TP-Link Deco X50-DSL Mesh WiFi 6 AX3000 VDSL Modem Router Unboxing, Overview & Setup via App Account

In this video I take a look at the TP Link Deco X50 - a Wi-Fi 6 ready AX3000 router. This is the X50-DSL version which is a combined modem / router. The modem is a VDSL type which supports FTTC or ADSL connections that are quite common here in the UK. This model can use either the modem port with telephone line based connections or one of the Ethernet / LAN ports as a WAN / internet connection when/if upgraded to cable / full fibre broadband connections,

This covers a basic overview of the specs and unboxing the contents, then a quick guide through setting up the app on Android, configuring the WAN / internet connection and setting up a WiFi network name / SSID and password then a brief performance speed test.

Typically I always prefer to install hard-wired Ubiquiti Unifi access points. However this has been purchased for a friends house to use in conjunction with some remote Deco stations for whole home mesh wireless coverage as installation of new Ethernet / CAT6 wiring is not an option. I have never actually deployed or used a mesh system before this one so it'll be interesting to see how things go. I will try to also record a video on the deployment process if they give permission.
