TP-LinkDeco AX7800 Tri-Band Mesh WiFi 6 System (Deco X95) - Whole Home Coverage up to 6100 Sq.Ft with AI-Driven Smart Antennas, Multi-Gig Ethernet, Replaces Wireless Router and Extender (2-Pack)

Got the Deco X95 (AX7800) to replace an Amplifi Alien mesh setup that had started frequently rebooting.So far, Im really happy. Im not a home networking expert, but Im also not a novice - somewhere inbetween. Ive set up many of these in the past (from Orbi to Eero and Amplifi), and use some of the customization features.Setup was simple. Took me less than 5 minutes to have the entire mesh network set up. Every device connected (except one, Sonos), and I have about 60 devices in the house including all the IoT stuff. The app was easy to use and pointed me in the right direction, step by step. After a full week, I have had zero devices drop or have connection issue in a 4k sqft house. Stability is probably the #1 requirement for me, both my wife and I work from home.As mentioned, Sonos didnt work within the 1st hour I had set up the Deco. Sonos is notoriously bad with mesh networks, which is unfortunate because I love their products otherwise. I fiddled with some security settings (set it to WPA2/WPA3), rebooted my sonos devices...and decided to work on it the next day. Im not sure if it was the security setting or the reboot - but miraculously the next day all of my sonos devices appeared on the network map and were working (I have 8 of them). So, I know it can be frustrating, but I at least wanted to share one experience of sonos working with Deco, since I saw a few comments about it in other reviews.Edit 2/15/23: Just wanted to share that this has been 100% rock solid and stable for a month now. Very happy with performance, range, stability. Even though the unit is not as fancy as my Amplifi Alien, it was an upgrade in performance and range which matters more than the cool on screen display the Alien had.

I needed a Deco as a router in the basement with more power and stronger antennas to reach three X55 access points on the 2nd and 3rd floors via wireless backhaul. The X55s are WiFi 6, so I don’t need WiFi 6e or WiFi 7. This Deco X95 does the job perfectly, and at a good price point.It is oddly shaped and quite tall compared to my Deco X55s and previous Google WiFi and Nest units, but that’s not a problem now that I have very strong and consistent connections and over 400 up and 100 down at the most remote location in my house from 500/100 internet service. I connected the 2.5 Gbps port to the same on my Arris S34 cable modem and everything is working as well or better than expected.

UPDATE: 6/28/24: (1 star)I'm officially giving this product a 1 star. It stopped working and I contacted technical support. Got boiler plate troubleshooting tips. I did all and still having issues. Was told to do a replacement online. I did that process almost a week ago and have not heard back from TPLINK customer support even though it clearly states "they'll get back with you within 2 business days". Contacted customer support again and was told I'd get an email and I need to respond to it to get a replacement process started. Never got an email. Now trying to contact TPLINK again.UPDATE: 6/17/2024 (3 stars)3 months after setting up this Wifi mesh network, I'm running into terrible internet connectivity issues. The routers show they are green and I can connect to the wifi perfectly, but I get no internet service. This started occasionally and now are constantly happening. I've called my ISP who said they show no issues on their end and now I'm in talks with TP-LINK. I've sent over pictures to customer service showing the issue. I don't know how this product can suddenly just stop working after 3 months. My old routers are still kicking and it's been 5 years. There's definitely some quality control issues happening. Hopefully, they can send me a new pair because it's definitely still under warranty. The hassle though to call, go through hours of troubleshooting, and to hopefully get a replacement is not what I signed up for.-------March 30, 2024 Review (5 stars)I changed over from Xfinity to fiber and wanted a new wifi mesh solution that could keep up with the gigabit up/down streams. I was really wary about this product because amongst the high reviews were a plethora of bad reviews. However, when I received the product, I was pleasantly surprised how easy it was to setup and get online.Step 1: download app.Step 2: plug ethernet cable into AX7800 and power onStep 3: detect and setup AX7800Step 4: once set up, go place the other router in the area you wantStep 5: plug in router, turn on and let app detect.That was it. The results are super impressive. The internet speeds in the house went from an avg of 200mbp/s to over 500mbp/s with this network.House size is 3700 sqft and two stories. Router is in the middle entertainment area surrounded by an enclave and a large tv. Second router is on the stair landing about 15 ft away behind a thick wooden wall. Tested signal was in the master bedroom 40 ft away on the second floor.I'm super impressed and very happy with the product.
