Hassel Free WiFi 6 Mesh

What is WiFi 6?

WiFi 6 is the next generation standard in WiFi technology. WiFi 6 also known as “AX WiFi" or "802.11ax WiFi” builds and improves on the current 802.11ac WiFi standard. WiFi 6 can provide faster speeds and handle more devices.

Does Deco X20 support Ethernet bachhaul? How many Ethernet ports does it have?

Yes, each Deco X20 unit has 2 Gigabit Etherent ports, you can connect them with Ethertnet cables to get better backhaul speeds. Each Deco X20 can work as a WiFi router, not like some Mesh that only provides 1 router and 2 extenders.

Will the Deco X20 work with my Internet Service Provider? (Cable and DSL?)

The Deco X20 works with all ISP’s by connecting to your owned or ISP-required cable or DSL modem. The Deco X20 itself is not a modem.

Is WiFi 6 compatible with my currenty WiFi devices?

WiFi 6 is backward compatible with previous generations of WiFi. You can connect your old WiFi devices to it. However, in order to take full advantage of WiFi 6, it requires clients to also support WiFi 6, like iPhone 11, Galaxy S10/Note 10.

    Tp-Link Deco X20
    5 Stars
    Tp-Link Deco X20
    This Tp-Link X20 mesh Wi-Fi device is a must-have if you suffer from dead spots or a lot of buffering Wi-Fi. It literally increased my signal strength and boosted up my mpbs almost threefold and that is no joke. The price here on Amazon is amazing and let's put it this way this device on the box claims it will do a 5-6 bedroom house and it definitely will. I only have a three-bedroom house and this device can definitely work for a house almost twice my size. I have included pictures The first one that shows an HDTV is from the TP link app running speed on average which is definitely good enough for streaming 4K movies and the other is from my cell so you make the call but you would definitely not be disappointed with this. Long story short, my Wi-Fi router was only reaching about 300 ft and I believe that these devices can reach anywhere from 900 to a thousand feet per node and each one of these can work in series so you can expand your Wi-Fi coverage even further. Example some systems can expand your coverage but have to be connected directly to the router either utilizing it ethernet cable or Wi-Fi connected so it can expand your coverage but not this device you use one of the nodes for the new Wi-Fi router and it doesn't matter which one you use, use the included ethernet cable unplug your modem plug in your ethernet cable to either port on the back of the TP-Link node and the other on the back of the LAN port from your modem and then plug your TP link node into the wall receptacle along with your modem/modum router combo and then power them both up at the same time. Once done you have to download the app and there is a QR code and a website that you go to for either iOS or Play store and the app has instructions to follow step by step and once you're up and running you're good to go with that one and your new node connected acts as your new Wi-Fi router with faster and better coverage. All the other existing nodes that you have all you have to do is put it in a location where your signal is weak hopefully somewhere between the Wi-Fi router and that dead zone so you still have a little bit of Wi-Fi and it will shock you because the new TP-Link node actually reaches out a lot further than your Wi-Fi router so depending on what Wi-Fi device you're connected and how close you are you may actually have Wi-Fi coverage covering the area that used to be dead. But hooking up another node would definitely expand it at least through your whole house literally. I can't say enough about these I had one time or a show I think buffered for about 2 seconds and that was it did not buffer again and I believe that was at the very beginning before the show loaded on my TV but most of the time it is really responsive and does not cut out or buffer and reaches so far that it is unreal. The speed that you get with this remember it's also limited onto how much speed you're actually paying for through your internet provider so keep that in mind. It shipped really quickly and I definitely got it on time and Amazon has literally saved me from having to spend hundreds of dollars on a new mesh Wi-Fi router to do my whole home with this new mesh Wi-Fi router combo it makes it so simple to hook up and honestly I have never hooked up a Wi-Fi router and set it up in my life. The internet provider when they installed it they hooked it up and set it up and I've never had to mess with it until now. Something to think about but definitely definitely I cannot say that enough this is worth a try as you would not be disappointed. And as for people who do gaming I don't but my stepson does and when he comes over and brings his PS5 there is no lag the picture is so crystal clear he was actually shocked that this works a lot better than my original Wi-Fi router so something to think about and he's a young adult.

