TP-Link - Deco XE75

It works pretty well. I think bridge or pass through mode is a better way. But if you can't change the settings, then this way works

I've tried Orbi and Deco... Deco at least has more options but I had a lot of issues walking around the house and the switching between nodes taking a long time or unable to get a full Internet access once reconnected.

Skip extenders and go mesh Error, Deco or nest will cover all 3 floors reliable. Keep the motorola as modem turn off it's WiFi and let the mesh handle everything.

I suggest starting by wiring the XE75s together. This should dramatically improve the situation. If, after doing that, you still require an additional Deco, BE63 is a good choice. If you run the Deco mesh in Router mode, one port of the main Deco must be dedicated to the connection with Internet, the satellite Deco cannot be reachable via that port. If you have a separate ISP box acting as a router, you might consider running the mesh in Acces Point mode.

Lots of people hate mesh but it works perfectly for me. Have a TP-Link Deco AXE5400 tri-band mesh (an older Deco version) with wired backhaul. Speed and reliability have been excellent. Decent amount of control and visibility via the app, more through the web interface. Not as rich as Omada or Ubiquity but affordable and solid, for me.

I use deco with Ethernet backbone and it's great. Set it up years ago and never had a problem

I have tp link Delco each has ethernet back haul works great.

Deco's are a great product. Ideally you could ethernet backhaul your wifi somehow. I highly recommend trying to make that happen if you can.

this needs so many more upvotes! I have having a nightmare with my networked PC's, some plugged into the ISP router and some on the wifi. They weren't showing up under worked PC's in windows and once i switched the Deco's to AccessPt Mode... everything fixed. I can connect to either the Deco AP mesh, or directly to the ISP router and all pc's can now see each other! Finally a good explanation on the matter :)

Initially, I had an issue where DNS resolution was failing on only some web sites, so they were just not loading and if TM reset things on their end, it seemed to work for a day or two but problem returned. Long story, short... factory reset on their end Deco fixed the problem. I think the AI didn't like me changing to TM. No problems since.

\+1 for deco, I have 3 of them at home (one on each floor) and it works great!

I have my own tp link axe75 and TP-Link deco x20 connected to the my.t shit router. My brother uses the deco since we use the 3 units to extend the network to his house next to mine. I use my own axe75. On 100mbps my.t broadband.

Yeah before we got Bell we already had a Deco XE75 mesh system so we are continuing to use that for better WiFi coverage, setting up bridge mode was a pain but it's been painless operation since then.

Upgrade to Wifi 6E. It's quite the jump. Not just in speeds, but how the connections are handled. You want 2x2 MIMO at least on the router side for that many devices. The Deco line works well and is easy to set and forget. You can pay huge premium for Wifi7 and enjoy that, or just realize that 200-400mbps real world speed over wifi 6 or 500-750 on wifi6e will be just fine.

I've had great luck with TP-Link Deco systems

it works fine but note that i paid full price of my own router. you got a sweet deal. got the deco for 8k and axe75 for 10k. someone brought it from abroad for me.

From a cost/quality/ease of setup TP Link Deco's are definitely in the running. I have 3 in a 2600 sq/ft 1 floor house with no problems. Granted mine are all hardwired in AP mode but I imagine they would still work well in mesh.

if you want speed, you definitely need deco in each room. if you just want coverage, whatever I guess. get the one you can afford, just make sure that the deco your buying is gigabit capable, at least the main deco that is going to connect to your ISP provided CPE ONT, tapos you can go cheap with the satelite/slave devices to widen the coverage.

I had the same issue. To resolve is to connect to the same node your PS5 is connected to. I had to force the connection via the TP-Link Deco app to ensure the portal connected to the correct node. If you want to roam the whole house you will need to hardwire the nodes together with Ethernet.

I use a deco. I had disconnection problems when I was using the fast band and I saw someone recommended that Google home prioritize consistency over speed and that I should switch over to 2.4hz. I did that and my Google home has never had a disconnect since.

The main Deco must be wired to its source of Internet. I would return the Archer, indeed, and build a mesh only with deco units.

