The compact TP-Link Deco X50-PoE is much smaller than other members of the X50 family and, indeed, other Deco products that I have reviewed in the past. Spin the X50 units around and, at the rear of each one, you’ll find a stack of three gigabit Ethernet ports and a power socket. Gigabit port, Deco X50-5G provides reliable, warp-speed connections for high-intensive wired devices. Use of WiFi 6 and other features including OFDMA, MU-MIMO, 1024-QAM, HE160 and BSS Color require clients to also support the corresponding features. When it’s set as a wireless router, both Ethernet ports support being used as backup broadband access points.Conversely, if you’re satisfied with this class of performance, you can get it much more cheaply from something like the Netgear Orbi RBK352. Universal Compatibility –Backward compatible with all WiFi generations and works with any internet service provider (ISP) and modem. TP-Link’s meshes all use the same software for installation and management, so if you’ve used a Deco system in the past you’ll know what to expect. If you’re more concerned with keeping the cost down, Netgear’s Orbi RBK352 offers a similar specification to the Deco X50.
