Tp-Link Deco X60(1-Pack) Ax5400 Whole Home Mesh Wireless Wifi System, Next-Gen Wi-Fi 6, Ofdma And Mu-Mimo, Homecare Build-In Antivirus, Parental Control, Compatible With Alexa (2900 Sq Ft) - Dual Band

I received this router last week which is also known as AX50. I was overexcited of getting WiFi 6 router. I overlooked some review on amazon about how it heats up when placed on flat surface and ordered myself as I needed a gigabyte router and thought to invest in the new technology. So far I can summarize some of the issues I came across on this router (I have around 10 Tp-link routers at this point, from cheapest to N to dual band.)1. It does heat up considerably from top and bottom middle portion. If I have to keep this router and no firmware can fix this, you have to install a PC cabinet fan under it to help remove the heat.2. This router doesn't provide Bridging/WDS functionality that all other routers that I have from tp-link has. Very disappointed as this functionality is present even in the least expensive tp-link router.3. The range of 2.4 GHz is no better than cheapest tp-link single band dual antenna that cost around 1000 rs has so disappointed with 2.4GHz WiFi performance.4. 5 GHz band is as usual have short range. The 5 GHz AC can connect to any device with a maximum of 1200 Mbps link speed, even if supported WiFi adapter maximum speed is higher to 1200mbps. If only AX mode is selected, router can connect to AX device to maximum of 2400 Mbps but it will not run AC mode. With mix mode with AC and AX, the maximum connection speed reduces to 1200 Mbps even for AX devices. So, this router is called AX router with 2400 Mbps for 5GHz or a AX router with 1200 Mbps that can connect to AC devices too, so it is misleading on part of TP-link. I shared the same on their forum but no response from their representative.5. Channel numbers for each band seems to change from those set in the admin configuration page after few session so if any bridge router connected to this AX router, it will disconnect.6. Ethernet Gigabit ports is maxing out at around 750 mbps read and 350 mbps write speed. I used CAT 7 cable to test the speed in my internal network. With a gigabit switch, I can get around 900mbps read and 600mbps write. Disappointed here too.7. AC wifi is maxing out at 22 MBps and 45 MBps in the internal network test. This is disappointing result as this results is what I can get with older tp-link C5 router.8. With Intel AX200NGW wifi 6 160 MHz adapter, I could connect to the router with 2400 Gbps connection.9. This router doesn't support tp-link OneMesh functionality which allow to connect other router to form a internet mesh to avoid wifi deadspots in home or office.For configurations, I have disabled Airtime Fairness and OFDMA. I have enabled MU-MIMO as my laptop Killer's wifi adapter 1550i supports it. Smart connect is disconnected. One ethernet and 2 wlan devices are connected to the router. AX functionality is not yet tested as I still have to install Intel's wifi 6 AX200NGW adapter to my laptop. Router is running on new firmware as mentioned in the details.I did some test to get AX performance of the router. I enabled OFDMA, from 20 MHz till 160 MHz and MU MIMO functions for 5 GHz band and did all test with wifi router 1feet from the laptop equipped with Intel AX200NGW 160MHz wifi adapter. The test was done using Synology Diskstation connected to the router Gigabit port. Diskstation is capable of read and write of over 800 Mbps.Channel number 120 (DFS) Below is the test results:20MHz - Writing 98.33 Mbps reading 166.51 Mbps - laptop achieved connection with link speed of 287 Mbps40MHz - Writing 125 Mbps reading 250 Mbps - laptop achieved connection with link speed of 574 Mbps80MHz - Writing 180 Mbps reading 350 Mbps - laptop achieved connection with link speed of 1200 Mbps160MHz - Writing 165 Mbps reading 370 Mbps - laptop achieved connection with link speed of 1200 Mbps160MHz - Writing 190 Mbps reading 400 Mbps - laptop achieved connection with link speed of 2400 MbpsFurther I tested the USB 3.0 speed by connecting a Lexar Triton USB 3 with maximum speed 170 read and 170 write speed. I got no more than 15 MBps in write and 25 MBps in read when router was connected with 2400 Mbps speed. The result of these transfer is again disappointing .Other star attraction feature of QoS and parental control won't work if you have no tp-link id and internet connection. For this id, you have to give personal information and potential risk of direct connection of this router to some Chinese company which, if they want, they can access all of your devices connected to this router.In view of my observations since last 2 days and several test as mentioned above, I believe that this router is not worth the money spend.Bridging/WDS function removed and AX band and USB 3 actual transfer rate as well as 2.4 GHz range are mediocre at best. Heat generation is another big issue to the longevity of the device.

