TP-Link - Deco P9

I liked the Deco P9 I had set up around my apartment. The roaming feature is nice and I got full coverage everywhere. I had to get rid of it because the routers and nodes were terrible for in-house streaming from Sunshine and PS5.

I used to use Deco (mix of P9 and M4). It's pretty cheap and very easy to set up, but doesn't give you much control over what it's doing. Wen a couple of my ageing P9's failed I switched to Unifi, which is probably a bit overpriced for what it is, but works well and was was pretty easy to set up. It can do way more than I need but is able to do things like specify the channel, which I couldn't do with Deco, meaning I can set it not to overlap with my Zigbee network. No experience of Eero. I went with the Unifi UDR7, which is a combined router (they call it gateway) and wifi access point. In hindsight I might have been better off with a separate gateway as the best place for it isn't always the best place for the access point, but an all in one device is a a good starting point. I then have one of their POE switches (Lite-8) so my other access points don't need their own power supplies which simplifies the installation nicely. I have it set up with 3 wifi networks, my main 5GHz network, a 2GHz only network for a few specific devices that don't like 5GHz (Ring doorbell, a couple of old wifi smart switches and a printer), and a separate guest network.

I would get a mesh wifi network with poweline connection.  Some like this. https://www.tp-link.com/us/deco-mesh-wifi/product-family/deco-p9/v1%20(3-pack)/ You can put 1-2 devices on the larger floor and 1 on the other and buy more as needed. Not sure how much you know but a mesh network.  It allows seamless roaming between devices so you don't need separate wireless networks.   The power line feature sends your data from the access pooint over the power lines in your house back to the main hub connected to the home router.   You can now shut off WiFi on your ISP router.   It's just one seamless wifi network across your house.   No need to run cables since the access point used your electric lines to transmit data between each other. I did this at my mother in laws, she has three floors.   It works perfectly.

I installed a Deco 9 mesh through a big but single story house. Excellent kit. As others said you turn off the wifi of the supplied router, plug in 1 mesh device and then add others as needed. Gives one seamless SSID and another for guests if you want. Few parental controls.

I used to have a TP-Link AC1200 router. I’m not sure if it was because I was torrenting for a longer period or more torrents, but the router would throttle to 1 Mbps. I’m not sure why this happened, but when I rebooted the router, it would work fine again. This happened a lot, but it happened less often with the ASUS router.

Yeah, you'll have to get the new free modem that isn't a Wi-Fi/modem combo. Then you can buy a 30$ TP AC1200 router on Amazon and boom you save $10 a month. it's what I did, I told them I was switching to frontier for 29.99 and the agent lowered me to $50 a month with the wifi router, and told me to return the router when I got my own. I dragged my for two months but it paid for itself. I'm not techy but It was easy

I live in a 4600 square feet house. The modem aka the main router is downstairs and the download speed is 300 Mbps and upload speed is 100 Mbps. The router which is near my room upstairs gives me a speed of 30 Mbps the name of the router is tp link ac1200. What router do you recommend budget $300.

Yes, ac1200 alam ko dual band din. Prehas naman sila TP link so compatible sya. Siguro CAT6 lan cable nlng bbilhin in case.

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
