“Will this system eliminate dead spots in my old 3 floor home with tough to penetrate walls (cement, plaster with metal lath), or do I need a quad-band system to do that?”

This system should do the job. Just make sure you work on your placement a bit. No need for Quad-Band.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hi Sedgwick, Metal lath in your walls is a significant barrier to Wi-Fi signals—it acts much like a Faraday cage, effectively blocking radio waves. This is especially true for the newer, high-frequency Wi-Fi bands (5 GHz and 6 GHz), which are easily disrupted by physical materials, particularly metal. To ensure your system works reliably, we strongly recommend taking advantage of the Ethernet Backhaul feature of your Deco Mesh System. This involves connecting your Deco units with Ethernet cables. This wired connection will bypass the wireless blockage caused by the metal lath, allowing the system to maintain a strong link between units and dedicating its wireless strength to connecting devices like your phones and computers. We would encourage you to visit our Official TP-Link Community Forum, where you can discuss your home's layout, Wi-Fi coverage, and speed needs, ask questions, and interact with our TP-Link Systems Staff or other TP-Link users who will be happy to help. Best Regards, TP-Link Systems Support
