"with a big house we always had issues with coverage before that's non-existent now"
"Actually better than a range extender, as Mesh systems are designed from the ground up to work with each other in the system. ... But it's half ass "patched up" jerky jerky mesh was no match to a Deco. Deco was snappier, more reliable, and longer range."
"The coverage is excellent. I have a 2 storey 175sqm house and it covers almost everything."

"I’ve got around 20 devices connected (phones, smart TV, laptops, even a couple of smart plugs) and it hasn’t choked once"
"internal connections for example i use Sunshine & Moonlight to game stream to my living room TV or my bedroom projector and I get the full 2.5gig speed test to my desktop from the tv, projector and my phone that are on wifi"
"I download 50tb a month on my server and steam Plex to nearly ten simultaneous users this way. Never had any issues relating to the wifi side of it."

"2000sq ft split level, but I got it with 3 bases and particularly for the Ethernet back haul as I have one unit in a shed about 75 ft from my house that I ran Ethernet to. (Shed is a converted game space for tabletop gaming)."
"Became FANTASTIC once I strung some ethernet cables among four of them including the one serving as a router in strategic locations (our house is rather large and some walls contain metal lathe). ... We now always have excellent connectivity and fast roaming."
"i noticed a BIG improvement once i conected all my decos via ethernet. ... it was a game changer, i use smart products from different brands and now i don't have any issues with disconections!! ... Some meross plugs disconected all the time before wiring my decos, now they work flawless!"

"perfect for gaming, streaming, and working without annoying dropouts"
"I do own TUF AX6000 and its QoS is almost perfect with SQM cake on a gigabit WAN. ... SQM with some hardware offloading works well on this device at least up to 1.5Gbps/1.5Gbps (down/up)."
"I've been enjoying 300mbps in every room"

"I can put it up by myself in less than 5 minutes."
"Goes up super fast"
"the whole setup process was almost… suspiciously easy lol ... The app basically walks you through everything and even my not-so-techy partner figured it out when I wasn’t home ... it was wild how simple it was. I kept waiting for something to go wrong but it just… didn’t!"

"But alas, the handover between the eero's was incredibly slow. ... If using them in their separate rooms, as 2 independent WiFi units, fine. But if having them as mesh, as previously mentioned, one needs to be upstream."
"The mesh can be unreliable. ... After a disconnect it can a long time to reconnect."
"I had a lot of issues walking around the house and the switching between nodes taking a long time or unable to get a full Internet access once reconnected."

"I had a Netgear Nighthawk router that ended up getting a bug in it after a firmware upgrade. ... The bug didn't allow me to filter by MAC address. ... I had to end up actually editing the HTML of the router page to get it to work. ... It was a known issue on Netgear's website for years, but they never fixed it."
"frequently fails to deliver advertised features or function reliably"

"random disconnects that made me want to pull my hair out"
"However, even after a firmware upgrade it kept losing connection. Sometimes up to six times per day."
"No matter how I configure them, I constantly lose Wi-Fi connection. ... On my iPhone, the signal bars jump from 1 to 4 and back again and I’m sitting in the near of the GT190000BE."

"throughput just randomly drops to 1kbps"
"Before holiday I was full wired backhaul and most fancy stuff turned off but still I was facing issues. ... The firmware resulted in worse reliability. Family switched to cellular and hot spotting."
"It’s a good system…..until your modem looses internet and the whole LAN side of your network stops functioning. ... When the internet goes down, Deco gets confused and the general response is that the LAN also goes down until internet is restored."

"Can confirm. Have Deco. Am miserable."

"TP Link Deco definitely requires an app and an account"
No reason to use an Archer if you want to use mesh anyway. Just use the Deco as your router as well for less devices, less cost, more streamlined. Deco or Eero are usually what I recommend for friends that want mesh.
r/HomeNetworking • Advice on getting a router + mesh system ->I just replaced my Google nest with this https://www.costco.com/tp-link-deco-be11000-wi-fi-7-tri-band-whole-home-mesh-wi-fi-system%2C-3-pack.product.4000251424.html?COSTID=iosapp_25.8.2&TRACKING=NO&adobe_mc=TS%3D1756864010%7CMCMID%3D69329033381048972676268364342069081517%7CMCORGID%3D97B21CFE5329614E0A490D45@AdobeOrg&sh=true&nf=true You just missed the $50 off sale…
r/HomeNetworking • Mesh network recommendation for home with plaster walls? ->Yep all absolutely true. I ended up trying to downsize and optimize picks but the lag and need for content reboots remained. Switched over to Decos and never looked back. Incredibly fast solid coverage throughout and no downtime. Light years better.
r/GoogleWiFi • Google WiFi is garbage. Need advice on alternative mesh, please help! ->Not sure if you are mixing product lines, the Archer BE550 works with [easy mesh devices](https://www.tp-link.com/us/easymesh/product-list/). The TP link Deco BE11000 is a different mesh product line and would not be compatible. You could still use it as an access point, but it would not work as a proper mesh system. You are better off buying a 2 pack TP link deco BE11000 instead of mixing it with the BE550. To make things confusing there is also a more powerful Archer BE11000 router that is easy mesh compatible and can be used with the BE550.
r/HomeNetworking • Is it really compulsory to have 2 wifi mesh for it to function? ->Sounds like you probably want a mesh system. Maybe one with three or more APs (one where the internet comes in the house then two elsewhere) A lot of them work as routers too, but I use mine in AP mode as I have a PFsense router I put together. If your actual router is okay you could get a mesh system and just use it in AP mode. My setup is Modem(virgin hub) > PFsense > switches and stuff > APs Mine are TP-Link Decos. They're pretty reliable and not too expensive but there's loads to choose from. If I had the money I'd like some Ubiquiti ones but honestly I don't have any issues with the Decos. I can't say anything about their router mode though as I've never used it. Tenda is another popular brand but I haven't tried it myself
r/HomeNetworking • Network with 3 access points ->I highly recommend the [TP-Link Wi-Fi 7 Tri-Band Mesh System](https://www.reddit.com/user/unwelcome_frown15/comments/1jxaza0/mesh_wifi_system_recommendations/). It offers blazing fast speeds, low latency, and rock-solid coverage, great for large homes or demanding smart setups. Future-proof too with Wi-Fi 7 support.
r/HomeNetworking • What is the Best WiFi Mesh System for Home? 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 ->Works fine. Not a single issue
r/tmobileisp • Debating returning to T-Mobile, but I have a TP-Link Deco mesh setup and I'm wondering if anyone has any experience or anecdotes regarding this setup. ->Go for Mesh! And get yourself a Deco. Amazing experience
r/IndiaTech • Mesh wifi vs Extendor ->I have a deco, nothing but trouble. Read the tp link subreddit about dropped connections. If you work from home this is not for you
r/BuyItForLife • Best mesh wifi system recommendations ->Deco here as well and never have any Sonos issues, 160square metre house so I have 3 decos to cover it.
r/sonos • Recommendations for good base-only WiFi router to use with Sonos system??? ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
