I bought these to replace my previous five BT Whole Home Mini mesh WiFi system disks. Virgin have recently upgraded our broadband to 1 GBS and I wanted a WiFi 6 system to make the best use of it. The TP Link Deco units are bigger than the BT Mini disks, cylinder shaped but no more obtrusive and easy to hide. They feel solid and well built, much more so than the BT disks. Installation of the main unit was easy and involved downloading the Deco App onto my Android phone, then following the instructions and plugging in the power and Ethernet cables. The satellite units were equally easy to connect using the Ap. One thing I learned from my BT disks is to initially install mesh satellites in the same room as the master and then move them to their final location - it avoids all sorts of problems. Having changed the SSID and password the system was fully working and picked up all the static WiFi devices in the house. A speed test on the main unit produced a download speed of over 500Mbs to my Android phone and 50Mbs upload - blistering, and at least twice as fast as my previous system. The satellite units tested at 400Mbs down and 45Mbs up. I've gone down from five BT disks to three TP Link cylinders but the signal is far more powerful and covers the whole five bedroom house. The worst coverage area speed tests at 35Mbs down and 30Mbs up which compares well with the best performance I was getting from the BT Mini Disk system. Essentially, the WiFi signal is stable and reliable throughout the house despite using two fewer access points. Video conferencing is stable and playing videos from the internet produces a smooth replay experience. In my experience WiFi 6 on the Deco units produces a smooth no fuss service. The only downside is that the Deco units are not cheap, albeit much cheaper than some of the opposition. Also, I'm not a massive fan of the way the Ap is layed out. TP Link used to be a model of ease and clarity in its control software but finding stuff in the Deco ap is not as easy. It's all there, but not particularly obvious or easy to find. I had to use the (excellent) help system just to find the screen to change the SSID. You should not have to hunt round for important settings or need to press obscure icons. Having said that, the installation routine was easy and worked well and the quirky Ap does not detract from the excellent WiFi 6 performance.

This is a review for the Deco X60 3-pack. I do recommend this. Once it's up and running I get improved Wifi speeds, better coverage and the mesh handoff works well. But it was a bit fiddly to install. A few pointers to help: The biggest problem is that these aren't compatible with D-Link ethernet switches (ethernet multi-socket adapters). I use my X60s in Access point mode. The first two installs went smoothly, but the final one not only took out wifi on all 3 deco's, it also caused a network storm which killed my worked network too. Turns out the final Deco was plugged into a D-Link switch. Swapped that for another brand and everything returned to normal. To be fair, this issue is highlighted on the Deco website but that's not easy to see when your network has fallen over. The following aren't issues - just handy things to know: - You can't install your first Deco as an access point. You need to set it up as a router (just accept all the suggested settings) and then use "advanced options" to switch it to access point mode. You also can't set it up using an SSID which already exists nearby, but you can edit the SSID afterwards to match your old system - It forces you to use the same SSID for 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz bands, to allow for optimal band switching. That has worked fine on all my kit - even old smart plugs etc. But it does mean that some things (Amazon Fire stick etc) needed to be reconnected to the network using the new details. That included two inaccessible webcams, which I feared I'd need to run a cable to to alter their settings. But instead, you can set up a guest Network on the Deco using your old SSID, connect to you webcam (or whatever) and point it at the new SSID). Then switch off the guest network. As you can probably tell, I already had a system with a central router (BT Home Hub 2) and some dumb access points which were wired in. So I am using the X60's as access points and they do have ethernet backhaul. So I do get great speeds and none of the issues with wifi backhaul. For me, the advantages were - faster wifi connection (I get about 350MBs in an area that used to be 220MBs). And better handoff between access points as I walk around the house. For example, I play podcasts on my phone through my Sonos system, which would fail if my phone switched to a different access point, but now works well. Not a cheap solution but I expect to have them for some time and getting WiFi6 means they are future proof.

