"My mom actually installed it herself with no problem. ... If you’re not familiar with networking it’s great system."
"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. ... At least this way I can see what is and is not working and troubleshooting is easy. I also have a variety of controls to see who is connecting to what and I can block things easier"
"Deco is intended to be comprehensive and turnkey - you only need this one product and you're done. ... It has all of the features that consumers are likely to use ... user-friendly setup and administration of the solution."

"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."
"I did that and my Google home has never had a disconnect since."
"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."

"Finally, nothing drops, everything is fast and solid, the devices themselves are now the bottleneck."

"go through Walmart and you'll most of the time find it on sale for less than $100 ... I picked up my 2 pack for around $80"
"The TP Link Deco mesh systems also provide good speeds at a much lower cost, so that would be my go to."
"deco have very nice, cheap and reliable options ... tp link is best bang for buck"

"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!"

"TP Link Deco definitely requires an app and an account ... although there is a web interface, it can't do much."
"Can confirm. Have Deco. Am miserable."

"My ISP service is nominally 600 mBps, but the maximum I can get through the AC3000 on either WiFI or one of the ethernet ports is 100 mBps. ... Instead, the WAN input is locked at 100 mBps."

"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."

"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 had Deco. Spend hours trying to extend WiFi range with another node. Fail."
"Numerous units drop connection"

"rubbish app that won't let you change settings 9 times out of 10"
CautiousInternal3320 0.5I expect two Deco (X60 or X90) would be fine, if they can communicate between floor 0 and floor 2. How does the wifi signal work between your floors? With the router provided by your ISP, do you have some wifi signal on floor 1 and on floor 2? Results of speed test on floors 0, 1 & 2? What is the model of your ISP router and of the device you use for testing?
malki666 0.5At just over £200, the TP-LINK Deco X60 system works really well for me. I'm in the UK, also Virgin Media on 1gig. Covers 3 floors no problem also the garage, garden and driveway. Good software with it too.
I second the Deco, good software with it too.
mister-at 0.5Same. X60 and X90. I keep them in AP mode. They are great but I would love the ability to setup VLANs for extra security.
NintendoNoNo 0.5Okay thanks. That's how I understood it as well, just wanted to make sure my intuition was correct haha. I just bought a Deco x60 mesh system and plan on setting it up tonight. Hoping I can FINALLY play my Playstation Portal without the resolution tanking and the connection giving up after 5 minutes. I've been using a wifi extender (which I know are certainly not great) and I don't think the Portal enjoys that...
Puzzleheaded-Cold495 0.5I have an x6 .. I never feel like I have been let down by it. I use a UNifi USG for the routing tho’
TroubleOk7239 0.5Agreed, Deco are a good budget choice. I've found it's possible to mix-and-match generations as I have two XE75s and one X60 all on the same mesh. I've found them pretty easy to configure and live with, at least for my "normal" needs. (i.e. I'm not trying to run a bunch of VLANs or anything fancy)
willyc3766 0.5I’ve had a somewhat weird, experience as well, although not the same as yours. I have three X60s and set nodes 2 and 3 up via wired back haul. No issues for a little over a year. Then all of a sudden nodes 2 and 3 started routinely going out. I switched the order of the nodes multiple times, deleted and setup the network from scratch multiple times, swapped all Ethernet cables for new ones, etc. No matter what, it simply does not like node 3 being hard wired to node 2. I finally gave up and settled on node 2 being wired and node 3 being connected wirelessly. No problems since. Every once in a while I try to plug node 3 into the Ethernet cable and sure enough, node 2 and 3 go out. It makes no sense. Otherwise no complaints and really hasn’t affected my range and speed. 🤷♂️
bigeye1937 0.1Deco AX3000. Going strong for almost 3 years with no issues.
IWuzTheWalrus 0.1I run Decos (AX3000) in my house which was built like a f\*\*\*ing faraday cage. 2300 feet and I need 3 mesh units to get coverage throughout, plus another one just outside the back door (X50) to reach the backyard, otherwise the signal is gone after 15 feet.
juliandanielwilliams 0.1I’d actually argue that a simple mesh, like a Deco AX3000 (around $320ish) would make more sense even for small homes as you are going for coverage. Put one at one end of the house and one in the other. In my opinion it’s those “gaming routers” that are generally overkill (especially the ones with a million antennas and LED lighting.
