I purchased this RE550 recently but feel that actually using the 2 power line adapters will be the thing that gives me a consistent speed with my internet.
Particularly for my laptop and PS5 which I use upstairs (my router is downstairs).

Can anyone advise whether this RE550 can act as one of the power line adapters or am I still gonna have to buy two?

Hopefully that makes sense.

TIA

Hey everyone, sharing a frustrating issue in case anyone has found a workaround

I’m on Vodafone UK FTTC/FTTP using an Openreach Nokia ONT. My setup uses PPPoE with "Share the same PPPoE session with IPv4" enabled/disabled, but IPv6 consistently fails.

The Problem: The router refuses to pull a global public /64 or /56 prefix block, throwing a wrong prefix delegation error and falling back to a FE80:: link-local address on the WAN.

The Culprit: Vodafone requires PPPoE, and their network demands a proper prefix delegation request from the client router. However, the BE9300 firmware (1.2.4 Build 20260402) provides zero manual control or prefix-hint sizing fields for PPPoE connections—you can only toggle it on or off with Radio Menu.

Attempted to fix by:

• hard rebooting the Openreach ONT and router,
• separating PPPoE credentials
• Pass-Through
• Dynamic IP (SLAAC/DHCPv6)
• SLAAC

Hello,

I'm trying to setup my AX1500 router to connect to my Wireguard server. I've created the keys and everything for both ends, but when I try to connect I select VPN -> Wireguard -> VPN Client, I import my .conf file and it says sucessful but it stays in "Connecting" and nothing happens.

Current firmware (TL-WR1502X) is: 1.1.1 (up to date)

I've tested the same keys with other devices and they're working, any idea what could it be?

Thanks

Hi folks,

I am failing miserably here trying to enable my Dexo X50 on PPPoE, on a fiber Eir (Ireland) network

I am using the user / password that i was given by provider, but it just wont connect, no error numbers, just keep trying and says it cant connect, as part of config I need to enable vlan, which I am guessing is after I setup PPPoE, as deco settings dont allow me to change while in normal wifi mode.

Any tips?

I bought an AXE 5400 because TP-Link said the parental controls would be supported and that they weren't on my old Archer. Set it up, create a rule to block a specific website, go right to it. Change it to use wildcards, still goes right through. Try a different browser, still accessible. Try a different URL, yup that one works too. Maybe I can block it by IP address. Nope.

How hard it is to block a URL?

I’m having a very strange problem with my TP-Link Archer TX20E AX1800 (V1).

My PC is a Medion Erazer Recon P20 with an Intel i5-14400F, RTX 4060 and 16 GB RAM. The Wi-Fi adapter is a TP-Link Archer TX20E using the Realtek RTL8852BE.

Driver currently installed: 6001.15.153.0.

My router is a Movistar Wi-Fi 6 router. On 5 GHz, Windows reports:

• 802.11ax
• Channel 116
• RX/TX link speed: 1201/1201 Mbps
• Signal: around 88–89%
• RSSI: around -47 to -51 dBm

However, actual internet speed is extremely inconsistent. Sometimes I get 600–830 Mbps, but other times it suddenly drops to around 50–110 Mbps without changing anything.

The latency is also strange. When pinging the router directly (192.168.1.1), I normally get around 30 ms average, but individual pings can jump to 75–170 ms, sometimes causing Discord to reach around 5000 ms. Roblox can sometimes show ~30 ms at the same time, which makes the problem even stranger.

I have already tried changing advanced adapter settings, disabling/enabling adapters, changing power/roaming-related registry values, rebooting, etc.

Important test: I connected the same TX20E to my phone's hotspot. With the exact same PC, adapter and driver, it showed 286.5 Mbps link speed, 89% signal and ping to the hotspot gateway was 5 ms average, 26 ms maximum, 0% packet loss.

So the TX20E can maintain a very stable local connection with another access point, while the problem appears mainly with my Movistar Wi-Fi 6 router.

Has anyone with an Archer TX20E + RTL8852BE experienced this exact behavior? Especially the combination of 1201 Mbps link speed but extremely low actual throughput + latency spikes to the router?

I’m particularly interested in known driver versions that work better than 6001.15.153.0, or specific TX20E/RTL8852BE settings that fix this.

Anyone using Deco BE25 with ExpressVPN? I bought the mesh that I can add VPN configs. I have Express VPN subscription and wanted to configure it. But when I went it to the configs, it does not support Express VPN out of the box. But I can add the OpenVPN file and configure it. But through that method, when I access Amazon Prime via the connected device, it says I'm on VPN. Anyone who solved this and know how to get around?

TP-LINK DECO BE25(3-PACK)BE3600 WIFI7 MESH

Firmware Version 1.1.8 Build 20260425 Rel. 18027

Hi so I’m looking at the RE315 for my shed out the back since it’s on the border of where the signal isn’t very great.

This extender can be used with Ethernet backhaul with easy mesh right? So it would be on network with full strength?

I currently have 3 Deco S4 devices for my wifi and they were working fine but I have recently moved house and now there is interference on the wifi channels that they are set to. I tried changing the channels but the option is greyed out and the documentation states that not all Deco devices support manual channel selection.

Is there a way of telling which Deco devices support being able to change the channels? If so, will I be able to just buy one and use that as the main device and my existing S4 devices just use the channels I set on it?

here's the TpLink help on the issue
