TP-Link Deco XE75 (3 Pack) AXE5400 Mesh Wi-Fi 6E System $606 + Delivery @ The Good Guys Commercial (Membership Required)

190

On the hunt for a home mesh wifi to replace my aged Google WiFi first gen.

The Good Guys Commercial have some solid pricing on both the Deco and Orbi products - still researching which to go with, though previous comments point to Orbi not being great with recent firmware and no straight forward means to disable auto update. Only looking at products with a dedicated ethernet backhaul.

The XE75 3 pack retails at $999, cheapest elsewhere is $805 @ Expansys.

Netgear Orbi prices:

Netgear Orbi AX6000 - RBK853 3 Pack $1164 / RBK852 2 Pack $775
Netgear Orbi AX4200 - RBK753 3 Pack $778 / RBK752 2 Pack $519

Commercial membership is straight forward, see deal.

    Solid pricing. Deco app informs me they’re releasing wifi7 gear on the 14th though

    Seriously consider a Unifi Dream Router and a U6 Lite AP for similar money. Scalable to endless possibilities and some seriously cool features. I spent hundreds on cheaper solutions and countless hours debugging and wish I went Unifi earlier.

    • I'm running that exact setup right now, which replaced a deco m5 setup. The unifi is pretty crispy. I only paid about 520-530ish for the unifi from wireless 1 ebay when coupons were alright.

    • Depends on the use case, for home use TP-Link is one of the best solutions, however if you like to tinker\customize a little (not a lot) then Dream Router is a solid solution.

  • Just out of interest, what are you guys needing wifi 6E for? I feel like the average home user is fine without it. From what I can tell, I don't even get close to maxing out Wifi 6 capabilities

    • Bigger numbers are ALWAYS better, everyone knows this

    • It's not normally about "speed", moving from 5 to 6 provides a significant drop in latency, which can be important for gaming and streaming VR.
      Unlike WiFi 6, 6E is NOT backwards compatible, the theory is for fast devices it can create a dedicated channel with lower latency, and in-some uses cases that can be true. (eg: using WiFi for the backplane and a large number of your high-bandwidth devices connect to the satellites and not the main). Most real world deployments people wire their high-demand devices and\or connect to the primary node(acting as the router).

      When I last checked, WiFi7 isn't going to offer any real benefit in Australia yet, as the channels have not been released.

  • Thanks for this. Made me change my mind on the ASUS XT8, which seems to only be going up in price.

  • This is the XE75, not the XE75 Pro. Not sure if it’s a big deal though

      Pro has one 2.5GB ethernet port instead of 1GB. Think that's it.

  • I’m on the same boat trying to replace my GG wifi Gen 1 with newer tech too, have you found a solution?

  • I placed an order last month. Still waiting for stock. Anyone else on the same boat?

  • I'm actually considering returning mine. I have deco 68s. I don't think this has complemented the setup. Deco 68s have 2.4, 5, 5. 5s are backhaul. This is 2.4, 5, 6. Feels like it's congested the system / ruined the 5s backhaul concept. Anyone have any thoughts
