Initially I had the Google Mesh system and I thought I was doing well getting 230 Mbps. But I notice that my cell phone that was connected directly to the home wifi was getting 360 Mbps... Then it hit me... Maybe my Google system was crap. So I went out and bought this system and setup was sooooo easy took 4 mins and the speed was nearly triple going from 230 Mbps to over 630 Mbps consistently. The dip you see in the photo after the spike was me testing Hardwire vs wifi. Hardwire won by a long shot. Also I bought a best buy Cat6 cable thinking it would speed up my speed even more, but after testing turns out the ethernet cable that comes with the TP-Link delivers faster speeds consistently over the generic Best buy cable. I highly recommend.

For years and years we had always been dealing with all sorts of network issues throughout our home which consists of 4 bedrooms and a guest house. Setting up this mesh system could have not been easier, you only have to create an a Deco account and everything is such a breeze. There are tons of settings that you can play around with; from bandwidth limits to scheduling internet hours, you can do all sorts of things right from the app. Now the important part, when it comes to speed these things work flawlessly, I set these pods strategically across the property and our downloads are almost identical to being directly plugged through ethernet to our main router. I cannot recommend these pods enough if you have been struggling with connection across your property. Ps. I have attached a picture of our download speeds at the guest house which is 40 ft away from the main router.

One word - SIMPLE! This product is simplistic in all aspects from installation, setup, and operation. Download the app first as I read beforehand in reviews and everything takes care of itself. I used the star wired backhaul method (see photo below, and link here https://www.tp-link.com/us/support/faq/1794/) and have have a fantastic experience. Using a star wired backhaul allows the satellite units to concentrate all wireless signals to devices for optimal operation. Simply setup the main Deco with a wired connection to your router and then add the rest to the system wirelessly. Once all Decos are recognized in the app wire the main Deco to a switch. From that switch run a CAT5e or CAT6 to each Deco separately (Do not daisy chain). Check on the app and you will find the backhaul connection to be wired rather than wireless. This way you will have all units meshed via wire and save the wireless resources to communicating to your devices. Great connectivity and reliability. Smooth transition from Deco to Deco. App also includes security options for free…take advantage of that! Highly recommend this system.
