TP-Link Deco XE75 Wi-Fi 6E tri-band mesh system (AXE5400) is shockingly affordable
Wi-Fi 6E is the latest and greatest wireless networking standard. It is special because it uses the less-crowded 6GHz band for a reduction in interference. If you already utilizing regular Wi-Fi 6, the upgrade to Wi-Fi 6E probably isn't worth it. If you are still on 802.11ac or earlier, however, Wi-Fi 6E is absolutely worth your attention.
Today, TP-Link launches a new product that combines Wi-Fi 6E with mesh networking. Called Deco XE75 (AXE5400), it comes with two access points that each utilize tri-band connectivity. Best of all, despite being fairly bleeding-edge, it is surprisingly affordable.
"With Deco XE75, TP-Link introduces a major upgrade to WiFi home mesh solutions, bringing the ultra-fast, low latency 6GHz band performance to life. Supporting 1024-QAM and HE160, the Tri-Band Wi-Fi boosts its overall speed up to an incredible 5400 Mbps, allowing users to connect to over 200 devices. The 2-pack covers up to 5,500 sq. ft., offering seamless smart WiFi to every corner of the users’ home," says TP-Link.
The company adds, "Powered by HomeShield, Deco XE75 provides comprehensive network protection, robust parental controls and real-time IoT security all in one place. Whether performing real-time IoT protection, detecting cyber threats to retain privacy and keep connected devices well protected, blocking inappropriate content to maintain healthy online habits, or prioritizing bandwidth needs to get a faster networking experience, HomeShield provides users with the tools needed to fully manage their network."
