Why a Mesh system is better than a traditional router

A traditional router broadcasts a signal from a single point, and the further you are, the worse the coverage. A Mesh system works differently: two (or more) units cooperate to create a single continuous network. Your phone or laptop automatically switches to the nearest unit without you noticing. The result is a stable signal throughout the apartment or house – without dead zones around the corner or in the attic.

TP-Link Deco X55 uses Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax), which brings higher speeds, better handling of multiple devices simultaneously, and lower latency. In practice, you’ll appreciate it when the whole family is simultaneously streaming, playing online games, and working on video calls.

Technical parameters in practice

Deco X55 offers a theoretical speed of up to 2,976 Mb/s (574 Mb/s on 2.4 GHz + 2,402 Mb/s on 5 GHz). In real-world use, users report speeds around 900 Mb/s with a gigabit line – one reviewer explicitly states that they measured an improvement of 500 Mb/s compared to the older Deco M4. Two units cover an area of up to 360 m², which is sufficient for most apartments and smaller family houses. If you need more, you can purchase an additional unit.

Each unit has 3× gigabit ports, so you can also connect devices without Wi-Fi (desktop, NAS, gaming consoles). The system supports WPA3 encryption for higher security and can connect up to 150 devices – including all smart bulbs, thermostats, and other IoT devices.

Installation and control

Setup is done via the Deco app, which guides you through the entire process step by step. Users in reviews repeatedly mention that installation takes only a few minutes and can be handled even by less tech-savvy individuals. The app allows network management from anywhere, guest network setup, device prioritization (QoS), and basic parental control.

The units have a compact cylindrical design in white, which does not look intrusive in the interior. Power consumption is low – a maximum of 6W per unit. Minor drawback: they cannot be wall-mounted without purchasing a bracket (3D printable options also exist). The green LED light is quite bright, but it can be turned off in the app.

What users say

On Alza, the Deco X55 has a rating of 4.7 out of 5 (45 ratings) and 98% of customers recommend it. Over 1,000 units have been sold with a return rate of only 0.43%. The most frequent praises are directed at the ease of setup, reliable coverage, and the quality of the Mesh function. One user states that two units cover two apartments on two floors, including the attic and garden.

Critical voices primarily concern limited parental control – the full version (HomeShield Pro) is paid. Some users miss the option for manual channel settings or more advanced features offered by traditional routers. There is also a warning about interference from LG soundbars in the 5 GHz band – if you have a soundbar of this brand, place the Deco unit further away from it.

When it doesn’t make sense

If you live in a small apartment (up to 60 m²) where a single traditional router is sufficient, a Mesh system is an unnecessary luxury. Similarly, if you need advanced network settings (VPN server, detailed per-IP statistics, manual channel configuration) – Deco is intentionally simplified for average users. Power users will likely be happier with a higher-end traditional router.

It also holds that for full functionality, you need to create a TP-Link account and manage everything via the cloud. If you prefer purely local management without reliance on external servers, this solution might not suit you.

Verdict: who it’s worth it for

The TP-Link Deco X55 (2-pack) for 3,199 CZK is a solid choice for households that want reliable Wi-Fi coverage without complicated setup. Two units will cover even a larger apartment or smaller house, Wi-Fi 6 will ensure sufficient speed for simultaneous streaming for the whole family, and AI Mesh will provide seamless roaming between units. The 4.7/5 rating and 98% customer satisfaction speak for themselves. Conversely, if you have a small apartment or require advanced settings, look for a traditional router.

Do you use a Mesh system at home, or is a traditional router enough for you?
