"TPLink Decco is a damn good mesh system and and much cheaper. ... $169 for my 3 Decco System."
"WiFi 7 models are still very expensive but few devices are compatible at the moment so for me WiFi 6 is the best option for the money."
"It’s relatively inexpensive and easy to set up. ... All I can tell you is that if you’re looking for ease of set up and solid operation at a good price its a good fit."

"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."
"It’s easy and reliable. ... This is all really easy to set up in my experience, and it just works."
"Seriously, set it up at my parents too a couple of years ago. So easy to use"

"I have a TP link Deco with all nodes hardwired it works brilliantly."
"tplink just works ... I follow up with my customers each month and they say everything is much better and working great. I only hardwire nodes, never wireless, and I buy the wifi6e versions- I’m not saying tplink is better than Unifi, just saying a hardwired network and wifi where you need it is the recipe."
"I noticed a BIG improvement once i conected all my decos via ethernet. ... I hate cables but 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!"

"Switched over to Decos and never looked back. Incredibly fast solid coverage throughout and no downtime. Light years better."
"I myself have a deco and we have four modules through a long rambly ranch house and we have nearly 300 MB per second everywhere because we have about 1 GB per second fiber to the house."
"It takes 3 decos to cover 5500 sq ft. That’s what I have. Took about 5 of the crappy Linksys ones. Got rid of those."

"My Portal now connects and works amazing. Fast connection, zero lag."
"I have having a nightmare with my networked PC's, some plugged into the ISP router and some on the wifi. They weren't showing up under worked PC's in windows and once i switched the Deco's to AccessPt Mode... everything fixed. I can connect to either the Deco AP mesh, or directly to the ISP router and all pc's can now see each other!"

"throughput just randomly drops to 1kbps"
"You're dealing with bad mesh systems. ... I looked up that Deco X10 and it has the normal router 2 radio thing, one for 2.4ghz devices and one for 5ghz devices. When the mesh devices need to talk to each other they're using those same radios to communicate. ... This is the same way as an extender works, listening for a faint signal from the router and shouting it to your device. These solutions clog the airspace and kill bandwidth."
"But for getting the signal at the other side of your garden, far away from your main home network, extender can actually work better. ... We tried to at least keep the outdoor extender, but I was only getting like 2Mbps on it, so we at least ran a cable from the garage Deco to it and made it a wired AP, everything finally works for him now."

"The tplink’s I bought say they support mesh but once setup as a mesh they lose features. ... So the mesh isn’t worth using. ... The mesh setup is a half baked. You can’t use all the wifi features when setup as a mesh."
"frequently fails to deliver advertised features or function reliably"
"rubbish app that won't let you change settings 9 times out of 10"

"I have a deco, nothing but trouble. Read the tp link subreddit about dropped connections."
"It’s a good system…..until your modem looses internet and the whole LAN side of your network stops functioning. ... When the internet goes down, Deco gets confused and the general response is that the LAN also goes down until internet is restored."

