"My Portal now connects and works amazing. Fast connection, zero lag."
"Actually better than a range extender, as Mesh systems are designed from the ground up to work with each other in the system. ... But it's half ass "patched up" jerky jerky mesh was no match to a Deco. Deco was snappier, more reliable, and longer range."
"I moved to a TP link Deco system and have been incredibly impressed particularly with maintaining my internets full gigabit speeds between nodes."

"It's faultless, with great software. ... It also covers the garden, garage, and driveway. ... It never drops out and works really well for me."

"I myself have a deco and we have four modules through a long rambly ranch house and we have nearly 300 MB per second everywhere because we have about 1 GB per second fiber to the house."

"tplink just works ... I follow up with my customers each month and they say everything is much better and working great. I only hardwire nodes, never wireless, and I buy the wifi6e versions- I’m not saying tplink is better than Unifi, just saying a hardwired network and wifi where you need it is the recipe."
"I noticed a BIG improvement once i conected all my decos via ethernet. ... I hate cables but it was a game changer, i use smart products from different brands and now i don't have any issues with disconections!! ... Some meross plugs disconected all the time before wiring my decos, now they work flawless!"
"Having the second router also allows me to actually connect the host to ethernet, as that is not possible otherwise."

"I have a deco, nothing but trouble. Read the tp link subreddit about dropped connections."
"switched to tplink deco's and after 1 year, there was latency and packet drops all over the place."
"I had a lot of issues walking around the house and the switching between nodes taking a long time or unable to get a full Internet access once reconnected."

"It's not great / weaker then the tp link deco meshing setup i was using before. Lower connection speed and more frequent disconnects."

"The tplink’s I bought say they support mesh but once setup as a mesh they lose features. ... So the mesh isn’t worth using. ... The mesh setup is a half baked. You can’t use all the wifi features when setup as a mesh."

flopflip21 1.0I have 3x x60 a5400 and I’m pretty happy so far.
4myWWW 0.5I've had great service from my TP Link Deco X60 pair. They are connected via ethernet backhaul. Everything is stable and responsive.
AdhamRasulov 0.5Deco x60 deco x90 or newer ones, 1 living room + 3 or 4 on bedrooms
Bananakke 0.5I think the topo of making Deco in router mode will be better: ISP modem (bridge mode) -> Main X60 (Router mode) -> unmanaged switch -> Slave 1 X60 (AP mode) -> Slave 2 X60 (AP mode) If your budget kinda tight or afraid of 3 nodes cannot cover all of your house, reduce 1 node to a lower model and get a cheaper nodes. Based on the floor plan: 1.Ground floor: The main X60 can stay inside workstation area. 2.1st floor: Slave 1 X60 staying at the nearest C1 underneath your X mark 3.2nd floor: Situational based on usage of children or master bedroom Just in case if the director cabin not having good wifi coverage from both Main X60 and slave 1, you can get a cheapy node compatible with tplink mesh and putting it in this room (Wireless will be fine, no need to cable up)
Barnabas2109 0.5I've been running a TP-Link Deco X60 setup both in my current and previous 2 story apartments. I am also using it as a PPPoE modem to connect to my ISP. In my previous one I had 2 units on the living floor and another one on the rooftop. I had used only its wifi capabilities as a backbone and it was pretty decent, not super-fast but good enough. In my current apartment I have an Ethernet cable running across the rooms so the entire backbone is LAN based and the performance is amazing across the board. From a management system I'm using both the obvious (parental controls) and some advanced capabilities such as Dynamic DNS, port forward and custom DNS server and everything works without a hitch. As I purchased this system 3-4 years ago I cannot comment on the price however I do remember it was reasonably priced back then, and I am pretty sure TP-Link has made some improvement since.
cas_dota 0.5It provided Wifi 6 for cheap but I couldn't get mine to work optimally. 5G was inconsistent and had an unusually short range (could barely reach outside my tiny room). I did a wired backhaul but when I tested it with wireless backhaul it was a miserable experience. Had to decommission mine after a couple of weeks and ended up buying a Deco X60.
CautiousInternal3320 0.5Do you intend having wifi or wired backhaul? If wifi backhaul, I would certainly recommend the X60 rather than the X10.
With wireless backhaul, the wifi capacity of the Deco is much more sollicited: wifi is used to communicate between Deco and devices, and also used to communicate betwen Deco, usually across obstacles. Hence, taking into account the usage (gamers, ...), the size of the house, and the speed of the Internet connection, I expect X60 to offer a better service if using wireless backhaul. With wired backhaul, if there are no major obstacles between Deco and the devices, X60 would probably not bring significant benefits.
The main Deco must be wired to its source of Internet. I would return the Archer, indeed, and build a mesh only with deco units.
3 Deco meshes in the family, purchased in 2020, 2024 and 2025, all working perfectly.
Darondo 0.5Deco X60 has been rock solid for a couple years now. 3 nodes for 2600 sqft colonial but 2 would have been sufficient.
DevilsAdvocate1662 0.5I have a mix of X60's and XE75's. I'm going to replace the 60's with 75's soon though
Doff2222 0.5Agree on this. I have X60's in a big house, two interconnected by Ethernet. The third is out in the garage exposed to all kind of temperatures, wireless interconnected, servicing cameras and a car charger.
