    Been using them. They've been excellent.

  • Can the 2 pack be split? I just want one. Anyone want to split?

    • Yeah you can use each Deco individually.

      • Great. Thanks. Was wondering if anyone in Sydney wants to spilt?

        • dm'd if you are still looking

      • How to tell if a multiple pack mesh system is splittable over different houses? Thanks.

        • +1

          Instruction manual on the manufacturers website. You can split any TP-Link Deco bundles. What model are you referring to?

          • @Twix: Not sure which one yet. Even the cheapest TO-Link Deco ac1200 splittable, right? Appreciates

    • You can also buy just one by itself, but splitting a two-pack is more economical

  • Can you set a custom DNS on these - I currently use NextDNS to block Ads etc

  • +1

    Ive been using the rbk50 orbi for the past 8 years ive been thinking of upgrading to this. I really like the orbi system never had tplink. any opinions better or worse brand wise?

    • I've used both and found Deco to be easier to setup and never had the issues of LAN dropping out which plagued many firmware versions for years with Orbi.

    • +2

      If you dont have high speed NBN or no requirment for data tranfer between your devices, you may not feel any difference after upgrading.

    • +1

      I used to have a single rbk50 Orbi (I am pretty sure it is this one as it looks the same) and I am currently using of these Decos (2 meshed).

      Some basic comparison between the 2.

      Orbi

      Pros
      - Way more configuration options (if that is your thing)

      Cons
      - Coverage on a single one wasn't that great. It was OK

      Deco

      Pros
      - Coverage on a single one is great. Nearly to the point that I don't really need to mesh it with another one to cover my house.

      Cons
      - Very little configuration options and it's mainly done via an app on your phone
      - You can access your router configurations over the internet through TP-Link's site and you can't at this point in time turn that option off (they may add that option later but I doubt it). This is probably one of the biggest flaws people find about these routers.
      - Extra security features require a subscription.

  • I have this system and have been really happy with it. App is very intuitive for a non-tech-savvy person.

  • Would it be better to get triple pack from TGG commercial for $445?

    • If you want to split to save money, I would gladly buy one off you

    • XE75 TGG 3 pk vs XE75 Pro here.

      Whether one needs Pro is another thing, but they aren't the same product.

      • Whats the difference between the pro and non pro

        • +1

          Pro includes 1x 2.5G port and 2x gigabit ports whereas non pro has 3x gigabit ports. Might be some other differences but I believe this is the main one.

  • TP-Link Deco BE22000 https://amzn.asia/d/fv4O2js - wifi 7 still too expensive!

  • +5

    We've been using this for the past week and they work well but with a huge caveat. If your internet goes down or is unstable, the LAN also drops out when there's no internet connectivity and this is apparently a common issue with these since they can't distinguish between WAN and LAN ports when the internet is down. This meant I couldn't even access a hard wired server when the internet wasn't working…

    Thankfully, just got the NBN instability fixed so it shouldn't be an issue anymore but something to be aware of with this mesh router.

    • wow that's very frustrating.

    • That's interesting to know which would probably be a pain in the behind for local IoT access.

  • FYI for those who like to run a VPN client on the router - TP-Link is very slow on rolling out Wireguard support on these. Currently only the X50/55 and X60 v3 Decos have Wireguard.

    This still only has OpenVPN which means you're essentially capped at 50mbps if you are using a VPN.

  • +1

    Can you seperate out the 2.4 GHz connection? I've seen mixed answers on that. For security cameras etc, I only want them to connect to 2.4 frequency and never band hop.

    • +2

      The IoT network has a 2.4 only option. The guest network can have either/both. I'm not sure if all Deco's have the IoT setting but pretty sure they all have guest.

      • Excellent, thanks for the reply!

        • +4

          I can confirm that these have the IOT channel at 2.4, I'm using it for my cameras and smart home functions etc. In approx 9 months of use I've had only a few like issues but for the whole it runs smoothly and is very wife friendly!

    • +2

      Yes you can specify a preference for each connected device. You can specify which unit you connect to and whether it is 2.4 GHz or 5GHz.

  • Awesome price!

  • Gees a single 2.5Gb ethernet port is a real let down.

    • +1

      Yes, but one is better than none.

    • Deco BE65 has 4 x 2.5GbE and Wi-Fi 7 but it's $392 for a 1-pack.

      • Yes that is on my sights but I didn't want to buy from Japan as likely had nerfed power output.

        • $392 is local stock @ Amazon AU.

          • @Twix: Yeah too high for me - Japan deal was less than 250 each

  • Argh! I find this all so confusing. I was about to pull the trigger on the 3-pack Deco X68 (which I've posted about in multiple places now :-/). But now there's this! The 3 pack is a little more than I wanted to spend.

    • +1

      The biggest difference between the X68 and the XE75 is that it's WIFI 6 vs WIFI 6E (respectively). Google the differences between those WIFI versions to determine which is better suited to you. But generally the more advanced the WIFI standard, the more expensive the device.