"After having the same issues I ended up doing the same. 0 issue since using my old Asus router with the Decos as APs."
I have bought the x10 recently and they work great under similar conditions although we only have 125mbps
r/TpLink • Which would be better, tp link deco X10 or tp link deco S7? ->I have the same models, thoroughly recommend too
r/DIYUK • Do these power line extenders really work ? ->Plus one here for Deco. I have four WiFi 6 models. Mesh is a better solution I agree. WiFi 7 models are still very expensive but few devices are compatible at the moment so for me WiFi 6 is the best option for the money.
r/DIYUK • Do these power line extenders really work ? ->I believe that their are 2 versions of the x 10 I have the AX1500 version and this definitely has speeds higher then 100 Mbps and supports WiFi 6 The only issues with the X10 is it doesn't offer some of the features that higher models have such as an IOT network
r/TpLink • TP Link Deco X10 enough? ->I put my ISP modem on bridge mode and used TPlink as my main router. Then connect it with other tplink router via EASYMESH as it allows us to create mesh with wired backhaul. Below are the 2 links you need. I can’t tell you exactly what to do since ISPs might have different needs but below articles may give you an idea. I have BE550 and AX1500 on the Ethernet backhaul. https://www.tp-link.com/uk/easymesh/product-list/ https://www.tp-link.com/ae/support/faq/3731/
r/TpLink • 2 wireless routers instead of deco mesh? ->You're dealing with bad mesh systems. I looked up that Deco X10 and it has the normal router 2 radio thing, one for 2.4ghz devices and one for 5ghz devices. When the mesh devices need to talk to each other they're using those same radios to communicate. This is the same way as an extender works, listening for a faint signal from the router and shouting it to your device. These solutions clog the airspace and kill bandwidth. What you want is a tri-band mesh system - 2.4/5 radios for your devices, and then a third radio for communication within the mesh system. If you like TP Link, look at the BE65, there's a 6ghz radio for the mesh system so your devices don't have to share bandwidth.
r/HomeNetworking • I thought mesh WiFi was supposed to be 'better' than extenders? ->If you are using AT&T extenders then that is your problem. I bought my own DECO Mesh system and shut off the AT&T wireless function and use my DECO for my wireless connections and my internet works great and all my devices connect with no problem. I couldn't use my printer if the extenders were connected and now I never have a problem. [DECO I bought.](https://www.walmart.com/ip/TP-Link-Wi-Fi-6-Mesh-Router-Replacement-System-3-AX1500-Routers-Coverage-5-600-Sq-ft-Parental-Controls-Connect-120-devices-Deco-W4500/2932481773?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=0&wl13=5842&gclsrc=aw.ds&adid=222222222772932481773_117755028669_12420145346&wl0=&wl1=g&wl2=c&wl3=501107745824&wl4=pla-394283752452&wl5=9016917&wl6=&wl7=&wl8=&wl9=pla&wl10=8175035&wl11=local&wl12=2932481773&veh=sem_LIA&gclsrc=aw.ds&gad_source=4&gad_campaignid=12420145346&gbraid=0AAAAADmfBIoHhfLrBWgn9hxdw2g64jnqW)
r/ATTFiber • Switched to AT&T Fiber Now regretting it ->Update: thanks everyone, I took some advice on here and upgraded the Deco system I had (about half the price of going ubiquity). Has been up for four days now and is perfectly stable, no devices have dropped off. Haven’t setup the separate iot network, will get around it at some stage. No more frustration for me! I’m looking for recommendations on a new router. Currently have a Deco x10 mesh system running a combination of native HomeKit devices and some off homebridge. About 40 devices total at any one time. I’m regularly getting devices drop off the network, both native and homebrige devices. Have tried all the troubleshooting I’ve been able to find with not joy, so I’m at the point of looking to replace the system. Doesn’t have to be mesh based. We have a medium sized four bedroom, single storey house, with cameras in the front and back yards. Don’t have a specific price point in mind, just want something that’s going to be as reliable as possible. Thanks in advance!
r/HomeKit • Looking for wifi router recommendations - fed up with my Deco mesh system ->I have the s7 setup. Similar conditions and 2 floors. Works great but I still tried to maintain line of sight and had to add another 2 units. If I had a choice back then I would bump the tech. X10, 5 units. I think you are going to end up doing exactly that.
r/TpLink • Which would be better, tp link deco X10 or tp link deco S7? ->Out of top of the head: x50 dedicated 5GHz radio xe75 dedicated 6GHz radio if you don’t enable it for regular use (so if you disable 6GHz band in the app it’s not actually turned off but used as dedicated backhaul) All decos are supposed to be dynamically combining available bandwidth over all used channels/bands but without dedicated channel max bandwidth of non-main nodes is limited to half of the total speed (because in case of full saturation half is used for communication between decos and other half for communication with client devices). Considering even x10 is supposed to be ax1500 device (1500mbps of total bandwidth) it would be more than enough for 150mbps use. Unless you mean 150MB/s, not mb/s=mbps, then you’ll need top of the line wifi7 BE-something model.
r/TpLink • Which deco mesh have dedicated backhaul channel? ->We have 2 deco x55, an x50, and an x10 with wired backhaul and everything works seamlessly. Great coverage all around the house.
