TP-Link Deco AXE5400 Tri-Band WiFi 6E Mesh System(Deco XE75) - Covers up to 5500 Sq.Ft, Replaces WiFi Router and Extender, AI-Driven Mesh, New 6GHz Band, 2-Pack

Replaced an older ASUS mesh system that was a daily headache to deal with for a 4,500 sq ft house on 3 levels. Decided to give this TP-Link Tri-Band WiFi 7 BE10000 Whole Home Mesh System (Deco BE63) a go. Based on my constant problems with my ASUS mesh system, I was expecting this to be a pain from the start. I was dead wrong. This took about 30 minutes (if that) to set up and get going, start to finish, and it works flawlessly in this 3 level house. Whole house is covered, about 70 devices, and it hums right along with no issues. I'm very impressed (and relieved from not having to deal with that ASUS fiasco every day). I've only had this now for a couple of days, but everything is going well so far.PROS:1. Setup was simple and straightforward via the Deco app2. It worked perfectly out of the box - no hassles or hiccups3. Enough flexibility to set your router's address and the DHCP range - if you have a lot of static IP addresses this makes transitioning to the TPLink much easier4. Speed is great - I haven't benchmarked it, but it no one has noticed any lagging on any devices, multiple 4k TVs, etc.CONS:There are a couple of things -1. What idiot designed these power adapters? First, they're HUGE. The way it has to be plugged in it takes up 3 outlets on a power strip. There's no reason a power supply has to be that large. Second, the flimsy power cord is way, way too short. Someone really dropped the ball in design of the power supply and cord, particularly for a $450 router.2. The router has a USB port on it. (in fact each of the 3 units has the same 3 RJ45 and USB ports, but the USB for the main unit (the first one you set up and go through the installation) is the only one that you can hang an external drive off of and access it.)) I plugged an external hard drive into the USB port and was able to share it via the Deco app - the one catch is that you can't just create a share name, such as "backup". The router adds a "G" so that in order to use the share, it must be used as \\your.router.ip.address\G\backup ...not really a big deal, but I have many computers that run backups and I had to go reconfigure them to add the "G" to the network path.Other thoughts - You're forced to use the Deco app on a phone or tablet to manage the network. There is a webpage interface, but it's basic stuff only. That said, I'm pretty impressed with the Deco app itself - seems to have all of the needed features without a lot of stuff I don't really use or need that I had in the ASUS and have seen in other router setups.There is a basic level of security included for free, but TP-Link offers additional tiers of security. I ended up adding the Security+ ... but they also have a tier that includes advanced Parental Controls, VPN, Password Management, and several other things, for more money of course.So far so good on all of my IoT devices too.If you're looking for a router system with great coverage and speed that you don't have to muck around with daily, this appears to be a solid choice. I'll update this review if anything changes.

I typically don't write reviews but this time I feel I really want to write one for this product.My home is is not that big (~2000 sq ft) and in the past I have been using Google Nest router with a Nest point. The next router is located in the living room and the point is in the office. The connection in office is every weak and unstable. My internets speed is 400M download but I only get around 20M download in my office, and recently it even dropped to around 1M. I tired to reset and router and place the point at different locations but still no help. And the signal on my Ring doorbell and another Ring camera right outside of garage door were also very week. My Tesla on the drive way can barely detect the wifi signal.Finally I decided to try a different router. After reading so many reviews, I decided to go with Eero 6+ and I bought the package with two Eero 6+ units. Setup process was not smooth and it took me a couple of trials to get it up running and I can get over 100M download speed in my office. Much better than before so I was happy, until soon after I realized this product has ZERO parent control functions in the App unless you pay $99/year for the subscription???? this is totally absurd. I immediately returned the Eero 6+ and purchased this TP-link Deco AXE5400. The setup process was smooth and I could setup everything in less than 10 minutes. I placed the second Deco unit at the same location as the previous Nest Point. When I tested the internet speed, I was totally blown away!!! 400+M download speed everywhere in my home now!! I should have thrown away the Nest crap much earlier and switch to this product. Why should I have been suffering slow internet connections for such a long time when paying for 400M internet?This TP link Deco router is great, and App is easy to use.The only thing needs to improve is that it is hard to tell which device is which as the name shown in the App is not obvious. For example, we have three iPhones with different name in the family but all three are shown as "iPhone" so I need some extra work to figure out which devices are kids devices in order to setup parent control. But overall this is a great product for this price.
