TP-Link Deco XE75 Pro (AXE5400) Tri-Band WiFi 6E Whole-Home Mesh System - 2 Pack

I have been using the product for roughly 2 weeks now. As of now I have been impressed with price to performance.|
Below is Quick Setup/Pro/Con

Setup (Fibre)
Everything is done through the Deco App.
Plug any one of the device to the ONT box as either one of the devices can act as a router or a node/satellite.
The initial setup may not work until you reach the very end as sometime it may not automatically pick up the configurations required for the device to work.
Once you have done the initial setup (no internet), you will need to go to More -> Advanced -> IPTV/VLAN - > Enable this and set the ISP Profile to "New Zealand UFB"

Once you have done the initial setup (no internet), you will need to go to More -> Advanced -> IPTV/VLAN - > Enable this and set the ISP Profile to "New Zealand UFB"
Once done, you will have internet and you can now setup your WiFi etc.
Suggest to also do a firmware update. More -> System -> Update Deco

Pro
At the time of purchasing was good price to performance
Simple and quick to setup
Relatively small size
Guest Network/QoS and few more things
Speed has been consistent
Range is good.

Con
You cannot configure this devices through the usual web portal method if you prefer it that way. Everything is done through the App.
I could'nt download the Deco Firmware through the app which then you will need to go through to the web portal to do this. (only thing can do) (URL - https://www.tp-link.com/au/support/download/deco-xe75-pro/#Firmware)
Cannot seperate 2.4ghz/5ghz (Although there is a IoT network which you can do on latest firmware if this was a thing you needed to separate the network)
Some special features which are available on Asus routers are all locked behind subscriptions.

Overall, solid performance and experience so far and quite pleased with the purchase.

Very expensive, but has improved my wifi speed 10-fold and has also significantly extended the coverage. Good purchase. Very expensive, but has improved my wifi speed 10-fold and has also significantly extended the coverage. Good purchase.

I have used TPlink in the past but after 5 years of using Asus it failed to connect to Spark.
This device exceeded my expectation. It was very easy to setup and the app was very responsive.
It was also 200MBPS faster than my RT-AX7800 asus router I have used TPlink in the past but after 5 years of using Asus it failed to connect to Spark.

This is a fantastic mesh system. I got the more powerful model to connect the 2 routers through 2 walls over 8 metres. Little to no drop off in wifi strength. Highly recommend.

The support from PB was brilliant, the lad in the store had some good suggestions - We got a new WIFI 6 capable modem from spark, their smart modem 3, and so got a mesh system that could also do Wifi 6, so if we move up to hyperfibre, the new network is actually capable. This mesh wifi system is simple to set up with the app provided, was way less buggy and frustrating than the previous Orbi system. The memory of the horror setup and difficulty in getting the network stable last time caused me to avoid ORBI and in contrast this TP-Link Deco was up and running within a few minutes, upgraded its own firmware, and has been rock solid in...view more The support from PB was brilliant, the lad in the store had some good suggestions - We got a new WIFI 6 capable modem from spark, their smart modem 3, and so got a mesh system that could also do Wifi 6, so if we move up to hyperfibre, the new network is actually capable.

The TV used to lag with Netflix / online movie streaming, with the older modem and Orbi, the new system is glitch free, the iPad would disconnect itself from the Orbi and dropouts were weekly, that's now fixed and there is more possible connections with the wifi 6 band being used by the newer devices and older devices still working well on older bands. The second TP link unit I have run out to my office where it joins both wired and wireless devices. Having a 2.5Gb/s connection between the two TP link devices means that backbone / backhaul of data from my office has also got improved bandwidth. We are on a simple 300/100 fibre connection so don't need the WIFI 6 speed yet but when it becomes affordable to move up to hyperfibre I likely will, I have never regretted having good internet because I do a lot of work from home. I will definitely get advice and product from PN PBTech again.

The delivery time was incredible. Set up was super simple, took about 3 minutes and speed test were well above what our provider advertises with our plan. I have only set up 1 of the 2 and it was been more than enough for our 3 bedroom home. Great product.

One thing I would appreciate is a few more LED indicators for the Ethernet ports, and perhaps 1 extra port. The delivery time was incredible.
