TP-Link Deco X55 Pro AX3000 Whole Home Wi-Fi 6 Mesh System, 3-Pack

One of my 2 year old Mesh unit (1 of 3 and not from TP-Link) died and its no longer available to buy a new one. I chose this 3 pack from TP-Link after reading the comments and I had used TP-Link routers previously with no issues. Anyway, despite the set up procedure being a bit confusing, their support desk pointed me in the right direction to try different checks and I finally got the master Mesh router alive and kicking so my wife could watch TV and then the 2 satellite DECO units I just powered up and they self configured in a few minutes. Here's a few pointers I've learned -Mesh units gene

I’ve done light networking admin and troubleshooting at a previous job and have been around computers for most of my life. My dad had an Ethernet in the house in the 90’s. I built my first PC when I was 11. I’m 43 now. I’m not an expert, but I have more experience than probably most. This was really easy to setup. I downloaded the app and it walked me through setup. Only thing that caused me an issue was I was running a VPN on my phone which initially blocked access until I disabled the VPN. The setup was easy. I installed one node near the cable modem which is in the side attic of the room ov

Fairly easy to set up with the app, but you have to go through the whole setup as a regular router before you can switch it to an access point.I use it as an access point and it's fine. So I can't speak to any of the features the Deco app has or how this works as a router.It is limited though. You can't choose the wifi channels or channel width. It has a utility that scans and selects channels, but you can't choose. So if you're advanced users you might get frustrated. It does an ok job choosing but it's really not good that it doesn't let you configure it.It's definitely fast and one of the f

I have a 2G plan and was never able to get much more than 1G down and 100 mbps up from this system (and I connected the satellites with Cat6 ethernet cables. The coverage was great though.) I switched to the TP-Link Archer AXE95 router and set up two access points using TP-Link extenders that were OneMesh compatible, and I'm now consistently getting 1.6G down and 250K mbps up.Frankly, 1G was MORE than enough for my needs, but you know, I guess I got obsessed with the speed anyway........Lol.

So this is going to be a lengthy review and how to in one -- I purchased this because I have a 4000 sq ft house and my; ISP provided ,panoramic WIFI router was spotty at best and barely making it across the house. Once up and running the mesh system delivers a full 2.4/5G signal anywhere I needed it. However, the system itself is set up to be used with a cable or fiber modem. In most cases though, most people have an ISP provided all in one router and modem of some sort. So here is my experience with this system:------First off I have been in the networking/IT field for 20+ years. This system

Relatively easy to set up and works well. Increased coverage area in house significantly.

This one avoid at ALL COSTS ! I'm 73 , I have purchased houses, realestate.vehicle's in a fraction of the time I put into trying unsuccessfully connecting this ! Set #1 spent 9.5 HOURS with TP Link and my isp there are 3 identical units the isp said theupy were c defective ? As the old router works ,the cable works to my computer ? When any one or the 3 were connected solid red lights + no internet ? Tp link condemned the 3 had me return them . Said if I wanted them shipped quickly the would have to charge my card other wise it would take longer ? I paid 169 on Amazon? They charged my card 329

Let's just start by stating i had no idea that you can hardwire a mesh unit to a gaming pc in a different room. Had no idea what they were. I decided to try them since i had a gaming PC on the main floor (modem upstairs office) and my router with extenders wasn't cutting it. I used to get 50 download speeds on the gaming laptop on the main floor. I pay for a gig but only got 50.... yea I know ... GREAT speeds hahah NOT.I tried 3 mesh units until i got this one .. and This one is the real deal!#1 Eero first and it worked ok but it only game me speeds up to 250. Even the PC that is hardwired to
