Any benefit of getting the 6E version over this?

  Only if you live in a high density apartment.

  It does the backhaul (I.e the connection between routers) over 6ghz, which means it’s not competing for bandwidth with itself. But then for me the most data heavy using systems aren’t connecting to the node connected to the router.
  
  Through TGGC I paid $440 for the XE75, which I think is worth it. Saved me needing to wire things up.
  - arctan on 21/08/2024 - 22:59
    
    I got the XE75 as well. How do you set up the XE75? Is it wired mesh or wireless mesh?

      You can do either, I have it as wireless as I don't have Ethernet cabling at my place and it runs over its own dedicated 6hz band. I would always recommend a dedicated backhaul in wireless mesh environments.
      - arctan on 22/08/2024 - 17:22
        
        @scud70: Just wondering if you use a router? Does it need to be a Wifi 6E router?

        @arctan: It's a router in itself, you don't need anything else. Basically you get a pack of 3, pick one at random out of the box to plug your NBN modem into, then set the other two up around the house as needed.
        
        arctan on 26/08/2024 - 16:42
        
        @freefall101: Thanks mate. Now I understand. I thought I still need a standalone router before I can connect the 3 pack mesh wifi units.
        
        arctan on 29/08/2024 - 19:23
        
        @freefall101: One more question on the mesh. Can I add a single X60 unit to the 3 pack of XE75? Would they still be able to connect as mesh system?
        
        freefall101 on 29/08/2024 - 22:18
        
        @arctan: Never tried it, main issue is the XE75 uses 6ghz as the backhaul, X60 doesn't support 6ghz. Not sure if it's smart enough to use varying backhaul across the network.
        
        https://www.tp-link.com/uk/support/faq/2248/ - it should definitely work as a mesh network, but I'd contact their support on the mixed backhaul.
        
        McFly on 29/08/2024 - 23:32
        
        @arctan: All Decos are compatible with each other - obviously up to the capability of each individual node. So in that case x60 will not talk to other nodes at 6Ghz and any device connected to it won't connect at 6GHz either.
  - Kinko82 on 26/08/2024 - 15:41
    
    That's a great deal, thanks for the heads up. I was going to buy this deal but ended up getting the XE75 from TGGC.
    
    That is a massive discount against what other places are selling it for.

I read the x55 and x50 have issues with connectivity…

I'm looking to find a replacement as i am having the same problem with my Google Mesh..

Anyone have reco's?
- superforever on 21/08/2024 - 22:43
  
  Installed a few X50, no problem here.
  - UncleRico on 21/08/2024 - 23:27
    
    Ditto. And paid $80 less than this for a 3 pack of identically spec’ed units.

  Doesn't get much vaguer than that!
  Have had X55s (and other models) for ages and they work great.
- PhilToinby on 22/08/2024 - 02:09
  
  I'm no expert on this topic, but I've had 3 X Deco X20's running almost faultlessly for 2.5 years. Occasionally my phone takes a moment to switch between units when I move around, but it's never been an issue of not being able to get a signal, and I'm on a 530m2 block and I get good wifi from the driveway to the back corner of the property. Download speeds are pretty much 200Mb/s or above everywhere, which is my plan speed. Some of this is thanks to having a CAT6 cable running between two living rooms as I have internal brick walls.
  
  Obviously if you can afford to spend more, get a newer model than this!
  - astevens on 22/08/2024 - 07:22
    
    I'll second the goodness of the X20's. Have had a set of 3 running with an X20DSL added for quite a few years now and it's faultless over our 800m2 property.
    Mine is completely wireless as I'm too lazy to get into the ceiling and run cables to every room.

    Also running and very happy with X20’s. With Ethernet back haul generally getting 350-450Mbps anywhere in the house. Plenty for anything I have connected via wifi.
    
    Did look at XE75’s during Prime Day sales but couldn’t justify it - faster wifi wouldn’t give me anything.

