TP-Link - Deco AX5400 Wi-Fi 6 Indoor/Outdoor Whole Home Mesh System 4-Pack (Deco XM73) - White

I got this on sale to replace my Google Wi-Fi mesh system. 4 units were able to cover same area that took 6 of the Google units. Also, I got ipv6 working for all my home devices, including unique public ips, which is great for my automation server. The only thing I miss is no built in speed tests(to main router and between nodes) like the Google had. Overall I would recommend it.

I recently upgraded to the TP-Link Deco AX5400 Wi-Fi 6 Indoor/Outdoor Whole Home Mesh System 4-Pack (Deco XM73), and I couldn’t be happier with my decision. Setting up the Deco AX5400 was a breeze. The Deco app made the process incredibly simple, providing clear instructions and visual guides. I was able to get all four units set up in less than 20 minutes, and the app immediately recognized all the devices in my home. I didn't have to mess around with any complicated settings, which was a huge plus. The coverage is phenomenal. My house is about 2,900 square feet with two stories, and I’ve always had dead spots in the first floor and the far corners of the backyard. With the Deco XM73, those issues are completely gone. I now have fast, reliable Wi-Fi in every room, even outside on the patio. The speeds are impressive, and I haven’t noticed any slowdown, even with multiple devices streaming, gaming, and working from home simultaneously. I love the clean, modern design of the Deco units. They’re small enough to place almost anywhere without being an eyesore. The outdoor unit is rugged and weatherproof, and it’s great to have reliable Wi-Fi coverage outside, especially for backyard gatherings or working on the porch. The Deco app is one of the best I’ve used for a networking product. It’s user-friendly and provides a lot of control over the network. I can easily see which devices are connected, manage bandwidth, and set up parental controls. I also appreciate the ability to schedule Wi-Fi access for different devices, which is great for managing screen time for the kids. After installing this mesh system, I’ve experienced zero dropouts or connectivity issues. The system automatically switches devices between units as needed, maintaining a strong, stable connection throughout my home. The performance boost from Wi-Fi 6 is noticeable, with faster speeds and better handling of multiple devices compared to my old router. I can confidently say it’s worth every penny. The four-pack is perfect for covering a large area, and the performance and features justify the cost. It's a long-term investment that has significantly improved my internet experience at home. If you're looking for a reliable, high-performance mesh system that offers excellent coverage both indoors and outdoors, the TP-Link Deco AX5400 (Deco XM73) is a fantastic choice. It’s user-friendly, powerful, and perfect for anyone needing strong, consistent Wi-Fi throughout a large home or property. Highly recommended!

This is the best mesh network I have used. My prior two were an Orbi and Google mesh networks. I had so many issues with both of those that it somewhat put me off mesh networks. The orbi had poor performance and the google mesh had super slow speeds to the point it was unusable. The TP-Link mesh network is perfect for a normal not overly technical person. The setup was a breeze, just follow the instructions. Connecting the additional mesh devices was just plug in and they connected to the network without issue. So now I have coverage all through my house and now in my back yard with the outdoor unit. The speeds are very good and stay consistent anywhere in the house. The main reason this device is so good is due to the app. The app is well thought out and super easy to use. You can turn on or off the guest Wi-Fi and also setup a IoT network. This IoT network is very handy when you have tons of devices such as cameras, alarms, etc that do not need to be on the main network. This helps keep track of devices that should and shouldn't be on the network. There are so many features that you can use in the app. You can add a VPN client and server, isolate devices so they can only get to the internet and not tap into other devices on your network, and enable their security plus. You can also prioritize devices, so they do not experience slowdowns when the network is busy. There are some options and was to customize to make the network work for you The outdoor device seems well made and should handle the elements well. I decided to install mine under a covered patio. I didn't like the idea of letting it sit out in the Midwest elements (even though it should withstand them) when I have a covered porch that the device could be installed on. When setting up the outdoor unit be careful of the silicone ring when plugging the device in. This silicon ring if not set in place correctly could allow water to access the unit. I'm super happy with this mesh network as it just works, and it works very well. With our prior mesh network, we would experience slowdowns or even no service at times. We have fiber internet with 1gig download and upload, the slowdowns where due to the Wi-Fi just not working, but we no longer experience those issues.
