"saucony peregrines i like alot ... usually can find good prices ... got a pair on amazon for 50 bucks that was the 13s which r their best year haha"
"Mine has already been making this summer way more bearable than the last. ... It's very worth it for the amount of comfort it affords. I appreciate being able to think about things besides how overheated I am on a warm day. ... Yeah the high summer temps are savage. I cannot operate like that. I'd happily pay hundreds a month to keep my apartment cool when it's 30+ out, at a cost of tens it's not even a question."
"This is exactly what we do too. No point blasting the hvac in the entire house when the only room we want really cold is the bedroom. Has saved us a lot on the energy bill!"

"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."
"I have a primary and secondary mesh access points. The primary is in the house and the secondary is in another small building about 80ft away with no problems."
"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."

"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."

"I have deco P9 which uses the power line within the house,got them in about 2020 ,they need rebooting every 6 months absolutely solid."
"TP Link Deco P9. Mesh wifi with additional powerline backhaul. Best of both worlds. ... combines powerline with mesh wifi. Achieved a very robust and quick network in my old stone built property."
"I noticed a BIG improvement once i conected all my decos via ethernet. ... I hate cables but 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!"

"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."

"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."

"frequently fails to deliver advertised features or function reliably"
"The tplink’s I bought say they support mesh but once setup as a mesh they lose features. ... So the mesh isn’t worth using. ... The mesh setup is a half baked. You can’t use all the wifi features when setup as a mesh."
"I 'upgraded' to a deco system months ago, unaware that this is meant for the average user and advanced features are crippled, e.g. browser config is minimal as they want you to use the app. ... No luck querying the DHCP reservations from a script."

"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."
"I have a deco, nothing but trouble. Read the tp link subreddit about dropped connections."
"We started with a TP-Link BE95 setup and ended up returning them because of the device and internet drops. ... However, we still suffered lots and constant internet drops."
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 ->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! ->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 ->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??? ->I replaced my three XE75s with three BE95s a year ago. For six or seven months the 95s were extremely stable, but something started happening in September and I’ve had stability and speed problems since. A month ago I received an apology out of the blue from ATT that said a software update had caused my internet equipment to have “connectivity hiccups” and that it had been rectified. After that, I still had speed issues from the internet and also within my home network. I finally called TP Link customer service and after running through the drill with no success, a young lady with a firm understandable voice asked me to check my QoS settings. (I didn’t know I had QoS or settings.) The bandwidth was set to 800. Which apparently cut all my speeds to 800 or less… And along with it my stability was terrible. I have a 2gb fiber plan and 10gb wiring and switches in the house. I flipped the bandwidth setting to 2500 which is the BE95’s max. It’s been golden ever since! I’m back to being a BE95 fan again.
r/TpLink • BE85’s / 95’s are on sale in the US and I am having such a hard time deciding… ->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.
