Our verdict
A cheap AX3000 Wi-Fi 6 mesh with gigabit ports that is fine for a typical terraced or semi. It is dual band so backhaul is shared with client traffic, which limits it in bigger houses. Home Assistant coverage is via a community add-on, not an official integration.
What can Home Assistant control on the TP-Link Deco X50 (2-Pack)?
No core Home Assistant integration covers Deco. The community HACS integration tplink_deco (amosyuen/ha-tplink-deco) polls locally for device trackers and CPU/memory diagnostics plus a reboot service, but it is in maintenance mode and one community report says it broke after HA 2026.3.4; the separate tplink_router custom integration is not Deco-specific. Treat presence tracking as best effort. Support for the X50 specifically was not verified.
