Thanks! It's funny because I've gotten requests for different mesh systems reviews so I've been getting more and more to review. Should be interesting to see where it will go! #1 would be really nice! :)
thanks for the review. i see a lot of reviews on mesh systems that never test the speed of the wireless backhaul so i appreciate your extra effort! we cant have eveything wired! hahah
you all prolly dont care but does someone know of a way to log back into an instagram account? I somehow lost my login password. I appreciate any assistance you can offer me!
@Joziah Isaias I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm trying it out now. Seems to take a while so I will reply here later with my results.
Great Video. You answered my specific question as it relates to connecting the first router to a switch then connecting the second to the same switch. Thanks!
I bought a deco model 6000 from a discounter. My house is long ranch style. Have struggled to get outside eyes cameras to sync with my Comcast modem. Can you temporarily turn off the other bands for setup. I have not set it up yet. I don't have ethernet cabling in the house.. Really would like to figure out how to constantly capture footage to my TV or computer. I would even put a large drive just for video .
Deco M9 is essentially an older version of this. It doesn't support wifi 6, deal wise it's way better than the x90. I don't know if I'm going to get the deco m9 but specs wise for the price it's really good. I'm not a fan of the x90, I returned it, even though it had really good range.
Great video! I love all of your content!! I’m looking to invest in a new network system and need some advice/recommendations. The new home is 3,300 sq ft, two story ( 8 years old) on a slab foundation. Looking for a system that will provide excellent coverage for the home as well as the back yard. In the home there are currently 15-20 devices that will connect to the network. I need to ensure fastest speeds are available for my work computer located on the first floor which can connect wirelessly or via ethernet, and the wireless projector in the media room upstairs. The projector is has ability to plug into an ethernet port but the office with work computer doesn’t have ethernet port currently. Also I would like to have a system that would provide enough range to allow us to use virtual reality headsets in the backyard. Based on some of your reviews Ive been considering going with the Asus XT8. I wanted to get your thoughts on what system you think would work best given my scenario. I know there are always variables etc but any feedback is greatly appreciated!
Thanks! If you want max speeds, the best router I've tried so far is the new ASUS ET8. I've done a video on that one and it's amazing so far: th-cam.com/video/cqcJ6oP6Ky0/w-d-xo.html
Thanks! I forget if this one allows it or not but I answered your other question on the other video. the ASUS XT8 allows it, the eero Pro 6 temporarily allows it, the Orbi is not connected now for me to check. I will say that all these mesh wifi's automatically select the correct frequency, it may not be perfect but I've had no issues with a single SSID.
As long as there is an Ethernet cable making it’s way from one x90 to the other then it’s a wired backhaul. So in my case I have Ethernet cables in the walls and I use those so if you have the same scenario then yes that would work
So,this is not really clear .If you have NBN cable to the premises the modem is part of that system so you basically connect a router to this which most people do ,then they use that to distribute the signal through the house.Now, you buy this to extend your existing system. Does this plug into your existing router ?? .I ask this because most people will buy this as an extension to their existing system.
You can connect this to the router and in the deco app, you can set this to run in access point mode which will extend the current WiFi. It would be better to replace your router with this instead if that’s possible or to put your router in bridge mode which will make this router the main one.
Been watching a lot of your router videos lately. Thanks for all the info. I have a general question for you. When I built my house I had it prewired with Cat 5 (not cat 5e, old school cat 5) because it was what was available at the time. The network is great for feeding laptops and tv's but if I was deciding between wired on cat5 or wireless backhaul..... Can you give me any advice where I should start? I know I could probably try both just to see. But wanted to ask.
It all depends on your internet speeds and what mesh wifi you're planning on getting. If your speeds are 100Mbps then you can just use the cat5 connections since that is the max speeds they support. If your internet speeds are faster, I would go with a tri-band router, something like an eero Pro 6 or Orbi RBK752 and go with wireless backhaul. Asus XT8 is also a good option. If your internet speeds are 100Mbps or slower then I would go with a dual band option like the TP Link Deco X60 and wire them, save some money that way.
I'm in the exact same position. Lots of wired Cat 5 built in 2005. I'm out in the country though, and the fastest internet provider I could find (Rise Broadband) is 25 mbps down/5 mbps up, and that's on a very good day. I usually get 15 and change. I purchased the X90 because of the range... I hope. I have unboxed it, but haven't done the install yet because they kids are using the network for school right now. I have a long home with a walkout basement and I just haven't been able to get the coverage I need. The speed is limited by the ISP, so it's really not an issue. I get jealous when I see posts where people complain, "I only got 720 mbps when I'm supposed to get 1G!!". Oh, I wish I had that problem. That did you end up getting? Are you happy with the results? Thanks,
I'm considering getting a wifi mesh. But I'm still confused on which to go for between Deco x90 vs Asus xt8. I know they're of same specs if not little with no much differences. What's your take and which would you recommend I get?