      FWIW - most users would likely be more than happy with WIFI 6, so even something like the X55 could likely suit your needs. 3 pack currently being $299

      • Thanks!

        I think I’m going to take the plunge with this and hope that 2 cover what my 3 Orbis do (2 rbr20s and an RBK50).

        I’m assuming you can’t mix and match Deco models to add to a mesh? You can with the Orbi.

        • All Decos are compatible with each other.

  • +1

    Love these. Before them I had the top end Eero's and I was getting slow wifi and you had to be next to them to be able to get high speeds. I swapped to the XE75 Pro's and the difference was night and day. I am able to get 800+ anywhere in my house including outside. Strong connection, I have never had to intervene with them, once I set them up they just passively work in the background. I origionally had 2 but I loved them so much that I wanted to buy another one just to make sure 100% of the house was covered with no weaker spots, ended up getting another 2 pack that was on sale so now I have 4.

  • Good price, mine was purchased from eBay @415 :(

  • Can anyone please let me know if this will make any difference on a standard NBN plan (50mbs)? I'm currently have the Orbi3000 but it doesn't mention about 6e so I think it's just wifi 6. Thanks.

  • Can you force devices to connect to a particular node only and not try to node hop?

    • yes and yes

    • You can turn off mesh mode per device but it doesn't really do much. (That's on my X55s, but I think this is a common feature.)

    • Yes you can.

  • this 2x deco xe75pro or 2x eero6+

    Will this one be better than the 1x optus modem?

    200 sqm house with 100 mbps plan. (will switch to 250 mbps in december after contract ends).

    wifi is about 30 mbps in one of the rooms.

    • +2

      I am on 1GB FTTP with AUsssie, I came from Optus.
      I use the Optus modem and 3 of these in WAP mode and get over 500 Mbs everywhere in the house.
      The house is 300 metres squared over 3 levels.
      I also get about 4 houses down the street…

      • You can plugin the Deco to the nbn NTD. Any reason why you are using the Optus modem?

        • +2

          Just to kind of avoid what was discussed above, when Internet down (not often on FTTP), I can still access the NAS and other LAN resources like printer etc.
          I like the idea of using it in router mode and bypassing the Optus modem but also like accessing network printer etc. when I need to.

          • @sircable: Out of curiosity, how often would you say your FTTP goes down (e.g once a month/year/etc)? We're getting our fibre upgrade this week but considering whether we should get a 4G backup so we can access our NAS and other LAN resources if it does go down.

            • +3

              @savingmunny: I've had FTTP for about 5 years and it's only gone out like 3 times due to a power outage. If I had a UPS plugged into the nbn NTD and my router the FTTP would have stayed online.

              Most ISPs that include a 4G backup are 25Mbps or less and you have to use their supplied router. You can plugin your own 4G backup modem with faster speeds to a router of your choice. This assumes you have decent 4G speeds at your location.

          • @sircable: Why can’t you do that without Optus modem.
            Seems pointless on fttp.

  • does anyone know if they would be cheaper for blackfriday?

    • +5

      Knowledge of the future is too dangerous.

  • Can anyone help with letting me know if this product may solve my issue please

    400sqm build (concrete and double brick) with FTTP 250mbps plan (want to be on a 1000mbps plan), using a TP-Link Archer AX73 AX5400 Dual-Band Gigabit Wi-Fi 6 Router.
    I get very weak wifi signal at the back of the house and upstairs.
    Download speeds are bang on 250mpbs if im right next to the router, whereas upstairs i only get about 60-75% of the speed.

    If I set one Deco to connect to the NTD box, one upstairs and my AX73 router near the back of the house, would that solve the issue or am i kind of force to get someone to come in and wire up couple ethernet points?
    Back of the house i dont mind if i dont get max speeds but upstairs i do

    • +1

      My house is similar. First (>15 years ago) I started with wireless repeaters, which was a pain but better than nothing.
      After a few years I bit the bullet and got some Ethernet put in (up through roof and down outside walls.)
      If you want proper WiFi this is the only way to go.
      Then I got the Decos and haven't looked back.

      Regarding mesh, you don't need Deco. See https://www.ozbargain.com.au/comment/15634316/redir

      • Thanks McFly

        So if i choose not to do the ethernet yet, can i use what you had posted up as they have it for sale again for $299
        https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/870083

        I take it up set it up as wireless mesh covering the areas i need?

        • Sure you can. It will make your Archer redundant (unless you need some of its router features), which is why I suggested the EasyMesh option.

          • @McFly: Great thanks for the help @McFly

    • I have same router. Nbn250. Single story 500+ sqm.
      Bought last year a used tp wifi extender Re705x that supports one mesh.
      No dead spots. Cheaper alternative!

  • +2

    I ended up buying and set up last night
    Works amazing
    Wireless backhaul as I’m in a rental but hit 930mbps down on my pc in next room