I pay for a 350mbps service from Virgin Media but only ever got appx 200-250mbps from my Hub 3. I also had a number of black spots in a fairly small 1930’s terraced house. I had tried power line extenders without much success and the new Virgin Media booster pods didn’t really help either. Like many - working from home has put an additional strain on my WiFi and I decided to bite the bullet and go for a mesh system. After some research I decided to go for the Deco X60 system.....and I couldn’t be happier. After a few teething problems I was able to have the hub and two client units installed (2 downstairs and one upstairs) in about an hour and then proceeded to link all of my devices to the new mesh network. The difference is astounding. I now have a strong WiFi signal all over the house and have yet to execute a test (including at the end of the back garden) which registered less than 370mbps. The only slight downside (which appears constant with all mesh systems) is that the units only have 2 x Ethernet posts (of which 1 on the hub unit is needed to link to your ISP modem). If (like me) you have a number of items that you need (or prefer) to hardwire to your system, you will need to add an Ethernet switcher unit. I had to do this - but again it all worked pretty seamlessly. I would say that I have some tech ability but am by no means an expert in any way and was surprised at how easy it all was to get up and running. If you have WiFi speed or coverage issues in your home then I would have no hesitation in recommending this solution. It is not cheap.....but it works.

So we have a 4 bed house that consists of a 2 story extension, and a man cave in the garden so there are some old school brick cavity walls to get through. Now previously we had TP wifi extenders on 2.4 & 5G. So original Virgin hub plus 2 extenders ment 5 possible networks to switch from, depending on device (wifi plugs only 2.4G) room and signal strength. So a real ball ache if you were moving from room to room, while on a video call it would drop out. So now you know the situation here comes the TP Deco x60..... Quick Google and the Virgin hub is now a router only (4 min). TP Deco App downloaded start setup of the Deco and the network 1st Deco (8 min), connect 3 devices (2 min) set up 2nd Deco (4 min) add 2 devices in kitchen (2 min) walk to the man cave add 2 devices and 2 plugs (5 min), go upstairs add 3rd Deco (3 min) add laptop, printer and 4 other devices (5 min). Wander round testing speeds via the Deco App (5 min).... Added 3 more devices (2 min) now I never had to change network, and signal is great throughout and there is plenty of bandwidth. Units were simple to set up and I'm no techno wizz and managed 3 Decos and 15+ devices in 45 min. The ultimate was when the when the Mrs came home and I added her phone in 30 seconds. None of us have had to swap networks it is seamless signal is great. My only moan would be 2 things... 1st I wish the app would help you find the best spots to put the next Deco. 2nd I wish that it was easier to identify the type of device so I can set up profiles for the kids. So in short easy to set up, single network, great signal strength and bandwidth, and the App is cool. Bought this on black Friday so got a great saving

We live in a long bungalow style house with an extension at one end of the house so the solid double skin wall blocks all but the strongest wifi signal. We've tried a number of solutions, the last being 3 separate wifi routers dotted around physically connected to cat 6 cables run through the crawl space under the house. Even then, we would still have wifi issues for some reason and also the way we had them configured the only way it would work was with them all in router mode so we had 3 separate wifi’s that you needed to connect to dependant on where you were I the house to get a solid signal. Don’t ask me why, but that was the only thing that would consistently work. I decided to pick up this mesh system and have never looked back, I only have 2 of the 3 units installed (plus the providers wifi router) and the signal in the house is perfect now with a constant 3-400mgb speed throughout. Looks good and super easy to install, setup and connect to existing network, so glad I decided to go with this system.

Good router and works well had it for a year and it still works fine. Bought as i wanted better wifi coverage in the house. So I wanted a mesh network setup, this did the job nicely. I have not used it in pure wifi connections to each node as I have cat 5 cables installed in a few places around the house so I use these to connect them all together. Speed is good and I have found I dont have to reboot the network as often as I did with all the other routers I have had as performance seems quite stable over time.

