From the manufacturer
Each Deco X20 unit has 2 Gigabit Ethernet ports
Each Deco X20 unit has 2 Gigabit Ethernet Ports, supports Ethernet backhaul. Any of them can work as a Wi-Fi Router.
Awe-Inspiring Wi-Fi 6 Speeds
Deco units work to provide you faster speeds up to 1.8 Gbps for buffer-free 8K/4K streaming and gaming even with all your smart home, mobile, and other electronic devices connected to your network.[2]
Coverage in All the Right Places
Immerse your whole home in powerful WiFi no matter its size or shape. Three units work together to provide coverage up to 5,800 sq. ft., ensuring you have uninterrupted WiFi from the bedroom to the backyard.[2]
Want more coverage? Simply add another Deco.
Easier and Hassel-Free WiFi Everywhere. Don’t get disconnected.
Unlike traditional routers and range extenders, Deco keeps you connected as you roam seamlessly from room to room without ever dropping your WiFi signal or connecting to a new network, and all you need is one WiFi name and password to connect.[3]
What is WiFi 6?
WiFi 6 is the next generation standard in WiFi technology. WiFi 6 also known as “AX WiFi" or "802.11ax WiFi” builds and improves on the current 802.11ac WiFi standard. WiFi 6 can provide faster speeds and handle more devices.
Does Deco X20 support Ethernet bachhaul? How many Ethernet ports does it have?
Yes, each Deco X20 unit has 2 Gigabit Etherent ports, you can connect them with Ethertnet cables to get better backhaul speeds. Each Deco X20 can work as a WiFi router, not like some Mesh that only provides 1 router and 2 extenders.
Will the Deco X20 work with my Internet Service Provider? (Cable and DSL?)
The Deco X20 works with all ISP’s by connecting to your owned or ISP-required cable or DSL modem. The Deco X20 itself is not a modem.
Is WiFi 6 compatible with my currenty WiFi devices?
WiFi 6 is backward compatible with previous generations of WiFi. You can connect your old WiFi devices to it. However, in order to take full advantage of WiFi 6, it requires clients to also support WiFi 6, like iPhone 11, Galaxy S10/Note 10.

