There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
No modem is needed; I directly connected my fiber, and everything worked perfectly right out of the gate. The setup process was incredibly straightforward, thanks to the intuitive app, and it effectively eliminated all dead zones in my house. Now, my entire home enjoys fast, seamless Wi-Fi coverage.
The updates are easily managed through the app, and the extender's status is clearly indicated by a very simple yet effective color light system—no guessing required. Given its sleek design, ease of use, and excellent performance, I highly recommend the TP-Link AX3000 (Deco X55 Pro) to anyone looking to upgrade their Wi-Fi system!
It came with everything you need to set up the mesh and includes handsome transmitters, a booklet, phone-based controls, and remarkable reliability in the signal strength.
You can simply set one up with cat-5 cable and use it to transmit to the others to form a mesh. I does not require you to run cat-5 cable to each so you can have the others stand-alone wirelessly.
The set-up was only marred by the phone app telling me my phone wasn't connected to the network - but it was as I confirmed by going to my phone's settings page for wifi. So I ignored that mistaken message and proceeded and have not had any problems. It's been on a day now and the signal strength permits streaming of video to any device in the house - no choppiness or lag.
Definitely worth the price for better connection that is vastly improved over my router and wifi extender. I now removed the extender as it serves no real purpose. And no, the two systems did not interfere with each other. I kept the modem's router functioning and found no conflict with that either. I use Spectrum for my ISP and an Arris modem-router.
Installation was quick and easy - I simply turned off my cable modem, disconnected my previous router, installed one of the Deco X55's in its place (in my bedroom), and turned everything back on. After downloading the TP-Link Deco app I had an internet connection set up and good to go in less than 5 minutes! Once that was working, I added the other two Deco's into the mix - one in the living room and one in the family room - with all three forming an almost perfect triangle for whole-home coverage. In less than 15 minutes after opening the box, I had a fast, Wifi-6 mesh system in my home.
I had been using an older AC1900 router for almost 10 years now and back then it was just fine - but with more and more smart home devices being added to my home, it no longer was enough. I have a medium-sized amount of smart home devices (around 50 devices including hubs) and on occasion, I'd experience signal dropouts on some of the farther cameras, and other devices would sporadically go offline/online at random. With the X55 mesh installed, all of my issues disappeared! My smart cameras used to show a signal strength of between 80% (indoor cameras) down to around 55% (outdoor cameras). With the TP-Link Deco mesh in place, the signal strength changed to 100% indoor and 95% outdoor - a major improvement for sure. Pulling up live and recorded footage from the outdoor camera is so much quicker now. All of the other indoor smart devices I have all show 98-100% signal strength. Needless to say, this was a definite upgrade!
As for my rating, I give it a solid 4-stars. There are a few small details that keep me from giving it a full 5-stars: some missing features that I had with my old router. One of them is being able to bulk reserve IPs by entering them into the app beforehand; with the TP-Link Deco, the device has to be connected to the network FIRST (with whatever DHCP IP address the Deco gives it), then you have to go into the app to reserve it with a static IP. I would rather have the more common table where you just enter each Mac address, static IP, and device name and it's done. Another missing feature is being able to have at least 2 separate SSIDs (not including a guest SSID). With the Deco you can only have one main SSID and one isolated guest SSID.
Finally, to see some speed numbers I ran speed tests using both fast.com and speedtest.com, and the day before installing the mesh system I had an average internet speed of around ~260Mbps. The day after I installed the TP-Link mesh system my speeds went up to well over 490Mbps! Downloading is a lot faster, and streaming is super snappy as well.
So in the end, I am very happy with my purchase of the TP-Link Deco X55 Wifi6 mesh system. Aside from the small feature complaints above, everything is awesome! I no longer have devices going offline/online. My internet speed has almost doubled (my old router was the bottleneck!) and streaming seems quicker as well. If you are looking for a mesh system to upgrade your current home network to the current WiFi6 standards, I would say that this is definitely a good buy!
------------
EDIT 02.18.2024: TP-Link Improvements Are Awesome!
TP-Link has been steadily pushing out Deco firmware and app updates, and my -1 star complaint no longer exists thanks to two added features that completely address my complaints:
- CUSTOM IP RESERVATIONS
First, I don't have to play the game of connecting a new device, letting the Deco assign a DHCP address to it, then having to go back into the app to manually change the reserved IP. Now I can go straight into the Deco app and under the "Address Reservation" tab I can now select "Custom"; this brings me to a page where I can manually type in a MAC address AND the local IP address that I want to assign to it - without having to connect the device first.
- SEPARATE IoT NETWORK
My other complaint was that I only had the option to have two SSIDs - one main and one guest network. I wanted to be able to configure another SSID specifically so I could group all of my Smarthome devices, and after a couple of firmware updates later TP-Link not only gave me that option, but an even better one: they added a dedicated Iot (Internt of Things) network! Not only does this group my sparthome devices separate from my main network, but it also restricts communications between networks so that the IoT devices stay isolated. This is exactly the feature I wanted them to add during my initial review.
- VPN COMPATIBILITY
TP-Link has also added the option to use a VPN (server or client) directly through the router, as opposed to having to VPN each individual device manually. Furthermore, the VPN can be assigned to the network in two ways: either all devices (every device connected to the mesh will go through the VPN) or I can select specific MAC addresses that must pass through the VPN before reaching the Internet (tI chose option #2). With this I can make sure that certain devices that like to "call home" can only do so through the VPN, helping to protect my network and privacy.
All in all, TP-Link has done a great job at supporting these devices, and their ability to add additional features over time have made me feel confident to revise my initial review now give this system a worthy 5 stars!
I worked with tech support via email. They emailed me after the weekend and told me to upgrade to version 1.5.1 which fell under the Hardware version 1.0, this deco was HW version 1.6 - so I had to email again since the instructions said not to load firmware that is not under your HW revision or you could damage the router and void your warranty. I get an email the next day from tech support telling me that HW 1.0 and 1.6 are the same and it was okay (even though the firmware is listed separately for HW Rev 1.0 and 1.6). I performed the upload to 1.5.1 and it went well. I connected to my work VPN and the first speed test worked. I was on the guest network at 2.4G so I changed my connection the main network at 5G and tested again, and it did not pass traffic. I went back to 2.4G and it still wouldn't pass traffic. This is when I decided this was not going to work for me, so I put in a return today and will be buying a router that I know will work since it is what my co-worker uses. In the meantime, My old Asus is solid, though I have some low signal areas and it's not quite as fast. I'm really sorry this didn't work out - if I wasn't using VPN I would have never know there was an issue and I would have been very happy with this system.

Si bien es un producto nada barato, vale la pena, más aún si tu trabajo o tu día a día depende en mayor medida del internet. Si la velocidad, estabilidad y consistencia del internet no es tu prioridad, o bien el tamaño de tu casa no es muy grande, tal vez no lo necesites.
