Customer Ratings & Reviews

ISP: Spectrum w 1Gbps down, 40Mbps up
 Tested in 800sqft apartment (2b with living room into between- main and one node about 30’ apart, 3rd node about 10’ after that, all have direct line of sight to each other. Likely getting interference from other apartment units)

Wired connection speed (typical windows desktop): 850Mbps

 Wireless (using 14” 2021 MacBook Pro): 
Same room as master: 420Mbps down, 31Mbps up, 17ms ping
 1 room away (about 10’ from mesh node): 320Mbps down, 30Mbps up, 17ms ping
 2 rooms away (about 10’ from mesh node): 210Mbps down, 28 Mbps up, 20ms ping

 Wireless on other devices: 
Xbox Series X (in living room, about 20’ from master node, right below 70” TV): 158Mbps down, 40Mbps up, 29ms Playstation 5 (in living room, about 20’ from master node, right below 70” TV): 80Mbps down (tested multiple times to be sure), 28.5Mbps up, ??ms ping
 Apple TV 4K (2020) (in living room, about 20’ from master node, right below 70” TV): 201Mbps down, 36Mbps upload, 23ms 

Notes: - WiFi signal will randomly drop from time to time on all devices. Likely this is due to devices unsuccessfully moving between mesh nodes despite being stationary… had the same issue with Google WiFi. - Has web UI at master node’s IP address, but interface there can do next to nothing. Like Eero, everything has to be done through the app, and the app is less than intuitive, and quite ugly. You have to go 3 menus deep to even see IP addresses. Conclusion: I’ve tested nearly every WiFi mesh on the market in this apartment, and they all perform comparably. I think interference from other people’s WiFi networks is to blame, since there are nearly 20 other WiFi networks in the same building clearly visible to all my devices, though I really expected this to outperform my Orbi RBK20 Wifi 5 routers that I’ve now been through 3 other routers trying to replace (all at twice the price, even on sale).

 However, Deco and Google are the only ones to have the issue where connection will drop due to confusion around which mesh node to connect to, and frankly, WiFi needs to be more stable than that. I can’t be running a 2 day long database transfer job and just lose connection whenever, nor do I want to get kicked out of games, dropped from Zoom calls, or just generally annoyed by sudden lack of internet. If other brands are comparable in performance, I really can’t overlook this. 

Lastly, the lack of web interface administration, when combine with a very mediocre app, this will drive tech enthusiasts nuts. I’ve become a bit spoiled by Netgear Orbi’s app, but where TP Link is also a real network hardware company, I really expected better. 

Planning to return this when I have time.

 tips: 
- If you get a consistent 90-100Mbps on ethernet (wire), then the wire is bad. If the wire is damaged, most computers will cap the speed at 100Mbps to prevent issues. 
- Mirrors, metal structures, large electronics, and large quantities of water (including human bodies) will interfere with WiFi, so try to set up nodes a few feet from such things, and if you imagine a line between the WiFi mesh nodes, don’t put any of these things in that line. 
- Other WiFi networks overlapping with yours will cause interference. Your WiFi will attempt to use a different channel to avoid this, but there are a very finite number of them. This is a huge issue in apartments. 
- Most devices do not yet have WiFi 6 cards. The only ones I own that do are M1 Mac products, and the PS5.

Deco mesh system works great. I had geek squad install it, good choice.

Took awhile to get this hooked up but once it was up and running it works great.

used to get wifi coverage on a bridk wall office building. ISP router would not reach the opposite corner of the building and this made it easy to get full speed all over the place.

Good product works well very satisfied and a reasonable price compared to comparable setups

easy setup, works great, eliminated the dead zones

Easy Configuration, Internet Fast in all home!!!!!

Very easy to set up, reasonably powerful with decent security

Got this system because my wifi wouldn't reach certain spots in my house, install went relatively easy and quick and within 30 minutes or so i had better coverage all through my house

The mesh system was easy to set up and it took lees than 3 minutes for it to up and running. I am able to see what devices that are connected to our network and it lets me know when a new device is connected. Great product for the price.

It was very easy to set up. Using in my home and pole barn.

Works great for my home size of 3500 sqft. I have not seen any issues.

This Wi-Fi extender works great me and my family love it

They above their weight class. Work well. Not up to performance of the high-end Eeros and Netgears, but great value

TP Link makes exceptional products, both residential and commercial/pro level. I deal with them on a daily basis. I have these in my house, and couldn't be happier!!! Coverage WAAYYYYYY beyond my walls and 1 ACRE yard, so make sure you know how to setup good security, hide your SSID, strong passwords, etc...

Good mesh system. Gives the coverage i wanted through the house and around the yard. Only negative i have is that in irder to really configure it you have to do it through the app. Very little options when you login using a browser.

They were very easy to setup, I got these to replace older set of 3 mesh routers and actually am only using two to cover the house with much better wifi coverage and speed. I definitely recommend these.

Entire home is connected with wifi no zero gaps, no lag with sons gaming . Perfect for a home 2400 sq ft.

I'm very pleased with this mesh system. Super easy to connect. Recommend using the same name/password as your same network setup prior so it doesn't create a duel network. Coverage is stellar.

Awesome does what it suppose to do way better than expected would recommend
