Ratings and Reviews
Flawlessly simple setup
It took minutes to setup the Deco PX50 network. I normally experience some issue during setup of wifi devices, but this was flawless. Up and running in a few minutes. The app has options to tweak network settings for best performance, but when playing with the settings I found it had already optimised the network. This setup (2 Decos) replaces a Telstra Smart Modem3/booster setup that employed 3 boosters plus the modem’s wifi to get whole home coverage but still had dropout issues. The Decos deliver a stronger, more consistent coverage with just 2 Decos. Very happy with the App, and the Deco product!
Works, but range seems limited
Had an ASUS ZENWifi mini mesh system prior to this. One of the 3 units failed, bought this to replace it but the range seems considerably less according to the inbuilt signal quality system. Deco units placed at same location the ASUS units were.
The ZenWIFI units mesh with Deco though! Surprise surprise!
Setup is limited to the app only. The inbuilt website of the units is useless and thoroughly limited to just show you the settings. There is no admin ability. This is the hard bit, as I am used to a lot more flexibility and being tied to a mobile app isn’t great at all. I see from FAQs to the company that this is the biggest issue everyone seems to have. There’s no ability to re-sort the list of devices or group them based on IP Subnet etc, which makes for managing larger networks almost impossible. The address reservation system is limited too and nowhere near as intuitive as lesser priced routers.
Jury is out on this one. We will see how it lasts…
Did not have the experience that other reviewers shared
I found the app poor in 2 areas.
1. Setting up my M5 Mesh was a nightmare using this app. You are unable to go backwards to previous pages in the setup process and if you need to, are advised in the help links to delete the app and try again. I deleted and reinstalled the app repeatedly trying to get it to work. I contacted my ISP provider twice, it worked for about 3 seconds after the first call and not at all after the second one after an hour on the phone. Very grateful for the service from my ISP provider as at least I knew then I was doing nothing wrong. Finally came good after uninstalling the app and turning everything off including the phone.
2. The speed test using the app exaggerates the speed by 30Mbps. Literally shows a speed 20Mbps higher than what I pay for!
I would not buy this product again or recommend this app to anyone.
