TP-Link Deco AXE5400 Tri-Band WiFi 6E Mesh System(Deco XE75 Pro) - 2.5G WAN/LAN Port, Covers up to 5500 Sq.Ft, Replaces WiFi Router and Extender, AI-Driven Mesh, New 6GHz Band, 2-Pack

I bought these to replace for my Asus ZenWifi XT8 mesh system, and I'm glad I did.This is a Wifi 6E system, as opposed to my old Wifi 6 Asus system. Most of my devices are Wifi 6, with a couple also supporting Wifi 6E. I use three of these for my house: two in the main house and one in the office in the back yard, all using wireless backhaul.I have a CenturyLink gigabit Internet connection at home, and I connect directly using PPPoe (not through their "modem"). I'm very impressed with the speeds I'm getting with the TP-Link XE200s. My old Asus ZenWifi XT8 system would give me about 300-450 Mbps, depending on device and location, but now I easily get 500-600+ Mbps for Wifi 6 and 800+ Mbps for my Wifi 6E devices.You set up and manage your TP-Link mesh network through the Deco iOS or Android mobile app, which is user-friendly and intuitive. There's also a web UI, but that just shows you the current configuration; you can't really change anything. That's fine with me, as the mobile app provides all I need.The TP-Link system is definitely not as configurable as Asus ZenWifi or Netgear Orbi, which offer highly granular customization settings in both the mobile app and web UI, but that doesn't really matter to me. The Deco mobile app offers all the main configuration options, including various connection types (including PPPoe), viewing and managing connected devices, block lists, network optimization, connection alerts, guest networks, etc.One thing to be aware of is that some enhanced security features (web protection, intrusion prevention, and IoT protection) and parental controls are behind annual subscriptions ($34.99 and $17.99, respectively). It would have been nice to not have to pay for that separately, but that's not a deal breaker for me.I had originally bought a TP-Link X95 system, but this X200 (only marginally more expensive) blows that out of the water, with much better performance and faster speeds.Overall, my network is much faster now, both wifi performance and copying to and from my NAS. This is a great mesh wifi system that's easy to set up, offers great speeds, and doesn't break the bank, particularly when on sale. Highly recommended.

I am extremely pleased with the 3 Pack XE75 Pro I purchased. Note that the XE75 (non-Pro) has qty 3 1.0 gigabit ethernet ports, whereas the XE75 Pro has qty 2 1.0 gigabit ethernet ports and qty 1 2.5 gigabit ethernet port. That's the only difference between them. So if you aren't purchasing a 1.0+ gigabit ethernet port, you might opt for the non-Pro model. In my case, there was a sale on Amazon and the Pro 3 pack was the same price as a non-Pro 3 pack.I was using a Netgear Orbi RBK53 unit with 3 satellites, and while the performance was OK, I wanted to future proof my home with a more powerful wifi 6E router. I have a 1,820 sqft 2 story home which was built in 1991 before moving to mesh wifi a single router was highly inept at reaching upstairs, where my speeds would drop off close to being completely unfunctional. While the house is not that big, my lot size with front and back yard included is 9,000+ sqft. For that reason, I didn't think of the 3 pack rated for 7,200 sqft in the marketing specs as overkill because I wanted wall-to-wall coverage from the far reaches of the front yard to the far reaches of the back yard. I got it and then some with this system.Setup was unbelievably straightforward. You download the Deco app (more on that in a minute) first. Then you unplug your existing router if you have one and replace it with any of the three units. The fact that it can be any of the three units was somewhat novel to me, because the Netgear Orbi approach is different in that Orbi specifically designated one device as the router (I had the RBR50 router) and the other devices as satellites (RBS50 satellites is what I had). With Deco XE75 or XE75 Pro, each of the devices is a super capable wifi 6E router in and of itself, each capable of covering 2,900 sqft of home space with up to 200 devices connected. These ports are auto-sensing, in that you can plug the LAN ethernet cable from your modem into any of the three ports and the devices will detect the connection and designate that device as the router. After the router is up, the app instructs you to simply plug in the other two routers and they will be detected and added as satellites, nodes, etc. (each manufacturer uses different language) and added to the network. It worked just as instructed, and I was up and running within 8-10 minutes.After setting up the devices, I simply unplugged the two satellites and moved each to the designated spot I had decided on in my home. Once the devices power back up in their new location they are immediately added back.I pay for a plan with Xfinity for up to 400 Mbps download and up to 100 Mbps upload. When I plug ethernet directly into the router I typically get 475-480 Mbps download and 12 Mbps upload (I don't know why they screw me on the upload speed when the web portal says I should get up to 100 Mbps upload, but that's neither here nor there). After playing with the satellite position a tad, I was able to get 475-485 on wifi over nearly every single square inch of my property, Even if I stand in the far corner of my yard behind a large tree I am still getting 380 Mbps.Lastly, I'll mention that the app is fantastic and highly capable for novice and more advance networking setup. You can name all the routers, name all client devices, set up push alerts when designated devices join and leave the network, set up a routine router reboot schedule, and so much more. And most of all to me what I like is that you can access all of these settings while away from the home. For some reason, with the Orbi app, Netgear required you to be home and on the home wifi to access these settings. This was my first TP-Link product purchase, and I am extremely impressed. Highly recommended.
