TP-Link Deco XE75 Wi-Fi 6E Mesh (2-Pack)
Wi-Fi 6E mesh coverage for 5,500 square feet at a price that undercuts the competition. Works with Alexa and Google Home.
$180
What we like
- Wi-Fi 6E tri-band at $180 for two units makes it the best value mesh system in this category
- Deco app includes QoS priority settings so you can prioritize your doorbell and cameras over less critical devices
- Covers 5,500 sq ft with just two nodes, which handles most medium to large homes
- Works with both Alexa and Google Home, so it's not locked to one assistant
What could be better
- Two-pack may not be enough for very large or multi-story homes with thick walls
- No built-in smart home hub like the eero's Zigbee support
- Firmware updates occasionally require manual restarts
Best for
- • Budget-conscious smart home owners who want Wi-Fi 6E without paying $200+
- • Households that use both Alexa and Google Home and want a platform-neutral router
- • Medium-sized homes (under 5,500 sq ft) that need reliable coverage for 20+ devices
Our verdict
The Deco XE75 is the value pick in the Wi-Fi 6E mesh category. TP-Link manages to deliver tri-band performance and 150+ device support at $20 less than the eero Pro 6E 3-pack, though you get two units instead of three. For homes under 5,500 sq ft, two nodes is typically enough. The Deco app's QoS priority feature is genuinely useful for smart home setups because you can tell it to prioritize your security cameras and doorbell over your kid's iPad. Where it falls behind the eero is in the setup experience (slightly more steps) and the lack of a built-in smart home hub.
