Deco XE75 Pro(3-pack) AXE5400 Tri-Band Mesh WiFi 6E System | 2.5Gbps Ports, AI-Roaming WiFi Router Extender Booster, IoT WiFi, HomeShield, VPN, Gaming & 4K, Easy Setup, Alexa&Google

Here's my setup: - Gaming PC with Sunshine game streaming - TP Link Deco XE75 Pro AXE5400 (the product I'm reviewing) - WiFi 6E device with Moonlight installed (in my case, the Steam Deck OLED) My home network is mostly 1 gigabit ethernet, but my gaming PC has a 2.5 gigabit ethernet socket, which I hooked up straight to the living room XE75 node. Installation was pretty straightforward. I bought a 3 pack of XE75s, which I replaced with my old Deco M4s. The replacement process was a little annoying; it kept saying it had failed to transfer my settings to a new main node, but then when I actually checked my network the new node had been registered correctly. So functionally it worked, but the user journey is pretty poor. I expect if you're buying this as a brand new mesh network you're going to have no issues, as the setup of the M4s I bought several years ago was perfect. After all the nodes were installed, I created a separate 6ghz WiFi network exclusively for game streaming devices (in this case, the Steam Deck OLED). As I mentioned above, the gaming PC's 2.5ghz ethernet was wired to the node's 2.5ghz ethernet socket so the PC had a direct connection to the WiFi node I'd be streaming from. I installed Sunshine streaming on my gaming PC (though I imagine Steam Link will also work fine - I just wanted more control over the bitrate), and Moonlight on my Steam Deck. On the Steam Deck, I can essentially max out the bitrate and get a perfect 800p stream from my gaming PC to the Deck. This is overkill, but possible. I put the Deck and my TV (that the PC is hooked up to) side by side and compared lag, and it was nonexistent. Maybe an extremely slight delay that may impact you if you're playing a lag sensitive game (like a fighting game), but for 99% of games out there you won't even notice it. In fact, you'd probably get more lag playing a game at 30fps natively on the Deck or a games console versus the full 90fps that my PC can stream to the Deck at. Image quality is like I'm playing the game natively. No compression artefacts to speak of. Crystal clear. All this while I've got my PC downloading in the background, since the game streaming connection doesn't saturate the bandwidth between my PC and the living room XE75 Deco like it did on my old setup. When I play in a different room with one of the other nodes, I'm limited by 1 gigabit ethernet backhaul, so I need to pause downloads on my PC, but the quality is otherwise just as good. If I improve my wired network switches around my home I can fix this issue, but that's not a fault with this product. As the 6ghz WiFi network is on a separate SSID to the 2.4ghz and 5ghz network, all the other network devices are separate from the streaming client so I don't share WiFi bandwidth with other devices like smartphones and laptops, which sometimes caused lag or bitrate issues on my old setup. The long and short is I can stream a PC game at full bitrate over WiFi 6E and get essentially native-looking and feeling results without any interference from other devices. If you've got a bit of a niche use-case like me, this product does exactly what I needed it to. And frankly, if it can do what I need, it can probably meet your needs to.

After 18 months of daily use, I can confidently say this has been one of the most reliable and worthwhile networking upgrades I’ve made. I bought the TP-Link Deco X50 (Outdoor/Indoor) specifically to solve a tricky problem: getting stable Wi-Fi to a gate intercom located roughly 20 metres from the house. Running cables wasn’t practical, and previous Wi-Fi solutions were inconsistent at best. This unit completely solved it. Installation was straightforward. I mounted the outdoor unit in a un-sheltered position and connected it via Ethernet to a TP-Link PoE switch, which made powering and networking it incredibly clean—just a single cable doing everything. The PoE setup has been rock solid with zero dropouts. Performance-wise, it’s been excellent. The signal strength at the gate is now consistently strong, and the intercom connects instantly every time. Video and audio streams are stable with no lag or buffering, which was a major issue before. Even in bad weather—heavy rain, frost, and summer heat—the unit hasn’t skipped a beat. What’s impressed me most is the long-term reliability. Over the full 18 months: * No random disconnects * No need for reboots * Firmware updates have been smooth and uneventful * Seamless integration with the rest of my Deco mesh network Build quality feels premium and properly designed for outdoor use. It still looks and performs like new despite being exposed to the elements. If you’re trying to extend Wi-Fi to an outbuilding, gate, or any awkward outdoor location, especially with PoE available, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this. It’s been a “fit and forget” solution for me. 5 stars without question.