I returned the router after 5 days of using because of speed fluctuations & heating issue. Tested with Galaxy S10 Plus & iPhone 11 pro maxPROS• Afordable Wi-Fi 6 Router at this price• Reliable Wi-Fi, good coverage• Tons of network settings and customization• Responsive web user interface, useful mobile app• Light weight, wall-mountableCONS• Middling Wi-Fi specs• Fluctuating Wi-Fi connection speeds• No multi-gig port, USB 2.0• Heating Issue

Easy to install and has one of the easiest to use interface but the 5gh band fails sometime,the customer service said they will address the issue in the next update.also it still doesn't have onemesh support so doesnt cover my entire house.

After reading the heating issues of AX50, I decided to purchase the AX10 model. As usual, amazon delivered the router the next day. I previously had Dlink DIR 841, which I returned and decided to purchase this one. As both of my devices (my laptop and Mobile) are WiFi6 compatible. So, I didn't have any issue with connecting the device to the 5 GHz band. My previous router was not able to provide 200 Mbps consistently. It used to start with 193 and then gradually would go down to 170 to 158. This new router is much more consistent in speed and doesn't heat up at all like AX50. The UI is also well organized and intuitive. It was very easy to set up and get connected in no time. The only con here is this router doesn't have a 160 MHz band. Though it's too much to ask for and hey, it's a bargain at this price point. There is nothing bad about this router. So, overall a good router, and I would recommend anyone to go for it if you have a 200 Mbps or higher plan.

UPDATE (AX1500):Have been using it for 4 days now - there are no call drops unlike with my previous routers, and that is with simultaneous video watching on three devices (wife watching TV and kids watching two phones) while I'm having my skype calls for work - this is huge for me.No overheating observed unlike many reviews here - may be they updated some firmware, my be because I have kept the router out in the open where it is well ventilated.Previous review:I got the AX1500 modelDon't have MU-MIMO devices at home yet so couldn't test thatAnd comparison is really with Airtel provided Huawei 8145 router which I have been using (and prior to that the router ACT Broadband had provided)The Airtel router would start dropping the internet and throttling speed with 5-7 connections, that problem seems to have disappeared (I have been using it just for a day, will know more by Tuesday with all the office meetings)I have a 2100sq ft home and the router is placed in one corner, the airtel router didn't cover the home, nor does this one.But I have a range extender on the 2.4GHz band - that used to get a weak signal with Airtel router, now it is getting a very strong signal and the extender is boosting the signal to the entire house where the primary router signal is weak - so that's very goodIf I could place the AC1500 near the center of the flat, I think signal would have reached everywhere, including the 5GHz signalMy apartment building has an extremely cluttered wireless space so this is excellentChecked the "guest network" function on the router - works wellSetup using the phone was easy, but needs some technical know how, if you don't have it there are YouTube videos of people who have done itOverall excellent, value for money, future-proof router so far

Llevo utilizando este router desde hace más de una semana y estoy en condiciones de escribir una opinión seria sobre el producto.En primer lugar comentaros que mi intención era sustituir el router Comtrend de mi operador de telefonía y poder disponer del ancho de banda realmente contratado, así como aumentar la cobertura del aparato.Tras buscar en varios foros de internet, he podido instalar la configuración triple Vlan que requiere mi operador de telefonía si problemas, aumentando tanto la cobertura de alcance wifi como la velocidad de descarga. Vivo en un edificio de unos 100 m2 y el wifi llega ahora a lugares donde antes no tenía acceso y con unas velocidades que alcanzan fácilmente los 100 Mb/s contratados a la operadora, cuando antes o no tenía cobertura o no llegaba a los 20 Mb/s.Además, el router ocupa menos que el anterior y dispone de muchísimas opciones de configuración, tanto local como remota, VPN, etc.En definitiva, un router excelente para un piso de unos 100 m2 y compatible con los operadores de telefonía españoles. Muy contento con la compra,

