TP-Link AX3000 Whole Home Wi-Fi 6 Mesh System (Deco X55 Pro) | Up to 2500 Sq.Ft. 𝟮×𝟮.𝟱𝗚 WAN/LAN Ports 𝗜𝗱𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝟭𝗚𝗶𝗴+ 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘁 2023 Release (1-Pack)

Good coverage. I got it at a good price . Two of these should cover my entire ( 2 bedroom- approx 900 sqft) house.

This Wi-Fi 6 ready mesh system is as easy as it gets to set up. Only thing I didn't like is that you must create an account with TP-Link to sign into the mobile Deco app, but once that is set, the setup is a breeze. It took me about 15 minutes to get up an running. If you are not entirely comfortable with computer/networking, it will take longer due to the terminology and features as you learn along the way, but the app helps cut down on time tremendously. It has dual 2.5G Ethernet ports, which is important if you are connecting other devices such as a NAS (think CCTV) and modem. It would be preferable to have additional ports, but in this small form factor and for most households, and you add a second (or more) Deco unit(s) wirelessly, 2 is plenty. The wireless is Wi-Fi 6 ready (not enabled by default) and dual band, 2.4G and 5G with the option to utilize a guest network and also an IoT network with separate SSID and password (2.4G only). My favorite feature is the Network Optimization feature that scans your network for Wi-Fi interference and changes the channel to the best available channel to avoid network interference. This is a big issue in densely populated environments such as apartments and large cities. There are subscription based services available such as web protection, intrusion prevention, and IoT protection, but I have opted not to use these services. After heavy usage and fiddling, I've concluded that this product is good for most households. There are some lagging in my wireless cameras, but most of my other devices (Roku, Amazon Fire TV, smartphones, tablets) have had consistent bandwidth. All in all, an easy to use product that isn't perfect but feature rich value minded alternative to the more expensive system like the Amazon eero 6e.

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 few access points you'll find on the market with 2.5gbe backhaul, especially at its price point. The wifi speeds are fast, but I wish the signal was a little stronger. You probably want one in each room if you want the fastest speeds possible. The minute you go to the next room or get 10-20ft away the speed goes down by 1/3 to 1/2. This is still fast for wifi. In my testing the speed was 1.3gbps within 10ft and 800mbps on the other side of the wall in the next room. 500mbps in that same room on the other end maybe 20ft away total with a wall. I think it's somewhat typical of wifi and the wifi 6 frequency, but I think it could be better. I think mesh wifi systems are designed to make you need a bunch. In a 2,000 - 3,000 sq.ft. home you'll probably need 3 if not more depending on walls and obstacles. IF you want top speeds. You'll be fine with probably just 2 if you're ok with speeds around 100mbps. You'll probably want this one if 2.5gbe backhaul is important to you. Otherwise it's average in my opinion. You could certainly do worse.

I'm not tech savvy and this was easy to install! Quick set up and working great so far. I can easily see who's using my network which is a nice feature.

Muy buen sistema mesh, me compré uno más para ampliar mi cobertura en la casa, TP-Link es muy premium.

Terrible speeds when it comes to wireless connection. I have 2.5 Gbps fiber internet here through Xmission. Speeds are solid when plugged in via ethernet (2,300 Mbps) and to be expected. But I am literally right next to the router and, when wireless, getting terrible speeds (100 Mbps - see photos). That's 23 times WORSE than what I pay for. Since this only has 2 Wan/lan dual ports which is lame, I will likely have to return it since I need at least two ethernet ports or need to pay even more for a ethernet splitter since the wireless connection is next to nill.
