with little success. This worked straight out of the box, uses recent technology and is faultless. No dead spots anywhere in the house and the WiFi signal is strong and steady everywhere. Works with almost any WiFi provider and glad we upgraded. The nodes have excellent build quality and the associated app is well coded and user friendly. We found that a four node setup was optimal for an awkward, average sized four bed property, but this three node set is likely adequate for almost anything simpler or smaller. By awkward I mean a router positioned in one ground floor corner of the property and a full strength WiFi signal required in the opposite first floor corner of the property with additional coverage required in the garden, garage and driveway. Packs of one, two and three nodes are available to optimise your setup and they all link seamlessly and appear as one homogenous single network.

Replaced an ageing Asus Wifi 5 mesh setup that was about 5 years old and hadnt been bad at all. I just noticed a few niggles, needed restarting on occasion and just generally felt an upgrade was due. Did a bit of research and usually I tend to run near the top end of tech but went closer to the middle range I feel with these and they have been faultless. Really easy to setup, great performance and also really good coverage in an old 16th century house. We use 3 to cover the main areas and I then went and purchased a couple of the smaller x10s to give some coverage in the Garden in summer. Not had any dropouts, no need to restart them, really good performance across the board. Ive had a fair few devices connected when friends and family round and never gave any issue. I like the guest network seperate from my office one that was easily setup, for said friends and family as well! The mobile app (Ive only used on iOS) is really well done, gives a good little map of how the meshes are connected which I liked to ensure the setup was working as I thought. I get notifications if other devices connect (thinking about it, I think this is only when Im out and about rather than at the home which is probably a good thing!). Updates have been smooth and pain free as well. Overall really pleased and would look to get other TP-Link products in future and have recommended to others!

Great mesh solution, works as expected and the connectivity is good - range is clearly much better than using the Wifi provided by your ISP. Wife didn't even mind the aesthetics - looks like a small speaker (or the big Amazon Echo Studio speaker, but white) or an air freshener. Easy to set up with the app, also easy to maintain and view connected devices, bandwidth etc.etc. on the app as well. It has Wi-Fi tri-band - so 2.4GHz, 5GHz and 6GHz - but unless you're sat on the device, 6hz is pointless - very very fast - but doesn't travel at all though anything. I don't think this is the products problem but a 6GHz one, but it should be mentioned. Also the 6GHz signal has it's own name "YOURWIFINAME_6Ghz" that you need to add to your devices if you want to use it. Mesh is seemless, you can't tell when you're going from one of the routers to the other. Yes, they're pricy - but so are all the competition so what can you do? I've had wifi extenders before - much cheaper and you can tell why, you have to have them on different WIFI names and your devices will stick to one or the other until it loses range, regardless of the quality of the connection, so I would avoid and stump up the cash for a mesh solution like this and never worry about it ever again.

I was suffering from blackspots in Wi-Fi coverage in my house, and wanted to improve the coverage of by EE/BT TV. I supply the TV via the internet rather than from an ariel. The setup of the system is very simple from the downloaded app, and it is very simple to create a mesh system that I can get throughout my house. I do not have any blackspots at all. I have 500Mb fibre broadband, and following the setup of these deco's, I get rock solid 450Mb Wi-Fi connections everywhere. The reason for marking the XE75 down to 4 stars, is that it cant handle the EE TV signal. There is no configuration to allow Multicast or configure IMPG Snooping. Both of which are required for EE/BT TV. As an FYI if you are interested, I ended up having to put them into AP mode and use the EE hub to provide the signal to the EE/BT TV box. Unfortuantely, this hub was what I wanted to remove from the system. In summary, I would recommend, but only if you have another way to stream EE TV

I very rarely write Amazon product reviews, but i felt like i had to for this system. I'm on Virgin Business Voom 800 package which gives me a max of 800mb download speed and 80mb upload speed. My WiFi speeds downstairs, near the router would give me roughly 300mb download speed and 50mb upload speed, however, when i was upstairs in my room, i was getting 68mb download speeds and 50mb upload speeds (see picture), upload was good but download speeds were way down... I recently purchased a Macbook M2 Max, which supports WiFi 6e, i made sure that i got a mesh system that had WiFi 6e capability... And the results are simply amazing, i connected to the 6e WiFi on my laptop, and you can now see from the photo, i'm getting 713mb download speeds and 77mb upload speeds, and this is in my room, on a WiFi connection! I haven't even tried using an ethernet yet. Put simply, some of the best money i have ever spent, i was a little sceptical purchasing these as they seemed like a cheaper option that supported WiFi 6e, but it did not disappoint. Set up was super simple too, connected all 3 of the nodes in 15 minutes. I'm a content creator so fast download and upload speeds are crucial, i'm now going to upgrade to Virgins Voom Gig 1 package as i'm so confident this mesh system will get the absolute max speeds out of the WiFi package i have. Couldn't recommend more, i've got super strong WiFi throughout any part of the house, all my smart devices (Alexa, ring doorbell etc) connected just fine too. If you're on Virgin, and you're fed up of calling them because your WiFi speeds are nowhere near where they should be, don't think twice, just buy this system!!!

