Thanks for the video. I'm confused about something related to this item. I'm getting kind of conflicting info as to whether or not it's compatible with Apple Homekit app. Can you verify?
I can not get much help from TP Link,I installed this Deco AX3000 "X55" aprox. 3 months ago in my 2000 Sq. foot home,single story,I have 8 devices hooked up to this WiFi mesh router,here is my problem,my wife and I can be sitting next to each other on our Chromebooks,all of a sudden she will lose internet connection,I do not lose connection,or sometimes I will lose internet connection and she does not lose connection,The Deco lights are always green even when this happens,I have Directv and when I connect it to the internet it does not stay connected,it will periodically lose internet connection just like our chromebooks,I have a Roku TV same thing,The Deco is up to date,when I run a diagnostic from the Deco app it says everything is working properly,any suggestions B4 I throw these Decos in the trash ?? Thank you
Hi, I just bought these decos literally today. I have a similar home at the one you describe, I have had those problems you mentioned before, verify if you are conected to the 2.4 or 5 wifi. I suggest you use the 5 one in all the devices that support it, also did you deactivate the WIFI signal on your main router the one provided be the ISP, if not that could be doing some trafic and creating the crashes. Hope that works, it can also be related to the DHCP server, maybe there is a confict of IP adress somewhere. If that is the case I suggest you to forget the networks on the computer , clean the routers DHCP and conect them again, that can also help. Good luck
Obviously, I don't know your setup, but it sounds like you might have 2 DHCP servers operating and clashing with each other over which devices have which IP addresses. Are you using a router as well as the mesh network. If so, make sure none of the deco devices are set up as a router - make sure they are all set as access points. If you are using a deco as the router is it possible you have a DHCP server running on a PC system somewhere? Then there is the issue of the number of devices. TP LINK suggests a maximum of 6 operating on the network - although it is possible to run more. The DECO WiFi signals between 8 devices could be severely constrained by trying to interact between devices with vastly different potential speeds (because of WiFi interference). Assuming you haven't already given up, try turning off 6 devices - leaving the central router and perhaps one remote device. You could try bringing the "remote" device into the same room to eliminate WiFi loss - just while testing. And then checkout how this performs and whether you get the issues you mention. If all is ok, then move the second device to its intended position and test again. Continue doing this around your network - adding mesh devices one at a time and checking how the whole network performs. It is always possible that one or other if the deco units is at fault. Following a sensible add one at a time path usually diagnoses where the problem is. I am not saying this is your case, but all too often people buy networking kit, plug everything in, and then expect it all to work perfectly everywhere. Often you get lucky, and this is the case. But equally often, there is a hitch or failure somewhere. It can be a faulty device or it can be a piece of wall with metal bars in it that acts as a perfect Faraday cage. During my years of supporting various networks I have often found that one side of a wall is a steel cabinet stuffed full of metal tools etc, and then the other side of the wall is a massive bookshelf or other cabinet stuffed full of WiFi absorbing materials. All in direct path between the mesh network devices. And then I get the question from the person I am helping - "why isn't my network working, the router is only the other side of the wall?"
Can all 3 tbe hardwired to a switch? Modem-->AP1->Switch..other 2 hardwired to the switch from their respective areas of the home.
Could you please tell me if the power adapter supports 220v or just 110v? Thanks

Does this allow you to change the channel of each ssid? Like channel 11, 100, etc...?
If I have a combo router/modem would the deco replace that or would I need to put it into bridge mode and plug the deco into it?
it's just for wifi, not a modem.
It's not replacing the modem, put the modem router option off, then deco will be used as router (lan/wifi).

This give you a 5 and 2.4 wifi? I ask for lights that only support 2.4
Hi, you have in setting Alot 2.4 for things like that
2.4 GHz, 5Ghz and 6Ghz (but for the last one you will need compatible device..)
Outdoor usage?
Can I connect this to a router instead of modem?
yes
yup, but if possible connect the router to this one if the other router is unmanaged, deco will manage your network perfectly.
Great Video Thank
When creating a wifi, would we connect all devices to this wifi?
These WiFi’s taste like WiFi
Are these good for gaming ?
Sure, but don't forget, any device for gaming (except mobile) it's always best with wired connection.
