拆箱TP-Link Deco X60 AX3000网状 Wi-Fi 系统
TP-Link Deco X60装在一个漂亮的白色盒子里，里面有组成套件的设备图片。Deco X60可以一包、两包或三包购买。正如您在下面看到的，我们收到了用于测试的 3 件装变体。
当您打开盒子时，您会立即看到组成套件的单元。一切(Everything)看起来都很棒，整个体验都很愉快，给您的印象是您正在拆箱高级设备。
当您从包装盒中取出所有物品时，您会发现以下物品：Deco X60装置、一条以太网(Ethernet)电缆、每个装置的电源适配器（它们非常大）、快速安装指南以及一份关于如何安装的建议的传单如果您无法连接到Deco X60发出的Wi-Fi ，请执行此操作。不幸的是，Deco X60上的新(Deco X60)Wi-Fi 6标准不适用于没有最新无线驱动程序的旧设备。此问题适用于所有Wi-Fi 6路由器和网状Wi-Fi系统，而不仅仅是Deco X60。
TP-Link Deco X60 使用的包装看起来很棒，而且开箱是值得的高级设备。在里面，您拥有立即开始所需的一切。(The packaging used for the TP-Link Deco X60 looks great, and the unboxing is worthy of a premium device. Inside you have everything you need to get started right away.)
硬件规格和设计
每个TP-Link Deco X60单元都有一个四核Qualcomm IPQ8071处理器，运行频率为 1 GHz，512 MB RAM和 128 MB 固件存储空间。每个单元内部有四个内部全向天线，使用所有现代标准广播无线信号，包括Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax)。该网状 Wi-Fi 系统是双频的，使用 Wi-Fi 6 时，2.4GHz 频段的最大总理论带宽为 575 Mbps ，5GHz 频段为2400 Mbps。
TP-Link Deco X60具有美观简约的设计。每个单元都是圆形的，直径为 4.33 英寸（11 厘米），高度为 4.49 英寸（11.4 厘米）。它的重量也为 2.86 磅或 1.3 公斤。正面的TP-Link标志是离散的，每个单元的底部只有一个LED ，指示其工作状态。(LED)如下图所示，Deco X60非常适合注重设计和外观的生活空间。
在每个Deco X60的背面，只有两个以太网(Ethernet)端口（1 Gbps）和电源插孔。这对大多数人来说已经足够了，但是高级用户会想要更多的以太网(Ethernet)端口。此外， Deco X60(Deco X60)上没有可用的USB端口，这可能对某些用户不利。
在Deco X60的底部，有四个橡胶支脚，可将其固定在任何表面和复位(Reset)插孔上。不幸的是，没有将其安装在墙上的孔。
要了解有关此产品的技术规格的更多信息，请访问此页面：TP-Link Deco X60 规格(TP-Link Deco X60 Specifications)。
设置和使用TP-Link Deco X60网状 Wi-Fi 系统
使用适用于Android(Android)或iOS的(iOS)Deco应用程序在您的智能手机上完成设置。您还需要一个TP-Link Cloud帐户，您可以通过移动应用程序或计算机创建该帐户。一个缺点是缺乏双重身份验证来提高您帐户的安全性。我们希望TP-Link将来会添加此安全功能。
设置向导易于使用，它从选择您拥有的模型开始。
您需要选择主要Deco X60装置的位置和互联网连接类型。该应用程序无法很好地检测您的互联网连接，最好手动输入所有必要的连接详细信息。
您创建 Wi-Fi 网络并为其设置名称和密码。然后，您可以添加更多Deco单元。一个很酷的功能是在您打开额外的Deco X60单元后会自动检测它们。您无需从应用程序手动添加它们。
在设置向导期间，您可能会遇到一些小麻烦，因为应用程序无法连接到Deco X60主设备。按照应用程序给出的说明重试。它通常在那之后起作用。
TP-Link Deco应用程序简单易用。在主(Home)屏幕上，您会看到所有连接到网络的设备。还有HomeCare屏幕，您可以在其中控制Deco X60的所有安全功能，在“更多”(More)屏幕中，您可以访问更高级的控制选项。
不幸的是，高级选项列表并不长，高级用户会感到受限制。例如，无法为每个频段使用不同的名称来广播 Wi-Fi。此外，您无法决定是否要关闭 Wi-Fi 6。
其高级选项数量有限的一个优点是每个人都可以理解Deco应用程序并使用它来轻松配置Deco X60。所有设置都得到了很好的解释，因此您在设置网络时应该没有问题。
每个月初，该应用程序都会提供一份报告。它包括有用的统计数据，例如您网络中在线时间最长的设备、您网络中实现的最高互联网速度、连接到网络的新设备数量、阻止的恶意攻击以及您孩子的互联网历史记录（如果家长控制(Parental Controls)已设置。
另一个积极的方面是TP-Link提供了对基于 Web 的管理用户界面的访问。不幸的是，这里提供的选项与移动应用程序中的选项相同，高级用户不会像使用其他品牌的网状 Wi-Fi 系统那样从中获得更多。
