In my opinion the best easy to setup device for wifi mesh networks, the setup is very intuitive and specific describing step be step everything, i usually does not like to setup wifi products trough an app i preffer web browser "old fashion" but mesh syatems rarely has this option. The Deco app is simply amazing. The system works flawleslly and for the price is unbeatable, i paid about hundred for one router and 2 satellites.The only cons at least for me is that the performance is not so powerfull as i expected wich is understandable at this price point.I have 400MB of download and other mesh devices and routers i testes reach this speed. The deco system goes about 250MB for the router and 150MB for the satelites, wich is not bad and this covers the majority of needs for a wifi network, streaming gaming etc. But i want more, latency was great and the performance overall, but is not for me, i want close to 400mb wich i reach with othwr devices i tested.Another plus is this system cames with a free access to control your network, what devices are connected, ban pause or control the wifi, even give high priority to certain devices on the network. Very professional and free, the majority of companies charge you to have acces to manage your network wich in my opnion is a scam.Very recommended product. Just if you have a really high speed, try another high end Deco, more expensive and Wifi 6 capable. If i get one i will post my impresions about it.

I've been searching for a solution to my wifi problem for years and the Deco system has done it!I own a 1600 sq ft home and have both a 1000 sq ft barn and a 640 sq ft metal backyard bar behind it. Unfortunately, my internet enters my home at the furthest possible spot away from both of the other buildings. I've tried wifi extenders and various other combinations to try to broadcast my signal to them with very little luck. When I would happen to catch it would be intermittent at best... and that wasnt very often.I was about to finally break down and run aerial cat-6 to the other structures -- something I've avoided for years because it very seldomly looks nice. I've also avoided doing direct burial because I do tons of gardening and landscaping and am always digging up the yard for one or the other. Luckily, I tried out the mesh technology and it solved everything. It easily tosses my signal across my home and out into the other structures, including the metal bar which normally has trouble receiving or transmitting signal from anything -- including mobile data on my phone.In fact, I loved the mesh setup so much I ended up buying additional units and added to it "just in case" there were any deadzones I may have missed. Since then, I've walked around my property, which is about 10,000 sq ft total, and found that I catch great signal everywhere.Pros: I love the fact that it's a seamless connection as I bounce around the property, no longer having to wait for extenders or a router to reconnect.The units are aesthetically pleasing and don't stick out like sore thumbs. There's various options as you look across the product line, but each one is minimalistic and can be placed in plain sight without an issue.Setup was straightforward with the app.Much cheaper than the alternatives and I can't fathom paying more for the other company's branding when I know how well these units from TP-Link work.I have a Plex server and the mesh makes it a breeze to transmit data "in network" so that the quality is original and it doesn't affect my data cap.Cons: none yet.

I installed this kit to replace a (premium at the time) linksys AC3200 tri-band router.although this mesh kit uses the technically a slower AC1200 standard, It has proven itself much more reliable and faster overall in my 1200sqft 1940s house with a weird floorplan and thick plaster walls. it's not perfect and I sometimes get a second of buffering every day or two with my otherwise-fast cable modem, but it's still a huge improvement.one thing that I didn't like about this TP link router-- It uses a weird nonstandard DHCP range: 192.168.64.x and it required a firmware update to switch to a standard 192.168.1.1. Most users wouldn't notice this, but if you've got a bunch of servers in your house and you address them all by IP address, it might make switching to this system more trouble than it needs to be.one thing I really like about this system--all the TP link DECO products are interoperable. you could use this system and if you decide later that you need a wired backhaul for more bandwidth on the other side of the house, you can add another deco M4R or deco M9 and run one ethernet cable to have a super strong mesh network. Some kits like the google wifi support a wired backhaul out of the box but they're a lot more expensive and if your house doesn't have wired ethernet all over or you don't plan on running a wired backhaul, you probably won't see any speed difference between this kit and google's wifi.Wired backhaul will speed up any mesh system significantly as the mesh speed is only as fast as the connected peer's wifi connection which can vary depending if you have good locations for the deco m3 mesh range extenders.One interesting option I found this while researching this system-- if you're looking for a wired backhaul but don't want to run any ethernet cables; the deco P9 supports powerline-ethernet which sends data through hour house's wall plugs (and still also through mesh 2.4ghz and 5ghz wifi). There are very few drawbacks to choosing such a system except for the price; although it's still competitive against google wifi; and some houses with old wiring or multiple circuit breaker panels might not be able to benefit from powerline ethernet; but you should consider if it's right for you.My internet connection is about 90 megabits wired and I usually see around 88 megabits over the deco M3/M4R mesh wifi. In the worst areas of the house where I had almost no signal before I'm getting no less than 35 megabits and usually over 60.I'm sure this system is capable of greater than 100megabit speeds but my internet connection is simply not fast enough to test that aspect. The TP-Link kit gives decent speed everywhere in my house and even my large backyard, and my driveway. The box says this kit is good for 4,500 sqft although I'm not so sure about that. I'd estimate that It's probably good for 2500sqft in new construction or 2000sqft in older homes (with thick walls).You could certainly spend more for a mesh wifi kit, but this system can meet a lot of people's needs and with the WIFI6 standard on the horizon, this TP link system might be all you need. My wifi coverage is strong and reaches literally every corner of my house. My network SSID is "Free Public WiFi" (with a password of course because I'm just plain evil) I'm confident that with this strong coverage, neighbors can at least see the SSID at least a few doors down.