    Style: WiFi 6 Mesh, 3-packVerified Purchase
    Our Installation: We subscribe to a 800 Mbps Comcast plan which actually tests at 900 Mbps. Our 1975 tinker toy construction (drywall/plywood) L-Shaped, single-story ranch 2300 sqft home has a crawl space under the footprint with an attached 3 car garage and backyard patio/swimming pool area.

    The 5800 sqft wi-fi coverage (overall average wi-fi data rates = 500 Mbps includes smartphones) is more than adequate for our needs (no gaming, 2 TVs (family room and garage) with 5 Alexa Plus/Echo Dots, roaming smartphones/GEN 6 laptop, desktop, multiple switches/plugs, Xfinity/Comcast owned Home Security router and irrigation controllers).

    We tested the Deco X-68 (2-pack) with dedicated 5GHz tri-band, finding the Home Security upgrade solicitations to be annoying vs the lifetime included Home Security bundled with the X-20 (very good). Since we have a crawl space, wiring backhaul CAT 7 cable (chosen if ISP plan ever exceeds 1 GIG) through a TP-Link unmanaged 5-Port switch made longer term usage/performance sense. Note: also connected TP-Link USB/Ethernet adapter to switch for HP Pavilion Desktop (ethernet adapter only 100 Mbps)...increased wi-fi data rate from 250 Mbps to wired 500 Mbps. Aside: The Mrs wasn't thrilled to call the local Fire Department because I was stuck trying to get out of the crawl space!

    900-600-300-(50%)

    900 = ISP subscription signal data rate directly from Arris SB8200 cable modem to desktop and laptop. ALERT: The cable modem has 2 1-Gigabit ports, but ONLY 1 is operational unless you upgrade your Comcast subscription plan (not knowing cost me a lot of time plus the Comcast technician during his visit didn't even comment on this condition..."we don't troubleshoot 3rd party equipment" Oh you don't? = I collected $250 in refunds FROM Comcast during this installation process) Suggestion: We put a book cover around cable modem on bookcase to hide it, but it's still accessible if we need to manually reboot (see photo).

    600 = Signal loss (300 Mbps) connecting cable modem to Main Deco and backhaul ethernet cable wiring 2 nodes/satellites. Both our desktop and Lenovo Gen 6 laptop speed test at 600 Mbps by each Deco X-20 location. Note: Gen 6 laptop "wi-fi data rate" is also 600 Mbps at each location which implies the Gen 6 new standards firmware is performing well. Also smartphone Pixel 3A XL wi-fi roaming throughout house speed tests at 500 Mbps.

    300 = Signal loss (300 Mbps) speed testing wi-fi on the Gen 6 laptop in remote areas: Garage & Patio areas performing at 300 Mbps

    50% Loss Non-Wired Backhaul = Using the Deco X-20 routers to transmit ISP signal through its 4 antenna/radios vs backhaul wiring, decreases signal by 50% at all locations...ie signal in Garage by Android TV drops from 300 Mbps to 150Mbps (basically triggered decision to run ethernet cables or reinvestigate tri-band solutions)

    Deco APP = Extremely well designed, absolute piece O cake to use. Provides me all I need to manage the entire network (connected devices/mac addresses/connected frequency rate (2.4 vs 5)/locations/wired not wired) by online/offline plus separate listing by locations) Easily reboot All Decos, optimize network, turn on/off Guest Network (works well with Alexa skill) to include 2.4GHz and/or 5GHz signals+++ = Just terrific!

    TP Link Support = 24/7 phone support with very caring and generally very competent technical troubleshooting. I made a very costly set-up error by testing QoS (Quality of Service) by entering 100 Mbps download (I recommended to TP-Link about adding WARNING for this input) because it basically puts a governor on your real available data rates. Xfinity and I got tired proving I was getting the subscription rate we are paying for!

