Deco P7 (3-pack)

I can’t speak for the eero myself since it’s actually my brother who’s using it and I’ve got a Deco actually lol. The app kinda sucks but once it’s all setup I didn’t need to do anything else. Got the 3 pack from Costco and it’s been solid. Just needed to turn off fast roaming since it was cutting off uploads randomly. Guess the house is too small for 3 APs.

I have a 3000 sq ft home and tricked tplink 3 deco unitsand am disappointed with it. Numerous units drop connection and it doesn’t cover my entire house. My 5 yr old orbi system never had these issues

If you're not experienced, use either to link's deco line, or use unify. https://preview.redd.it/8xseiqxpwg1g1.jpeg?width=1164&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7e6a8dd8e7448315749d33666cfadbf8b714aca4 Everyone here's saying cat6 or cat6a. Unless you plan on having wifi faster than 1gbps (you won't)\* then just run cat 5e- it's easier to terminate and less hassile and half the cost. If you DID want faster than 1gbps speed on wifj, then you would need wifi 7, which uses the 6ghz freq, which basically can't pass through sheetrock. So then you'd need an AP in every room that you wanted faster than 1gbps and some of the APs that *only* have the 6ghz freq enabled because theyd end up being too close for 5ghz and way too close for 2.4ghz You would only need a Poe switch if you wanted unify access points. I personally hate unify because they're just prosumer, but for someone who doesn't want to deal with VLANS (Virtual Networks) then you might want to **avoid** Tplink omada, Aruba, Cisco and instead go for prosumer like Unify or Tplink DECO. If you have any questions pls message me or ask on here. My green x are for assuming you'd do wifi 6-7 and are okay with 150-500mbps lan wifi speed

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.

TP-Link Deco work quite well, I've installed plenty of them. Even with wireless backhaul they cope well.

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.

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.

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.

Mikrotik, but you need to love networking Easy set up ia tplink deco

7,299 right now on Amazon for 3 unit TP link deco.

Buy 2 unit mesh for 5k and check coverage. Then add more if necessary.

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.