I have Deco system and, unlike others here, it's been a real nightmare for me. I have struggled with coverage (which is fine and resolvable), stability and comparability, and I find the management app not great. However - when it is working it's really good except with a few legacy pieces of kit. My advice to u is: use a single model of node which others are recommending, don't flood the property with too many but do plan things like: WiFi reach into garden or garage if appropriate. And if you can, get a spare node to allow for disaster. HTH

I have an e7 and another wifi7 AP that I don't care to remember its name, and I went back to using my old orbi mesh system. It was nothing but headaches with the ubiquity WiFi. If I were you I'd try a decent Deco mesh system. Ive set a few of those up at clients and they are very nice and super long range. If it don't work good you can always return it :)

Banyak yg komplain ini, mending tplink deco kl dari review2, akhirnya gw dirumah pake deco walaupun cuma sebiji (ga mesh jadinya) blm ada kendala. Sebelumnya pake tenda, banyakan errornya daripada ngganya. Saran buat op cari yg udah 5Ghz, karena channel di 2.4 banyak tabrakannya, apalagi di permukiman padat (komplek perumahan termasuk).

Right that makes sense. For non IoT devices like phones, laptops, etc, I know with mesh they advertise move freely around the house with seemless switching to best connection. With my eeros and tplink I have noticed this doesn't actually work when running from one side of the house to the other while on a Teams call. All that to say with a wired backhaul going back to a traditional one router with multiple WAP seems to be the right move. My only question is do devices switch to the best connection automatically. Maybe not seemless like mesh is advertised but will they at least switch if I go from side A to side B of my house?

Do you have any recommendations? I have tplink deco 6E with 4 nodes currently and it is constantly dropping internet for many of my smart devices. I have them all wired together. So if one router with aps is better what do you recommend?

I did. I have one house with 3 decos and spectrum and another house with 5 decos on optimum and no issues on either. I named both ssids on the decos the same so every device connects in both houses.

Originally it was P9s using powerline (ether over mains) but I scrapped that as the WiFi coverage was poor and the nodes were unstable. Now it's WiFi using X50s with a single P9 in the garage.

Posting this in case it helps someone else who arrives here from Google search: setting both the PSPortal and the PS5 to only use 5GHz band on a wifi mesh network seems to work well! I've been troubleshooting connection issues between my PS5 and PSPortal on my mesh wifi network (3x TPLink Deco XE75's) for a while. It worked well when in the same room as the PS5, but was quite bad in other rooms. Unfortunately I'm not able to hardwire my PS5 or connect it to the main WAP/node. My fiber comes in to a office/bedroom from the street, so my main node is nowhere near my TV/home theatre setup. I have two remote XE75s that both connect directly to the main node (also an XE75) via wireless. This has worked quite well for all of my devices (including streaming 4k media from my plex server to my plex client plugged into my TV) but the dang PSPortal just wouldn't work well. I tried forcing both devices to connect to the same node, hoping that would help, but it didn't. I tried enabling QoS, that didn't work either. Forcing both PS devices to only use 5GHz seems to have done the trick! The PSPortal is set to automatically connect to the closest WAP in range, the PS5 is set to only connect to the WAP closest to it, both are using 5GHz, this PS Portal is finally WORKING in every room of my house (so far). Today I set both the PSPortal and the PS5 to only use the 5GHz band, and moved most of my IOT/smarthome devices to only use my 2.4 GHz band. This seems to be the solution to my issues!

7,299 right now on Amazon for 3 unit TP link deco.

I have a higher end Deco unit that has 6ghz. I actually disabled it because my phone was constantly changing between the 6ghz and 5ghz band as I moved around the house. With Wi-Fi, stability is way more important than a little bit of extra speed. Enjoy your setup and don't worry about what other people say.

I went with the Eero 6E. 3 units cover my whole house and yard without issue (2700 ft2). I've got probably 50 smart home connections all running without issue. I did add one 2.4 ghz network extender to reach an outdoor generator that I was having issues with but probably didn't even need to do that (we later found out there was a faulty wifi module in the generator that was causing it to drop). To swap over my network I just ripped out the XE75 setup and set up the Eero with the exact same SSID name. Boom - every single thing in my house was up and running and I didn't have to reposition anything. It probably took me 10 minutes. I've been super happy with the switch. I'm not doing any crazy high performance network stuff, but I'm usually streaming 2 or 3 4K devices, running the whole Sonos system across the house, and working or gaming on 2 or 3 computers simultaneously with zero issues. Prior to my XE75 I had a Netgear Orbi setup (the original) and had more problems with that than I do with the Eero ... but nothing was as bad as the XE75. And the nice thing was I was unload the XE75 for 70% of what I paid via Facebook Marketplace.

TP Link Deco Mesh are great. Rarely stop working and can be monitored with the app. In the farthest corner of a new extension room, signal boosted significantly.
