TP-Link Deco X50-5G Mesh WiFi 6, 5G Router with SIM Slot, AX3000 Routers

This is it!! This is the WiFi router to beat all routers. As with anything I buy, I’m always a bit sceptical of reviews. But after reading the reviews on Amazon of this TP Deco, I bit the bullet and bought one. Straight out of the box, this has to be the simplest router to set up. It’s literally plug and play. Simply pop in your chosen nano sim, connect to power, download the Deco app, and before you know it, you’re online. Superfast speeds on both upload and download. I currently have mine located behind my tv near to the window, and it works great. No interference and I can customise the Deco to suit my needs through the app. So far, I have no negative comments to add, as I haven’t found any problems. Excellent value for money all round!

Unfortunately it was not fit for our purposes, or better yet, the ISP coverage was atrocious! However and even without using the external antennas, this little beautifully crafted router was able to get a better signal than the router provided by the ISP. It so happened that signal was still not enough to be reliable. Examining it I was thoroughly impressed with what TP-Link devices have always been consistent in my experience, ease and utter effortless installation, with the app affording an intuitive user interface. I was quite impressed with the level of manual settings tampering it offers. It provided a very strong WiFi 6, in the whole 3 bedroom house. Because WiFi is independent of internet connection. Please don’t be like my partner and sister and many friends of mine who like to wind me up with their inability to make the distinction between WiFi and Internet! Despite the ISP signal being pathetically weak, both WiFi bands expanded nicely having no problem penetrating even the middle structural walls and the small boiler and plumbing room with all its metal gear that would ordinarily be something one would expect to cause dead spots. The security and serious parental controls are subscription only after a 30 day trial, but the protection applied on the router protecting everything that connects to the internet through it is worth it. I use my own setup but the trend is towards getting a subscription based protection anyway, and on that front TP-Link offers a very affordable solution. The power cable is long enough to ensure adequate a distance from potentially interference causing power outlets, and the option to add external antennae, of your choice, which I think includes even the outdoor signal booster types makes this router even more adaptable! Alas being restricted in the rental accommodation punching holes though the wall to test that was beyond the scope of our allowances. Despite having to return it, I am somehow sold to the idea when the ISP get their act together I will be coming back for it, especially seeing how the one that came with the connection felt very much wanting in settings options and overall performance. I am not saying you should, but I will come back to TP-Link having seen how easy it is to use. I can only hope that my having to return it does not make the company doubt for a minuet that it was due to a failing on the product side or that my loyalty to this brand is compromised. I was so looking forward for it to work for me because it would have been great for peace of mind as it was intended for my sister who had not intention of learning how to manage it, but which would have been so easy I am sure of it. Plus it has the standard remote management options which I would be using to ensure her connection was safe and reliable. Oh well, shame really! Oh btw the option to buy in interest free instalments is a really sweet cherry on the top! 🤗

I bought this to replace an aging ZTE MC801A that I'd been using as a 5G router for the past few years. Having fairly recently bought a different TP-Link WiFi router that completely resolved the previous WiFi issues we'd been having, I had high hopes for this with it being another of TP-Link's brands. The setup was incredibly easy, insert the SIM card, plug it in and download the Deco app. From there, the app guides you through and it was up and running within a couple of minutes. I've used this with both a Vodafone and Three SIM and both times it automatically picked up the APN settings and connected quickly. This has been flawless so far, providing fast speeds and good coverage. It's definitely a step up from the ZTE which was needing a restart fairly regularly to reconnect to 5G. My only complaint is that Amazon dropped the price significantly within a couple of weeks of me buying this for the Spring Sale! It's not cheap but it's a very capable bit of kit.

We can't get fibre where we live and broadband through traditional phone cabling isn't an option with todays demand on speeds. I have 4G/5G broadband and wanted a router that I knew the brand was great, I have a Deco mesh system around the house so thought this would compliment the set up. The coverage I get with 3 is great so I know I should be getting a constant uninterrupted connection, however, the router looses connection at least twice a day and reboots. I have tried many different locations around the house and it's in the best spot, upstairs near a window with no obstructions. I don't have a problem with this as it's quick to come back online but some of the deco's in my mesh system don't reconnect for some reason and it's becoming a chore having to manually reboot them. This only started recently so I don't know if it's a software issue that an upgrade can fix but I have noticed the CPU generally runs at 100% most of the time. Given all the above, when it's working it great, just fix the issue TPLink

