What is the TP-Link Deco AX3000?
Like most entries in the Deco lineup, the Deco AX3000 is a three-tower Wifi Mesh bundle, where one acts as the primary node while the others serve as bridges.
TP-Link has ensured that customers avoid confusion by changing the design of the Deco AX3000 into cylindrical boxes (measuring 110mm in width and 114 mm in height).
How Do I set it up?
TP-Link is known to make Wifi accessories and routers which are super simple to set up, and the AX3000 is no different.
- Download the Deco app on your smartphone
- Sign in or sign up with a TP-Link account
- The app will then detect the primary Wifi unit
In a few moments, you will be all set up. The average setup time, in this case, is just around 10 minutes.
The good news here is that you do not have to individually pair the remaining Wifi nodes. Just set up the primary and connect the remaining to a power outlet. In a few seconds, they will become part of the mesh.
Now, before we move on to the next section of the review, it is good to know, that logging into the app with a TP-Link account means that the nodes are connected to TP-Link at all times. This further means that you are effectively controlling your internet home network through TP-Link.
So, it would be advisable to go through TP-Link’s privacy policy and understand what kind of data they keep stored. Buy TP-Link devices only when you are completely convinced of the internal details.
Keeping it simple on the web –
TP-Link delivers a very easy-to-use web interface. If the Deco app is not operating the way it is supposed to, you can access all those features right from your desktop browser by heading to tplinkdeco.net and logging in with your TP-Link Credentials.
