TP-Link Deco X50-5G AX3000Mbps Whole Home Wi-Fi 6 5G Router With Sim Slot, 5G/4G+Cat 6 Mesh WiFi Router, 2.5G Port For Ultra-Fast Speed, 230 m2 Seamless Coverage, Works with Alexa, HomeShield

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.

I moved into a new house and needed an internet connection quickly, so bought this hoping it would be good enough until I got a 'proper' connection sorted out. I signed up to a monthly contract giving unlimited data on a 5G SIM from Lebara and had everything up and running in minutes (and I'm no tech expert!) Much to my surprise it's working so well that I don't feel the need to do anything to improve my internet. I'm consistently getting download speeds of 150+Mbps and upload speeds of 40+Mbps. Various TV's, computers, a printer and a doorbell are all connected and after 3 weeks it's proving to be 100% reliable. Obviously it needs a decent 5g signal, which I have, in the suburbs of Nottingham.

An internet changing experience. I was a copper line user before this with EE getting 31mbps download and 4 upload. The service was steady but not very dynamic and for what I got expensive. I changed to Talk talk and unsure what happened but the whole service went OFF. Now having a web shop I had to find an alternative and quickly..I had thought about a 4g service before..now as a stand in I had no choice. I ordered the TP link DECO 5G and it arrived same day via Amazon. Inserted a sim card I have in my van from Vodaphone ..I live in a poor mobile service area regardless of what provider but Vodaphone and 02 are probably the worst signal so I wasn't expecting miracles. Pleasantly surprised as the download speed saw 25 to 40 mbps... I thought maybe I'm onto something here so ordered again from Amazon a multi sim..the type that uses any provider so I could switch and see who is best...this service is available with the app..you just select a provider and lock it in The router itself is and excellent well made and even aesthetically pleasing piece of kit and its app is simplicity itself to use. So inserting the new multi sim I looked about and set it for each provider in turn EE,o2 Voda and lastly Three . To my surprise we ain't in a 5g area..but upstairs I just got a wiff of 5g signal..at 110mbps..I got more than excited!!!. So to improve on this I further ordered an external antenna the Nelawya 4G LTE 5G Panel Antenna Outdoor Mimo Directional Antenna to be exact. I installed this the same day it arrived...and BINGO...260 mbps download and 20 upload. Couldn't have been any happier..gone is the old dinosaur service from EE/Talk Talk..I now have an internet fit for the 21st century ...and gaming on my Quest 3 is just another experience the wifi link speed is a lot faster than my ASUS gaming router too.. As mentioned the router is a nice piece of kit,well made and with an excellent app . I have been using it now for 4 weeks and its been extremely stable and almost self maintaining the app shows you all sorts of data from signal strength to how much data you have used per day/month or total ...I have noticed with routers they kind of settle in and steadily speed have settled at a higher average than my first use...at times I can get a peek of over 400 mbps but likewise if the service is being hammerd like when the kids come out of school it can drop to 190..still far more than copper though . So to me this device is now my favorite gadget of 2025 and rightly it earned that title. In house coverage is good..I live in a 5 bedroom house and there isn't anywhere I cant get a signal..it slows down as you get further away obviously but even outside with 2 walls between us and 20 meters from it I get 80 mbps ...so for me range is excellent . Coupled with the exterior antenna its a brilliant set up and buying my Three sim with unlimited data and paying for 2 years in advance it cost me only £8.50 a month. I wont be going back to the copper line ever again...why would you. If you live in a good 5g area then this device would work out the box..its own antennas are very capable..and you can improve on them with simple rabbits ears anyway I only added my exterior malarkey to reach out a little further to drink from that 5g pool as covergae by me is poor. Thoroughly recommended peice of technology that you dont need a degree in IT to set up . See attached pics for before and after..you just have to love it

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

This Deco X50-5G single unit has been a game-changer for my home Wi-Fi. I was experiencing frustrating dead zones and slow speeds, especially on the second floor. After adding this unit to my existing Deco mesh system, the difference is night and day. The design is very sleek, but very strong material quality. * Strong Signal: Coverage is now incredibly consistent throughout my entire house, even in the furthest corners. * Fast Speeds: I'm consistently getting the speeds I pay for, even on devices further away from the main router. * Easy Setup: Setting up this unit was a breeze. The Deco app guided me through the process step-by-step, and it only took a few minutes. * Reliable Connection: I haven't experienced any drops or disconnections since installing this unit. Highly recommend this for anyone looking to improve their home Wi-Fi coverage and speed.

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.

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