  X50 good here (single level house in bush)
- oztroy on 22/08/2024 - 06:54
  
  Just finished getting 2 of my 3 X55 units replaced. They just cooked themselves one night. Good thing is the 3 year warranty and their support managed to get me a replacement (through Amazon) within 2 days of the first call.
- iuselect on 22/08/2024 - 11:09
  
  I have the x50 (3 pack) and the connectivity to all of my devices drops out fairly often (multiple times a day, my nbn doesn't drop out on the NTD). I've done very extensive testing, different firmwares, router connected to UPS, factory resetting and swapping mesh units around, swapping between PPPoE/IPoE, and I'm convinced it's faulty.
  
  The most annoying thing is the place I got it (bunnings) from told me I need to speak to TP-Link to go get a warranty case number in order to return it/refund it. I've spoken to TP Link customer support and they are completely hopeless, they first went through troubleshooting for a no sync fault, which I told them it's a dropout issue. it's been a week and they finally have "escalated it to their engineering team". this is where it gets better, they need me to jump on a call with them and install anydesk so they can do remote troubleshooting. absolutely no chance I'm doing that.

    Did you try wired connection?
    
    If only wireless, it can be the channel Interference, I am not sure if you can change channel with X50.
    - iuselect on 22/08/2024 - 13:37
      
      I have my home server via ethernet on the mesh unit connected to the NTD which also experiences interruptions when everything drops. It's so bad that I've stood up an uptime-kuma instance to monitor the drops, they are pretty quick drops too, lasting between 30-60s and where all the mesh units go solid red.
      
      It's incredibly frustrating and I'm out of ideas.
      - superforever on 22/08/2024 - 13:40
        
        @iuselect: May have to try only with one on at a time to see which one caused the problem, I heard that if Internet drop, Mesh network will also drop for some reason.
      - McFly on 22/08/2024 - 22:50

        @McFly: just using the mesh unit directly to the NTD with IPoE
  - McFly on 27/08/2024 - 17:22
    
    So you've tried it with just one node connected?
    And a separate node if the first one didn't work?
    - iuselect on 27/08/2024 - 20:22
      
      Yep, I ran it just with one node. Still had issues. Factory reset, swapped with another node, set it backup and still had issues.
      
      I've managed to get a replacement, despite the difficulties of dealing with tplink support. So far the replacement has been fine (been a few days). Maybe my old unit was just a lemon. But time will tell I guess.
      - McFly on 27/08/2024 - 20:29
        
        @iuselect: But I don't get that. That means you have (at least) 2 faulty units, which is unlikely, and there's still the third…
        
        iuselect on 28/08/2024 - 10:27
        
        @McFly: yeh, I know it seems unlikely that more than 1 unit was faulty, but I don't know what else to tell you. I did as much troubleshooting as I could think of (everyone who lives with me got really sick of factory resetting the router so many times and setting it back up so many times) as well as most of what TP-Link suggested. I drew the line when they wanted to install anydesk on my pc and do remote desktop troubleshooting. I didn't want to have to get a replacement if I didn't have to, but the new set has been working well since installing it.
        
        McFly on 28/08/2024 - 12:27
        
        @iuselect: Well, that's good.
        I also had teething problems and the family were also giving me grief.
- sweetchilli on 22/08/2024 - 11:42
  
  No issues with my X55’s had them for a year now. Mine don’t drop out unless I have a power outage. I game on wifi now without any ping issues as well.
- playbargain on 22/08/2024 - 12:27
  
  No way. I had the Google mesh for a few years and things randomly disconnect, not until I replace it with the X50 recently did I realise how bad and unstable Google mesh was. The X50 has been rock solid and much reliable.

        Though there’s a different between this topic and you claiming you were a cadet in probably the 1970s, and you pointlessly jumping on my comment where I had mentioned that I recently worked for a business that sold military gear and surplus and how the torch that was advertised wasn’t suitable for modern day Australian cadet schools, for what it seems no other purpose than you trying to make yourself look knowledgeable on the internet and me look bad, only to have it backfire on you by disagreeing with me because it is you who was in fact wrong about it. You couldn’t even support your argument and backup your claims when asked questions, such as which cadet school did you attend and between what years?

        Your comment here just further backs up what I have already observed and think about you, you spend far too much time on the internet, and seek gratification out of pointless likes and dislikes of comments, and think this popularity actually means something. People agreeing with you doesn’t prove anything, all of the people who have agreed with you about the torch discussion are just as foolish and as wrong as you are, and not one person has provided anything to dispute the gear requirements I mentioned from cadet schools such as as Singleton and Knox Grammar to say otherwise.

