I can only imagine achieving a slight reduction here to a limited extent.
An outdoor model would be better here.
The question is how the devices in the house want to connect to it. If it happens via WLAN, it makes little difference. Especially if it already works as it is.
If a connection is primarily required via LAN, you can also use the Fritz.Box 6860 5g.
Yes, you can use 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz at the same time, as it is a dual-band router. Your devices automatically connect to the appropriate band (2.4 GHz for old devices, 5 GHz for fast ones), but share the same SSID and password - separation is not possible due to the mesh technology.
For separate bands, you can activate a guest network that allows 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz to be used separately.
The WLAN range is up to 230 m² with a 1-pack for 1-3 room flats, thanks to TP-Link Mesh technology and multiple antennas.
Hello
I have read that this is the best antenna. But I have the Nedis ANOR5G20WT. It costs a third and delivers 400 Mb/s down and 100-150 Mb/s up on the sunrise network with a direct view of the radio mast.
I have it installed without a direct view (there is a house in between) and have approx. 100-150 Mb/s during the day and up to 350 Mb/s down at night from bedtime. Uploading is stable between 60 and 80 Mb/s.
The supplier is Sunrise (Galaxus Mobile)
According to my research and the manufacturer's specifications, the router has a "bridge mode". If the "version" refers to the hardware version, we unfortunately cannot guarantee which version will be supplied. As long as there are still copies of previous hardware versions in circulation, there is a chance that you will receive one.
Preferably none at all - the Deco generally behaves much better indoors without an antenna and also copes well with reflections / attenuation. I installed a Poynting directional aerial and had to return it, unusable
Hello,
I have exactly this configuration at home, where I have connected my PS5 and my TV (Netflix, YouTube, etc.) directly to the box via a cable and everything works very well without latency, with a 5G signal of 4/5 (in town).
Best regards
Yes, a pure bridge mode is possible so that you can leave the WiFi to your ASUS Mesh. The Deco X50-5G supports bridge mode, in which it acts purely as a modem and does not perform any mesh or router functions. Note that in bridge mode, no mesh functionality with other Deco devices and no firmware updates are possible. It is important to note that this function is primarily available for hardware version V1 with firmware 1.1.5; there is currently no clear support or date for Bridge Mode for the V2 version.
As a Wi-Fi router without a SIM card, the device cannot be used directly as a Wi-Fi repeater for an existing Wi-Fi network (e.g. from a campsite). It is primarily designed as a 5G router with a SIM card to provide Internet via the mobile network.
The Deco X50-5G does not support a direct connection to the campsite's Wi-Fi network in order to pass this on to several devices via its own router as a standard function. The device is not designed to log into an existing WLAN as a client and then pass it on as an access point.
The Deco X50-5G is therefore not suitable if you only want to buy access to the campsite's WLAN and then distribute it to several devices via the router. It needs its own internet source, ideally a 5G SIM card, to set up its own Wi-Fi to which you can then connect multiple devices.
To summarise:
- The router does not work as a Wi-Fi repeater or client that redistributes an external Wi-Fi network without a SIM card.
- It is intended for operation with a 5G SIM card to set up its own Wi-Fi.
- This model is not suitable for using the campsite Wi-Fi with only one access point and distribution to multiple devices.
So if you only want to use the campsite's Wi-Fi on campsites, you have to buy an access point for each device there or use another device that explicitly functions as a Wi-Fi repeater/client for existing Wi-Fi.
Hello, yes I bought the sen router and have installed a second Sunrise SIM card. Works perfectly, easy configuration via APP or web interface. I use the 5G router as a mobile internet connection in a holiday flat. 55" TV, Netflix, surfing etc. also runs perfectly via this router. Has got stuck twice in 8 months. Power off/on and OK again.
This router works by using a 4G/5G SIM card to connect to the Internet via the mobile network, ideal for a cottage without fibre optics but with good 5G coverage. Yes, you need to take out a mobile subscription with an operator and insert the SIM card into the router to access the Internet.
The router has a SIM card slot and can be configured in 4G/5G router mode using the Deco application. Once the SIM card has been inserted and activated, it creates a high-performance Wi-Fi 6 network throughout the home, with speeds of up to 2402 Mbit/s at 5 GHz and 574 Mbit/s at 2.4 GHz.
To sum up, to use this router in a cottage without fibre :
- Take out a 4G/5G mobile subscription with a compatible SIM card.
- Insert the SIM card in the router.
- Configure the router using the Deco application.
- Enjoy a high-performance Wi-Fi mesh network thanks to built-in Wi-Fi 6 and 5G technology.
The router is simlock-free, i.e. it is not tied to a specific mobile phone provider. You can insert and use any SIM card. There are functions for SIM PIN management and network band blocking (cell lock), but no restrictions due to a SIM lock.
The Deco X50-5G is equipped with two RP-SMA connectors (female) for optional external mobile antennas, enabling 5G signals to be enhanced. For best performance, we recommend installing two external antennas compatible with the device's working frequencies.