我们将十几台设备连接到网络：台式电脑、笔记本电脑、平板电脑、几部智能手机、一个智能插头、一个智能灯泡、一台Xbox One控制台和一台无线打印机。所有这些都连接到网络没有问题；但是，一台笔记本电脑不断与Wi-Fi(Wi-Fi)断开连接。TP-Link对某些设备出现Wi-Fi 6问题的警告并非没有道理。在我们将该笔记本电脑上的驱动程序更新到最新版本之前，Wi-Fi连接稳定性一直是个问题。
我们注意到的一个方面是Wi-Fi速度在最靠近Deco X60主设备的房间里非常好，但在其他房间里却下降了很多。但是，这并不意味着我们公寓的任何地方的Wi-Fi都很慢。(Wi-Fi)相反，与其他网状Wi-Fi系统一样，如果使用专用Wi-Fi回程，这种下降可能会更小。(Wi-Fi)
通过网络传输数据时，我们研究了网络传输的可变性。
我们去了一个房间，它与主要的Deco X60单元被一堵墙隔开。我们注意到，使用 2.4 GHz频段和 Wi-Fi 4 时，平均传输速度很好。但是，无线传输的可变性可以通过未来的固件更新得到改善。
切换到 5 GHz(GHz)频段和 Wi-Fi 5时，同一房间内的平均速度更高。无线传输的可变性也优于 2.4 GHz频段。
切换到Wi-Fi 6时，平均速度略高，但幅度很小。我们注意到，仅在Deco X60(Deco X60)主设备覆盖的房间内使用Wi-Fi 6时出现了有意义的改进。这有点浪费潜力，这是由于缺乏专用的 Wi-Fi 回程，就像其他网状 Wi-Fi 系统一样。

Unboxing the TP-Link Deco X60 AX3000 mesh Wi-Fi system
TP-Link Deco X60 comes in a beautiful white box with a picture of the devices that make up the kit. Deco X60 can be purchased in packs of one, two, or three units. As you can see below, we received the 3-pack variant for testing.
When you open the box, you immediately see the units that make up the kit. Everything looks great, and the whole experience is pleasant, giving you the impression that you are unboxing a premium device.
When you take everything out of the box, you find the following items: the Deco X60 units, an Ethernet cable, the power adapter for each unit (they are pretty big), the quick installation guide, and a leaflet with advice about what to do if you can't connect to the Wi-Fi emitted by Deco X60. Unfortunately, the new Wi-Fi 6 standard on the Deco X60 doesn't work well with older devices that do not have up-to-date wireless drivers. This problem is valid for all Wi-Fi 6 routers and mesh Wi-Fi systems, not just the Deco X60.
The packaging used for the TP-Link Deco X60 looks great, and the unboxing is worthy of a premium device. Inside you have everything you need to get started right away.
Hardware specifications and design
Each TP-Link Deco X60 unit has a quad-core Qualcomm IPQ8071 processor, running at 1 GHz, 512 MB of RAM, and 128 MB of storage space for the firmware. There are four internal omnidirectional antennas inside each unit, broadcasting the wireless signal using all modern standards, including Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax). This mesh Wi-Fi system is dual-band, and it has a maximum total theoretical bandwidth of 575 Mbps on 2.4GHz band and 2400 Mbps on 5GHz band, when using Wi-Fi 6.
