"It's been awesome for the month i've had mine and is able to connect to xbox/ps5 at the same time as your PC and can have dual-channel audio going on at the same time."
"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"
"easy to... pair with 2 devices at once. ... I use it to connect with my pc and my iPhone and it handles the audio switch really well."

"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!"

"It has poles always attached and sets up like an easy up. ... Realistically I have it up in less than 5 minutes even with the kids helping and then we can play. ... I learned the most important factor to look at is easy. Not what's the best or the most sturdy. Nope what's quick and easy that way you actually use it."
"Goes up super fast"
"it’s a game changer because it opens up like an umbrella, so one person can set the tent by themselves in minutes."

"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."

"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"

"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 cannot get my Deco Xe200 to connect to the network despite many hours on the phone with customer support."
"If you can’t do a wired/coax backhaul between the nodes and have an older or brick house, I can’t recommend. ... The wireless bridge between access points is pretty horrible even like 20-30 ft from each other in my house."
"I have some regular dropouts with the set up that never happened with the old Orbi it replaced."

"the deco wouldn’t play nice with my existing whole house tplink gigabit switch for the wired backhaul. Even though it was the same manufacturer. I tried forever, but finally I gave up"

"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."

"I went from Deco’s that had devices drop off regularly"
There really is no one Wifi router that will penetrate all walls and building materials and give you a giant bubble of Wifi. As far as signal strength goes, they are about the same. For the best experience on a budget and easy to set up, mesh is typically the go to, like Deco or Eero. Running a wire between the two or more for wired backhaul will make it even better better.
r/HomeNetworking • Router Recommendations for two story home? ->+1 for the Decos. (Decoes?) They've been pretty reliable over the year and a half-ish that I've had them. The app is a bit funky (esp for more advanced stuff), but as far as being a router, they seem great.
r/HomeNetworking • What is a rock-solid affordable router for an average family? ->TP-Link Deco work quite well, I've installed plenty of them. Even with wireless backhaul they cope well.
r/nbn • Longest range router on the market? ->I used the deco mesh system in the end. Honestly I really like it, I have only had a few minor hiccups but the control I have is great and it was easy to set up. It also helped I got them $100 off
r/HomeNetworking • Router advice for home ->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! ->Even the mid range TP-Link mesh stuff goes well for your average home user with a couple of 4k TV's and a console plus phones and kids.
r/nbn • Longest range router on the market? ->The wireless backhaul is nothing to sniff at on the better domestic mesh systems. I've got a higher end orbi system, and move an absolute boatload of data around, with more than 50 attached devices on the network, and it holds up very, very well. Your average home user will be well served by a Deco mesh.
r/nbn • Longest range router on the market? ->7,299 right now on Amazon for 3 unit TP link deco.
r/Kerala • Are Wi-Fi Extenders Really Effective? ->Buy 2 unit mesh for 5k and check coverage. Then add more if necessary.
r/Kerala • Are Wi-Fi Extenders Really Effective? ->I 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.
r/googlehome • What Mesh Wifi Is Everyone Using ? ->I’ve got a Deco. Didn’t want either Amazon or Google monitoring my WiFi.
r/Spectrum • Best mesh wifi equipment that works with Spectrum ->From a cost/quality/ease of setup TP Link Deco’s are definitely in the running. I have 3 in a 2600 sq/ft 1 floor house with no problems. Granted mine are all hardwired in AP mode but I imagine they would still work well in mesh.
r/HomeNetworking • Best mesh WiFi system for a large house with dead zones and multiple floors? ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