    Bottom Line = For our installation and needs, we couldn't be more ecstatic with the upgraded High-Efficiency/High-Value mesh routers for $220. Note: Switch, USB/Ethernet adapter, CAT 7 cables = $75

    What triggered this entire project was our purchase of a Gen 6 enabled Lenovo laptop. Of note, BOTH your router and connected device need 802.11ax or Gen 6 chip sets to tap OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access)/RU (Resource Units) efficiency and WPA3 security (160 MHz channels (not supported in X-20) and MU-MIMO (Multi-user, Multiple Input, Multiple Output = currently vaporware) adds nothing to our WLAN performance needs). I believe, although cannot unequivocally test, the Gen 6 enhanced data rates are performing extremely well. All other legacy devices are solid with the new available signal strength and strong data rates near the 3 APs (Access Points). Our Orbit hose/timer up the back hill tucked under the redwood trees receives 75 Mbps!

    6E chip set devices will be rapidly appearing in the marketplace over the next few years. You need BOTH the router and device to include 6E chipsets to utilize the new 1200 MHz, 6Ghz "pristine spectrum". As we Long Term Evolve (LTE), our new Deco X-20 (3-pack) will easily last 3 years or longer as our devices are steadily upgraded to 6E.

    We highly recommend!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Deco X20 (3-pack) = High-Efficiency (HE), High-Value!
    Reviewed in the United States on October 26, 2021
    Our Installation: We subscribe to a 800 Mbps Comcast plan which actually tests at 900 Mbps. Our 1975 tinker toy construction (drywall/plywood) L-Shaped, single-story ranch 2300 sqft home has a crawl space under the footprint with an attached 3 car garage and backyard patio/swimming pool area.

    The 5800 sqft wi-fi coverage (overall average wi-fi data rates = 500 Mbps includes smartphones) is more than adequate for our needs (no gaming, 2 TVs (family room and garage) with 5 Alexa Plus/Echo Dots, roaming smartphones/GEN 6 laptop, desktop, multiple switches/plugs, Xfinity/Comcast owned Home Security router and irrigation controllers).

    We tested the Deco X-68 (2-pack) with dedicated 5GHz tri-band, finding the Home Security upgrade solicitations to be annoying vs the lifetime included Home Security bundled with the X-20 (very good). Since we have a crawl space, wiring backhaul CAT 7 cable (chosen if ISP plan ever exceeds 1 GIG) through a TP-Link unmanaged 5-Port switch made longer term usage/performance sense. Note: also connected TP-Link USB/Ethernet adapter to switch for HP Pavilion Desktop (ethernet adapter only 100 Mbps)...increased wi-fi data rate from 250 Mbps to wired 500 Mbps. Aside: The Mrs wasn't thrilled to call the local Fire Department because I was stuck trying to get out of the crawl space!

    900-600-300-(50%)

    900 = ISP subscription signal data rate directly from Arris SB8200 cable modem to desktop and laptop. ALERT: The cable modem has 2 1-Gigabit ports, but ONLY 1 is operational unless you upgrade your Comcast subscription plan (not knowing cost me a lot of time plus the Comcast technician during his visit didn't even comment on this condition..."we don't troubleshoot 3rd party equipment" Oh you don't? = I collected $250 in refunds FROM Comcast during this installation process) Suggestion: We put a book cover around cable modem on bookcase to hide it, but it's still accessible if we need to manually reboot (see photo).

    600 = Signal loss (300 Mbps) connecting cable modem to Main Deco and backhaul ethernet cable wiring 2 nodes/satellites. Both our desktop and Lenovo Gen 6 laptop speed test at 600 Mbps by each Deco X-20 location. Note: Gen 6 laptop "wi-fi data rate" is also 600 Mbps at each location which implies the Gen 6 new standards firmware is performing well. Also smartphone Pixel 3A XL wi-fi roaming throughout house speed tests at 500 Mbps.

    Style: WiFi 6 Mesh, 3-packVerified Purchase
    I'm an IT geek / software developer for a living. I know all about how this stuff works and I wanted fast, but I didn't need crazy expensive for my home and some of these mesh systems are way overpriced IMHO. Reality is you can have all the latest crazy standards but once you get 20ft from the access point all bets are off and you'll never see the speeds you see quoted so you need to mix practical with price. There seem to be sooo many mesh system options these days, that I was overwhelmed, but after some consideration I thought I would just go for this one which seemed reasonably priced, but still offered most of the latest standards (and thus speed limits) and also had free returns!

