TP-Link Deco XE75 Pro AXE5400 Tri-Band WiFi 6E Mesh Router - 2.5G WAN/LAN Port, 2 x Gigabit LAN Ports, Covers up to 2900 Sq.Ft, Replaces WiFi Router and Extender, AI-Driven Mesh, 6GHz Band, 1-Pack

The TP-Link Deco XE75 Pro AXE5400 is an absolute game-changer for home WiFi. Setting it up was straightforward, and the app makes managing the network effortless. I immediately noticed a huge improvement in speed and coverage — it comfortably covers my entire home (can cover over 7,000 sq. ft.) with strong, consistent signals. The AI-driven mesh works seamlessly, automatically optimizing connections, and the addition of the 6GHz band really helps with high-bandwidth devices. The 2.5G WAN/LAN port is a fantastic bonus for anyone who wants ultra-fast wired connections. Replacing both my old router and extender with this system has simplified my network while delivering top-tier performance. If you’re looking for reliable, future-proof WiFi for a large home, this system is well worth it. Smooth streaming, fast downloads, and zero dead zones — highly recommended!

7/21/2025 initial thoughts. I bought the 3-pack but added one more unit for inside -- I'm sure 3 is plenty in most 2600 sf homes. But ours has a lot of angles & when the signal passes through too many walls, it degrades fast. I also bought another outdoor water-resistant unit for outside, so the signal to cameras is strong; we can also use Wi-Fi anywhere further away from the house. Even with all that, the Deco system is still less than cheapest Orbi system. Yes, it will cost you some money -- you can add more nodes later if you find really bad dead spots. The Deco units (Deco is TP-Link's brand name for this system) are easy to install too. I used Microsoft Co-Pilot to help me make decisions on where to install and the settings. Very helpful. The Deco phone app is best for setting up the nodes -- you can carry your phone with you while you do it. Make sure your phone is connected to the Wi-Fi. It is very straight forward and does most of the work. If will ask you to set up an online Deco account so that will carry all of your settings. First get one unit up and running so it will become your base. All the units are the same, so the phone app will guide you to set up the base. You are going to use this first Deco unit as the router home base. Then connect this base unit to the output port on your existing modem. Some modems have 2G ports -- use that one if not already taken, to connect the Deco to your modem. Gives you the fastest transfer rate between modem and router. FYI, an Xfinity acts both as modem and router. If you have any service (AT&T, Charter, etc) providing one device that does both modem and router duties, you'll need to do the following for a simple setup. You'll set this combo unit to "BRIDGE MODE". It will turn off Wi-Fi in the combo unit and reduces conflicts between devices. In my case, I use Xfinity. I think you can make this change through the Xfinity phone app. If not and you have some basic skills, login into the router interface directly (default IP is 10.0.0.1) and select BRIDGE mode. Now your gateway is only a modem, not a router. At this point, ANYTHING YOU PLUG IN will plug into the Deco router (unless you are a techie running more than one router). Now install and use the SpeedTest app on your phone to check for HIGHEST signal strength in the rest of your house. That's where you want to place other units, so they can talk to each other. A few feet in any direction can also make a big difference. I CANNOT STRESS ENOUGH TO USE SpeedTest (or other similar app) to find THE FASTEST other points in your house. Mapping this first saves a lot of headaches. TEST & TEST & TEST again. Test high points in the room (even near the ceiling) and test low! It's not even the same speed in the same space when you check high vs low. I think they recommend high spots BUT I did find a couple of chest level locations. The Deco app may have an automated speed testing feature for this, but I opted to use something I already knew. Also, make sure you have a power outlet near these placement points. I am really particular and like the cords hidden. Sometimes it's hard to get both a great signal and hiding the power plug. After placing the units and getting them online, I turned on "6G BACKHAUL" in the Deco units (that may not be the exact name) if it's not already turned on. The 6G frequency will be used almost exclusively for the Deco units to talk to each other -- leads to no interference from other devices. Most people do not have 6G or 7G devices yet. So you can TURN OFF the Wi-Fi SSID broadcast for 6G. Again, use ChatGPT, Copilot or whatever AI to help you find stuff in the Deco router. These changes are easily made in the Deco app once you find the right page. The app is better than the webpage, in my opinion. You can carry your phone around the house. Finally, do yourself a favor if you want ethernet (hard wired) connections at any of the nodes and have more than 2 wired devices to plug in at any node. Buy UNMANAGED network switches to plug into the ethernet ports on any of the Deco units -- all of the Deco units are the same. I have a switch in my office for the computer, printers, a few other devices that I wanted wired. Wired offers THE FASTEST speeds but really isn't necessary (I have 1200Mbps down / 40Mbps up -- YES, the up speed is low but that's all Xfinity home users get right now). Three ethernet ports on a Deco unit is not enough in some cases. Right now, I don't use the ethernet ports on any of the Deco satellites. Hope this helps. This Deco router is FAR SUPERIOR to the decade-old router it replaced. It costs a lot more than basic routers but was still cheaper than Orbi and is giving me full use of the speeds for which I'm paying. Good luck.