TP-Link Deco X60 has a beautiful and minimalistic design. Each unit is round, with a diameter of 4.33 inches (11 cm) and a height of 4.49 inches (11.4 cm). It also weighs 2.86 pounds or 1.3 kg. The TP-Link logo on the front is discrete, and there's only one LED on the bottom of each unit, signaling its functioning status. As you can see in the picture below, Deco X60 is a good fit for living spaces where design and looks matter.
On the back of each Deco X60, there are only two Ethernet ports (at 1 Gbps) and the power jack. This is enough for most people, but advanced users are going to want more Ethernet ports. Also, there is no USB port available on the Deco X60, which may be a downside to some users.
On the bottom of the Deco X60, there are four rubber feet that hold it in place on any surface and the Reset jack. Unfortunately, there are no holes for mounting it on walls.

Setting up and using the TP-Link Deco X60 mesh Wi-Fi system
The setup is done on your smartphone, using the Deco app for Android or iOS. You also need a TP-Link Cloud account, which you can create from the mobile app or your computer. One downside is the lack of two-factor authentication to increase the security of your account. We hope that TP-Link is going to add this security feature in the future.
The setup wizard is easy to use, and it starts with choosing the model that you own.
You are asked to choose the location of your main Deco X60 unit and the type of your internet connection. The app doesn't do a good job of detecting your internet connection, and it is best to enter all the necessary connection details manually.
You create your Wi-Fi network and set up a name and password for it. Then, you can add more Deco units. One cool feature is that the additional Deco X60 units are detected automatically after you turn them on. You don't need to add them manually from the app.
You may encounter a minor annoyance during the setup wizard, with the app failing to connect to the main Deco X60 unit. Follow the instructions given by the app and try again. It usually works after that.
The TP-Link Deco app is simple and easy to use. On the Home screen, you see all the devices that are connected to the network. There is also the HomeCare screen, where you control all the security features of the Deco X60 and the More screen where you get access to the more advanced control options.
Unfortunately, the list of advanced options is not that long, and power users are going to feel constrained. For example, there is no way to broadcast the Wi-Fi using different names for each band. Also, you can't decide whether you want to turn off Wi-Fi 6 or not.
One upside to its limited number of advanced options is that everyone can understand the Deco app and use it to easily configure the Deco X60. All the settings are nicely explained, so you should have no issues in setting up your network.
At the beginning of each month, the app offers a report. It includes useful statistics like the devices from your network with the most time spent online, the top internet speed achieved in your network, the number of new devices connected to the network, the malicious attacks blocked, and the internet history of your child if the Parental Controls are set up.
Another positive is that TP-Link offers access to a web-based administration user interface. Unfortunately, the options available here are the same as the ones in the mobile app, and advanced users aren't going to get more out of it, as they would with mesh Wi-Fi systems from other brands.
We connected more than a dozen devices to the network: desktop PCs, laptops, tablets, several smartphones, one smart plug, one smart bulb, an Xbox One console, and a wireless printer. All of them connected to the network without issues; however, one laptop kept disconnecting from the Wi-Fi. TP-Link's warning about some devices having problems with Wi-Fi 6 is not without reason. Until we updated the drivers on that laptop to their latest version, the Wi-Fi connection stability was an issue.
One aspect that we noticed was that the Wi-Fi speed was excellent in the rooms closest to the main Deco X60 unit, but it dropped quite a bit in the others. However, this doesn't mean that the Wi-Fi was slow anywhere in our apartment. On the contrary, it's just that this drop could have been smaller with a dedicated Wi-Fi backhaul, like other mesh Wi-Fi systems have.
When transferring data through the network, we looked at the variability of network transfers.
We went to a room that is separated from the main Deco X60 unit by a wall. We noticed that the average transfer speed was good when using the 2.4 GHz band and Wi-Fi 4. However, the variability of wireless transfers can be improved through future firmware updates.
The average speed was higher in the same room when switching to the 5 GHz band and Wi-Fi 5. The variability of wireless transfers was also better than on the 2.4 GHz band.
When switching to Wi-Fi 6, the average speed was slightly higher, but by a small margin. We noticed meaningful improvements when using Wi-Fi 6 only in the rooms covered by the main Deco X60 unit. This is a bit of wasted potential, and it is caused by the lack of a dedicated Wi-Fi backhaul, like other mesh Wi-Fi systems have.
If you want to know more about the real-world performance offered by TP-Link Deco X60, including comparisons with other mesh Wi-Fi systems, go to the next page of this review.
