Chinese computer electronics company TP-Link has released the Deco XE75, a new tri-band Wi-Fi 6E mesh router with an affordable price tag. According to the company, the new router was built with the intention of lowering the cost barrier associated with 6GHz wireless technology.
The good news is that despite the Deco XE75's reduced price, the device still delivers most of the features included on more premium routers. For example, the Deco XE75 reaches close to 5,500 square feet and boasts an impressive wireless network speed of 5.4 Gbps. In addition, the router has been tested to support up to 200 devices on one network, which is more than other leading ^GHz routers, such as the Eero Pro 6E.