        @[Deactivated]: You said the torch isn't tactical to the school based unit regulations because it doesn't have the filters, while I argued that overall the torch is still tactical and doesn't need to be compliant to cadet regulations to be tactical. In other words a little bit of critical thinking will teach you that everyone's definition of tactical is different. Is it compliant to the SBU's that you're involved in? No. Is it compliant to my definition of tactical? Yes. Is it compliant to Wuben's definition of tactical… clearly. There's nothing wrong with that.
        
        Now here's something to blow your mind since you love making assumptions about everything. You'll be shocked to discover that there's more than just Sydney school based units. Not once have I said I belonged to one and nor have I ever said that I didn't. That assumption was made by you and you've rolled with it the whole time.
        
        Now let's find a place and a time to meet up. You keen?

        @Clear: You see that’s exactly where you have gone wrong and what the problem is, it wasn’t necessary for you to comment to begin with to argue that, ones opinion on whether it qualifies as a tactical torch is irrelevant to what I said. You talk about critical thinking, however you were unable to get your head around the simple context and the purpose of my original comment about the torch. I was merely informing any member of this site that may have a child in a cadet school who might have been considering that torch for their kid to use at camp, that it doesn’t meet the requirements that many schools ask for. My comment was helpful and productive, and was meant to save people money and them from making the wrong decision, however you decided to attack it and come at from at from a non productive and helpful angle.
        
        Of course there are more cadet schools than just the ones in Sydney, however this requirement isn’t just bound to Sydney cadet schools, and the business I used to work for that sells military surplus and gear isn’t just confined to Sydney and NSW. In your original comment you said “When I was a cadet we…”, so far you have ignored my question about which cadet school you claim you attended and during which years, and I think this is because I will catch you out on your lie if you do.

One of us is certainly all talk, a critical thinker I think not… If you truly were a critical thinker like you previously made reference to yourself being you wouldn’t even have asked me the question that you have now deleted, it was definitely a dumb question, but clearly you don’t realise that, and aren’t smart enough to figure how I could trip you up on your obvious dishonesty without me even needing to get in touch with any of my contacts in that industry if you revealed the cadet school that you supposedly attended and between what years.
        
        You have refused to back yourself up and answer simple questions at every turn and step of the way. So in that case are we finally done now? Or are you going to continue with your fake online persona running your mouth for the sake of it because you can’t admit when you are wrong, and keep trying to come at me over the torch discussion again and again in threads on Ozbargain as though you still think you were right about it when you are not all at, and pretending you haven’t lied when you and I both know you have? When someone isn’t telling the truth and others know it but yet they keep running with it you know you’re not speaking to a very smart person.

It’s about the gear requirements that the cadet school requests that you say you attended… Is a torch with a red, green and blue filter currently a part of their requirements, and whether it was also a requirement there when you supposedly attended, which I can easily verify and confirm. This would also confirm and prove that you were dishonest about being a cadet when you said in your very first comment to me attacking my comment about the torch and cadets, that this type of torch wasn’t a requirement at the school when you went to cadets… You have also said you are about 10 years younger than me, so that would put you around 33 years old, many cadet schools were asking for this requirement 15-20 years ago.

        From the get go I said a torch can use the word tactical even if it doesn't meet Army Cadet standards. Standards which by the way do vary between states (I don't live in NSW and didn't attend a school unit) and cadet units / school based units.
        
        For my state we were to have red filters only in the bush. On base that restriction was removed.
        
        Wuben aren't marketing towards Army Cadets anyway. They have several different product lines and one of them is "tactical". You've just spun it all differently to mean that "you're wrong about what is allowed in army cadets" when that was never the case.

        I don’t care about your opinion regarding the torch and your opinion regarding the definition of tactical. My point has been that you didn’t need to respond to my original comment about the torch and cadets at all, everything you have said about the torch has been completely irrelevant to my first comment that was for the purpose of informing and being helpful to cadet parents on this site. However you thought you were smart and knew what you were talking about in your very first post about the torch, and you commented about being a cadet to make what you said sound more like you did know what you were on about… You thought it was a good idea to attack my comment to try to discredit what I had said, and you were wrong in doing so, and now that’s what my goal is in this argument to discredit you… We both know you’re full of BS about ever attending cadets, you never did and you know it.
        
