The TP-Link X55 (AX3600) is a solid choice for our household. We live in a three floor townhouse with 90 degree angled staircases and is soundproofed with thicker walls. Getting a signal from one floor to the next without dead spots is tough. The X55 (3 unit) system replaced a Netgear 7000 which didn't cut it. I first purchased a TP-Link X20 mesh series, but it wasn't powerful enough to reach our home top to bottom. This one does. I highly recommend the TP-Link Deco series if you're looking for an easy, cost-effective, out of the box setup. I had it operating within 15 minutes of opening the box. It can, it seems, easily handle multiple tech items simultaneously; TV, smartphones, laser printers, tablets, whatever you care to throw at it.

Deco x90, the perfect WiFi router for big spaces

Not sure why the system thinks I have the AX6600, this review is for the X90.After trying a number of router and extender combinations I finally gave in to the lure of mesh networking. I wish I had done it sooner! Whilst I had researched this space over the last couple years, I was waiting for a kit like the deco to come along to fit a sweet spot of performance and price. The X90 does that for me. My link speed is rock is solid, the roaming hasn't let me down and I no longer have to manually fidget between networks to get the best signal in my apartment.The apartment is quite long with thick walls and heavy doors. The units are around 15m away from each other and paint the apartment in solidly wonderful wifi 6.

The units are around 15m away from each other and paint the apartment in solidly wonderful wifi 6. The dedicated backhaul gives me superior performance from the remote unit, with more bandwidth available than my measly 100Mb Internet connection offers.Whilst it's still early days, only a few weeks old, the link has been solid with no drop outs or performance issues even though I have dozens of devices connected simultaneously.The app that controls the units, whilst easy to use, is a little simple for my liking. I would like it to offer a bit more information and control than it currently does. But it does all the basics well. I'm not a fan of having to connect it with a cloud account but it's a negative I'm willing to look past for now.

Easy setup

Over the past few years I've tried various WIFI extenders to help provide full coverage in my home with very little success. In the end, I decided to start looking into mesh networks and the TP Link Deco X20 (3-pack) seemed to fit what I was looking for and at a good price.Package arrived on time with the actual packaging from the manufacturers actually very impressive. Setup was easy and not having to worry about which deco to make the main one connected to the router was a nice added bonus. Think I had the first one set up within about 5 mins and then the subsequent deco's within minutes of each other. App is intuitive and easily lets you name your deco's, monitor what is connected to them and update the firmware as required.Coverage is seamless with devices ... MoreOver the past few years I've tried various WIFI extenders to help provide full coverage in my home with very little success.

Each Deco also come with 2 ethernet ports enabling you to connect devices (I connected my TV) directly so as to not rely on WIFI.All in all, a great product which has finally provided me with excellent WIFI coverage over the entire house. If you a struggling to get complete coverage I would highly recommend you give these a try and if, for some reason 3 Deco's are not enough, adding more could not be any simpler.

Good, but with some limitations

Easy to setupResolved connectivity issuesNeeds to be in Access point mode for most setupsCan't have different SSIDs for 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz bandsWe have a very long house with the ISP's router at one end, which means that signal is weak mid way and non-existent at the farther end. The Deco system was easy to set up and the three units more than covered our house, resolving the main issue of connectivity far from the ISP's router. Speed is OK but varies around the house and is not as good as direct connection to ISPs router. Most importantly, unless you have made arrangements with your ISP to allow the Deco to act as a DNS server you must set it up in 'Access Point' mode or it will fight with the ISP's router causing all sorts of problems. This can be done easily ... MoreEasy to setupResolved connectivity issuesNeeds to be in Access point mode for most setupsCan't have different SSIDs for 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz bandsWe have a very long house with the ISP's router at one end, which means that signal is weak mid way and non-existent at the farther end.

Most importantly, unless you have made arrangements with your ISP to allow the Deco to act as a DNS server you must set it up in 'Access Point' mode or it will fight with the ISP's router causing all sorts of problems. This can be done easily during setup but the instructions do not make clear that 'Access Point' is needed in almost all cases. A significant limitation is that both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz WiFi bands MUST have the same name (SSID), other brands will allow different names for each band. Whilst this is unlikely to be an issue in most set ups, for us it stopped our SONOS system working. I have since discovered that although SONOS creates its own mesh network it also relies on WiFi to connect controllers and portable speakers (Roam, Move). If the SONOS mesh is connected to one Wifi band and your phone decides to connect to the other, you will not be able to control the SONOS system and the portable speakers will disappear from the controllers. For the Deco the only way to resolve this is to turn off one of the bands losing that facility and thus reducing the value of the Deco system.

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

Highly Recommended

Very easy to set up. I'm no expert when it comes to computer tech - just average - but I had no issues at all. We are a childcare centre & church based in 2 neighbouring houses, a total block size of nearly 1600 square meters, with one internet connection. Coverage was very patchy outdoors and in the second house. As soon as I installed our Tplink system we had strong reliable coverage over our whole area! Absolutely fantastic. Internet speeds are improved, We stream movies, and also live stream our sunday services, and have no issues at all. A great value solution for us. Highly recommended.

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.

Solved my poor WiFi coverage

The WiFi coverage in my home appeared to be gradually shrinkingMy provider was helpful (at a cost) so 2 new routers later and a visit from a tech it was determined I needed a WiFi boosterI am no IT expert. This booster was recommended by the tech and a few IT savvy friendsDownloaded the App followed the instructionsThere appeared to be a crucial omission in that I didn't find an instruction to switch off the WiFi on the providers Router this does seem obvious now but didn't while I was struggling to activate the 2 satellite unitsTaking into account the above I would recommend this WiFi booster is doing a grand job for meWiFi has extended from NO signal in my conservatory to a good signal in the summerhouse at the bottom of the garden 25 feet awayThe video ... MoreThe WiFi coverage in my home appeared to be gradually shrinkingMy provider was helpful (at a cost) so 2 new routers later and a visit from a tech it was determined I needed a WiFi boosterI am no IT expert.

This is an Excellent Product

Just installed in my house. As compared to the standard COX Panoramic WiFi, AT&T Arris, Linksys E4200, & Motorola NVG589 routers, this solution way outperforms anything I have ever had in my house.It even way outperforms my Linksys E6800 AC1750 Wireless Range Extender solution.All three mesh devices were configured as AP's Access Points, and hardwired ethernet to the primary AT&T U-verse Arris Router. I turned off all WiFi from the AT&T Arris Router and only used the 2.4G & 5G WiFi from the TP-Link Mesh Devices. I thought about using the DHCP routing functions from the TP-Link Mesh, but I needed a few more ethernet ports on them. I also have my AT&T Router connected to two 32-port switches which provide Hardwired Ethernet connections throughout my house. There ... MoreJust installed in my house.

I also have my AT&T Router connected to two 32-port switches which provide Hardwired Ethernet connections throughout my house. There are about 40 hardwired devices and 20 WiFi devices at this location. I try to keep most of devices hardwired due to better dependability and faster connection speed. Maybe there is a better way, but his is working very well for me now.No more WiFi no-connection and low speed issues throughout my house. From now on I will always recommend a Mesh solution. And this product is a very good solution.
