Deco X68 has a glossy black top with concentric circle pattern, kind of like a speaker, and a coloured ring of LEDs around the light in the center which displays network status.

The main router always has one port taken up for the WAN connection to the internet source. You can also use the remaining ports as LAN to connect via a wired backhaul. This is great for homes where you think there may be a lot of interference, or hard to penetrate walls (concrete). Most mesh network systems don&#8217;t even give you an Ethernet port on every node, much less two. The base station only has a single port left over as one is needed to connect the device to the ISP&#8217;s modem\/router. And if you want more wired connections, you can buy a basic network switch.<\/p>\n\n\n<style scoped>.rh-review-heading{flex-wrap:wrap}.rh-review-heading__position span{line-height:.78}.rh-review-heading__position span:after{content:\".\"}.rh-review-heading__logo{margin-top:10px;width:100%}.rh-review-heading__logo img{width:auto;max-height:60px}.rh-review-heading__logo-container{max-height:60px;max-width:150px}\n@media only screen and (min-width:480px){.rh-review-heading{flex-wrap:nowrap}.rh-review-heading__logo{margin-top:0;width:auto}}\n.rtl .rh-review-heading .rh-review-heading__position{margin-right:0!important;margin-left:15px}<\/style><div class=\"rh-review-heading rh-flex-center-align mb25\">\t<div class=\"rh-review-heading__position mr15 font150\">\t\t<span class=\"fontbold lightgreycolor font250\">3<\/span>\t<\/div>\t<div id=\"deco-x68-feature\">\t\t<h2 class=\"mt0 mb0\"> TP-Link Deco X68 Feature<\/h2>\t\t<div class=\"mt5 lineheight20 greycolor\">Deco X68 Feature<\/div>\t<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Tri-Band WiFi 6 Mesh WiFi:<\/strong> Next-gen WiFi 6 AX3600 whole home mesh system to eliminate weak WiFi for good.

Next, I hooked up an Asus Drivestor 4 Pro NAS device to the Ethernet port of the host Deco and connected a test laptop\u2014equipped with an Intel AX210 Wi-Fi card\u2014to the 5GHz network. I then dragged the laptop around the house and got an average transfer rate for some file copies across to and from the NAS. Here&#8217;s what I found, plus results for a few competitors against which we tested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"577\" src=\"https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/tp-link_deco_x68_download_speed_chart_0-1024x577.jpg\" alt=\"tp-link deco x68 download speed chart\" class=\"wp-image-2348\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/tp-link_deco_x68_download_speed_chart_0-1024x577.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/tp-link_deco_x68_download_speed_chart_0-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/tp-link_deco_x68_download_speed_chart_0-767x432.jpg 767w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/tp-link_deco_x68_download_speed_chart_0-1536x866.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/tp-link_deco_x68_download_speed_chart_0-2048x1154.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/tp-link_deco_x68_download_speed_chart_0-266x150.jpg 266w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/tp-link_deco_x68_download_speed_chart_0-100x56.jpg 100w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/tp-link_deco_x68_download_speed_chart_0-621x350.jpg 621w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/tp-link_deco_x68_download_speed_chart_0-788x444.jpg 788w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/tp-link_deco_x68_download_speed_chart_0.jpg 921w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The Deco X68 is well ahead of the cheaper Deco X50 and most of Huawei&#8217;s offerings in terms of performance. However, this doesn&#8217;t mean these mesh networks are useless: they prove to be fast enough to handle video streaming, Zoom calls, and other demands in every room. But that extra bandwidth offered by the Deco X68 could help more devices hit those maximum speeds at once and would allow faster data can be sent back and forth within your network. The Deco X68 also outperforms the Linksys Atlas Pro 6. Its short-range performance is actually slightly better and it&#8217;s \u00a359 cheaper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"577\" src=\"https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/tp-link_deco_x68_upload_speed_chart_0-1024x577.jpg\" alt=\"tp-link deco x68 upload speed chart\" class=\"wp-image-2349\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/tp-link_deco_x68_upload_speed_chart_0-1024x577.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/tp-link_deco_x68_upload_speed_chart_0-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/tp-link_deco_x68_upload_speed_chart_0-767x432.jpg 767w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/tp-link_deco_x68_upload_speed_chart_0-1536x866.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/tp-link_deco_x68_upload_speed_chart_0-2048x1154.