    I have the x68 but just here to say these are super easy to setup! Literally just a few minutes with the app.

  • scuderiarmani on 28/02/2023 - 17:48

    Have these…. Absolutely love them.

    Initially some drops but like their marketing says, they tune themselves, and oddly, great ever since….

    One MAJOR issue I'd advise. They didn't like non TP link switches when connecting via Ethernet backhaul… Had to get rid of my D Link Switches.

    Also, no separate 2.4/5 ssid. But I've noticed lately, unsure if updated… You can tell devices to prefer a given channel and turn off Roaming.

    • ATangk on 28/02/2023 - 19:34

      Isn’t no separate 2.4/5ghz ssid an issue when using smart devices, or does the system automatically tune to 2.4 ghz for those that can’t use 5ghz?

      • scuderiarmani on 28/02/2023 - 19:36

        I did see recently in the app you can set a preferred channel for them. Does seem to work….

        I wanted to ensure all my basic things were on 2.4 for sure.

        Was just a little disappointed you couldn't easily do it initially. But more just a little minor complaint.

  • bfimmortal on 28/02/2023 - 18:06

    In the market for a Wifi 6 router, but need one with a USB port to be used as a simple NAS.

    How do I add simple storage if I get this? Or better off getting something like ASUS RT-AX86U?

    • Twix on 28/02/2023 - 18:16

      Purchase the Asus for USB port(s).

      Asus all the way.

    I'm new to this whole mesh thing (currently have an Asus DSL-AC68U modem/router on NBN).

    Is this thing just a router or is it also a modem/router for NBN?

    Assuming it is, can I just buy a 2 pack - put one downstairs and one upstairs and my coverage would be good?

      WiFi Router not DSL modem, can also setup as wireless access point with your existing router.

      Assuming it is, can I just buy a 2 pack - put one downstairs and one upstairs and my coverage would be good?

      Mesh WiFi coverage a lot better if you have a large house, the first one have to connect by wire, second and third either wire or wireless.

      If you require a modem, you'll still need one. Ideally something like a Telstra Gen 2 bridged for like $30.

      These are Routers only.

      Every house and layout is different. So hard to speak on another's scenario. I require 4 in a long Town house. No hope in hell with 2.

    • mandelbrot on 28/02/2023 - 18:10

      Just a router. Plugs into your modem if you use one.

      Do you have ethernet cabling that can connect the two devices together? If so, then they'll communicate to each other using wired backhaul. If you don't, then they'll need to communicate to each other using wireless backhaul. Getting a tri band mesh system (i.e. not this one) will be better as there is a dedicated 5GHz band for wireless backhaul.

    • aerobot on 01/03/2023 - 08:21

      I have the 2 pack and have FTTC connection at home. I just connect the first deco unit directly to the NBN connection box without a modem in between (I'm not sure if you count the NBN connection box as a modem).

      YMMV and might depend on your NBN provider.

      • Twix on 01/03/2023 - 11:51

        nbn NCD used for FTTC connections is a VDSL2 modem.

        For the FTTC to FTTP changeover nbn installs a different fibre NTD that plugs into your Deco.

    Problem with the X series decos (I have three X68s) is that you can't force a node to connect to a specific node if the main one is still within range even if the closer node has a stronger signal). Some of the M series models fixed this with a firmware update. But nothing yet with the X series and it's been almost 2 years or something

    • mandelbrot on 28/02/2023 - 18:19

      That's pretty crap. I though that's one of the advantages of mesh networks?

      • CVonC on 28/02/2023 - 18:20
        +1

        Yeah it's a fatal flaw in the X series implementation tbh

        My setup is a line configuration. And the furthest node still connects to the main router even though there's a satellite node right in between. So stupid.

          Same issue here.

          Yep same issue here… Regret moving away from netgear Orbi to the XE75… I also have stuff that just randomly stops connecting, Amazon dot for instance and now my Samsung TV… Even phones and laptops sometimes just stop getting to the internet even though they are connected to wifi… Honestly id never recommend these to anyone… This is my experience and I understand others have better outcomes.

    • superforever on 28/02/2023 - 18:20

      Did you try enable fast roaming?

      • CVonC on 28/02/2023 - 18:22

        No that's for clients.

        • mandelbrot on 28/02/2023 - 18:24

          I've got a fast roaming setting in the Deco app for the M9 routers.

          • CVonC on 28/02/2023 - 18:27

            @mandelbrot: No I mean fast roaming is for the benefit of clients. I have the setting for the X68 but I haven't enabled it. I'll try it when I get home but I doubt it's going to make a difference. Because for the M5, it's a specific setting where you can actually select what the source node will be.

        • superforever on 28/02/2023 - 18:27

          Is it possible to turn off the one that you don't want it to connect to? Or take it far away to force it to connect to the one you want?

          • CVonC on 28/02/2023 - 18:31

            @superforever: I've tried turning off the main router but that just kills the whole network.

            It's physically impossible for me to put the main router out of range unfortunately. But I believe that will work.

            • superforever on 28/02/2023 - 18:51

              @CVonC: OK, I have M5 3 pack, only 1 on wireless and connected to the main router which is the closest one, so I am not sure whether it will auto move to the other one is the main one wasn't the closest.

    • mandelbrot on 28/02/2023 - 18:22

      Do you know which M series models got this fixed?
      (I've got a M9 set will shortly be replaced)

      • CVonC on 28/02/2023 - 18:26

        M5 definitely does. M9 not sure.

        There's a big thread about it on the TP-Link forums.

        Even the E series is fkd.

    • mrgeckoz on 01/03/2023 - 00:01

      My m5 set had these settings, upgraded to x60 and can confirm these are lacking. Hopefully new firmware will be out soon.

    Is X60 better than X50 and X55? except only 2 LAN ports.

    • ozchobie on 28/02/2023 - 21:22

      Just get a network switch.

      • superforever on 28/02/2023 - 21:34

        Some said X60 not faster

  • AAN on 28/02/2023 - 20:20

    This or spend some more to buy X50-PoE ? Purely due to is PoE capability

    • Fluffyduck77 on 28/02/2023 - 22:04

      X50-PoE has a 2.5gb ethernet port too

      • AAN on 28/02/2023 - 22:36

        If i am connecting them to Gbe PoE switch to power them, i doubt i’ll get any benefits of 2.5gb ethernet ?
        Where do this port come in handy ?

  • mnckt on 01/03/2023 - 08:29

    This or the other $125 deal for the ASUS RT-AX56U AX1800 Dual Band WiFi 6 (802.11ax)? unsure if I need a mesh system as I have a dog water tplink1600v, would I be better off with this 2 mesh system or 2 of the ASUS routers?

    • superforever on 01/03/2023 - 08:50

      Mesh is better if you have a big house needs roam around.

  • brunoagain on 01/03/2023 - 14:08

    This, or powerline + unifi AP?
    If the wi-fi signal barely reaches the bedroom currently, I don't understand how these will make it any better, if they are just repeating a weak signal.

    • superforever on 01/03/2023 - 14:12

      If the wi-fi signal barely reaches the bedroom currently,

      With Mesh, you may need one in the middle to boost the signal to the bedroom.

      Something like

      Main Mesh ——-> Second Mesh ———> Third Mesh ———> etc ……
