"My Portal now connects and works amazing. Fast connection, zero lag."
"I did that and my Google home has never had a disconnect since."
"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 was able to cover a 3 level house using two units (one of the ground floor and second mounted near the roof of second floor near the stairs. This covers all 3 floors completely."
"It takes 3 decos to cover 5500 sq ft. That’s what I have. Took about 5 of the crappy Linksys ones. Got rid of those."
"I myself have a deco and we have four modules through a long rambly ranch house and we have nearly 300 MB per second everywhere because we have about 1 GB per second fiber to the house."

"It’s easy and reliable. ... This is all really easy to set up in my experience, and it just works."

"It's not great / weaker then the tp link deco meshing setup i was using before. Lower connection speed and more frequent disconnects."
"performance worse than when I was just using a router"

"rubbish app that won't let you change settings 9 times out of 10"
"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."
MeatInteresting1090 0.2Will powerline work in your house? If so I'd get something like TPLink Decos with the powerline backhaul.
it's not, but the decos have it built in and will pick the best signal strength between wireless backhaul and powerline. In the OPs case wired of some kind will be the best option, first would be ethernet, second powerline (provided the wiring is good enough for it)
I have two apartments both are like faraday cages, I have Ubiquiti in one and Deco Powerlines in the other. I'm pretty impressed with the Decos for the prices
JoeyDangs 0.0I’m currently running a TP Link mesh network with 3 nodes. The current system is a cheap TP Link Deco mesh (WiFi 5). I’m curious if the coverage from the Dream Router 7 would be superior to my current setup, or if I would need an extra ap. My current setup has trouble connecting to my WiFi ring doorbell and my car parked in the driveway on the other side of the house. I live in a 1700 sq ft, 2 story cape. I’m new to this so any pointers would be appreciated!
33or45 0.0get mesh system - depending on your current DL speeds that you are paying for you may get away with a pre WIFI 6 system of 2 or 3 units... they go cheap on FB market place where people have upgraded to faster speeds We have TP deco on a 3 story townhouse... 1 on each floor - works well no dead spots like we had before and can plug in apple tv in the lounge to one via a wire... not a massive outlay tbf for good coverage if you are looking for less than 100MB down Look for DECO MESH on FB market place and you may get 3 units of pre WIFI 6 for less than 100 bux... it does enough for less than 100 down
jcatanza 0.0I second that recommendation to get a mesh system. Also make sure the mesh system is capable of “WPA3 security”. I am using a TP-link Deco system, with 3 units. I have a 2 story 2100 sq ft home and this system covers all areas well.
zenwalrus 0.0Got rid of my Netgear Costco router and replaced it with Deco mesh with three stations. No change in performance with the eufycams. Everything else connects great though.
Changed out my Netgear for a Deco mesh network with three towers so the whole home is covered. Fiber optic with 1Ghz and the cameras have full bars at every location.
Jerky_san 0.0I have both deco's and cuddy's the decos you can get from costco though (3 pack) and they were pretty well but the bad thing is they kind of stop updating after a year or two. They also go on sale very often at costco. I am unsure on cuddy's as I just got them for testing. I also do bypass though so I don't even use the bgw620 even though I have one.
_alexw 0.0Agree, Deco mesh is very good, took a bit of adjusting in my flat - the walls seemed to be lined with lead.
baby_faced_assassin_ 0.07,299 right now on Amazon for 3 unit TP link deco.
babypho 0.0I use a deco. I had disconnection problems when I was using the fast band and I saw someone recommended that Google home prioritize consistency over speed and that I should switch over to 2.4hz. I did that and my Google home has never had a disconnect since.
bigbadchief 0.0I got the same mesh system recently and have found it to be great.
