lineheight20 greycolor\">Deco X5700 Performance<\/div>\t<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<p>In my tests, the TP-Link Deco X5700 was among the fastest Wi-Fi 6 Mesh Systems, thanks to its support for 160MHz channel bandwidth and its 2.5Gbps LAN port, which I used to hook it up to my testing server. At close range\u2014under 10 feet (3 metres)\u2014my 2\u00d72 Wi-Fi 6 client connected at 2.4Gbps, delivering sustained rates exceeding 1400Mbps. Below the 40ft mark and the client still maintained the same 2.4Gbps, although its throughput was toned down to a little over 1100Mbps. These results are better than a lot of dedicated routers. The Deco X5700 also impresses with Wi-Fi 5 clients. Up close, my 4\u00d74 test machine delivered over 800Mbps on average, and further away, my 3\u00d73 client came in at around 630Mbps. The Deco X5700 also has a range you&#8217;d expect from high-end standalone routers. The range it can cover is 2,000 square feet to 2,500 square feet, depending on your home and how many obstacles is present. Buy two and the coverage is effectively doubled, to over 50sqft!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"606\" src=\"https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Deco-X5700-speedtest-1024x606.jpg\" alt=\"TP-Link Deco X5700 Performance\" class=\"wp-image-2571\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Deco-X5700-speedtest-1024x606.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Deco-X5700-speedtest-300x178.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Deco-X5700-speedtest-767x454.jpg 767w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Deco-X5700-speedtest-1536x909.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Deco-X5700-speedtest-2048x1212.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Deco-X5700-speedtest-253x150.jpg 253w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Deco-X5700-speedtest-100x59.jpg 100w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Deco-X5700-speedtest-591x350.jpg 591w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Deco-X5700-speedtest-788x466.jpg 788w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Deco-X5700-speedtest.jpg 610w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The Deco X5700&#8217;s satellite unit fared well in wireless network performance tests, too. In my testing, my Wi-Fi 6 client delivered consistent speeds of 600Mbps to 760Mbps at 40 feet away from the mesh point. With Wi-Fi 5, my 3\u00d73 client still maintained a sustained speed of around 500Mbps in this range; that\u2019s quite amazing.<\/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-x5700-setup\">\t\t<h2 class=\"mt0 mb0\">TP-Link Deco X5700 Setup<\/h2>\t\t<div class=\"mt5 lineheight20 greycolor\">Deco X5700 Setup<\/div>\t<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<p>The setup process for the TP-Link Deco X5700 is identical to that of the Deco X60. Download the Deco app on your mobile device, log in to your TP-Link account, and follow the app instructions. There is one subtle difference. Unlike the Deco X60, the Deco X5700 is not a plug-and-play hardware. Hence, you will need to connect them manually through an app in order for them to become a mesh system. However, I had both installed and running in about 10 minutes. Once set up, you can manage your home network from anywhere using your mobile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"803\" src=\"https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Deco-X5700-setup-1024x803.jpg\" alt=\"TP-Link Deco X5700 Setup\" class=\"wp-image-2572\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Deco-X5700-setup-1024x803.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Deco-X5700-setup-300x235.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Deco-X5700-setup-768x602.jpg 768w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Deco-X5700-setup-1536x1204.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Deco-X5700-setup-2048x1606.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Deco-X5700-setup-191x150.jpg 191w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Deco-X5700-setup-100x78.jpg 100w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Deco-X5700-setup-446x350.jpg 446w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Deco-X5700-setup-788x617.jpg 788w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Deco-X5700-setup.jpg 991w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Please note that the Deco X5700 is unable to work with HomeCare, from protection, QoS control to Parental Controls. Instead, it has HomeShield (what is probably the next iteration of HomeCare), which comes in free and subscription models. With the free edition, you are restricted to basic QoS and a \u2018daily online time\u2019 internet access restriction. If you want the better control and protection, you&#8217;ll have to pick HomeShield Pro at $6 a month.<\/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\">8<\/span>\t<\/div>\t<div id=\"deco-x5700-verdict\">\t\t<h2 class=\"mt0 mb0\">TP-Link Deco X5700 Verdict<\/h2>\t\t<div class=\"mt5 lineheight20 greycolor\">Deco X5700 Verdict<\/div>\t<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"rate_bar_wrap revbox1715258581\"><div class=\"review-top\"><div class=\"overall-score\"><span class=\"overall r_score_9\">8.8<\/span><span class=\"overall-text\">Expert Score<\/span><\/div><div class=\"review-text\"><span class=\"review-header\"><\/span><p>As a mesh network, the TP-Link Deco X5700&#8217;s performance is on par with the Deco X90.
