The images you used in the speed test section of the video appear to be intentionally misleading. You have taken more samples on the Deco and made it look as though the bar represents the speed test results.
Minor tip for anyone who bought a used device, you might have to reset the device to set it up properly. The reset button can be found underneath the device and pushed with a thin object (press till it flashes yellow)
Thank you! My wife is a remote nurse (case reviews of complex patients). We had plenty of Mbps but not to her study (10-15 Mbps). I hooked up the Mesh TP system and she started immediately receiving around 190 Mbps. She is very happy! If I can set it up, anyone can.
That's exactly what I was looking for - 802.11K/V/R standard.. .trying to find out how the nodes kick your phone off one so it will be taken up by a better closer one was what I wanted to know. Modern devices are notoriously sticky even when 50m away and so I doubted that they'd work properly. Thanks for the info !
Deco M4 probably the best thing I spent money on in all my years of using WiFi which was so unstable and annoying every other day. Fixed every issue, speed and bandwidth.
Agree.. I set it up at my mum's double storey home and both upstairs and downstairs have similar speed now. (Upstairs is where I place the main unit). Totally worth the investment. I could even play pvp games without issue downstairs now. Using xiaomi wifi extender downstairs was a nightmare as its speed and latency were horrible. Often have users dropping out of the wifi too.
I found out that the only difference between S4 and M4 is the certifications (aside from the form factor). There are 9 certifications that S4 doesn't have compared to M4. Does it affect the performance of S4 compared to what M4 can provide in terms of connectivity?
Great review! I have this system in my home and it works great. I need to extend my signal 100 feet to my barn; will adding another unit work for this?
I've had the M4's for just under a year and I have had nothing but trouble with them. The main unit kept locking up and the network would go down. Sometimes it take half an hour of resetting to get it back up. I sent that unit back and got a replacement, but now the replacement unit is having the same issues. Tech support has tried coming up with a solution but no joy. So, after just a year, I have just purchased a set of Google mesh units.
i think mine crapped out, i had two power outages and i could get i back up from the last outage, i had cox in my area fixing the lines and my service went out but was fine then, like i said up to the last power outage i reset it up and tried to set it up but the red light kept coming out
I bought tp link mesh network set for 600 Euro and then i found out that a have to pay extra money every month for decent parental control. This is deco set. Bought in 2023. I am crazy mad with tp link. I cannot control my daughters bedtime in the weekend. In the weekend she is allowed to be longer on her i pad. I have to pay een extra fee every month.
The TPLink Decos basically combine all the routers as well 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz all into 1 SSID. Your smart home devices will automatically be put on the 2.4Ghz so dont’ worry about that.
Can I check assuming I have data points in each room for a 3 storey house, what would be my best option? Should I get a normal router to put inside each room? Or should I get a mesh for each room?
Can I use them with my current wifi router? I ask this because these devices (in particular the so-called router) only have one an extra ethernet port whereas my current router have 6 useful ethernet ports. Great video and thank you for it.
Cool review! Before this, I was looking at UniFi, but now... Quick questions, does anybody know, can You wire all Decos to router individually? Also, can You connect something like TV or a console on the port 2 in the Deco, if the router is connected to 1?
So do you plug the main one straight into the house's ethernet input, or do you plug them into your existing router? Can you also plug devices (like gaming PCs, xboxs, smart TV's) directly into one of these routers?
Thanks for the review, I had to return mine today. They start advertising this homeshield pro, to pause the internet. Like seriously!, STAY AWAY FROM DECO. Go with something that does not ask you to subscribe for some basic family controls. That was restarted on their part.
Great video! I had always looked into mesh Wi-Fi in the past and always found it too expensive. I might have to get myself some of these as the advanced networking features look amazing!
very informative! question: on the ethernet connection I saw... can one satellite unit be ethernet connected to my desk top computer in center of house, which currently operates its wifi on a tiny usb plugin on back of computer? what I saw in this video indicated the blue ethernet line plugged into another satellite unit...thanks for your tutorial!
Google Email thank you! is it also possible to do similar w our master bedroom samsung smart tv? connecting the mesh unit to it w ethernet cable to improve loading or is a second modem required? our coaxial cable should be live all over the house even though there’s no longer a cable box attached to it in that room?
Megan Copeland One modem for the whole house. Each “mesh unit” has two lan ports. You can connect your telly to one of the lan ports of the mesh to improve the connection. Hope that answers the question
Were the units connected to each other via Ethernet when you tested them? I saw from another review that they did well when wired but likely when they weren't.
Bought this and connects but says there is no internet access and a red light on it. I connect line to my old Net gear and works perfectly. Run a cable from that to this and get a white light on the Deco!!! What am I missing? I have fiber optic connection that goes to a power supply and straight into the home with an ethernet connector.
I’ve experimented a bit with the M4’s . I think you got to mostly keep 2 units in visible range of each other meaning no wall between them. So long as you can do that, I think they have a pretty good range. i’ve gotten about 15 feet atleast.
Had a 3 pack installed yesterday, worked great for few hours and all of the sudden both satellite decos aren't stable at all, and at times don't find the main deco at all. Any ideas on what's happening? I tried setting up the mesh network all over again but nothing seems to solve the problem.
Btw, for anyone interested, I’ve been very happy with this system. Don’t have any WiFi issues with this even with my iPad Air 2, which I think had a poor antenna design. It’s always had reception issues. The app is very simple maybe too simple
Can I connect individual units directly with router using ethernet for fast speed, Instead of connecting one unit to another unit directly using ethernet as you mentioned in this video.
You're talking about Ethernet Wired Back haul and yes it's supported. You can hardwire a slave unit to the main unit (the unit that's working as the main router). These deco units have only 2 ethernet ports so you might need to get a multi port switch for more ports.
Do these act as one network, or multiple access points? I have a network share on one computer, and other computers won't be able to discover it if it's not on the exact same wireless network.
They don't have gigabit Ethernet ports on the back, meaning that they only support up to 100 Mbps or less. If your internet speed is less than that, go for the E4, otherwise choose the M4.
Hi. Nice review! Does all the slave units has to be into the master unit wireless range, for connection, or can some of them bem connected between each other’s and only one connected to master unit? Regards
Yes the slave units only need to WiFi reach another slave unit as long as the in-between unit/units can connect to the master unit. So for example master unit cable connected to modem, which is wireless connected to slave in kitchen, and as long as slave in bedroom is able to wireless connect to slave in kitchen you're sweet. Excuse the plantation references
I'm wondering if this mesh system can use the same name as the router network is using. Say if my present system is named "Jimmy," can the TP mesh units be on that same name?
Will this work on a Verizon Fios network? The reason for my question is my sister recently upgraded to a newer router on the Verizon network and the outside connection is more than 1000 feet away from her bedroom where she has lost WIFi connection in that part of her home.
Why are there 2 gig ports (not 3 or 1)? what are they for? That happens to the "old" router WiFi (disable it)? In the video 2 of them are connected together directly, why?...shouldn't they connect to the router ??
My main deco is connected/wired to my modem. I have another deco in my bedroom getting signals from the main deco. If I connect a lan cable to my PS4 to the bedroom deco will the performance be better instead of connecting it wirelessly?
Hi I have a lot of smart home smart devices like switches , light strips , plug , light bulbs , 3 smart Tvs , 7 wifi camera inside and outside of my home , 3 Alexa and more and I just bought these , do I needed to reconnect all of my devices again ?
I just got the m9, should I have gotten these? It's still an option, just wondering if there's an upside. Also what about the x60? I'd appreciate any help
My plan is to plug one directly into the main modem, then have the others in my lounge and the upstairs office. I then plan to plug via ethernet my work laptop direct into the office and then the Sky box into the lounge one. Will that work how I think it will work??
also, I have 3 ports that need to connect to the ROUTER, how do I do it if I cant use my ASUS RT-AC68U? I want this for my Nest Doorbell, and my Wi-Fi outdoor cameras. Can I hire you?
I have a problem with this product after its installation, the wifi after a short time is disconnected, this is tedious because it happens very often and I don't know how to fix it. Could you tell me where I am failing if the installation is correct?

