TP-Link Deco WiFi 6 Mesh WiFi System(Deco X20) - Covers up to 4000 Sq.Ft, Replaces Wireless Internet Routers and Extenders, 2-Pack

So far I’ve been using them for 2 years. Pros: they are very easy to set up, great quality, they do not drop connection, very stable internet as long as you set them up right, the app allows you to label them, they work fine for connection up to 1Gb. Make sure you connect your main to your modern near an open space centralized and with an Ethernet cable cat 5 or higher. Each has a duel Internet port in case you want to hardwire into a device instead of wife. Cons: the app sometimes prevents them from working properly so sometimes you simply have to open up the app so it can reboot itself, after a reboot sometimes they don’t automatically start working (so you must unplug the power of those showing red, will quickly reboot and show green), my biggest issue, the app displays usually the wrong speed, sometimes showing mbps or kbps, speed fluctuates a lot, even when you perform a 3rd party speed test, not exactly sure why. Location is a must, you must make sure they are set as close to each other as possible while getting a strong signal ( must play round to find the sweet spot). Over all they are great if you set them up properly, they provide great internet, very easy to use and set up, requires no maintenance but updates, so far I’ve had no issues for the last 2 years. I would recommend the Decos.

I'm an IT geek / software developer for a living. I know all about how this stuff works and I wanted fast, but I didn't need crazy expensive for my home and some of these mesh systems are way overpriced IMHO. Reality is you can have all the latest crazy standards but once you get 20ft from the access point all bets are off and you'll never see the speeds you see quoted so you need to mix practical with price. There seem to be sooo many mesh system options these days, that I was overwhelmed, but after some consideration I thought I would just go for this one which seemed reasonably priced, but still offered most of the latest standards (and thus speed limits) and also had free returns! In this case this config with 2 slave units was great for my ~4500 sq ft house, my previous single access point left some dead spots (like my Ring outside the house) just outside the range. But with this setup I can blanket the house and get pretty good speeds (>100-200Mb throughput) just about everywhere, and faster (400+ when you are reasonably close / line of sight to the access point) It's important to remember when thinking about laying these out in your house what and where you need the speed. If you need speed inside your house (say you are always streaming movies from a pc to another device) or if you need speed from a device to the internet. The slave access points can only provide as much throughput back to the main access point (which is probably directly plugged into your router/internet) as good as their own wireless connection is to EACH OTHER. eg: if you put the slave access points 50ft away they might "only" be able to get like 20Mb back to the internet, as your devices is going from device -> slave access point ->* main access point (next to your router/internet) and the * connection is the weak link. What was the killer feature for me on these is you can actually use ethernet as a backbone for the slave access points. My house is pre-wired with ethernet so I was able to put the slave access points pretty far but every slave is hardwired back to the main access point and thus has 100% of the throughput back to the internet so no matter which access point you connect to in the house each access point is as fast as the main one so the access point to access point speed drop is a non-issue if you can set it up like this. DO THIS IF AT ALL POSSIBLE! It's like having 3 "full speed" access points strategically dropped through your house. It wasn't obvious I could do this from the (very basic) docs for setup that came with it, but a quick search through the online docs showed you could this and it's brain dead, just plug your home network into the port on the back. Extra bonus feature, you can use the 2nd port on the back as a local hardwired port so if you have a single PC or "device" (like an xbox or something) next to the access point you can still plug it in directly and get full hard-wired speed without needing to buy an extra switch in the middle. Note: If you don't use the 1st port for the backbone, then you get 2 ports for local devices that will get at least Access Point -> Access Point speeds without one more wifi hop needed. I was pretty impressed with the iPhone app that you use to manage the setup, gone are the days of a webbrowser hitting a super slow admin page, the app is snappy and you can tweak all kinds of stuff. (favorite feature: One of the access points ended up in a kids room and they complained about the LED at night, guess what, turns out there's a "night mode" where it turns off the LED's during a timewindow in the settings pages!) The "mesh" part works really good too, from the app you can see your device move from access point to access point and what devices are on which and stuff. Super handy for initial setup troubleshooting and geeking out over how it's all working. I will admit, I was a little nervous since TP-Link is sort of a more bargain brand in my head, but I've had it going for about 8 weeks now in my house and it's been basically flawless. I'm sold, I'd TOTALLY buy this again or recommend it to a friend (or anyone reading this)!

