This is awesome. I use to have dead spots and low WiFi connection all over my house. Now I have WiFi with a stronger connection the ever. It went from less than 100 MBPS to 187 MBPS all over my house.

We find that we have to reset the system randomly when there is heavy use, which is a bit frustrating.

Easiest Setup Ever!

This is a fantastic concept! It is a hybrid of a Wi-Fi router, and a Range Extender.
It is important to understand what this router is and what it is not. The main difference between this, and a standard Wi-Fi router is convenience. The idea is to have a very simple to setup, use, and manage Wi-Fi solution in your home. Consequently, the iPhone/Android Deco app used to control this device is very basic. If you are looking for more advanced features (e.g. Web GUI, VPN server, Port Forwarding, FTP Server, etc.), then this Wi-Fi solution may not be for you. With that said, it's not to say that there are no advanced features at all. In fact, you can setup a guest network, adjust the QOS, parental controls, remote network management, and automatic updates to name a few. You can also customize each device with different prioritization and rules.
Setup was a breeze. I was up and running in under 10 minutes (including a firmware and antivirus update). Given their size, you can tuck them away on a shelf, hang them on a wall, or leave them on a desk like traditional Wi-Fi routers. The Deco app guided me in placing each unit in the best possible spot.
Now for the performance. These Wi-Fi routers exceeded my expectations in my coverage and range tests. I was able to max out my internet speed in every corner of my house (even in awkward far reaching places). One aspect I also really tested a lot was the “seamless Wi-Fi” experience. I wanted to see how well these Wi-Fi routers performed with me moving around the house, handling the handover traffic. I did not notice any lag/drops/freezing whilst doing these tests.
Another big bonus with these Wi-Fi routers is the included antivirus. Unlike a standalone antivirus SW, all traffic and all devices are protected. It even updates itself!
Overall, I am very pleased with the performance, range, and ease of setup for these Wi-Fi routers.

Best router I've owned and I buy flagship models

This is an awesome idea. One router with a range of 4500sqft is nowhere close to as useful as three strategical placed synced routers with 1500sqft. With this setup you limit the amount or resistance you will incur from walls, other structures.
Setup is easy. You download the app and in 5-10 minutes, you will have a amazing Wi-Fi network up and running.
I was able to basically max out my upload and download speeds from Verizon running at only 2-3% under max capability. I think this max be the closest I’ve gotten to max on a Wi-Fi router.
It also comes with anti-virus software which I like. You get all the normal great parental controls, guest controls and more with this system. I love TP-Link because their router configuration menus are easy to navigate and configure as desired. If you’re not tech savvy you don’t have to worry because TP-Link offers 24hr customer service and will gladly walk you through anything you need to know. I only called them once for another device but my experience was a pleasure.
I’ve owned a lot of routers and extenders but this 3 identical router system with 4500sqft is my favorite. I’d recommend this to anyone who has a large area they want to have strong Wi-Fi.

Thi was super simple to set-up. It provides fast, reliable wifi all over the house. It is way more effective than my range-extenders.
Also, they look very chic too. They are not bulky at all and they are easy to move around the house, so they are extremely portable. Make sure you follow the setup instructions exactly as in instruction, so you might not have any troubles. Overall a good product that works well.

TP link has knocked it out of the park. This system is amazing. No more buffering while streaming. I work from home and not getting any more dropped connections. The range is amazing. I can easily get connected at my pool and in my woods. LOVE this. BUY IT
