Cricklewood Wi-Fi Upgrade: How We Replaced Orbi 7 With Deco XE75 Pro for 912 Mbps Speeds

Problem (Cricklewood, NW2)

A homeowner requested a Cricklewood Wi-Fi upgrade because their Netgear Orbi 7 mesh system was failing throughout the property. They reported:

• Frequent Wi-Fi dropouts
• Unstable coverage upstairs
• Barely 2–5 Mbps in the garden room
• Buffering on smart devices and streaming
• Issues whether the Orbi satellites were wired or wireless

The customer was paying for fast broadband, but the existing system wasn’t delivering anything close to it.

Fix

To complete this Cricklewood Wi-Fi upgrade, we replaced the entire Orbi setup with a TP-Link Deco XE75 Pro mesh system. This Wi-Fi 6E system delivers stronger, more consistent performance across extended homes.

What we installed:

• Full removal of all Orbi units
• Installation and configuration of the Deco XE75 Pro
• Placement optimisation for maximum coverage
• Migration of all home devices to the new network
• Speed testing in key rooms to confirm stability

Result

The transformation from this Cricklewood Wi-Fi upgrade was instant.

In the garden room — previously the worst area — speeds improved dramatically:

• Before (Orbi 7): 2–5 Mbps
• After (Deco XE75 Pro): 912 Mbps

Streaming, remote working, smart devices and gaming are now stable across the entire home.

Why We Replaced Orbi With Deco XE75 Pro

Many homeowners request a Cricklewood Wi-Fi upgrade after struggling with Orbi performance in UK homes. Common issues include:

• Over-aggressive band steering
• Weak backhaul performance
• Latency spikes
• Firmware instability
• Poor handling of hop distances in large or extended homes

The Deco XE75 Pro typically delivers more stable, predictable performance — especially in London homes with loft conversions, extensions and garden rooms.
