Time to UPGRADE? TP Link Deco X55 AX3000 Mesh WiFi 6 Router System

I have a Deco X60 connected as access point. It stopped working after a firmware update in December 2023.

Seems to me that the TP-Link mesh systems works fine as routers, but not as access points connected to another router. After the problems I’ve had, I feel quite reluctant to buy more TP-Link equipment.

I bought this to work with my Starlink. I was wondering if anyone has installed this with Starlink and what their experience was?

if you could help me clarify some things. Right now I have Virgin media in Ireland. It comes from outside into my house through a Coax cable into the WiFi router. But I want to get more coverage around the house. Do I just get this and connect it wirelessly to the original router and then just spread these around the house.?

Do all three deco's have to be wired? If so, how do you run all those wires?

How can I connect a Linksys AC1900 router to this? Having trouble getting my SONOS connected but I think if my router would connect that would solve the problem of a lot of my smart home devices being on the old network.

Do you need to have one wired through ethernet to your modem all the time?

Why did the newer X60 drop down to two ethernet ports per device? I just opened my x60, saw 2 ports, put back in box and am returning it tomorrow. Dealbreaker.

Do you need a modem? Or can you plug directly to the wall?

so does this work without a modem my internet just comes through the wall with an Ethernet which is in a router right now so would just putting it into one of these make that one the main?

I bought this mesh thinking it would be better than my Meshforce 7 but I could not connect the 3rd node at all. Tried reset 3x but to no avail. The wireless speed was no better than Meshforce 7. Disappointed as I love my TP Link routers.

i get 25mbps, i need a new company

6500 sq ft is a pretty good size house? really?

I see you removed the plastic around the top. That is my question. Is that put on just for boxing purposes?

My current TP Link Extender RE650, my iPhone 14 Pro Max does not detect the Extendend 5GHz frequency, only the 2.4GHz frequency. My Pixel 7 on the other hand can see both. I want to get a Deco system to extend my Starlink router which is WiFi 5 and not 6 but I'm afraid the cheaper Deco S4 will not show the 5GHz frequency on my iPhone 14 Pro Max. It shows up fine on iPhones X, XR and 11 Pro. Please can you confirm to me that the iPhone 13 or 14 Pro Max can detect the 5GHz of this newer X55 or the older one you showed in the video which is the S4. I will appreciate this.

Hi. I'm thinking of using a pair of these in one house and another one in my son's 1100 sq ft condo. He is currently using an AirPort Extreme in the condo. When used as a single router for older device supporting b/g/n/ac only, do you think one of these will perform as well? I understand the AirPort Extreme does not support Wi-Fi 6 (AX). Aside from Apple deices, most of our computers from work do not support Wi-Fi 6 yet. Hopefully that makes sense what my concern is. thanks!

can you plug one deco ethernet into a pc? would that boost the signal?

Hello Fishbee, I like your video about your X55, but when you started showing the diagram about hooking it to a modem, you clearly said you don't own a modem. So, how did you get the main unit to connect to the world wide web?

I have the X20 can I buy one of these to add a little extra extension?….having issues with the basement

Why does it say its only compatible with PCs?

Is the range and connectivity better than the old X60?

Thanks!

Does making the deco the main router on FiOS slow down the speed ? 200 up and down with Gigabit connection

This would be perfect if it was Tri-Band. Dang.

So my dad has starlink, says when he live streams anything there is a buffer. Would this help? Also i noticed it comes with 3. He has a cabin nearby the house, wants to know if he puts one of these in the cabin if it'd work. Thanks

Question: I have a netgear r6400 and my internet speeds are 800 mbps through Ethernet but on my 2.4 ghz network my speeds are around 50 mbps and on my 5ghz network the speeds are around 130 mbps. How do I get quicker Wi-Fi speeds? Do I need a better router? Please help!!

3000 megabit??? You mean 3 megabit or 3000 bit

will it increase 150mbps or just making it stronger to penetrate walls?

What differences are between these and deco x50?

Cool 👍👍👍
