"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!"

"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!"

"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!"

"In a 6000 sq ft house I’ve just helped with it has 6 access points and has a perfect full signal everywhere you go."
"I have a 2 story 2350sf house. I have an Orbi with the master AP upstairs in the hall covering all the bedrooms rooms. Downstairs I have 2 Orbi Client APs on either end of the house covering all the downstairs, garage, and outside. ... I’ve never had any issues with coverage or bandwidth."
"I’m getting the whole gig almost every where in the house"

"What I've most recently is use it to provide connectivity to my spouse's festival booth. ... Open wifi signal showing 1 bar that would never actually give me an IP on my phone, and the Slate grabbed it, and gave me a steady/fast signal that covered me all the way across the festival grounds to the food trucks."
"it stays connected a long way away ... I had it set up in my 4th floor hotel room in Jamaica and was still connected at the pool outside"
"Agree 1000%. I use the same router to work in my van outside of work. Was a game changer in getting legit speeds but also maintaining a stable connection."

"Transferring videos to a phone is slow as molasses and overheats the battery"
"The Gopro Quik app and its accompaning auto stabilization feature is absolute joke though. ... I would say it is akin to the early 2010s Youtube stabilization feature, which makes any clip that isn't a walking vlog unusable."
"rubbish app that won't let you change settings 9 times out of 10"

"TP Link Deco definitely requires an app and an account ... although there is a web interface, it can't do much."
"If you want better configuration dont go Deco its locked down by the software app to run some services and tweak. ... using them as a primary gateway not the smartest for the more experienced user that likes the standard routing options available to setup etc."

"I had their AX1800 that was purchased from a local Walmart before the 3000 and it kept having to be rebooted which was annoying as ever as you might imagine!"

""EastMesh" and Deco "AIMesh" seem to use different mesh platforms and likely won't be compatible. ... Sales person is right, ish. You're not going to get either of these to blend properly like a mesh system would, because they're based on different mesh platforms. EasyMesh and Deco Mesh. They wouldn't be compatible and you'll be wasting money getting the Deco over a straight Access Point, it wasting potential over getting another EastMesh device."
"no worries, there's also one mesh but that only works with routers to extenders and is absolutely trash and I would not recommend it"
"Side note: I'm surprised how many mesh platforms tp-link has. Gosh that's annoying: EasyMesh, AI Mesh, Deco (might be the AI one), and OneMesh??? And probably all not cross compatible."
alienisfunycas3 1.0Currently using Deco X20 and 3 M5?/3?, hoping to switch to Ubiquiti once they have a U7 Mesh. Running a cloud gateway ultra already so eventual transition to Ubiquiti is expected.
_D3Ath_Stroke_ 1.0I have my own tp link axe75 and TP-Link deco x20 connected to the my.t shit router. My brother uses the deco since we use the 3 units to extend the network to his house next to mine. I use my own axe75. On 100mbps my.t broadband.
it works fine but note that i paid full price of my own router. you got a sweet deal. got the deco for 8k and axe75 for 10k. someone brought it from abroad for me.
Dismal-Log8204 1.0I was between the s7 - x10 a few days ago. The S7 seemed good to me because of the 2.5G band and price ratio, regardless of what type of Wi-Fi it was (5). But always studying which is the best option Quality-benefit-price, I was between the x20 and x50, already with WiFi 6 and with promising speeds in 2.5g and 5g and that there was very little direction in prices, I went directly for the x20, today it arrived, I'll have to try it.
Entre s7 y x20 andá por el x20. Lo ideal seria que lo conectes directo por cable ethernet al router, y si este mismo es combinado con wifi, le desactives el wifi del mismo router, asi solo maneja el wifi el tplink x20. De esa manera no se interrumpen las redes teniendo como maestro el del x20. Ojalá tengas suerte y te sirva. Despues lo que es instalación de los mismos es bastante intuitivo a través de la app tplink.
Downstairs-Parking 1.0I have DecoX20 and am about to set up a smarthome. Is this not a good choice for a Home mesh system using HomeKit?
Dull-Dust1388 1.0If you want your network to be wired, test the data cables in the walls first to see if they even work as that could cause a headache later on ;) As for what mesh network to get, there are many budget friendly options! Personally, I have only had good experiences with the TP-Link Deco mesh network, specifically the DecoX20 AX1800. There are good Black Friday sales on for a 3 pack that is roughly -$260 and a 2 pack is under $190. You will need to figure out if you want to “waste” one deco in the garage. As for upgrading your speeds, there are good Black Friday deals on offer at the moment.
dxb_khan 1.0Buy tplink deco x20 3 pack
Far_Tradition5791 1.0I have deco x75 pro..3000 sqft..all points have multiple wired connections which is great. Most deco pods( different variations) are flexible to work with each other. I have x75 pro and x20 pods..all on same mesh. I've had the system for about two and a half years and I can tell you it's been near flawless. Speeds are constant, almost no drops...ever!! Easy to setup and maintain. Auto updates... You really can't ask for an easier mesh setup that just works
GrahamR12345 1.0Tp-Link Deco X20 working great for me!
iamRoRo1 1.0I have 3 Deco X20 for a 2000 sq ft apartment. Mesh system works well. No issues so far. You’ll have to inform Etisalat that you want to enable PPPoE and they’ll send your username/password over sms, use that to configure your mesh system.
justsabo 1.0I mean I don't have any experience with wifi-extenders, I know my cousins have had iffy reliability from them, same with the pods. If you want my honest opinion, if you are able to spend more than $100, I would suggest just getting a mesh router, I got 2 Deco X20s and they have been far more reliable and faster than the HH3000 (I know you have the HH4000 but that is all I had so that is what I can compare to), especially when placed a bit more optimally from each other and I couldn't be happier. It will cost you more upfront but in my opinion it was definitely worth it!
