Works very well without an external antenna. Unfortunately, I have not yet found a suitable external antenna.
Bad timing :'(

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.

No, there is no longer any danger here. The decos were not affected either: https://www.heise.de/news/Sicherheitsupdates-Unbefugte-Zugriffe-auf-TP-Link-Router-moeglich-9297306.html and the list of affected devices: https://jvn.jp/en/vu/JVNVU99392903/
Decos are not listed.

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.
Yes, the WIFI is gone...

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.

IMHO no, the device works with a 9V power supply.
Unfortunately, the router does not support built-in VPN:

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.

To use a mesh network with the Deco X50-5G and the X50 Deco devices, you do not necessarily have to connect the X50-5G to the X50 Deco devices by cable. Instead, you can use the X50-5G as a central device and connect the X50 Deco devices to it wirelessly to extend the Wi-Fi network. The X50 Deco devices communicate with each other via the mesh network to ensure a seamless connection. So you don't need any additional cable connections between the devices.

Yes, the router is well suited for TV streaming.
The Deco X50-5G supports Wi-Fi 6, which enables high speeds of up to 2402 Mbps in the 5 GHz band and 574 Mbps in the 2.4 GHz band. These speeds are ideal for streaming applications, including 4K and even 8K streaming, without any delays or interruptions.
In addition, mesh technology ensures that the signal remains strong and stable in every area of your home, which is important for an uninterrupted streaming experience.

It is not directly possible to set the operating time of the Wi-Fi for the TP-Link Deco X50-5G via the web interface. However, you can use the Deco app to prioritise devices and time their connections, which offers a similar function. For specific schedules, you may need to use other functions such as automation to achieve similar results.

The router should generally work with a Yallo SIM card, as it is compatible with most SIM cards worldwide. However, you must ensure that the Yallo SIM card can be used in Germany under roaming. You should ask Yallo whether roaming is supported in Germany and whether there are any special settings you need to make. You should also activate the data roaming function in the Deco app to ensure that the connection also works outside the regular network area.

The Deco X50-5G is designed to deliver superior 5G performance thanks to its powerful antennas and Qualcomm Snapdragon X62 modem. Even if you're getting speeds of 300-400Mbps on your iPhone, the Deco X50-5G could potentially improve on those speeds due to its more powerful antennas and ability to maintain a stable connection, especially if the antenna is positioned well near you. However, actual speeds will depend on 5G coverage in your area and signal quality.

To operate the TP-Link Deco X50-5G device, you only need a conventional power connection for the power supply. After inserting the SIM card and connecting the device to a power socket, you can use the device without any problems.
No additional connections are required in your home, unless you want to use optional Ethernet cables for a wired connection or external antennas for better 5G/4G signal quality.

The Wi-Fi on the TP-Link Deco X50-5G Wi-Fi 6 Mesh Router cannot be permanently deactivated. Here are some important points to note:
- The Deco X50-5G does not support complete deactivation of the WLAN. There is no option to switch off the Wi-Fi permanently, even after restarting the device.
- Some models have an ECO mode or Wi-Fi scheduling that allows the Wi-Fi to be switched off according to a schedule, but this is not a permanent solution.
- Deactivating the Wi-Fi via the system parameters in the web interface is only temporary and is reactivated after a restart.
If you only want to use the device as a 5G modem with a wired connection, the last option is to remove the antennas manually, but this is not recommended as it may affect the warranty and functionality of the device.