The Deco XE75 Pro has been excellent. Setup was quick, the app is straightforward, and the coverage is strong and consistent across the house. Devices stay connected without drops, and speeds are solid even in formerly weak spots. It handles multiple users and smart home devices without a problem. It also works better than the Deco WiFi 7 in my experience, delivering more reliable performance overall. The range stays strong even about 50 feet away from the Deco unit, though in my experience it barely covers my 2000 sq ft townhome. Overall, it works great and does exactly what it promises, but coverage may vary depending on layout.

A difficult review to write, so as not to be misinterpreted. The Deco is a GOOD mesh system. Not superb, not even great in some aspects and features, but good, even very good (with comments). For background, I've set up home mesh systems with LinkSys, NetGear (Orbi) and ASUS previously. My current mesh system for this review includes 6 Deco XE75 Pro units (router + 5 satellites - more on that later) in a 3-story, 7k-ish sq ft home (wood and brick), plus outside and garage coverage for robot mowers, lights and cameras, with approximately 100 connected devices, on and off, on a Gigabit network. So not a small or even average network. The Deco competes with the prior systems mentioned. It's not the fastest, or the easiest to set up, or the most stable. It doesn't have the best app, or the best form-factor for the individual units. It's not the most intuitive to use. It's not the best looking interface for the user. So why, you ask, 4 stars? It IS the least expensive, equivalent mesh set up by far. It IS one of the most configurable - for the average user. And it IS fast - not the fastest - that crown goes to the Orbi (although NetGear's is the least stable in my experience). And just marginally faster than the ASUS WiFi 6 system. But fast - and adequately fast, everywhere, with no dead spots and sufficient coverage. Leading to the other observation. The Deco system will not cover your home with just 3 units if you have a large (6-7k sq ft or more) or complex home, in spite of advertising claims. It will - but not with anywhere close to the maximum speeds of your router. It just won't. Three units will cover a 4-5,000 sq foot home well, depending. So if you want full speed in your garage, or yard, or an isolated basement in a larger multi-story home, plan on buying another unit - or two. A bargain, but short of what TP-Link claims. Two units will probably cover a one-story flat floor plan with standard construction of 2-3,000 sq ft or less very well. For a small apartment as well, with possibly even just a router. So no real negatives as far as coverage - you just need enough nodes, and they're easy enough to add if your far signal is weak, and less expensive than additions for other systems. One significant positive - and negative - is configurability of the system. The app permits a fair range of ability to tweak and adjust the network, close to some of the other systems (ASUS is better, Orbi is superior). It just does it through a non-intuitive, sometimes cumbersome, and complex interface that may confuse even experienced users. And feedback from the app is less than informative, and often alarming - the system will pop up randomly with "can't find Deco" when it's just updating firmware, or forget the system manager (you) until you reinstall yourself. All the nodes will disconnect for some seconds, or minutes (in the app), but to all appearances remain connected just according to the green external LED and actual connectivity. So stability can be - at least in my brief use - not confidence-inspiring, although to be fair I haven't experienced any lengthy disconnects. Yet. But the app, and consequently your ability to manage your network on the fly, is a significant weak spot in this system. Coupled with the fact that it has no web interface - it's the app or nothing, unlike any of the other systems. Three stars - or less - for the app. The good news is that it is more or less a "set-and-forget" system once you get past the setup chore, and if you don't constantly fiddle with your network it appears to be again fairly stable and can be left on its own. Speeds are more than adequate for a 1G system, with downloads (usually) 600 Mbps and over even at the far reaches of your network, far from the router (with enough nodes), and approaching or at the full1G at the source. Setup was particularly challenging, probably because of the "unfinished" feel of the software, and the fact it took the best part of the afternoon to get the software to even recognize that an ethernet cable was connected - I'd rate it at the bottom as far as the systems mentioned for the average user (by comparison I had all of the other systems set up, installed and running within an hour). I consequently don't recommend this mesh system for first-timers, or inexperienced installers - which is paradoxical because more experienced users might like a better management interface and more ability to fine-tune the network. TP-Link does have available chat support, but of course you need an Internet (or mobile) connection to use it. Setup is probably the other big negative for this system, but you need to get through that to actually use the network. Software updates may improve that, so guarded optimism. As far as the app, other than the flexibility to modify and customize the network, it's probably at the bottom of the pack as well as far as user interface and intuitive design, another reason for inexperienced users to have pause. I'd rate software for mesh systems with ASUS first, then NetGear, LinkSys, and Deco in the caboose. Again, updates can improve that. Overall, the Deco system is a fast, stable (so far), bargain-priced mesh system worth considering if you have some confidence in your ability to navigate a quirky setup, to reach out to support, don't fiddle with the app a lot and are prepared to expand if needed. And don't mind a less polished or dependable user interface. I can recommend it with the above comments and observations.