TL;DR These were a huge disappointment - very slow performance as a mesh network! Why I bought these/background: I bought the new TP-Link Deco XE75 AXE5400 3-node system to replace 5x of the old/first Google wifi nodes We live in a 2 storey, 3 bedroom, Edwardian house with Brick internal walls and with the old Google system, I'd often see no more that 6-8MB/s when transferring files between my MacBook and a Raspberry Pi-based music server (which is connected to a wifi node using ethernet). I've read and watched loads of reviews about these and seen some truly blistering performance, even when using these in wireless backhaul mode (some people seeing close to gigabit performance). Unpacking and setup: Box, packaging etc all good, units themselves were smaller and lighter than I'd assumed and seemed well built. The mains adapters were bigger than I thought though (although they fit in a multi-socket extension strip with no issues Setup was simple enough, although you have to download the app and register an account. It was also easy to add the extra nodes (one in the kitchen at the back of the house, and one in an upstairs office room), and update firmware etc Initial impressions: The first issue was that I couldn't connect to the music server from my MacBook (it was fine from my Windows laptop though) - looks like there's a well documented DNS issue with these devices! The workaround was to add .local to the name of the device (ie. <devicename>.local:<port number> This was the first thing that grated as in 2022 I wasn't expecting to run into such things Performance: Incredibly slow - worse even than the old Google wifi kit I've been using for years I can't really say any more than that - I was often getting <1MB/s transferring music files onto the server! This is a consumer product and as such should "just work" - but even after trying various things, the performance was still worse than the kit I was hoping to replace Maybe it's because we have all brick walls and the reviewers all live in flimsy new-builds, I don't know, but I have no clue why my results were so poor, but there we go Will be sending this back ASAP...

I’m going to go into as much detail as possible about location and setup as not many reviews do and placement and environment is really important information when talking about WiFi meshes. I have 2 XE75 meshes. I live in a small bungalow modern building with concrete walls. The WiFi meshes are placed about 6 meters apart with 2 concrete wall between them. They are connected wirelessly to one another. I even get full WiFi speeds in my front and back garden. My entire property is around 52 square meters. I have anywhere from 14 to 16 divides connected at once. I game regularly and stream all my tv content. I pay for 500mbps of internet. Before these WiFi meshes. I would get a speed of around 200gb in the room furthest away from the router. With the WiFi meshes in place I get over 500mbps in every room. I have my PS5 connected via Ethernet to the AP hub in the living room (eg. They mesh that is connected via WiFi to the other mesh) and get a solid 500+ speeds. I haven’t used the 6E band yet as I don’t have any devices that have the capability. The app is simple but still offers features I really like. People familiar with WiFi Meshes will know that devices tend to “stick” meaning that certain devices will pick a mesh unit further away from them and refuse to switch. Despite the AI system it claims to have this still happens. However they have an option to force a device to use a particular mesh which is great. Luckily the devices that like to stick for me are my TV’s and smart home devices, so as they don’t move around the house like a phone or tablet would, forcing them on a mesh is fine and ideal. I’ve never had a problem with my more portable devices switching to the closest mesh. There is an option in the app to “schedule a reboot” and you can do this daily or weekly. Slightly concerned that you would have a feature to reboot a device so regularly. I took to Reddit to see if there was an answer. People speculated that it was probably a hardware issue where if left the meshes without a reboot the device could build up cache and slow down speeds, but nobody was sure. I turned it on to be on the safe side and set it for 3am every Sunday so that it didn’t affect me. I’ve kept an eye on it in terms of speed tests. The day before the reboot my speeds were fine and after the reboot all my devices were connected as normal so I’ve kept it in place. You also have an option to get notifications when a new device is added to the network which is a great security feature to make sure nobody else is using your WiFi. The only issue I can think of is one of my first generation google docks got disconnected and wouldn’t reconnect. The app saw the device as offline, and the dock just wouldn’t connect. Unplugging the device and plugging it back in fixed the issue. So far a great purchase and I’ve had them for 2 weeks. I’ll update my review if my speeds start to slow down

These replaced 5 year old deco x60 mesh which started to drop streaming on our Alexa. These have cured the problem and were very easy to set up through the deco app. We don’t have a very fast system but these new xe75 have allowed us to get the most out of network

Easy to set up and easy on the pocket. Wifi 6e is worth it ...

I bought a pair a year ago. It was a simple install with good connection and coverage. I bought another pair to extend coverage further and the new pair slipped into the network seamlessly with a stable connection. They could work better through wells though. But other than that, they’re perfect.

Easy to install and connect. I now have a better and more stable connection in all bedrooms.

Excellent coverage Very low latency Easy to install

worth it