        I accidentally didn’t respond to the following comment of yours in my previous post so I will below - “Cool so if you were so smart you'd be able to figure out that I didn't attend a Sydney based school unit”
        
        I suspected that you weren’t referring to a Sydney Cadet school right from the get go. Again, just because I live in Sydney it doesn’t mean that’s where my knowledge and reach ends in regards to this.

        Yes it’s confirmed, definitely thick as pig 💩. Yes, you eventually acknowledged that, but you still haven’t said which cadet school you attended and during what years?
        
        I dropped the hints the whole time there's more than Sydney school based units and have just said I didn't attend one. Yet you keep asking and now dropping personal attacks.

        @Clear: But you keep missing my point about that. So what, what’s your point about that? You seem to think because I live in Sydney that it’s relevant, and that this means that I don’t have knowledge about other states cadets schools requirements, and that the military surplus/gear retailer that I have previously worked for doesn’t sell gear to cadet students in other states.

        @[Deactivated]: That's never been in doubt. The torch is tactical but it doesn't meet the requirements for Sydney based army Cadet units. So what's the issue?

        @Clear: Because you have refused to answer any and all of what are very simple questions about the time you supposedly spent in cadet… What state it was in, what school it was for, and during what years certainly aren’t difficult questions. And you haven’t provided a good reason for not answering those questions.
        
        The torch doesn’t meet the requirements of other cadets schools in other states either, not just in NSW.

        I'll happily give you the information if you can articulate how you'll verify the information. If you're not an adult volunteer how could you possibly find out? Asking a contact? Let's hope not. Or are you that Lt who swore to shut down Cadet Memes in 2012. That was a funny one.

        @Clear: You’re just arguing semantics there, I accidentally wrote school while having a hang over on a Saturday morning, get over it… You still evading the questions.
        
        I have explained already how I intend to use the information, I will use the sources available to me to verify the gear requirements of the cadet unit you say were a part of during the years that you were there. If it’s confirmed that torches with red, blue and green filters weren’t a requirement at that point in history, only then will I believe that you haven’t been dishonest about being a cadet.
        
        How could I possibly find out? Considering the majority of cadet schools/units provide lists of their gear requirements to the retailer I used to work for every year, the answer is I could find out pretty easily.
        
        Clear on 24/08/2024 - 10:48
        
        @[Deactivated]: I already said red filters lights were a requirement. If you were a cadet you'd also be aware that Units, Companies, Ballations, Brigades and even individual officers have their own rules that don't fit in line with the official handbook per se.
        
        For example we had a SSGT from NZ. Despite the rank being retired and her being officially a Sgt she wore the SSGT rank slide.
        
        On our weekends with the reserves we followed newer formations and tactics that weren't in the AAC guidelines. They gave us Army supplied rations too and not the Hunger Busters after that kid with the peanut allergy died.
        
        We rode in the back of MOGs during the ban when that kid fell out. The same with fires. We had those in Pucka when they were temporarily banned after that kid cut himself and fell in the fire.
        
        One company allowed chest webbing, while another had it banned. The latter said it was easier to smuggle ammunition casings out of the range despite everyone getting checked anyway. Funny enough that same officer was caught trying to take an old artillery shell out years later.
        
        We had unit patches for AFX before unit patches (let alone the AU flag) was introduced to uniforms.
        
        Army Aviation Cadets wore berets despite the ban.
        
        The list of rule breaking goes on. Of course SBUs and those units closer to HQ you'd expect to be more compliant. Of course when some units are run more by 'no ADF experience' volunteers rather than actual current or former ADF you notice a difference.

        @Clear: What you originally said is that torches without red lights we were allowed in some situations. My original comment referred to school cadets between the ages of 14-18, and the gear requirements of many of the cadet schools for their students, I haven’t spoken about any other requirements beyond that. The purchasing of a torch with red, green and blue filters is generally asked of the cadet parents by their schools, because some of their tasks and exercises require the use of those filters at camp… It’s obvious that they use the torches without those filters the majority of the time, but having a torch with those filters is a requirement nonetheless. Anyway, unless you’re going to my questions, there is no sense in continuing, in which case I’m done.

