The home internet needs of today are nothing like they were in the past and the demand increases all the time. What used to be a computer and an X-Box at home, is now 30-40 WiFi enabled devices, many that require high speed connections for 4K video streaming, gaming, and much more. You may be asking yourself which kind of home WifI setup you need, and in this video I will answer the question for whether you need a traditional wireless router, or a whole home mesh WiFi setup. The TP-Link Deco XE75 and TP-Linke Archer AXE75 are great products for 6E Wi-Fi at home, or at the office!

@TechOdyssey question, I live in a 2br apartment 1 floor, about 900-1000sq ft of size of the apartment. I stream for my TV and I have been doing some speed test for my internet. I found that I have better download speeds on WiFi than hardwired using my Android TV box. I only have about 6 devices connected to my wifi and I'm also using my ISP router which is not the greatest. My router is located in my living room and my streaming devices are in my bedroom which is roughly about 10-15ft away from the router. Would you recommend the TP link router for the best solution?

We just had fiber put in and they came and installed the modem today. We bought the TP-Link - Archer AXE7800 Tri-Band Wi-Fi 6E Router and set it up. Was super easy and OMG the speeds are so much faster than our old coaxial internet and modem/router setup. We're getting about 250 Mbps down and 250 Mbps up! Thanks for the tip on pointing the antennas. I adjusted them to point towards the areas of the house we typically use WiFi. I checked the signal strength on all three floors- it's 100% on the middle floor with the router and about 90% on the second floor and about 80% in the basement rooms on the 5 GHz channel. On the 2.4 GHZ it's 100% throughout the entire house. I haven't tested the 6G yet.

What about hooking up the TP Mesh w/your current router/modem & how is that done ?

[@ravagingwolverine]

That works fine. You can run the Decos in access point mode with your existing router handling the traffic. But I think you lose features that way. You can leave the Decos in router mode as a sub network as well. Where I am, I disabled the routing and wifi radio on my fiber router and let the Decos do all that, but that's not even necessary, especially if you plan on having everything on the mesh network.

If you're in that phase of construction do yourself a favor and have wired LAN ports out in the rooms. It will make your life immensely better later. As far as wireless, it's hard for me to say not knowing the layout of your house but with 3 stories that's going to be tough. By three floors do you mean a basement and two stories?

Hello, interesting video, but I'm curious what you recommend for purchase for use in the house and of course another building, the garage and the rooms above it, or is it better to get the AX WIFI Router, maybe the AX WIFI Mesh, in which case it's better to buy both and somehow get rid of drilling holes and pulling the cable if that's not possible?

Why do people still use gaming as an excuse for recommending wifi setups? Seriously if you need low latency just buy a long ethernet cable and some cable clips / raceway. WiFi is for watching tv, phone stuff or browsing stuff you don't care if it takes a fifth of a second shorter, not gaming at the level that latency that you need the peformance low latency gives you. Great video though. Perfectly explained

[@Quadrupledubs]

I've got a Orbi mesh setup.. the coverage is significant better than your standard wifi/extender setup. But it's not as spectacular as some make it out to be. But nevertheless it's the way to go IMO as long as you can find a good deal. I recommend getting the older Orbi wifi 5 system on sale for closer to $100 as best value if you don't wanna break the bank.

[@OutlawNix]

There is one huge upside to using a Mesh WiFi setup over the normal style of WiFi Router we all know about. Let's say you own a TP-Link Deco Mesh system that comes with 3 devices. Now let's say the main Deco device that had the broadband modem connected to ended up dying therefore you lost internet access. You can simple move one of the other Deco devices to where the broadband modem is located and get it back up running. If have a normal style of WiFi Router if that thing quits working for some reason you can SOL until you get it replaced.

Could I get a two-mesh system with one placed nearer the office and another further away? Would the one further away relay to the closer one which in turn relay to the router?

Did I understand you to say you had both the axe and the Deco operating at the same time? how does that work? Can I leave my existing Router and add the mesh?

[@Hupihovi]

Doesn't work that way. The one with the router is called OneMesh that only works with other routers and Wifi Extenders, so in that case you probably wouldn't need as "powerful" router as Archer AXE75, because it would be adviced to turn that Wifi off entirely if you want a Mesh that is supposed to work like a Mesh does. You can however plug in Deco devices to this router and play with the OneMesh and then get multiple Deco Mesh devices to each dead spot of your house, e.g. floor 1, 2, 3 and garage and they work. This is a shame in my opinion, since I really thought that Archer AXE75 would be in the same Mesh with Deco devices, but nope. This was a poor choice from TP-Link in my opinion.

Is it better to get the deco mesh, or buy two of the same router and mesh them together? or they both the same?

