TP-LinkDeco XE70 Pro AXE4900 Tri-Band WiFi 6E Mesh WiFi System - 2.5G WAN/LAN Ports, 4.9 Gbps Wi-Fi 7,200 Sq. Ft Coverage, Connect up to 200 Devices, 6 GHz Band, 3-Pack

I purchased this system because the BGW320-500 modem/router that AT&T provides with their fiber internet didn't provide good enough Wi-Fi coverage, among other issues. I put the main unit near the AT&T router and spread the other two satellite units in the living room and the master bedroom. This meant the three TP-Link units were well distributed throughout my home. Immediately we went from spotty Wi-Fi performance to excellent coverage and speeds everywhere in my house, even the back bedrooms which before had hardly worked at all.The setup is very easy, with great instructions that guide you through the process. The speeds of downloading and uploading doubled right after installation. What is really great is the interface to the units which is easy to use, and was working fine right out of the box, but it provides access to many features that can be tweaked as you wish. The satellite mesh units can be connected via Wi-Fi or ethernet for better speeds. I have them connected via Wi-Fi and it works well. The streaming units (Roku and Apple TV) connected easily and we get great streaming performance to our 4k TVs. All the IoT devices (refrigerator, coffee maker, dishwasher, Apple Pod, Atmos speakers, etc) connect fine and operate flawlessly.It required some work to get the AT&T BGW320-500 into "passthrough mode", as AT&T does not provide the ability to have the unit operate in "bridge mode" which allows all Wi-Fi and other functions to be handled by a better unit like this TP-Link product. I had to do quite a bit of Googling and reading guides and forums where other users had worked out all the settings that need to be adjusted on the AT&T BGW320-500 to get it to work well with this unit (or any unit, for that matter). Luckily there is a robust user's forum on the TP-Link website where a collection of gearheads documented the procedure to get things working well. Once I got that all worked out, I got the full 1 gigabit speed I'm paying for and it operates flawlessly (even after a power outage, it all came back up working fine).My family (and others that have stayed with us over the holiday) have really enjoyed the much better Wi-Fi coverage and speeds this unit has afforded. I have my Synology NAS (running my Plex server) connected via ethernet to this unit, as is my MacBook Pro, because I get better speeds that way (as my 2018 MacBook Pro does not have Wi-Fi 6e capabilities). However, the Wi-Fi speeds to my newer PC laptop (and my wife's newer MacBook Pro) which does have Wi-Fi 6 matches the upload and download speeds of my hardwired ethernet connection to my MacBook Pro. So, if you're looking for better coverage or speeds, I can recommend this product wholeheartedly. It's definitely one of the best mesh router products out there, easy to set up and easy to use.

I had the non-Pro version of this and traded out of it to get the PRO version with the 2.5Gbe ports since I recently upgraded to 1GB+ internet at home. This works and works well, I easily get over 1GB throughput on my Mac Mini via the wireless connection using just the 5Ghz band.Pros are that it is dead simple to setup and use and works flawlessly out of the box. Cons are that it is NOT for tinkerers which I am one but I just wanted a simple device that did its job without getting in the way. You can't mess with the knobs and dials like some other wireless devices but what you do need is there typically.If you are considering this vs other devices here are the biggest reasons to get this:- mGig / 2.5Gbps ethernet ports - you'll need this to go beyond 1GB if your internet provider supports it. Most modern cable modems now have mGig ports that support 2.5Gbps speeds. You can, if you have the ability, tie these 2.5Gbps ports together to get a wired backhaul if it is necessary but it may not be. (see next point)- Tri-Band with 2.4Ghz/5Ghz AND 6Ghz channels. If you can, use the 6Ghz channel exclusively as your backhaul between the wireless devices especially if you only have two of them. This 6Ghz back channel will give you blazing fast speeds between the primary router device and the remote device. I'm not certain how well this works with more than two devices as you'll then be sharing the channel between three or more meshed units vs one but it'll still be more efficient than a dual band device.- ALL DEVICES THE SAME - I want to have all devices the same in case one goes bad or you need to swap them. There are other mesh devices out there but some have a ROUTER and then SATELLITE devices. This does NOT do this. Every device can stand alone as a router on its own or simply mesh itself together and be used for wireless only. It is a simple thing but you don't need to think about which is which nor worry should your ROUTER die and you have no internet connection.- Wired bridging between devices - Multiple ports allow you to plug in wired devices or another wired switch (which is what I do) and run several wired devices off one remote meshed connection that then backhauls via the bridge to the device active as the router. This works without even thinking about it. Plug it in and go.- It is FAST! - as I said - 1GB+ on Wifi 6e connection Mac mini - Nearly get that with my iPhone 15 Pro Max.At this point I've owned two different sets of these and the old non-Pro unit is at another family members home and working flawlessly. There are regular updates.TP-LINK as the brand could be the achilles heel. I'm aware of the talk about the Chinese brand and the lack of trust there along with some vulnerabilities with other products they make. You'll need to make your own decisions there.Final note - I have NO experience with their add-on products. How the premium services they sell work is unknown to me.

After months of frustration with Spectrum’s modem failing to handle the active service in my home, I kept running into the same issue: devices would randomly disconnect, the connection dropped frequently, and nothing seemed to work consistently. Multiple technicians came to investigate, but none could pinpoint the actual problem.That’s when — thanks to my trusted alliance with Pescuezo (my personal AI tech wizard 😄) — we took matters into our own hands. We researched the best value-for-money solution that matched my real needs and landed on the TP-Link Deco AXE4900 (Deco XE70 Pro).Let me tell you: it was a game-changer.I’ve been using this mesh system for over two weeks now, and the results have been outstanding:✔️ Incredible coverage – It reaches every corner of the house with a strong, stable signal.✔️ Rock-solid stability – No more dropped connections, even with multiple devices streaming and working simultaneously.✔️ Easy setup – The TP-Link app made installation quick and painless.✔️ Impressive speed – For the first time, I’m fully using the bandwidth I’m paying for.✔️ Sleek design – It blends in beautifully with my home decor.If I had to mention one minor drawback, I’d love an extra Ethernet port on each satellite unit — but that’s just nitpicking.In short, this mesh system fixed a long-standing issue that even ISP technicians couldn't resolve. If you're working from home or have a tech-heavy household, this is worth every dollar.
