is a very nice product. With a little time and patience the setup went smooth. First thing unplugged power from my incoming fiber modem then unplugged my Netgear Nighthawk R7000 https://amzn.to/3Z60qbc. Still going for $89.00 (held resale value nicely) that we have had for 10 years. I then hooked up two ethernet cables for my 1 of 2 Deco(s) named "Office". With two ethernet ports on the back I inserted one line to the modem and another to a switch - https://amzn.to/3Z4pi32 in my office to power my NAS - https://amzn.to/3Pc3MoL, docking station, and other ethernet supported technologies. Right away after setting up our Deco Login and Password by way of the application down loaded to my phone I plugged in "Office" deco right next to my cable modem on the far end of the house because that is where the entry point of the fiber comes into our home. At first I placed the “Office” Deco directly in front of the modem and BAM! The download was 300Mbps and the upload was 30Mbps.
Now it was time for the ultimate test. With excitement I plugged in the second TP-Link Deco named “Hall” right on the opposite side of the home upstairs in front of our daughter’s bedroom and across the hall from our bedroom. After plugging it in I waited and waited. The Deco app was not finding the second X20 :(- What to do? I read the instructions and read to not have the deco next to any electronics so I moved the “Office” deco up to the top of my desk where the NightHawk was before. I then went upstairs and like magic MESH Wifi 6 was active. YEAH!!! The last part was simply rebooting my NAS - https://amzn.to/3Pc3MoL to grab a new IP address and reconnect all our devices. Everybody is happy, especially Dad because no more unplugging the modem than the router, waiting for a minute and plugging the cable modem and then the router back in. Date 9/6/2023. I will return and update after a month to provide an update. #ad