Bought this in the hope to replace my 12Mb landline internet. No FTTP in my village! I considered the Three option of an outdoor/indoor 5G combo but their website gave me a "computer says no" response. Did my research, best 5G coverage in my area is Vodafone, rated as excellent indoor and out, so got a cheap Lebara 30 day SIM to try. Activated it in my new Motorola Edge phone which gave a strong 4/5 bar 5G signal (indoors, not by a window) and a consistent 180+ download speed, excellent. Popped the SIM into the 5G router, did the setup, checked the APN settings, barely got 2 bar signal which varied mainly 4/4+ and 5G occasionally no matter which window I put it against. Most of the time the app reported that the signal was too weak, red light constantly coming on, speed tests all very slow. Wi-fi 6 signal to my phone was okay only when on the same floor of the house, floor below the signal massively dropped, current landline router easily covers the whole house. So not impressed, wasted a day tinkering with settings and moving this awkward shaped thing around the house to try and get a stable signal >2 bar. Other dislikes are the crazy short length of the power lead, overly large 12v converter plug, the Deco app arrangement of screens, the round footprint and trailing underside lead meaning awkward to balance on a small window-sill and finally shaped like a kettle with a missing handle and spout was certainly enough to make my blood boil. Maybe I got a dud? A device such as this should be getting a better signal compared to a mobile phone given that it has much bigger internal aerials compared to micro sized ones. Certainly not wasting money on an external aerial when the SIM+phone gave excellent 5G signal indoors, life if too short. Sent back to Amazon.

Had it for 7 months now. The set up was easy, and the router has a so many of feautures - especially for Vpn intgration. Everything can be set from the app and it is so easy. Signal is good, I use 5g sim card (you need to check the 5g signal in your area). I used for work and watching movies and it is generally ok - but of course depends also on the internet provider. So far it got stuck only once (needed a manual reboot)

Bought this one a week ago to try and resolve connectivity issues with the standard one supplied by the provider. What a difference!! Now picks up 5G on mobile in our mediocre signal area; boosting speed by 75 % . Connection to the rest of a fairly complex wifi arrangement is instant and router can be managed from any point in that network. Very pleased indeed and a fraction of the cost of a Nighthawk

The most affordable 5G router with WiFi 6 mesh feature. Very easy and straightforward to setup to use especially linking it up with other deco products for mesh wifi network and can be done in a single app. This product is great for those who have slow broadband speed especially for the price per month. Where I'm currently living, broadband speeds are as only high as about 72mbps and charging somewhere between £25 to £38 depending on ISP and contract duration, as it seems to be a rip off. Currently using O2 and got a very dead for unlimited data for a year contract for £25. Getting speeds as low as about 150mbps (peak times) to as high as sometime about 400mbps deep in the night on 5G network with excellent signal strength and quality. But every location is different where you live, where you place the router (for me, I placed it in the loft) and the network you are currently using. So if your broadband sucks especially for the price, this will be the next best option to try out. Remember to check with your local network store for the best price package discount and if you are not happy with the Internet speed with one you recently applied for, you can return it without charge (within 14 days) and try another network out. It's very good as the router does not lock you into a single network like 3, even if your contract ends. If you move to a different location with fast broadband, you can still use it as a router especially if you have additional purchases other Deco products for with mesh. Also if you are still on mobile contract and on broadband contract. You can use it as a fail over just incase if your main broadband goes down. So in the end, it's a win - win situation

سرعة في التوصيل وحسب ماهو موضح والجهاز جدا ممتاز وسهل الاستخدام عبر تطبيق ديقو ويقبل اي مزود خدمة ليبارا موبايلي stc زين كلها تعمل بسرعات فائقة . تم توصيلة بأنتينا خارجي وسرعات جدا عالية صراحة يستحق خمس نجوم

I was sick of Virgin Media's high price and average service, so I swapped out for this (with Sky Mobile SIM), and I am delighted. It's simple to set up, just as good as broadband for gaming, streaming (heavy use). So I've gone from €70/ month to €15/ month for the same service. And the minor setup query I had (ioT) was answered quickly and efficiently by TP-Link customer service. Highly recommended.

Tempi di spedizione e consegna rispettati. Funziona alla grande, molto soddisfatto. Ottima copertura del segnale su casa a tre piani si riceve ovunque. Soldi ben spesi

Don't buy! Avoid at all cost! The device is unstable, crashing under load, blocking access to certains websites. I'm advanced user of IT equipment and there is no fix
