Deco XE75 Pro 1 Year Later REVIEW 

Good review, the only thing I don't agree with is more than two nodes slows down your speed. I have four in my home and I'm paying for 900MB and the three wireless nodes are getting around 870MB.

Thanks for your review. It's really good to know that it offers a separate IoT SSID.

Also, your download is 500 Megabit, upload is 20 - you have these switched. These are restrictions set by your ISP and not related to the wifi.

YOur videos are getting so professional. Love the back drop. Curious, how long it took you to edit the video? Love the eyebrows

I think you meant megabit, not megabyte, but I just picked a pair of these up, and setup was anything but simple. Bug after bug plagued me in the app, from the parental controls not working at all, to them sparsely working, the app turning on the guest network when I only configured the 6GHz network (and 6 GHz network was not being broadcast at all), devices not showing up at all in the list after I remove them from a profile until I restart the app, rebooting into a red light multiple times, and if all of that wasn't bad enough, the nodes start to slow down near instantly and over time. I restart them, and get my full 400/10 speed, and within an hour it's down to 50/4, and overnight down to 10/1. I unplug directly from the main router and connect my computer directly to the modem, and get full speed, then plug that back into the router and connect my computer directly to a second port on the router, and the speed is still 10/1, with no other network traffic on that router at that point. Then a reboot fixes it. These are junk if you ask me.

great video man!

I like TP-Link, but it sucks that you have to pay a subscription to get basic parental controls like having different times for "No internet" on weekdays and weekends. I guess that I can keep my old router as "main" and use 2-3 XE75s as access points. Or buy another brand.

The goat does it once again

What about coverage? Does it improve coverage? Or depends of which devices I have? I have devices with older wi fi. Will coverage from.this mesh is going to be better? Or these devices must have wi fi 6 aswell?

Switching from orbi, do you regret that switch?

Thanks for this. Is there any reasons that connecting one of the Decos to a 2nd unmanaged gigabit switch wouldn’t work? (ISP->Deco1->switch1->switch2-Deco2). I’m troubleshooting and can’t get it to connect via Ethernet for wired backhaul. TIA.

I was holding my breath clicking on your video because I just bought this mesh network kit. I bought the 3 node kit so I'm hoping I can still get some decent speeds out of it. I'm glad you haven't had any issues with yours! I'm looking forward to getting mine this week. One thing I wanted to ask. You kept saying megabytes per second. I thought it was mega bits per second?

Good job Eli on this review. Asking a general question, (sorry for my poor knowledge), planning to have a mesh network at home (3 node kit), correct me if I am wrong, this is how it works, the Router will be connected to Internet service provider's Router (I am in UK, I got Virgin Media 5G hub), and after set up, 2 Satellites to be placed at somewhere where it needed the most?

can it be configured to act as a AP only (router shut off). can it be powered by poe and if yes poe++ poe+ or poe what is the MU-MIMO spec 4x4 or ??? Does is suppoert WPA3?

Just to be clear about Homeshield Pro, it will limit your network throughput to ~400Mbps because IPS/IDS requires a lot of processing overhead. I have a 1.2Gbps circuit so I had to go with my own solution (Opnsense on fast hardware).

Can I get three nodes and keep one on the next floor(first floor), one just above the ground floor?

I am using Tp link Deco M4 for the past 2 years. It suddenly stopped working. The main deco which is kept downstairs is working but the other 2 Decos on the top floor are not giving internet. The deco app shows no error. But the internet keeps on disconnecting every 5 to 10 seconds or it just stops. The wifi signal is there but no data on the top floor Decos. I have not changed the positions of the Decos. Have done nothing new. Why would this happen, what should i do ?

I have a question. i bought 2 pack for a deal but only need one node for now so i am using 1 node for now. i have noticed that my speeds are not consistent over wifi and the only way the speeds are kept as consistent as possible is that i put it on a daily reboot schedule. with that being said, when i am able to move into a bigger home where i will need 2 or more nodes, will the wifi speeds more consistent than opposed to 1 node?

Ii thought that it has AP mode to not replace your router

You did review this before "downloading" it to your site right??

Is one enough for 600sq foot condo? The issue is my router would be on one end of my unit. My ISP is Google Webpass

Once you have the mesh set up does that mean that all your devices need to connect to the mesh? For example, my back yard security camera uses a very weak WiFi signal - so should I connect it to the mesh or does all your devices automatically use the mesh?

how is the performance of this mesh? I've been using before the m5 and it was fine there are some days that the internet speed is getting slow or the nodes being disconnected even if we are having a video call for meetings it always dropping the signal.

What would you suggest for a 12,000 sq ft building? Keeping it mesh and on a budget.

yeah i just got the xe 75 and are dissapoined about the extra cost on security, all this was free on the asus router i had and it had a realy good setup both in parental controll and security.

is there a vpn feature available?

Download speed is used to upload stuff. Upload speed is to browse internet and watching youtube video 😂

Hi, I have got a router that I got from the provider and I want to use that to connect to the fibre. I will turn off the wifi on the provider router and use deco for the wifi. Do I have to do any specific settings on the deco? Thanks

I plan to hardwire all 3 to a switch. Anyone see an issue?

Great system, except it doesn't allow Pi-hole to share the same subnet, and to add insult to injury, you can't turn DHCP off, so you can't let Pi-hole handle the DHCP. My pack is going back as soon as I contact Amazon, shame really.