    In this case this config with 2 slave units was great for my ~4500 sq ft house, my previous single access point left some dead spots (like my Ring outside the house) just outside the range. But with this setup I can blanket the house and get pretty good speeds (>100-200Mb throughput) just about everywhere, and faster (400+ when you are reasonably close / line of sight to the access point)

    It's important to remember when thinking about laying these out in your house what and where you need the speed. If you need speed inside your house (say you are always streaming movies from a pc to another device) or if you need speed from a device to the internet. The slave access points can only provide as much throughput back to the main access point (which is probably directly plugged into your router/internet) as good as their own wireless connection is to EACH OTHER. eg: if you put the slave access points 50ft away they might "only" be able to get like 20Mb back to the internet, as your devices is going from device -> slave access point ->* main access point (next to your router/internet) and the * connection is the weak link. What was the killer feature for me on these is you can actually use ethernet as a backbone for the slave access points. My house is pre-wired with ethernet so I was able to put the slave access points pretty far but every slave is hardwired back to the main access point and thus has 100% of the throughput back to the internet so no matter which access point you connect to in the house each access point is as fast as the main one so the access point to access point speed drop is a non-issue if you can set it up like this. DO THIS IF AT ALL POSSIBLE! It's like having 3 "full speed" access points strategically dropped through your house. It wasn't obvious I could do this from the (very basic) docs for setup that came with it, but a quick search through the online docs showed you could this and it's brain dead, just plug your home network into the port on the back. Extra bonus feature, you can use the 2nd port on the back as a local hardwired port so if you have a single PC or "device" (like an xbox or something) next to the access point you can still plug it in directly and get full hard-wired speed without needing to buy an extra switch in the middle. Note: If you don't use the 1st port for the backbone, then you get 2 ports for local devices that will get at least Access Point -> Access Point speeds without one more wifi hop needed.

    I was pretty impressed with the iPhone app that you use to manage the setup, gone are the days of a webbrowser hitting a super slow admin page, the app is snappy and you can tweak all kinds of stuff. (favorite feature: One of the access points ended up in a kids room and they complained about the LED at night, guess what, turns out there's a "night mode" where it turns off the LED's during a timewindow in the settings pages!)

    The "mesh" part works really good too, from the app you can see your device move from access point to access point and what devices are on which and stuff. Super handy for initial setup troubleshooting and geeking out over how it's all working.

    I will admit, I was a little nervous since TP-Link is sort of a more bargain brand in my head, but I've had it going for about 8 weeks now in my house and it's been basically flawless. I'm sold, I'd TOTALLY buy this again or recommend it to a friend (or anyone reading this)!

    Style: WiFi 6 Mesh, 3-packVerified Purchase
    Mejoró bastante mi conexión (Telmex), y también la latencia entre todos mis dispositivos, con o sin wifi 6
    pero más para los que tienen wifi 6
    los recomiendo mucho si buscas wifi 6 algo que económico y fácil de usar, pero si quieres cosas más avanzadas qué configurarle en tu router, estos wifi mesh no son para ti, lo manejas casi todo desde una aplicación, también la misma aplicación te avisa si alguien entró y si es conocida o no esa conexión
    hay una forma de configurarlo desde un navegador en PC pero está muy limitado, tiene más opciones la app aunque hay un par de opciones qué en la app no están pero no suficientemente avanzadas como para que valga la pena moverles

    así que si, si solo buscas algo fácil de usar, ya sea para ampliar tu red wifi con una malla o simplemente mejorar la conexión (con un solo deco) y con wifi 6, estos están perfectos

    Este producto tiene muy buena calidad, desde que se está abriendo la caja y la forma en que está empacado se sabe que es un producto de calidad.

    Las instrucciones que vienen en la caja en un principio y luego en la app para instalar los DECO son claras y sencillas de seguir.

    Una vez instalado, la velocidad del internet que se tiene contratada con el proveedor se replicó bien en todo el establecimiento y sin variaciones.

    Es un producto caro pero vale la pena.