I like the XT8 more (did a video comparing the X90, XT8, Orbi RBK752 and eero Pro 6: th-cam.com/video/6jEU0wnfpU8/w-d-xo.html) I also just did a review on the new ASUS ET8 and like that even more: th-cam.com/video/cqcJ6oP6Ky0/w-d-xo.html X90 is a good router but it's wireless backhaul speeds weren't that great for something of it's price point. If you're going to do wired backhaul, then this should not be an issue for you. If you want the best budget tri band mesh wifi (which is not perfect but great for the price), check out the Deco X68: th-cam.com/video/-copWVogcvI/w-d-xo.html
@@landpet thank you. I think that clears it. I sure will like to go for the new Asus et8. If I may ask how do you get rid of the devices after your reviews. Do you sell em? because I will be interested to buy.
ET8 is amazing, great choice. It all depends on the mesh, I keep some, give some to family and friends and have returned some as well. I plan on doing a long range review on this one, so this is going on my keep list at least for a few months.
So, I don't know what your 20 port switch is connected to. Is that connected to a modem/router combo? The short answer is no, when you connect your X90 to the internet source, then you have to go from this X90 to the other X90. Now you could have a switch between the X90's. Typically this is how you connect them: Modem > X90 > X90 Or Modem > X90 > switch > all other X90's In your case, you have a switch for the internet source, is that connected to a modem/router combo? If so you may need to run the X90 in access point mode or disable that router portion of the modem/router combo assuming you have access to it.
Yes you can add another X90, in fact you can add any other Deco to this setup. You can add a Deco X60 to two of these X90's if you wanted so as long as it's a Deco but it's probably better if you stick within the same model and keep it a X90.
2 stations are connected in wired backhaul. I’m only going away from one of the stations for it to be a true test of range. The other one is on the other side of my place.
2.4Ghz goes much further on the older routers. Seems like wifi 6 is similar to that now but with 5Ghz+ speeds. How do these do with 2.4Ghz for older electronics? TIA
Unfortunately no, the router can only go as fast as your internet speeds. In your case, 90Mbps max and it will drop speeds the farther away you get with wifi devices.
I know this is an old video but I had a question. Do you remember if you were able to separate the Deco X90's SSIDs? I don't want to use TP-Link's Smart Steering/Smart Wifi feature.
$550? Are they insane? Couple years ago I bought a whole bunch of different mesh router systems and settled on the Google mesh router. It was not good and none of the others were any better. Most of them cost 300 some dollars. I can't imagine paying 550
Hello.I have the X90 but I would like to purchase a third deco to be wirelessly connected. This new device will hook up through ethernet port to a smart speaker (Sonos) but I’m wondering if it is worth to purchase a third X90 considering its price of if I can buy some other Deco that may be fine for the use I have in mind. What other deco would you recommend or if I should stick to a third X90? Thanks
My internet speeds are advertised at 400 down and 20 up but I usually get around 480 down and 24 up on any device. Your iPhone may be capped itself, try it with a new laptop or newer iPad Air or Pro.
Just a question, I've seen the specs of the tri-band of this and it has a maximum speed of 4.8gbps, and I also know that when you connect it via ethernet it will automatically switch it to the wired connection, so how does the system works knowing that the tri band has faster speeds (4.8gbps) than the wire (2.5gbps assuming you've used this port)? Will it still prioritize the wired connection or the other way around?
That 4.8Gbps is more of a theory number than an actual number from what I can tell. This thing uses the third band to talk to each other over wireless backhaul (at least that's how most of the mesh wifi's work, there are exceptions to this rule) but even with that, it got nowhere near those speeds whereas with ethernet, it's almost guaranteed to deliver those speeds cause it's on a wire (no interference from anything else). Wireless has to go through walls and there are other signals in the air and much more so all those numbers are theory. Take the ASUS ET8 which is the fastest mesh wifi I have tested. It supports WiFi 6E (6GHz) and it supports a speed of 4.8Gbps as well on that band. I did a speed test from my Samsung S21 Ultra (does support WiFi 6E) right next to the router and the fastest speeds I got where close to 1.9Gbps. When I used them as wireless backhaul, I got less than that performing the same test. Wired tends to be better.
I recently did a video (not posted yet) comparing the eero Pro 6, Orbi 752, Deco X90 and Asus Zenwifi XT8. That video will be out within the next 2 weeks. 852 is not in it though.
