"Worked flawlessly from setup and haven’t had to tweak the system at all."
"I have setup three Eero mesh systems for family members. They are super easy to setup and maintain. ... It has been set it and forget it for over three years now. These are installed in houses with users who are 65+."
"My mom actually installed it herself with no problem. ... If you’re not familiar with networking it’s great system."

"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"
"if I connect to the MLO network (WiFi 7) I get nearly max speeds my isp offers."
"Finally, nothing drops, everything is fast and solid, the devices themselves are now the bottleneck."

"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."

"faster speeds with a wired back call mesh system ... Paying for one gig down and could barely get 500 on an iPhone 16 Pro Max… With this one I’m getting 1100 down which is amazing."
"tplink just works ... I follow up with my customers each month and they say everything is much better and working great. I only hardwire nodes, never wireless, and I buy the wifi6e versions- I’m not saying tplink is better than Unifi, just saying a hardwired network and wifi where you need it is the recipe."
"I have a TP link Deco with all nodes hardwired it works brilliantly."

"I returned mine because it was very minimally configurable. ... It wouldn't even let me set it up without internet access, and I wanted to use it in an offline lab. ... That said, it's probably fine for regular users if you have no intention of ever digging into things."
"UI wise? the thing sucks. ... there's just so many basic things you can't do. ... for starters, all the administration has to be done from a mobile app. ... the web based "admin" page just has some basic diagnostics and no ability to configure anything."
"Once I moved away from the FRITZ stuff I finally got options to fix buffer bloat and do proper QoS."

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 ->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. ->Deco user here, have 4 nodes, all Sonos devices on wifi. Works like a charm out of the box.
r/sonos • Mesh network recommendations ->No issues with band switching, bands are combined and it looks like all speakers are connected via 5ghz. If you are connecting the Deco to a ISP provided modem / router you will need to set the ISP product into bridge mode.
r/sonos • Mesh network recommendations ->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??? ->Agree, Deco mesh is very good, took a bit of adjusting in my flat - the walls seemed to be lined with lead.
r/DIYUK • Do these power line extenders really work ? ->Deco. Asus has done me dirty too many times to EVER buy something from them again. Don't warranty me twice. Get out of my house.
r/BuyItForLife • Looking for Wi-Fi Router Recommendations! ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