Die Begeisterung der schnellen Zustellung durch den Prime-Versand von Amazon legte sich sehr schnell, als ich den Router in Betrieb nehmen wollte. Anfangs war ich auch hier positiv überrascht, wie einfach und strukturiert die Ersteinrichtung via Handy verlief. Auch die Meldung, Firmware-Update verfügbar, jetzt durchführen? (sinngemäss) fand ich praktisch, somit wäre der Router auf dem aktuellen Stand. Leider war das ein Trugschluss, der Router stellte nur noch Grundfunktionen zur Verfügung, die Sparchauswahl war nicht mehr möglich. Das Reseten und Neuinstallieren, welches der TP-Link Support empfahl half nicht weiter. Funktionen wie Zeiteinstellung, Sparachauswahl und sehr störend, System-Log konnten nicht genutzt werden. Ich habe dann mit viel Zeiteinsatz einen detailierten Fehler-Rapport erstellt und an TP-Link gesendet. Die Antwort hiess: Führen sie, bis wir eine Lösung gefunden haben, einen Downgrade durch, was eine verminderte Sicherheit und Einschränkung von weiteren, kaufentscheidenden Funktionen bedeutet hätte. Als nach 11 Tagen noch immer keine Lösung von TP-Link erhalten hatte, auf erneute Anfrage bat man mich um Geduld, habe ich das Gerät zurück gesendet. Der lapidare Kommentar des TP-Link-Supports:" ... vielen Dank für Ihre Rückmeldung.Ich bedauere Ihre Entscheidung, auf das TP-Link Gerät zu verzichten.Falls Sie in der Zukunft wieder ein Produkt von uns benutzen möchten, stehen wir Ihnen gerne für Beratung und Unterstützung zur Verfügung.Ich wünsche Ihnen einen angenehmen Tag!"hat mich sehr enttäuscht; eine Lösung habe ich bis heute nicht erhalten!

Este router es mucho más completo que el AX10, tiene mayor velocidad y un antivirus, escribo todo sencillo para que se pueda entender por todos.Pero cosas malas, en cuanto a seguridad no tiene el nuevo protocolo wpa3 lo que no entiendo es como siendo un router tan completo como este no lo tenga y el ax10 que es mucho más sencillo si, por otro lado no actualizará o por lo menos han dicho que no lo hará para crear redes mesh que es algo que se busca mucho en estos router para poder crear redes one mesh en casa, el ax10 si lo hará. No entiendo como venden este router más caro si el más barato tiene más funciones. No lo recomiendo, no te gastes el dinero en este producto.

Bought the Deco 20 (2 Units).For a semi with loft extension and rear extension. 2 units. I have Virgin 100MB which I have had years of poor internet over WiFi the speed was erratic and it was so unreliable and dropping out. I even split the WiFi networks 5 & 2.4 so the 2.4 devices might connect better.The Deco 20 units where very easy to set up and there is plenty of info on YouTube to help with setting the Virgin hub into Modem mode and then connecting the Deco’s.The WiFi is transformed and is very reliable signal is great and even when there is not the full signal the speed of the WiFi can still be 30MB.I choose the Deco 20 as it has a wider bandwidth supports up to 150 devices and had the bonus of antivirus protection. I wish I had done this earlier don’t waste your time with powerline adapters WiFi can work and can be reliable by the Deco 20.

Bonjour,Je fais mon retour d'expérience sur cet appareil. Je ne dirais pas qu'il est à déconseiller, mais pour le moment, je n'ai que des déconnexions de WI-FI intempestives.L'appareil est brancher directement sur mon ADSL. J'ai activé les réseaux 2.4/5.0 et le mix des deux, dans tous les cas j'ai des déconnexions du WI-FI, sachant que j'utilise principalement des appareils Apple (IMAC, macbook et Iphone). En un coup je perds tous les réseaux et ce sur tous les appareils.Je dois systématiquement repasser sur mon réseau WI-FI de secours.Si mon NAS upload de grandes données, je suis sur que le réseau tombera pendant toute la période d'upload (constaté dès 1,2 Mo/s), alors que mon NAS est connecté en filaire (c'est le seul appareil dans ce cas). Quand le travail dure des heures, c'est galère. Je ne sais pas (ou je n'ai pas encore trouvé) la manière de brider les bandes passantes des appareils connectés pour éviter qu'il ne plante.J'éditerais mon post si nécessaire, mais après plus d'un mois d'utilisation je n'en suis pas satisfait, j'hésitais entre un autre modèle, j'ai fait le mauvais choix.