[@TechOdyssey]

Basically the same. Get whichever is cheaper

[@wolfherox6364]

@@TechOdyssey Thanks for clarifying. Also, if my main router is AC1200 with one gigabit port, do i have to change the router or just plug the mesh to the gigabit port and have all the devices connect to the mesh?

How well does it work, Att fiber optic modem

[@TechOdyssey]

Works great with cable, fiber, etc…

Hi, I wanted to build a setup like this with my existing AX73 and 2x deco M4. For now my AX73 is at G floor and my RE705 is at middle of 2nd floor. The AX73 and RE705 is using a Onemesh setup. The 3rd floor seems not getting optimum connection as sometimes my iPad M1 experience in Wi-Fi drop. For your setup, do you have a different SID for AXE75 and Deco XE75?

wire Mesh vs wireless Mesh for 3 Storey house currently i am using Nanostation m2 and powerline m5 as soho router with wire they suport 100 mbps and 150 mbps and our ISp are providing over than their capacity like 200+mbps

[@T18skyguy]

Stupid question, but can one of the mesh units act as the primary router or are they just for the mesh?

[@TechOdyssey]

The main one can.

Please help. I am using Tp link Deco M4 for the past 2 years. It suddenly stopped working. The main deco which is kept downstairs is working but the other 2 Decos on the top floor are not giving internet. The deco app shows no error. But the internet keeps on disconnecting every 5 to 10 seconds or it just stops. The wifi signal is there but no data on the top floor Decos. I have not changed the positions of the Decos. Have done nothing new. Why would this happen, what should i do ?

[@HP_Quinn]

I'm having the same issue with my M4 Decos after upgrading our router to the AXE75

Avoid net gear routers. They all suck for concrete houses

i have a main tplink archer router, i bought a the deco s4 3pack thinking it would be like extenders - now the main deco is taking over as the main router and my speeds have dropped tremendously- any advice ?

[@OutlawNix]

To be honest if you are using a TP-Link Deco system you should not need a standard router. Just place the Deco's evenly throughout the house as you can and you should be golden. At that point each device will use the Deco that offers the best WiFi signal. Myself I have the TP-Link W4500 Mesh system that comes with 3 devices. One of them is at one end of the home with the broadband modem which is where my desktop is located which is wired to that Deco. The other two Deco's are placed evenly throughout the house as I could and my WiFi signal's are great so is the speeds. Got quite a few smart devices like light bulbs plus other things and they tend to connect to the closest Deco.

If i want to install Deco Mesh should i connect it to my router or can i just put it on 2nd floor then connect them through wifi connection? i need some help hahaha

[@TechOdyssey]

It has to be connected to a lan cable with Internet

[@Z0FFY512]

@@TechOdyssey So you connect your mesh with lan cable to the router then connect the other mesh with wifi connection later on? is that correct?

[@TechOdyssey]

@@Z0FFY512 correct. The main unit connects to the internet and sends it to the other ones.

[@Z0FFY512]

@@TechOdyssey Alright thanks man, so excited to setup my mesh

[@teddyal8770]

Can you install a Nord Vpn to the TPLINK router?

I am struggling to get 70mbps on my Sky ISP, Meant to be superfast as well I think, lol, So I got the TP-Link AX3000 AX55 Router, For the VR, I am a Sim Racer who races online in AMS 2, But when there is a bust track of cars, Then I am getting stuttering going on, Making my gaming crap, I have issues with Virtual Desktop wireless, And I am paying for a Sky WiFi booster too, lol, I rang Sky earlier to be told I have to wait for an engineer to get a Router I bought working, lol, It is nuts, Why can't I just plug the Router in and it work like the Sky router does, I got the Router tether working on my phone so the Router is configured but it is not letting the ISP connection go through to the Router, I can't even fix it on the Sky help thing or self fix part, I tried by no luck, I am gutted coz the Sim Racing helps with Anxiety I suffer from, But when the Sim racing isn't very smooth and it stutters it makes me look like a terrible driver when I am not, lol, 6.06 in the MP4 McLaren on the Nordsliefe in AMS 2 ain't too shabby, Just the online experience isn't up to scratch, Why Sky is still using old tech in the routers is being me, WiFi 7 is coming soon, And Sky still rolls out 5ghrtz, Not even WiFi 6, They would charge extra for that lol, Sky does an upgrade on the Routers but you needs certain package, I cannot get, lol, So this Router is my only option, lol, What would be the problem where the ISP light isn't coming on, Or internet isn't coming into the Router when everything is set up how I think it should be, lol..... Is there any vids of people fixing connection issues why Sky as the ISP provider, Who uses Open Reach, That is fixing the issue of no internet coming into the Router,. I have internet but not with the AX3000 AX55 Archer Router, lol, Can anyone help me fix my connection problems, Or have I got to wait for an Engineer to sort it out....
