I like this product for being a entry level version of the XE75 Pro. Maybe in the future TP Link should split there products up in the category of what kind of backhaul feature they are designed for. Like the triband products that are designed for wireless backhaul in mind etc. It will make it much more simple for us consumers to know what kind of mesh to use in the different situations (Wireless / Wired -backhaul and even POE / PowerLine setup etc.). BTW when are you going to review: BE75, BE16000, BE65 Pro/POE, BE25 ?
Just hooked this up this morning, all wired backhaul to an unmanaged switch. I'm getting the same speeds from all devices that I got from my super old google mesh I replaced. Super bummer.
I've enjoyed your videos and ended up with these XE70 Pro APs. You talk a lot about wired and wireless backhaul. What happens if all three are connected to the same ethernet switch?
right now Amazon has XE200 for 430 and XE70 Pro at 300. which one would you recommend? XE70 is brand new and XE200 is almost at 2 years old. looking at the website spec sheet, to me, it looks like XE200 seems like way better product for only 130 dollar more. is there some spec/hardware upgrade on XE70 Pro that the site doesn't show that makes big difference?
Gonna pick this up. I have 1.2gb down, 40 up from xfinity. And I'll have them all wired backhaul. Should I plug my wan ethernet to 2.5gb port? I only run one hardware device on wired, an xbox.
Thanks for the great work and great info. I have a 6 year old Orbi AC3000 with router and 3 satellites and surprisingly has reached the Netgear End of Service no longer getting firmware updates. Thinking of something newer but not as expensive as my Orbi was. Each satellite gives 2500sq ft total of coverage 10,000 sq ft and gets great coverage outside. Can you add satellites to this Deco to increase coverage? Can you choose the channels? Thanks again
No problem! You could add more satellites to the Deco (granted I wouldn't have more than 5 total), I can't remember if you could choose channels or not. You could also get a dedicated outdoor Deco unit: amzn.to/3MXISsC
Have a quick question. I live in a 1400 sq ft home and I would love to get this mesh system. My wife and I plan to move into a bigger home in the coming years and are looking to get a system that we can use in our current home and are future bigger home once we start having a family. We don't see ourselves getting a home bigger than 5,000 sq ft and if I were to get a 2 pack Deco XE70 Pro from Amazon, would I just need to use 1 router for now and then use 2 when we upgrade into a bigger home down the road?
Does TP Link offer an affordable mesh with the backhaul on an extra 5ghz channel. I'm looking for an upgrade to my AX4300 but I don't want backhaul on the 6ghz if possible. For those using 6ghz backhaul in solid wall houses, how far away before you see a drop off?
I can’t think of one right now. The be63 is amazing but costs more. 6GHz for backhaul has decent range though, my wireless backhaul tests are at 35 to 40 ft away with a couple walls in between.
what will that do? Give all wired decos 2.5G speed? i mean you still need a second port for the internet uplink because i dont think the TP link can fix the IP/MAC adres routing correctly with 3 devices connected to the hub and 1 port to the internet modem on the same hub. but give it a try :)
I have a question. So I have been testing out my speeds for this router since I have had it for a couple weeks now. In the app, it shows that I have an option to set the 5 GHz band to a width of 80 or 160 MHz. Which width do you recommend?? I ask because I notice that my fastest speeds I can get with my ISP are in the 80 MHz width than the 160 MHz, even though it says that 160 MHz is recommended for better WiFi-performance. Like I have 1 Gig internet and I can only get like around 400 Mbps being around 5-10 ft away from router with the channel width as 160 MHz but when it’s on 80 MHz channel width, I can get around 700-800 Mbps on average. I do have QoS enabled but set the total bandwidth double of what my internet provider plan is. Should I shut this off?
Go with the faster speed, if that’s 80MHz for you then stick with that. Generally, 160MHz is going to give the better speeds but sometimes depending on your location, it gets congested and the router recommends the 80MHz instead. Even so with me, the 160MHz is the faster of the two choices.
I'm torn between the XE70 Pro and BE63. I have 1000 up/down from ISP. The house is multilevel and 4000 sq. ft with close to 50 connected devices (cameras, ipads, smart tvs, etc) - what would you recommend?
Most if not every router has a firewall. Some off more protection than others but that doesn't mean 100% protection. I stick with the default settings and have some security protection on my machines as well for added protection. I try not to open ports and things of that nature and stick to known sites.

Excellent video. I would like to know if there is any difference with the XE75Pro or is it just a rebranding? Thx.
Thanks. I have the same question...
It's mostly the same but this xe70 Pro has a slightly slower speed rating.
the price and the AXE speed are a little lower but well will you notice?!
The Pro has a 2.5gbps port plus 2 1gig ports. The xe75 only has 1gig ports.

What device are you testing with? If it's an old device, or if your speeds are on the slower side, you will not notice that big of a difference

That can work or you could get something more powerful like the deco be63

In the wireless backhaul test, how far apart are the main and remote routers and are there any obstructions between them?
About 35 to 40 ft away with about 3 walls between.
what about adding 2.5gb hub before deco for back haul to all 3?

@@landpet thank you so much!!
I currently have the S4’s. Upgrade to this? Or xe75 pro? Seems like the S4’s are solid but my speeds as so so.
Up to you, XE75 pro had a tad better wireless backhaul speeds. Both good
do these have built in firewall capability? ie should my upstream fiber router remain in firewall mode? or should i change it to passthru mode?
Most if not every router has a firewall. Some off more protection than others but that doesn't mean 100% protection. I stick with the default settings and have some security protection on my machines as well for added protection. I try not to open ports and things of that nature and stick to known sites.
hello, can i buy 2 pack deco xe70 pro with promo code ? sorry i only need 2 pack, 3 pack to much lol.
You can try the code, I don’t know if it will work or not
What is a good modem I can use for this ?
for the cable modem, I was using the Surfboard SB8200 but you have to double check with your ISP to check which modem is compatible
@@landpet thank you , will this be good for over 2gb of speed ?
