"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!"

"Some of the kelty tents have these sleeves that the bottom of the poles go into and it makes solo setup a breeze."
"I could set up in the dark without a light"
"An all clip suspension tent is much easier to pitch solo than a tent that uses sleeves."

"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."
"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"

"Unifi provide the most stable wifi network for IoT of all the AP on the market, even with one VLAN, even in mesh configuration. ... I have +200 IoT devices in my home from Apple, Switchbot, Aqara, Logitech, Eufy, Hue, Govee, and numerous exotic brands. I have been through hell with solutions from Apple, Orbi, Peplink, Meraki, Eero, Huawei and many many more. And only since I am rocking on Unifi I can open my Apple Home app with not a single device error !"
"I have over 60 devices connected to it, and have ZERO issues."
"Finally, nothing drops, everything is fast and solid, the devices themselves are now the bottleneck."

"my TP-Link AX3000 Pro has never let me down. That is it doesn't seem to need to be rebooted a lot. ... The AX3000 pro only seems to need to be reset on rare occasions. and I do mean very rare!"

"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."
"you can’t force 2.4ghz to setup smart home products"
"Not much in the way of configuration and even then some features require a subscription."

"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."

"the TP Link 802.11AX router has a weaker signal than the Spectrum 802.11AX router. ... Barely reaches the master bedroom, where the Roku now gets a “Fair” connection instead of “good” or “excellent”, and my cellphone now drops connection sometimes"

"The lack of an effective web interface is a non starter. ... I returned my BE16000 as soon as I found out you could only manage them via a mobile device."
"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."
"I had a mesh system but I found it so frustrating. It was a dummy system and if there were latencies I couldn’t tell where they were - service provider or in-network. I was constantly tinkering with the apps, which could tell me nothing."

"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"

"random disconnects"
"I went from Deco’s that had devices drop off regularly"
"Same headaches here. I just manually restart them occasionally."
+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? ->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! ->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 ? ->TPLink AX5400 or AXE5400, done. Those are around $100/$150 on Amaz right now, I did a quick check I am using AXE in 1800ish. The big thing on routers, be sure it has multiple CPUs in it, different class ARM stuff, but you want more than 1. /cheers
r/pcmasterrace • Need a Simple, Reliable Wi-Fi Router for 1,000 sq ft Home – Spotty Wi-Fi on Phones/Laptops, $439 Ubiquiti Overkill? ->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? ->TPlink Deco/some other mesh network system where you can just buy 2-3 of them and hardwire them all together. Should give you plenty of speed and coverage
r/LinusTechTips • Moving to a 3 level townhouse. Getting TELUS internet - what wifi router and setup would you recommend? ->If you have a house that you are struggling to cover wifi with, a mesh system is recommended as you'll be placing several "routers" around the house that work together to give you the best signal. Obviously they work best when these mesh points are connected with a cable back haul, however they work well with wifi backhaul as well. If money is no object then the Orbi mesh system is the best which provide you with the best speeds around. The TP Link Deco mesh systems also provide good speeds at a much lower cost, so that would be my go to. All of these mesh systems are managed via an app that you can download on your phone or tablet.
r/nbn • What would be a good Wifi Router? ->With what looks like a large tree in between your house & guest house, I would think hard wiring that section would be best. We got a TP Link Deco mesh system back when we got our SL (Oct 2021) and have 4 mesh nodes (the first acts as the router) around our property, covering a few acres in good wifi. Originally, we had one at our house trying to wirelessly connect to another node at our guest house about 230' away (same as your 70m) but there were trees in the way, so once we laid in ground cable between those 2 nodes, we were able to then extend beyond to our shop & our gate.
r/Starlink • Best way to extend Wi-Fi in a large house with a guesthouse 70m away? ->If you want better configuration dont go Deco its locked down by the software app to run some services and tweak. Get one of the Onemesh or Easy mesh routers like the AXE5400. Will also add the deco's are fantastic access points but using them as a primary gateway not the smartest for the more experienced user that likes the standard routing options available to setup etc.
r/TpLink • Best TP-Link router for small Apt. ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
