Model: Deco X50  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version: 2.0.11

Is there any way we can get EasyMesh into the TP Link Deco X50?  My version seems to be US/1.6 with firmware 2.0.11.

 

What a waste that I have to throw this device to the garbage because it does not support a feature that TP link supports.

Will the hardware support Easy Mesh? If so any idea if/when the firmware will support it? 

Need help with the Deco app, setup, Ethernet backhaul, network switch or rolling back firmware? Router or AP mode? https://community.tp-link.com/us/home/forum/topic/699816?page=1

Thank you for the reply, though I am not sure about what the answer means.  I am suggesting that you add EasyMesh for Deco X50 US/1.60 or 1.5. It seems firmware with EasyMesh exists for V/1 and V/2 but not for US/1.6?

Sorry for the confusion I was alerting @Ryan a member of the support staff about your question. Sometimes a feature is supported by the deco hardware and just requires a firmware upgrade for it to work.

 

Other times the feature isn't support by the hardware at all.

 

I was asking him which one it is.

  @HelpFixDecoApp, @Capo13,

 

Generally speaking, Deco Mesh and EasyMesh are different technologies. Deco Mesh is our proprietary Mesh Technology designed with a specific Mesh Networking vision. EasyMesh is a non-proprietary, standards-based technology developed by the Wi-Fi Alliance. Their unique designs enable each technology to focus on delivering the specific performance and features for your preferred setup; however, this also means they aren’t interoperable.

 

To ensure a smoother networking experience, easier management, and to avoid potential inconsistencies in feature compatibility, we suggest sticking to a single mesh technology across your network.

 

  • If your goal is an EasyMesh network, Wi-Fi Routers and Range Extenders that support EasyMesh are your best bet.
  • For Deco Mesh, you'll want to stick with Deco (proprietary) to ensure seamless connectivity and coherent feature support across the network.
  • Slightly unrelated but additional context―our Business product line exclusively utilizes our proprietary Omada Mesh technology.