It says: Connect More Devices: Connect up to 200 devices without dragging down performance www.tp-link.com/uk/home-networking/deco/deco-x90/v1%20(2-pack)/ So, I guess 200.
The wireless backhaul would probably depend on line of sight between the two units due to the limited propagation of 5GHz signals, any walls in-between and I would expect degraded performance.
Do you think adding 1 x X60 to 3 x M9 current system is a bad idea? I do because dualband vs. triband. According to tplink X60 should be the main router and the M9 routers are slaves. X90 is only upgrade option for M9 users.
This thing is terrible. It's coverage is not bad but the speed I got is worse than when I'm using the TP-Link AX20 router. Really regretted purchasing it.
@@landpet I don't know why the set I got is quite unstable. After many re-setup, I managed to get average good speeds on the locations that couldn't get before. So, overall, I would say the Deco X90 is still worth it. And it's definitely better than the Deco M4 I was using.
@@landpet I do not deny that et8 is better .... only I would recommend a cable connection between them because wifi 6e is ok over short distances without obstacles. For example, I have a mesh system consisting of two Asus GT AX11000 connected by cable that runs flawlessly. All my respect for what you do for us.
@@landpet Doubt it. XT8 has massive stability issues to this day, Asus is updating the firmware MONTHLY with new beta updates coming sometimes even quicker. This is not a sign of stable firmware, know this cause when AMD's new CPU's came out vendors like Asus, MSI etc were pushing updates weekly, certainly monthly just to fix all the issues they had... Meanwhile Intel platforms only got updates a few times in a year cause their firmware was simply more mature and more stable. Even you yourself reported devices disconnecting from XT8 and you only had it for short while. There are tons of people talking about XT8 stability issues on reviews and various sites like Reddit. I'd take Deco X90 over the XT8 any day of the week. I've never had anything but issues with Asus routers myself as well, horribly buggy firmware.
@@landpet And in regards to ET8, its even worse stability wise as XT8. All you need to look at are Amazon reviews and ET8 in particular get lots of 1 star reviews.
Good stuff. You're quickly becoming the #1 destination for wireless mesh system reviews.
Thanks! It's funny because I've gotten requests for different mesh systems reviews so I've been getting more and more to review. Should be interesting to see where it will go! #1 would be really nice! :)

Great video! What would you recommend as a “main deco” today: a X75 or an X90? I’ve both options, but no WiFi 6E device (yet). Thanks!!
Thanks! XE75 is my choice
@@landpet thanks!!!
2 ethernet ports and no WiFi 6e ate big misses on the top tier premium product. Isn't the XE75 pro a better option for far less money?
Yes, XE75 Pro is a much better option.
i am buying it. thank you for the review, though i have one question. Can i connect both X90 with the ethernet cable to the modem from ISP?
No problem!
No, you're supposed to connect one X90 to the modem. Then the other X90 to the X90 that you connected to the modem.
Does the second router when plugged in (power) without a utp cable function as a wifi extender?
Good review. Can you use separate SSID names with it for the 2.4 and 5 or is it one SSID only?
Thanks! I forget if this one allows it or not but I answered your other question on the other video. the ASUS XT8 allows it, the eero Pro 6 temporarily allows it, the Orbi is not connected now for me to check.

Can I backhaul by connecting the other x90 into the Ethernet ports in the wall?
As long as there is an Ethernet cable making it’s way from one x90 to the other then it’s a wired backhaul. So in my case I have Ethernet cables in the walls and I use those so if you have the same scenario then yes that would work
Great wideo! Just to check if given a choice X90 - $312 vs XT8 - $401, yes! X90 seems cheaper in my place. Which one would you go for?
Depends on your internet speeds and if you're doing wired backhaul or not. That is a good deal for the X90

@@landpet Doubt it. XT8 has massive stability issues to this day, Asus is updating the firmware MONTHLY with new beta updates coming sometimes even quicker. This is not a sign of stable firmware, know this cause when AMD's new CPU's came out vendors like Asus, MSI etc were pushing updates weekly, certainly monthly just to fix all the issues they had... Meanwhile Intel platforms only got updates a few times in a year cause their firmware was simply more mature and more stable. Even you yourself reported devices disconnecting from XT8 and you only had it for short while. There are tons of people talking about XT8 stability issues on reviews and various sites like Reddit. I'd take Deco X90 over the XT8 any day of the week. I've never had anything but issues with Asus routers myself as well, horribly buggy firmware.
@@landpet And in regards to ET8, its even worse stability wise as XT8. All you need to look at are Amazon reviews and ET8 in particular get lots of 1 star reviews.
I got mine for 320 at costco
Costco is awesome