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/tp-link_deco_x68_upload_speed_chart_0-266x150.jpg 266w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/tp-link_deco_x68_upload_speed_chart_0-100x56.jpg 100w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/tp-link_deco_x68_upload_speed_chart_0-621x350.jpg 621w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/tp-link_deco_x68_upload_speed_chart_0-788x444.jpg 788w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/tp-link_deco_x68_upload_speed_chart_0.jpg 921w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>However, TP-Link Deco X68 falls short when compared to the Deco XE75, which supports 6E. Yes, under a 5GHz Wi-Fi 6 connection, the Deco X68 is slightly faster overall than the Deco XE75, but it lags slightly in same-room speeds. However, this difference is not noticeable in everyday use. When I enabled Wi-Fi 6E on the test laptop, the Deco XE75&#8217;s support for 6GHz gave it an edge over the Deco X68. If this seems like an unfair comparison, that&#8217;s precisely the point: any device connecting to your network in the future may support Wi-Fi 6E, but the Deco X68 won&#8217;t be able to fully realise its performance potential.<\/p>\n\n\n<style scoped>.rh-review-heading{flex-wrap:wrap}.rh-review-heading__position span{line-height:.78}.rh-review-heading__position span:after{content:\".\"}.rh-review-heading__logo{margin-top:10px;width:100%}.rh-review-heading__logo img{width:auto;max-height:60px}.rh-review-heading__logo-container{max-height:60px;max-width:150px}\n@media only screen and (min-width:480px){.rh-review-heading{flex-wrap:nowrap}.rh-review-heading__logo{margin-top:0;width:auto}}\n.rtl .rh-review-heading .rh-review-heading__position{margin-right:0!important;margin-left:15px}<\/style><div class=\"rh-review-heading rh-flex-center-align mb25\">\t<div class=\"rh-review-heading__position mr15 font150\">\t\t<span class=\"fontbold lightgreycolor font250\">6<\/span>\t<\/div>\t<div id=\"deco-x68-setup\">\t\t<h2 class=\"mt0 mb0\">TP-Link Deco X68 Setup<\/h2>\t\t<div class=\"mt5 lineheight20 greycolor\">Deco X68 Setup<\/div>\t<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Setup for the Deco X68 is mainly through a mobile app (also available on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store), just like other TP-Link Deco routers. This app is sleek, easy to use and takes users through the setup process in just 10 minutes. They can select either the 5GHz or 2.4GHz wireless bands: 5GHz offers faster transfer speeds but doesn&#8217;t penetrate walls as well as the 2.4GHz band. You can also allow the system to choose the coverage while creating visitor guests networks. This is a huge boon, a couple years ago setting up Wi-Fi was absolute madness compared to how trivially easy it is now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"376\" src=\"https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/tplink-deco-x68-setup-1024x376.jpg\" alt=\"TP-Link Deco X68 Setup\" class=\"wp-image-2350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/tplink-deco-x68-setup-1024x376.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/tplink-deco-x68-setup-300x110.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/tplink-deco-x68-setup-766x281.jpg 766w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/tplink-deco-x68-setup-1536x564.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/tplink-deco-x68-setup-2048x752.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/tplink-deco-x68-setup-409x150.jpg 409w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/tplink-deco-x68-setup-100x37.jpg 100w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/tplink-deco-x68-setup-954x350.jpg 954w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/tplink-deco-x68-setup-788x289.jpg 788w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/tplink-deco-x68-setup.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>After completing its setup the real challenge is how and where each node should be placed. To achieve optimal performance, they should not be placed on the floor or in corners and should not be obstructed by furniture. The key is to position them at a higher elevation so that the original network signal from the main node can be transmitted and connect to the additional nodes. For a four-room residence, selecting three nodes is the best choice for achieving maximum coverage based on the house layout and concrete walls, but it is important to note that each additional node will slightly reduce network speed.<\/p>\n\n\n<style scoped>.rh-review-heading{flex-wrap:wrap}.rh-review-heading__position span{line-height:.78}.rh-review-heading__position span:after{content:\".\"}.rh-review-heading__logo{margin-top:10px;width:100%}.rh-review-heading__logo img{width:auto;max-height:60px}.rh-review-heading__logo-container{max-height:60px;max-width:150px}\n@media only screen and (min-width:480px){.rh-review-heading{flex-wrap:nowrap}.rh-review-heading__logo{margin-top:0;width:auto}}\n.rtl .rh-review-heading .rh-review-heading__position{margin-right:0!important;margin-left:15px}<\/style><div class=\"rh-review-heading rh-flex-center-align mb25\">\t<div class=\"rh-review-heading__position mr15 font150\">\t\t<span class=\"fontbold lightgreycolor font250\">7<\/span>\t<\/div>\t<div id=\"deco-x68-verdict\">\t\t<h2 class=\"mt0 mb0\">TP-Link Deco X68 Verdict<\/h2>\t\t<div class=\"mt5 lineheight20 greycolor\">Deco X68 Verdict<\/div>\t<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"rate_bar_wrap revbox1141763727\"><div class=\"review-top\"><div class=\"overall-score\"><span class=\"overall r_score_9\">9.1<\/span><span class=\"overall-text\">Expert Score<\/span><\/div><div class=\"review-text\"><span class=\"review-header\"><\/span><p>The TP-Link Deco X68 is an excellent Mesh system.
