Community Reviews
The Deco XE75 is a tri band mesh system that stands out for stable whole home Wi Fi and easy setup, with flexible router or access point modes. It has handled large homes, outdoor cameras, and wired backhaul to a PS5 well, and the mesh can stay solid for years without reboots. The main drawbacks are the phone app centric controls, limited browser settings, and reports of weak long term support and security patching. It also lacks a 2.5 gigabit port, and handoffs or device lists can be unreliable in some setups, making it a practical pick if those limits fit your network.
larger homes that need outdoor coverage for Wi‑Fi cameras because the mesh upgrade improved outdoor camera connectivity and reduced dead spots compared with a single router.
people setting up a mesh for a PS5 upstairs who want to avoid running a long Ethernet cable because using an upstairs Deco with an Ethernet connection to the PS5 roughly doubled throughput versus Wi‑Fi in the reported setup.
households with a moderate number of devices who want stable mesh without frequent maintenance because one user reported stable mesh performance over a couple of years with no reboots.
buyers who will keep the system simple and don't need lots of advanced browser-based configuration because advanced settings were reported as mostly available only in the phone app.
home users with around ~80 clients who just need it to work because one commenter said they currently have 82 clients online and it's working fine.
people who want flexibility between AP and router modes because the system was reported as stable across the house with the ability to switch between AP and router modes.
buyers who have 70+ clients on the network because the system was reported to stop showing clients in the client list at 70+ (despite claims of 200+ devices), and switching to a different Deco model made clients appear again.
people who care about long-term security patching and ongoing updates because commenters criticized TP-Link for poor long-term support and suggested you may not get security patches after about 4-5 years.
buyers who want seamless hand-offs for real-time calling because one user reported Wi‑Fi stutters during FaceTime when devices switch between mesh nodes.
customers who need a 2.5Gbps WAN/LAN port because the system was called out as having no 2.5Gbps port, which matters if you pay for 2.5Gbps internet.
people who rely on a reliable connected-device list and smooth app behavior because the app/interface was described as limited and buggy, with an unreliable connected-device list and issues with Wyze cam reconnecting.
buyers who expect strong stability from the XE75 Pro specifically because one commenter reported intermittent disconnects and unstable speeds even on 2.4 GHz and switched to a different router/AP setup.
buyers who want to trust the brand for security patching because one commenter warned TP-Link shouldn't be trusted as a firewall and claimed it doesn't patch actively exploited bugs even in recently released hardware.
people who want a system that will last 3-5 years without replacing because one commenter said it's only a deal if you plan to replace in 1-2 years due to poor app quality, feature set, and lack of ongoing updates.

The problem with these routers is that there is limited open source firmware support out there. You are not going to get security patches after say 4-5 years of owning them. I know at that point, people either upgrade or don't even realize they are running insecure firmware. I have yet to hear about someone owning an old router whose bank account got wiped out because of it, but it's probably not the best idea to run an outdated router.
Unforutnatley, people think that buying a whole new router or router system is the answer, but the better option is to just buy hardware that is supported by OpenWrt, DD-WRT, Fresh Tomato, etc.
I'm running a near 8 year old Netgear with OpenWrt. My internet is 300Mbps dl/ 30Mbps up, so I'm good for now. But had I not had compatible router, I would have had to throw it away several years ago.
I used one Deco near the PS5 upstairs because I can connect an ethernet cord from the Deco to the PS5. If I go directly from the router to the PS5 with a 75' ethernet cord I get 800Mbps. If I just use the Wifi I would get around 150 Mbps, but if I connect the upstairs Deco to the PS5, I get around 300 Mbps. So if you don't want a cord snaking through your house, the Deco to PS5 works great.
The decos are easy to set up and nice, but they don't seem to handle hand-offs as seamlessly. If you walk around the house on face-time, it'll stutter if it swaps. The Linksys Velop never had this issue. Apparently, it's an enough common issue.
My wyze cams always struggle to reconnect not sure if its the tplink x55 meah router getting bogged down or something else. It also does not show up to date connected device list, its unreliable with that.