Funciona muy bien, lo compré para actualizar el sistema anterior de Google de 2018… este sistema tiene mejor cobertura de la casa y la velocidad mejoró bastante en zonas de la planta baja (el router está en planta alta). Aunque el sistema operativo es propietario, se pueden configurar bastantes cosas a través de la app. Actualmente es bastante conocido el tema de que algunas agencias del gobierno norteamericano, están investigando a TP-link por su origen Chino, por lo que podrian en el futuro prohibir que se sigan vendiendo estos productos lo que en teoría también limitaría las actualizaciones de software. No hay nada definido aún

The TP-Link Deco mesh system has easily become one of my favorite upgrades in my entire home. I’m genuinely blown away by how stable, fast, and reliable it is. After dealing with weak spots, slow speeds, and constant frustration from older Wi-Fi setups, the difference with the Deco system is night and day. Setup was unbelievably simple, and once everything connected, the whole mesh basically optimized itself. What really impressed me is how consistent the speeds are across all three floors of my home. The basement, main floor, and upstairs all get fast, smooth performance, and even high-demand devices like my Apple TV 4K, Xbox, and iPhones all run flawlessly. It feels like I finally have the network my home always needed. The design is clean and modern, the app is extremely user-friendly, and I love being able to see which device is connected to which node at any time. The system just feels intelligent. It automatically manages the wireless backhaul, balances the load, and keeps everything running without me having to babysit it. On top of that, the Deco units stay cool and quiet, and the entire mesh handles heavy use without any drops or slowdowns. I can stream, game, run smart-home devices, watch 4K content, and do everything at once with zero issues. Overall, the Deco mesh system has been one of the best purchases I’ve made. It completely transformed my home network experience. Fast speeds, seamless coverage, great design, and excellent reliability. I’m extremely happy with it and would absolutely recommend it to anyone who wants a rock-solid Wi-Fi setup.

El producto vale totalmente su precio, el mejor mesh del mercado y lo mejor es que es Wifi 6E y si tienes un dispositivo compatible con este protocolo puedes acceder a la banda de 6Ghz, es fácil de configurar y las opciones que tiene para administrar la red son muy buenas. Lo recomiendo 100%.

5stars Fastest wifi mesh in d market with dedicated wifi6e backhaul. Wifi 6E is beast. Its better than even expensive deco’s flagship models. Fetches and gives full modem speed at every corner of house. My modem gave 650mbps download speed and same speed now i can get at every corner of my house, there is no speed drop between any deco mesh. Connectivity is perfect. Only remember to buy a separate cat8 lan wire for connecting ur modem to main Deco, as the lan wire provided in their bundle is of cheap quality and can’t transfer above 200mbps. : Dr. Dharmesh

Deco is easy to setup and has been working great since we've had it. I also like that it gives me a weekly report on activity. It's easy to setup and use, and the app has a lot of great features. Previously our internet signal was not great living out in the country. We ended up switching to Starlink based on location and added the Deco as the main router and as the mesh system. It's been great with absolutely no issues so far. Our house is about 2,200 square feet, with the main router upstairs and my office in the basement. I also bought a 50' cat6e ethernet cable to run downstairs to one of the mesh nodes, giving me the same speeds as I would have with the main router. The other node that we have on the other side of our house we use wirelessly and it has also not been an issue having multiple devices setup to it. This is a great system if you're looking for just the nodes/satellite boosters, or for a package where one can act as the main router and the others can act as extenders. The size and look of them is also good and blends in well wherever it's put. Going with the third-party extenders like this has seriously boosted our internet speeds.
