"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."

"Just a no fuss system. ... Plug in, download the app, set ssid and don't worry about it anymore for years. ... Mine has been stable and working for years."
"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."

"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!"
"the important thing is to cable the mesh devices instead of using wireless mesh for max stability and speed."

"The TP Link Deco mesh systems also provide good speeds at a much lower cost, so that would be my go to."
"There are better systems out there for sure, but at the price point, it's good value"
"TP-Link Déco is cheap and simple to install."

"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"

"What's really common is someone will buy this for their tiny house thinking 3 radios will help their WiFi issues, when actually it's just made it so much worse, all without pushing that wired IS the best option rather than relying on wireless."

BH3333333 1.0I cannot get my Deco Xe200 to connect to the network despite many hours on the phone with customer support. My OLD SLOW google wifi is rock solid. With the new push from congress on May 15, I'm done fooling with it and sticking with what works.
dinkygoat 0.1TP Link Deco 6E - had it for about 2 years and it's been good and super reliable. There were some concerns recently about TP Link routers phoning home to China, so something worth looking into I guess if you're worried. The management app (so take it for what it is, requires a phone app to manage) is decent, although a little annoying with the upsell of the safety suite. The feature set is great - guest network, IoT network, QoS, VPN server and client, 3 ports (only gigabit though) on each device, and 6Ghz wireless backhaul (or wired is also supported). At the time the Wifi 7 model just came out and was much more expensive so I didn't really see the point. If I were buying a new router today I'd probably go for a Wifi 7 model. Another upgrade in that is it looks like the Wifi 7 model has 1x10Gbps port and 2x2.5Gbps so that's some good future-proofing right there. Came from having Google Wifi, which I think was overall a little bit better, but I'm not upset about it. Obviously Ubiquiti is the gold standard if you wanna go that deep into it, but for a more casual (and much more affordable) solution I am not upset with my Deco. It's about $300 for 1 - have a 3-pack (~$700). If you don't need mesh, I've had good luck with Asus routers in the past and last I heard reviews for them are pretty good. Around $300 the TUF BE3600 looks like it might have all modern features you'd want.
Gypsydave23 0.1I’m very happy with Tp link deco 6E
Ice_crusher_bucket 0.1Ive had the Deco 4 and now Deco6e. I f'in love it! 3 pods and covers the house and property quite nicely.
JohnnyWishb0ne 0.1Same experience, my Deco 6E mesh system running well w/ 4 satellites total through my house and garage. I came from a Netgear single router and would have loved to have stayed with that brand, but the TP-Link cost was half what I would have spent on Netgear mesh.
Randyd718 0.1I have the Wi-Fi 6E deco with the dedicated wireless backhaul and it's been bulletproof.
johnnygeezz 0.0TP link deco mesh triband works great.
_whip_cracker_ 0.0You're probably better off looking for a WiFi mesh solution that can daisy chain between each other. A cheap kit that'll do the job would be one of the TP link Deco mesh kits.
Fun_Passage_8942 0.0Same, very happy with it.
TenOfZero 0.0I use deco pods. One on each floor, I use MoCA to use coax as the backhaul, but Ethernet is good as well.
I use Deco pods with a wired MoCA backhaul.