  Only if you're on a 500-1000 Mbps plan and have WiFi connected devices that will benefit from and are capable of those speeds. For most people on 50-250 Mbps plans the M5's are great.

so i got GL.iNet Flint 2 (GL-MT6000) Wi-Fi 6 Router from https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/862271 deal for my new 1000/50 nbn plan. The only issue is that my pc in 2nd bedroom will need a LAN line for fast internet speed. Would this Mesh help?

  Answer 1: Yes, unless you are in fact going to wire up the 2nd bedroom.
  Answer 2: Yes, although it then begs the question as to why you bought the other router in the first place…
  - stilltooexpensive on 22/08/2024 - 09:47
    
    Thank you for your reply. I have no idea when it comes to modems and home network :(
    
    My current router is a default one that came with previous NBN plan that only facilitate 100mbps download speed and needed a new router. The LAN socket in my new 2nd bedroom is located in a weird place so this deal made me think would this be a better solution than having lan line wiring around the room.
    
    Do you recommend refunding the above router and getting a cheaper alternative if i buy this Mesh system? Thank you once again.

      First rule of networking (as just created by me!) is wires>wireless, so if I were you I would try my absolute best to use a wire.
      
      Unless there is some special reason/feature for having the other router (and I'm guessing there isn't) I would definitely get the Deco instead, though you probably won't even need three of them if your house isn't that big.

I'm absolutely lost with the jargon of modems these days. House is single storey, double brick construction about 250sqm in size. I dont play video games and would only use this for work, streaming media and browsing. Would this be suitable and do I need a 2 pack or 3 pack? TIA!

    What I would recommend is having one near the backyard. Obviously depends on your layout but I always find that my wifi drops out when I'm in the backyard or balcony. You tend to not need wifi if you're leaving your house so front yard is less important

      Thanks mate. Is there any other modems at the same price bracket that would be a better option?

We have an nbn 800 plan, and had to get a mesh network for the wifi to work downstairs (concrete floor, metal framing in walls and insulated).
Bought the x50 set last week. 700+ upstairs, but only 100 mbps downstairs. Not ideal, but works fine what I am using it for.
X50 setup was straight forward. Download the app and follow instructions 👍

Does these have a feature where I can turn off the internet from only 1 device connected to the Wi fi? Like in the whole household I just want to turn off the wi fi from my son's ipad
- sh4hp on 22/08/2024 - 07:35
  
  Pretty sure it does through the deco app. I tried it with an ipad as well and it worked.
donkcat on 22/08/2024 - 07:11

I have a 12 year old router for our crappy FTTN connection (50 mbps), wifi range is really beginning to become an issue in our single story brick home. Am I better off upgrading to a whole new single WIFI 6 router or would I be better off with these? I see the TGGC have the DECO-X80 2 pack for $333, would that be better than these?
- PhilToinby on 22/08/2024 - 08:14

  Personally I'd get a mesh system. Any of the decos will likely be significantly better than you have now.
  
  If you try a single wifi 6 router, make sure it's compatible with adding on a mesh extender.
  
  In my experience with the X20 there are definitely less customisation options than a standalone router but it's pretty much plug and play and it just works. Also they do seem to adjust themselves a little after being plugged in. I added on a third unit in my garage and was immediately disappointed with the download speed. I left it on and went back and tried it the next day and it was almost as good as the other units…someone smarter than me will be able to comment on what this settling in period is called!

Cheers, gonna upgrade my m5 with this. Is it worth keeping the m5s on the network, or more hassle than they're worth?
- Bargainer99 on 22/08/2024 - 19:27
  
  Depends on layout of your house. Maybe put m5s at very edge of range wherever these can't reach well.
  - Hurg on 22/08/2024 - 21:12
    
    Yeah, was thinking that. Might chuck one in the shed!
- McFly on 22/08/2024 - 22:18
  
  Not a hassle, you'll be adding the new ones to your current network anyway.