I was looking for a good more budget friendly mesh system for my house and property. The performance is really good, I get really fast speeds off of all of the mesh devices. The ease of installation is really easy and the app walks you through setting up everything. They look very clean and aren't an eyesore compared to a traditional home router would be. I have had no connection issues or issues with streaming both movies, TV shows and video games. Great product, would recommend.

These are very good. I installed them last night. The app is -almost- perfect in the way it walks you through set up. The devices have a light on them. The light color changes and indicates what’s going on with the device. So when you go to set it up, and the light is yellow, the app says it should last about 30 seconds because it’s booting up and when it starts blinking blue, continue to the next step. However if it stays yellow, it doesn’t tell you what could be wrong. Only what a yellow light means. So I found myself for 25 minutes, restarting the entire process multiple times because the app told me what the device should be doing, and what the color light means, but it doesnt help you navigate what to do when the device isn’t acting correctly. Lo and behold, it eventually started acting right one of the many times I restarted the process. I have them scattered in 3 different rooms on 1 floor of my home. There is a noticeable difference in WiFi signal. In the furthest room from my router, we used to not get any service, now I’m able to watch videos and even post this review from the same room. I’m not sure what the longevity and lifespan on these are, but 1 day in and I’m a happy customer.

I have not had any issues with this mesh since initial set up. The set up is easy to follow and straight forward. I did have a minor issue, but that was on my end and my service provider was able to give me the correct information needed to set up. It has been running now for about 4 months and we have had steady connection across all devices - computers, TVs, gaming systems, smart home and surveillance systems. The back room that was often a dead zone now gets a good strong signal. I like that I am able to hard wire certain devices into each unit if I want to. We currently have the main home computer connected to the second unit, and the Xbox and smart TV on the third unit. Not that any of these devices were experiencing any lag or connection issues on wifi. It also has the option to set specific devices to priority on wifi or to set a device to only connect to one unit rather than the mesh to maintain a steady connection on items that are stationary. The parental controls are also a great feature. You do need to pay to unlock everything, but the free features are enough for my needs. It allows to filter content, block websites, and set up screen limits. The only inconvenience on the free side is that you cant set multiple time limits for differentdays of the week. While I can set a bed time daily, if I want to give extra time on the weekend I do need to manually reset it every week. However, it is not a big deal with the app. Wifi to all devices you set to your child's profile will be turned off at the time you set, and not turn back on until a time you set. Bedtime routines have gotten smoother as they quickly learned there is no "just a minute". They now take note of the time and hurry to finish, save their progress and say goodbye to friends before the time runs out.

I had a simple setup, which most of us have in our home a ISP router with a Wifi AP point installed in a central location. As I started adding more and more devices I started to have issues with the ISP setup and started looking for options. TP link was on sale and had read good things about the Mesh WiFi. No more dead spots and consistently get good speeds all around. Initially had a lot of trouble with the setup, contacted TP link support which I believe is still out of China. I had to undergo a lot of Troubleshooting with the TP link engineer which took two weeks and the final outcome was to RMA the devices. I have read forums and looks like some of these devices do have issues. TP link RMA policy is to ship the units back before they send a replacement. They do not pay for shipping. So if you have issues contact Amazon for replacements immediately. Pros:- 1.) Easy to setup. Deco app guides through the process of installation and also is less buggy. 2.) Homecare which comes by default for lifetime on the these devices is a good selling point 3.) Parental controls are good, at least I found them to be good for my purpose 4.) Have tested a 3 device setup with almost 60 devices turned on at a given time and it has worked as expected 5.) Have not had issues with smart devices which only use 2.4Ghz Cons :- 1.) Some of the new devices are plagues by issues which results in replacement of the entire unit. I had to replace 3 of my units 2.) TP link should be open about hardware revisions and what changes they bring in with such revisions 3.) RMA policy requires owners to bear shipping cost, not like Amazon return 4.) Turn around time to get a senior engineer at TP link to work on troubleshooting could take 2 weeks, since I believe engineers are in China.

منتج جيد للاستخدام وسهل في التثبيت وشبكة مستقر خلال البيت

I'm very happy with this purchase. Speedy delivery and thoughtful placement of the package when I wasn't home. Set up was easy as well. My wifi performance is now much better than previously.

Product is sleek, setup is easy, good user interface for the mobile app. Speed is decent. WIFI/internet keeps dropping especially during video calls, watching netflix, etc. Reached out to TP link support...need to remind them multiple times. You cant get them on the phone....only through chat. This hasnt helped and I have wasted my time for over a month expecting they will fix it. Now I am stuck with a router that I just paid decent money for that is worse than my 5 year old router. Stay away!!!