I bought these units to support the Wifi in my new home when i moved in. Firstly let me tell you that i have had Deco units before, and not had any issues. Since having these units i have been getting devices disconnecting in my network that are on the 2.4Ghz band. My main one is my Harmony hub. Constantly losing connection and not able to re-establish unless adding it back into the Harmony app as a new hub. I mad sure to use only 2.4Ghz band, and turned off beamforming, and QOS and all the other things that are mentioned on the forums. The real trouble started when i moved to my new house. I opted for Hyperoptic as my provider and from their kit i am seeing a full bandwidth when connected to their device via Ethernet. When i added in the Deco instead of the 890Mbps on both download and upload i got 299Mbps download and 891Mbps Upload. I isolated everything else in my network and realised this drop is happening in the Deco. Roll on my TP link support journey (started on 8th October 2023). After getting though the initial support team and on to the advanced support team (took about 3-4 days) I helped in diagnosing the issues with them. Being a telecoms engineer for a third of my life i know a few things about this stuff. They agreed that there was an issue with the unit and after quite a lot of diagnostics(7-8 days worth) suggested that a firmware update was necessary to support my setup (ONT to Deco directly as they are supposed to work) as the transfer on the WAN interface was getting jumbled up when hitting the Deco X60 and causing the reduction in bandwidth (a third of what it is supposed to be). So by now i have lost hours of work, countless arguments in the house with new devices disconnecting on a whim, and Netflix telling us it can't stream on the largest bandwidth we have ever had(due to the jumbling of packets on the WAN) So I went back to TP link support and they said they would replace the units for something with newer hardware. The offers they gave me were for lesser devices with older hardware and less nodes. I complained that they should be offering a newer device seen as i have only owned these devices for a few months. They then said they would offer a 2 pack of the Deco XE75 as a replacement. As you could imagine i bought a 3 pack as my house is over 3 floors with extra rooms so needed the third node to support this. TP-link then offered me an upgrade fee of £135 to go to the Deco XE75 3 pack. I suggested the fact that i have spent countless time diagnosing their faults with them and impacting my work and home life let alone the extra stress this added on with the move to a new home should be taken into account and better price should be offered(plus the fact if i got a 3 pack from Amazon it would only be £110 difference to the 2 pack) After countless pointless delayed email exchanges with support I gave up on the exchange and requested i get a refund as the consumer rights act tells me if an item is defective I can return it. TP Link support refused to refund the items as they are a factory and cannot refund items, even though they can take payments for upgrades!! So they have me stuck between a rock and hard place where the only thing i can do is upgrade to a newer device(with inflated value) and hope it doesn't have the same issue, or push my consumer rights with other authorities to get this looked into. The date is now 13/11/23 and still no resolution after over a month of dealing with TP link support. What you should take from this is TP-LINK CUSTOMER SUPPORT IS DISGUSTING AND COMPLETELY UNSUPPORTIVE TO PEOPLE WITH GENUINE ISSUES THAT CANT BE DEALT WITH BY DIRECT REPLACEMENT!

Product Review: TP-Link Deco X60 I recently purchased the TP-Link Deco X60, and I must say I am thoroughly impressed and satisfied with my investment. This product is definitely worth its cost. The setup process was incredibly easy, and it paired seamlessly with my Etisalat router. One of the standout features of the Deco X60 is its exceptional performance. In most rooms of my double-story villa, I experienced the same internet speed as if I were directly connected via an Ethernet line. Even in the areas with slightly weaker signals, I only encountered a 10-15% loss in speed, which is still more than sufficient for my needs. What sets the Deco X60 apart is its extensive coverage. It effortlessly blankets my entire villa, ensuring a strong and stable connection in every corner. Moreover, it reaches up to 20 meters outside of my house, allowing me to stay connected even in my outdoor spaces. In conclusion, I highly recommend the TP-Link Deco X60 to anyone with a double-story villa or a large home. Its easy setup, excellent performance, and extensive coverage make it a top-notch choice for improving your wireless network. With this product, you can enjoy seamless connectivity throughout your entire property, both indoors and outdoors.

Bonne portée du réseau sur 2 niveaux séparés par une dalle béton. Par contre prise anglaise fournie donc adaptateur à prévoir pour la France.

The Deco X60 was very easy to install and works very well. It was delivered on schedule as promised. Happy to deal with PCLIVE again

Funciona muy bien. Vivo en una casa muy grande con paredes de piedra y es la única solución que me ha funcionado para tener cobertura en todas las estancias. El traslado entre hospots ni se nota. La app es muy completa. Todo perfecto
