"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."
"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."

"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."

"But they abandon all their ROG products after 1 year. ... After you buy that $699 router if you need warranty or it has a bug (like mine) where it'll stop dropping macs onto ethernet after a few weeks you just get to deal with it."

"I have some very stupid "smart" devices that would not maintain connection to the ASUS XT8s. They would drop off, reconnect, etc. I suspect they don't like WiFi 6, because they work fine with the R7000 (which is a WiFi 5 router). ... I spent weeks fiddling with settings on the XT8s and couldn't find a combination that worked"

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 ->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. 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! ->this needs so many more upvotes! I have having a nightmare with my networked PC's, some plugged into the ISP router and some on the wifi. They weren't showing up under worked PC's in windows and once i switched the Deco's to AccessPt Mode... everything fixed. I can connect to either the Deco AP mesh, or directly to the ISP router and all pc's can now see each other! Finally a good explanation on the matter :)
r/TpLink • PSA: DECOs Should Use “Access Point Mode” if Using a Separate Router ->Deco's are a great product. Ideally you could ethernet backhaul your wifi somehow. I highly recommend trying to make that happen if you can.
r/HomeNetworking • Need help choosing best option ->I had the same issue. To resolve is to connect to the same node your PS5 is connected to. I had to force the connection via the TP-Link Deco app to ensure the portal connected to the correct node. If you want to roam the whole house you will need to hardwire the nodes together with Ethernet.
r/PlaystationPortal • Thanks to all, I solved my issues. Honest review: ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
