TP-Link Deco X50 AX3000 Whole Home Mesh Wi-Fi 6 System (2-pack)

Provides consistent high speed connection in very wide range and very aesthetic. Seamless switching of wifi connection when mobile device is taken from 1st to 2nd floor. The main mesh provides higher speed than the built-in 5G Wifi of PLDT Fibr router (which has very short range). The 2nd wifi mesh on 2nd floor has lower speed when it is simply connecting though the main deco via wifi, so I tried connecting the 2nd deco via LAN cable as well and get consistent high speed in 2nd floor as well. Money well spent on this device, we were able to maximize using our 400MBPS plan at home across all floors

Great product with great coverage

This system is so easy to set up, took all of 10 minutes from opening to functionality. After multiple complaints to our ISP about constant wifi drop outs, even after we paid for a booster upstairs for the gamer in the house, nothing was helping the constant drop outs even when sitting right next to the modem. We are a modern family with so many gadgets the issue ended up being the 50+ items trying to use and connect to the wifi all the time. Between phones, iPads, computers, laptops, smart tv’s, gaming systems, security systems, HomePods, vacuums, appliances etc we were told a standard modem would only provide “expected quality” for up to 20 items. With this systems we have had zero drop out - even when outside. Would highly recommend this to every growing family ... MoreThis system is so easy to set up, took all of 10 minutes from opening to functionality.

The price point is great compared to others and has saved my sanity from teens trying to game, stream and upload to social media

Lacking a key option that would really improve it.

I had order this to put in my shop. But it doesn’t work anywhere near as good as the XE75pro I had out there. It does work good enough. I think most of the problem is it has to connect wirelessly back to the main router instead of connecting it to another one that is closer.The heat and humidity as well as dirtier conditions were my concerns for leaving the XE75pro out there. As it is more of an outdoors environment. This fit that bill much better.I have tried to move it around the shop to see if it improves but about 10% of my rated internet speed of 500mbs is about the best it can do out there. I was close to 60% with the XE75pro. This is through a brick wall, a block wall, and both buildings have metal roofs, and are 100 feet apart. So it is a demanding need ... MoreI had order this to put in my shop. But it doesn’t work anywhere near as good as the XE75pro I had out there. It does work good enough.

So it is a demanding need for signal, but the XE75pro had no problems. I believe the higher frequency backhaul channel had helped here. As well as the ability to connect to a closer router instead of the main one. A software update could improve this, at least the connection preference option the XE has. But I would like to see an outdoor model with the extra frequency I believe it would help sending signal over larger properties as well.I worked at a 10 acre winery and brewery, we had a large outdoor courtyard/beer garden. We always had Wi-Fi issues with our hand held terminals. I believe this would be a good solution. But it would need the “Connection Preference” option that the XE75pro has.

My first Mesh network

I purchased this set to replace a crashed Asus AC3200, which had provided sterling service for several years. The setup for the three units could not have been easier and within minutes I had great WiFi signals on all 3 levels of my home.I also have several Geeni wifi outdoor plugs controlling various water features and lights around the garden. I previously had to bring the plugs indoors close to the router to get them to connect, with the TP Link system they connected immediately from outside the house. So far, this has proved to be an excellent product. It was on sale at Best Buy for $299.

Perfect

We had the Telstra Gen 3 WiFi 6 system with 2 boosters and we had dropouts and buffering at all hours of the day and night. The last straw was when I couldn't even watch 5 minutes of a movie without it buffering 4 times. The next day we purchased the TP Link AX3000 mesh sysytem and we haven't looked back. It was so simple to install - download the app, follow the steps and plug in and we were off and running. The only downside was having to reconnect ALL of our devices, lights, appliances etc. You don't realise just how many rely on your internet connection until you do something like this. The best thing is that I can now see all of our connected items through the app. I can't beleive that I wasted so much time on the phone and online to Telstra's technicians ... MoreWe had the Telstra Gen 3 WiFi 6 system with 2 boosters and we had dropouts and buffering at all hours of the day and night.

Review of TP-LINK Deco X50 Whole Home WiFi System - Triple Pack

Good Points: Really easy to setup & use. Good stable Wifi signal with reasonable speeds.Improvement Points: I'd say that coverage up to 6,500 ft2 with 3 units is not quite true. I live in a small 3 bed Victorian house about 2,000 ft2 and I'm not getting my full WiFi speeds on the 1st & 2nd floor. Probably have to get another unit to boost the speed. So that's now costing over £300.00 now. The coverage should be stated as average, not potential maximum.
