You need a PoE switch if you mount a Deco unit in a location where it cannot access power—the Deco units do not transmit power to each other, even when they’re plugged into an outlet. The first tests occur close to the router, without obstructions—so the Wi-Fi is as strong and fast as it’s gonna get.

Its 160MHz channel, which doubles bandwidth and throughput, makes Deco X50-PoE 250 percent faster than standard Wi-Fi 5 mesh systems. What’s important to note is they support Power over Ethernet, meaning you don’t need the power adapters if you connect these access points to a PoE switch. Compatible devices like access points and digital security cameras do not need a power adapter to function when you connect them to a PoE switch.If you should receive a product that has been damaged while in transit please reach out to us here within 2 Days and we will certainly be able to address your concerns. The bad news is, in most cases, you can’t change the channel on a mesh system—as is the case for the X50-PoE.

The Alexa and Google Assistant support isn’t exactly novel, as many standalone routers and mesh systems support them. The Lenovo and Pixel numbers were a bit lower than what we wanted, but since we couldn’t manually select the best channel, they’re all we got.

Wi-Fi ‘dead zones’ cause huge issues for people who live in older properties, multi-story homes or have additional outbuildings. You start with the kit, and then you also need to install a switch and all the cabling needed to take advantage of PoE.The big selling point here is Power over Ethernet (PoE), which requires an additional piece of hardware and at least four long Ethernet cables to use fully. provider of Wi-Fi devices, distributing its technology to more than 170 countries and serving billions of people worldwide. Eliminate weak signal areas with a single Wi-Fi network that covers every corner of your home with seamless roaming, adaptive routing and self-healing.

Network Protection – Detect cyber threats to keep your privacy and connected devices well protected. No matter how many screens or devices are on at once, everyone is able to enjoy a more efficient network that loads faster without dragging down performance. As part of our RGB series of gaming PCs this unit comes with a fully controllable RGB lighting system which allows you to change the colour of your fans and LED strips with nearly infinite variations, all from the convenience of a remote control unit. The Google Nest Wifi kit we have on hand is cheaper, as it includes one router and two points (or satellites) with built-in smart speakers. You can mount each unit on a wall or the ceiling, keeping them (somewhat) out of reach of clients and renters.

With its built-in AI Roaming technology and self-learning capabilities, Deco X50-PoE forms a unified mesh network (with a single network name) to eliminate weak signal areas and empower people with Smart Roaming: giving them the ability to walk through their home and enjoy seamless connectivity on the move, at the fastest possible speeds. Multiple Installation Options – Place it on a tabletop or install it on a ceiling or wall with the adaptive accessories. That means you may see better or worse speeds than those we recorded—it depends on the radio noise surrounding your network.

Then, we transmit test data between our wireless devices and the server, taking numerous measurements to account for fluctuations in Wi-Fi speeds.Powerline connections utilize your home's electrical circuit to link Decos, bypassing even the thickest of walls and ceilings. Of course, you can use the X50-PoE like any other mesh network kit—the Ethernet backhaul is not a requirement.