Bought this to replace Google Wifi. In addition I bought a Deco XE75 (non-pro) along with this three pack. I'm on FTTP 900Mbps with Zen, all units are connected via Gigabit Ethernet. Get the full speed, and an amazing 5ms ping which my kids enjoy for gaming. Does everything I need - and I have around 130 connected devices. The App is good, but wish that there was a full web interface rather than fiddle about on a phone. It does have provision to use an existing VPN provider, and the OpenVPN protocol - in my testing so far, the speed of using the VPN appears to be a lot slower rather than using a VPN directly on a device. Would I buy again, yes. Works well with Google Chomecast Audio after making changes suggested by ChatGPT. Oh, it also does blend in quite well with plant pots!

Works well in a Victorian 3 bed semi (approx 110 sqm over 3 floors). I used this kit to replace the disappointing wifi signal from a fritzbox 7530AX, provided by an ISP. Like many UK households, the entry point for the cable is in the corner of the living room. The main unit is connected by to the router by a 10m cat 7 ethernet cable. The other two are positioned in the dining room (through a brick supporting wall) and in the basement. The deco system is in Access Point mode. The isp router handles lan connections, digital voice, and the incoming signal from the ont. Set-up is quite easy using the deco app. Signal strength is great throughout the house. My gaming PC in the basement is connected by cable to the deco unit in the basement and achieves full 500/500 speed. On wifi 6e the PC achieves slightly less and fluctuates more (naturally). I have about 40 devices connected, almost half of which are smart lights, alexa devices and a dishwasher. They all perform very well with no drop outs or random disconnections. I have set connection preferences for some devices so that they only connect to the deco unit in the same room. Front bedroom signal is medium, but still able to get 400/200 on an iPad 11. I have a TP-Link RE350 extender which covers to the bottom of the (100ft) garden and can achieve 100/100 on a good day from the end of the garden. The only issues I’ve had so far is that the power cables are way too short to be useful, but I bought cable extenders so I could place them higher. Sometimes some devices will connect or stay connected to a sub-optimal deco unit, but I think this is more an issue with the devices themselves. Overall these are easy to set up and work well.

Upgraded from TPLink Deco X20 (which were also brilliant) Setup was easy, although the app doesn't contain a 'flow' for upgrading from a previous Deco system, theres simple instructions on the website. Took about 10-15 mins to replace all 3. App is intuitive, and walks you through set up with no issues. Defaults to use 6ghz for Backhaul only, so you'll need to change this if you want 6E on your devices, and then it creates another network. Coverage is amazing, 4 bed house with solid walls, and have no issues at all, and even covers the garden. If you've got 2.5g wired ethernet, the multi gig port is a welcome addition, and for the price uplift Vs non-pro option, it's giving you a little future proofing . Download / upload speeds are brilliant, and latency is decent too. I use these in AP mode, so some of the features aren't available (but I don't need them anyway! ) Web interface is awful, really locked down, so any admin has to be done on the app, which is fine .... But means you are limited to using your phone / tablet. Mesh over 6ghz Backhaul is stable, and moving between APs is seemless. Moving between 6ghz and 5 isn't - but that's more to do with the device connected being 'sticky' 6e doesn't have the same coverage so I find my phone connects to 5ghz as I get home, and then doesn't want to switch over when I get through the door. There's the option for guest network, and an IoT network, but there's no VLANs so if that's what you need, maybe look at TP Link Omada which is the prosumer range. All in all, for the price, a great bit of kit, and zero issues!