The 5800 sqft wi-fi coverage (overall average wi-fi data rates = 500 Mbps includes smartphones) is more than adequate for our needs (no gaming, 2 TVs (family room and garage) with 5 Alexa Plus/Echo Dots, roaming smartphones/GEN 6 laptop, desktop, multiple switches/plugs, Xfinity/Comcast owned Home Security router and irrigation controllers).
We tested the Deco X-68 (2-pack) with dedicated 5GHz tri-band, finding the Home Security upgrade solicitations to be annoying vs the lifetime included Home Security bundled with the X-20 (very good). Since we have a crawl space, wiring backhaul CAT 7 cable (chosen if ISP plan ever exceeds 1 GIG) through a TP-Link unmanaged 5-Port switch made longer term usage/performance sense. Note: also connected TP-Link USB/Ethernet adapter to switch for HP Pavilion Desktop (ethernet adapter only 100 Mbps)...increased wi-fi data rate from 250 Mbps to wired 500 Mbps. Aside: The Mrs wasn't thrilled to call the local Fire Department because I was stuck trying to get out of the crawl space!
900-600-300-(50%)
900 = ISP subscription signal data rate directly from Arris SB8200 cable modem to desktop and laptop. ALERT: The cable modem has 2 1-Gigabit ports, but ONLY 1 is operational unless you upgrade your Comcast subscription plan (not knowing cost me a lot of time plus the Comcast technician during his visit didn't even comment on this condition..."we don't troubleshoot 3rd party equipment" Oh you don't? = I collected $250 in refunds FROM Comcast during this installation process) Suggestion: We put a book cover around cable modem on bookcase to hide it, but it's still accessible if we need to manually reboot (see photo).
600 = Signal loss (300 Mbps) connecting cable modem to Main Deco and backhaul ethernet cable wiring 2 nodes/satellites. Both our desktop and Lenovo Gen 6 laptop speed test at 600 Mbps by each Deco X-20 location. Note: Gen 6 laptop "wi-fi data rate" is also 600 Mbps at each location which implies the Gen 6 new standards firmware is performing well. Also smartphone Pixel 3A XL wi-fi roaming throughout house speed tests at 500 Mbps.
300 = Signal loss (300 Mbps) speed testing wi-fi on the Gen 6 laptop in remote areas: Garage & Patio areas performing at 300 Mbps
50% Loss Non-Wired Backhaul = Using the Deco X-20 routers to transmit ISP signal through its 4 antenna/radios vs backhaul wiring, decreases signal by 50% at all locations...ie signal in Garage by Android TV drops from 300 Mbps to 150Mbps (basically triggered decision to run ethernet cables or reinvestigate tri-band solutions)
Deco APP = Extremely well designed, absolute piece O cake to use. Provides me all I need to manage the entire network (connected devices/mac addresses/connected frequency rate (2.4 vs 5)/locations/wired not wired) by online/offline plus separate listing by locations) Easily reboot All Decos, optimize network, turn on/off Guest Network (works well with Alexa skill) to include 2.4GHz and/or 5GHz signals+++ = Just terrific!
TP Link Support = 24/7 phone support with very caring and generally very competent technical troubleshooting. I made a very costly set-up error by testing QoS (Quality of Service) by entering 100 Mbps download (I recommended to TP-Link about adding WARNING for this input) because it basically puts a governor on your real available data rates. Xfinity and I got tired proving I was getting the subscription rate we are paying for!
Bottom Line = For our installation and needs, we couldn't be more ecstatic with the upgraded High-Efficiency/High-Value mesh routers for $220. Note: Switch, USB/Ethernet adapter, CAT 7 cables = $75
What triggered this entire project was our purchase of a Gen 6 enabled Lenovo laptop. Of note, BOTH your router and connected device need 802.11ax or Gen 6 chip sets to tap OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access)/RU (Resource Units) efficiency and WPA3 security (160 MHz channels (not supported in X-20) and MU-MIMO (Multi-user, Multiple Input, Multiple Output = currently vaporware) adds nothing to our WLAN performance needs). I believe, although cannot unequivocally test, the Gen 6 enhanced data rates are performing extremely well. All other legacy devices are solid with the new available signal strength and strong data rates near the 3 APs (Access Points). Our Orbit hose/timer up the back hill tucked under the redwood trees receives 75 Mbps!
6E chip set devices will be rapidly appearing in the marketplace over the next few years. You need BOTH the router and device to include 6E chipsets to utilize the new 1200 MHz, 6Ghz "pristine spectrum". As we Long Term Evolve (LTE), our new Deco X-20 (3-pack) will easily last 3 years or longer as our devices are steadily upgraded to 6E.
We highly recommend!

The setup process was a breeze, thanks to the intuitive Deco app provided by TP-Link. The app not only guided me through the installation but also offers a plethora of controls to tailor the network to my specific needs. From managing connected devices to setting up parental controls, the Deco app puts the power in my hands. I appreciate the level of customization it provides, allowing me to prioritize devices, monitor network activity, and even schedule WiFi access times. It's a user-friendly interface that adds a layer of convenience to an already impressive system.
Overall, the TP-Link Deco X20 WiFi 6 Mesh System has proven to be a very good investment for anyone looking to upgrade their home network.

Las instrucciones que vienen en la caja en un principio y luego en la app para instalar los DECO son claras y sencillas de seguir.
Una vez instalado, la velocidad del internet que se tiene contratada con el proveedor se replicó bien en todo el establecimiento y sin variaciones.
Es un producto caro pero vale la pena.

Extiende la señal muy lejos, incluso atravesando muros y columnas (probado en 3 pisos)
Una vez que conecté este kit de TP link mi internet mejoró muchísimo
En dos meses de uso sólo he presentado dos caídas pero quiero pensar que es problema de proveedor ya que al resetear el módem de TotalPlay la conexión se restableció
El kit me costó $5,800 y a pesar de considerar que fue algo costoso el gasto me siento satisfecho porque no sólo mejoró la estabilidad sino que además la señal aumentó dándome prácticamente el 100% de lo contratado, cuando antes de adquirir el kit sólo me daba máximo el 70% y una inestabilidad que era molesto tener que resetear a cada rato el módem
Otro punto a destacar es que además mejoró la señal el alcance también debo mencionarlo ya que hasta la esquina de la cuadra llega la señal
Yo personalmente exijo mucho la calidad del internet ya que me gusta que Alexa funcione sin fallas de conexión y con este kit solucioné ese problema que tenía de caídas de señal
En conclusión hasta el momento puedo decir que valió la pena el gasto realizado
