Hi guys, I have 2 pcs of x50 for my 2400 sqft house, one upstairs one downstairs, so far it’s good enough. However for my cctv require lan cable and it’s very disgusting to pull cable over, coz the position of my downstairs mesh is near entrance, quite distant from my tv+cctv dvr, about 20-25ft apart.

Should I get another x50 or two? Will having 4 be overkilling or impacting performance? The price for two pack is worth more than single.

Get another unit of Deco X50 and connect it to your DVR.

But just bear in mind DVR consumes a ton of bandwidth and might cause congestion to the mesh backhaul.

Ok, my thought was using 4th one LAN to my working laptop and gaming pc. But so far using wifi is good enough.

Even if it’s not used, it’ll consume bandwidth? As in, not streaming it, just recording to storage without internet connectivity.

You will have to test it. Some CCTV DVRs are known to broadcast non-stop on the network.

i think mine is not non-stop. bought another unit of x50, and got it working

on the deco app there's no activity, 0kbps down and up when not in used

anyway thanks, doesnt really impact my day to day usage. all good now.. got it at huge discount. +/- RM280 for one unit.