NOTE:- I do NOT work for TP Link, and have NOT received any promotional incentives. This is my honest personal review from a tech savvy retired telecom engineer, who has a lot of TP Link kit because for me it strikes a sweet spot between price, capability and ease of use. I have gear from other providers in a house where we game, stream and have a high reliability on our braodband life.... Anyway on with the story. I had a 2 unit Deco M9 (Wifi 5) mesh for around 7 years with pretty good reliability - but it struggled reaching smart tech at the far end of my garden. Last year I upgraded my router to a TP Link BE9300 for the wifi7 and 2.5g wired connection (it was on a cheap special offer at a UK retailer who used to sell everything from a printed catalogue :-) - (Amazon normally price match) ..... It is solid kit and has run faultlessly for 6 months. As the M9's were 7 years old and (particularly in bad weather) my garden tech struggled I decided to take the plunge.. After deliberating about a wifi 7 mesh, decided they are too expensive (and my issue wasn't speed it was range /coverage), so the 3 unit XE75Pro hit the sweet spot. When it was on a new year special, and with myChristmas Amazon vouchers in hand, I dived in. Yes setup was via the Android phone app (isn't everything theses days ?). IT die hards will moan because they want to do everything in Windows and a big screen dashboard, but I have no issues with using my phone. It is handy to be in a cupboard with your phone torch on whilst placing the mesh units and checking on the app. I run dual networks (The one from my main router which is placed next to my incoming broadband line and ONT - Brsk 500mbps fibre). My existing Dec0 M9''s are in access point mode with a wired backhaul to the main router which does give more range and flexibility.... This allows for easy checks for connection issues (Is it the mesh or something else that is playing up scenario) ... yes more complex, but caters for my telecom engineer way of working. My worry was that removing the M9's and inserting these XE75 Pro units would be troublesome .... It wasn't. The Deco app worked a treat. The 3 XE75 Pros dropped in just fine. I shuffled round the main unit position on the app to the new 3 point setup. The M9's were removed and BOOM - a transformation in coverage and smoothness. A week in and not one dropout - even when we have heavy rain, wind and typical northern UK winter weather. I have no regrets whatsoever going for the XE75 Pros over eye wateringly expensive tri band wifi7. The wifi 6e on the XE75 is a full tri-band implementation (unlike the cheaper dual wifi7 kit)... and the XE75 Pro does have a 2.5gb wired connection for backhaul. Highly recommended

Replaced my BT router with these as I have fibre to the home, you take the smart hub 2 away and power off the little modem and connect one of your Deco units to it. Setup was surprisingly simple, set it to PPPoE and entered the default username and password ([email protected] and bt) and bosh it was connected. Hard wired two together via the 2.5gb ports to local switches one up and one downstairs and put one in the garage to cover the back garden and cameras that are at the edge of the property (4 bed house with detached garage). I had put the third one in other positions but the WiFi was so weak I had to experiment a bit. The garage one is connected via WiFi to the other hard wired ones. I kept my username and password the same and most of my devices connected straight away, though I had to forget and re learn on a number of devices to get the maximum speed of my connection. The app is very user friendly and works great, my connection (at time of writing) is strong throughout the house, my hard wired devices are running at 1gb (I have some TP link 2.5gb switches on order to replace my gigabit ones) and my internet connection is the same (FTTP). The WiFi in my sons room is around 400Mb which is perfectly adequate for any gaming or needs he will have. I only have one WiFi 6E compatible device my Amazon Fire Cube 4k (the new version) and this can see the 6GHz additional network (can't remember what speed it's running at). My 2nd old Fire Cube cannot see the 6GHz network, nor can our iphones 13 and 14. It seems that 6E isn't compatible with older WiFi 6 hardware, they cannot see it at all. I was expecting anything WiFi 6 to be able to use the higher speed band, but this doesn't seem to be the case. I have switched the 6GHz range to back haul and usable connection (there are only two options, one for back haul and one for combined). I have soooo many Philips hue lights inside and out and many BG smart sockets, the coverage for these looks good and the 2.4GHz WiFi that these use seems strong everywhere I go. This system is a bit pricey, but I feel that it is going to be great in the future as more and more devices support the newer band. I'm very glad that I chose the three piece kit as I wouldn't have got the coverage where I needed it with the two kit. If you want the coverage to extend to stuff outside your home deffo go for the three.

Lets start with the benefits. A dodle to set up, 10gbps, i like how you can chose what devices are on VPN and isolate dated iot devices. Port forwarding and most basic things are doable from the router itself using a mobile app. I like how i can also do a speed test directly from the router. Bad things You need to do EVERYTHING from your mobile, the web GUI is shockingly basic. Advanced features available on other routers isnt available, eg blocking new devices from joining the network. My main annoyance is you cant see the link speed that devices are connected at, particularly the mesh. Nor can you forceably select how you want it to work. Finally, it seems the wired mesh only works when connecting the Deco devices directly to oneanother, not via a switch which would be more efficient. So if you have more than 2 mesh devices, you need to use both ports to daisy chain from and to in order to get the 10gbps backbone of your network. This isnt a great router for people who know a little more about IT or want more granular control.

Great extender, essential to who has a multi-storey house, extends the signal very well.

Łączony przewodowo I bezprzewodowo. Daje radę!

Disappointed to see they deprecated WireGuard for VPN config, apprarently for all their products. OpenVPN is absolute trash unfortunately (the only one available). Their help centre articles still show all the guides on how to set it up… this was fairly recent from what I can tell. Ridiculous

Déçu! J'ai reçu mon colis ce jour et bingo, les prises secteurs sont en version américaine et pas possible à utiliser depuis la Belgique... Retour du colis chez Amazon et je l'ai commandé par un autre fournisseur.

Facile à configurer
