Wired, correct?

Or are you getting that on wireless?

isn't this a better deal?

https://slickdeals.net/f/16771982-tp-link-deco-x55-pro-2023-version-wi-fi-6-2-2-5gbe-wan-lan-ports-3-pack-191-99-after-coupon

"Upgraded version of X55, this one replaces gigabit ethernet ports (1Gpbs) with two 2.5Gbps ports, great if you have internet speeds above 1Gpbs and plan to use wired backhaul"
That one is only Dual band (and also on backorder). The Costco one is tri-band.

How do you compare performance of this against deco XE75 pro which is also 6E and has 2.5G port.

I bought these a while back. I expected more. I usually end up rebooting them all somewhere between 1-4 weeks just to get the WiFi reliably working again with all my devices. Could be just my situation but I will try a different vendor next time. They are in a suburban colonial and I used them in access point mode (which is supported) but maybe not what most people do.

Their latest firmware allows a guest network and IoT network which is nice. Except the IoT password can't have spaces in it. What? I'm not reprogramming dozens of IoT devices because of some arbitrary restriction from TP-Link.

same experience here. it has blown my mind. the only thing i wish it had was a speed test into the router on the router firmware. outside of that i found the mobile app to be somewhat limited for networking options, however, does the job for what its meant to do — with lightning fast throughput, especially if you use a wired backhaul

I've owned this for half the year. It's wonderful. Zero issues. Got the "main" one plugged in the middle of my house via coaxial and the other two on the other flights, positioned where I could hardwire my consoles.

Firmware updates will take you down for about 3 mins total, for those who are curious.
How to find out which one is 'main' ?

I will answer here as I have been using it for the same amount of time — this is my wireless throughput. 1GB into the home via xfinity — routinely 930-950 Mbps via wireless to iPhone/MacBook regardless of location (2500sf home)

Is this unit from Costco with aXE5300 model probably the same model that you see in Amazon that's Axe5400?
yes, different model number for a costco only version. same tech, different shell. I believe the 5400 has a white top and the 5300 have a black top, nothing else is different outside of the SKU

Keep in mind that tplink switched security systems and it's now a subscription service for the new one!

Went from homecare (free) to homeshield(subscription), be mindful of the models and which had which service.

Having this for about 6 months without any issues on the wireless part. But the Ethernet ports on 2 of them(1 in each) failed now and I am currently doing an RMA.

This is exactly the reason why I returned the units I bought. I used to own Deco M9 units that come with Homecare for free. I upgraded to these units, but my app updated to Homeshield, and it's asking me payment for subscription. I returned them and bought Asus mesh instead
Asus does not require subscription for the same service

I just installed this with my ATT Fiber after having an Orbi mesh system. You will need to have the modem running and connect the TP-link to the router via ethernet. You will need to set up the ATT modem as either IP Passthrough or DMZ Plus mode. Instructions [att.com]. You can leave the TP-Link in router mode. People say to turn off the Wifi broadcast of the ATT modem, but I have left mine on with a different network name and have had no issues when I was running my Orbi. Hint if you've never switched routers, rename the TP-Link as whatever network you're using with the same password. This way you won't have to reconnect all of your devices to the TP-Link. All of your devices will recognize the new router since it's the same name and password.
Did similar with my mesh system and havent noticed any drop. IP Passthrough is probably the easiest way to do it.