One of the longest advertisement ive seen all week

Did it increase your Internet speed?

Do You Think This Would Work With ATT Wi-Fi?
if i already have router connected to the modem do i plug this into the router or unplug the old router and plug in the deko to the modem

If the gigabit ethernet cable in deco m4 is limited to 100mbs how can you achieve those high speeds?, not making sense to me
7:13 - no doubt Ben is an andro humanoid robot :V
What channels are they on? Can you change to prevent overlapping?
I think it does that automatically like new SOHO routers do
Great review! I have this system in my home and it works great. I need to extend my signal 100 feet to my barn; will adding another unit work for this?
Just ordered one yesterday I’m waiting for it to come today thanks Amazon
Same
So the security features also mean that TP would have full access to all your personal data and browsing history.
Good work Ben. I like the security custom controls plus looks pretty powerful in comparison. Appreciate the post.
Thanks. I like those parental controls baked right in

Can you set up a 2.4GHz network to configure smart home devices that cannot use the 5GHz band (most cannot)?
The TPLink Decos basically combine all the routers as well 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz all into 1 SSID. Your smart home devices will automatically be put on the 2.4Ghz so dont’ worry about that.
Yes. I did just that - mostly for smart light bulbs.
Can I check assuming I have data points in each room for a 3 storey house, what would be my best option?
Should I get a normal router to put inside each room? Or should I get a mesh for each room?
Can I use them with my current wifi router? I ask this because these devices (in particular the so-called router) only have one an extra ethernet port whereas my current router have 6 useful ethernet ports. Great video and thank you for it.
Do you like the mesh WiFi better in conjunction with your router, or do notice a difference in AP mode?
Cool review! Before this, I was looking at UniFi, but now... Quick questions, does anybody know, can You wire all Decos to router individually? Also, can You connect something like TV or a console on the port 2 in the Deco, if the router is connected to 1?

So do you plug the main one straight into the house's ethernet input, or do you plug them into your existing router? Can you also plug devices (like gaming PCs, xboxs, smart TV's) directly into one of these routers?
That’s what I want to know, can we use a Ethernet cord for all the 3 device.. for faster speed instead of WiFi
Thanks for the review, I had to return mine today. They start advertising this homeshield pro, to pause the internet. Like seriously!, STAY AWAY FROM DECO. Go with something that does not ask you to subscribe for some basic family controls. That was restarted on their part.
Great video I hocked up this yesterday bit the last one is very weak signal is there anything I can do to make it stronger?
Exactly what I was looking for, thanks a lot for your review! I'll definitely grab a set soon.
Thanks for the great review...
can I turn off 5GHZ or manage which devices use them?
Yes both can be controlled through the app
Do you recommend getting 2x m5 or 3x m4 for the same price 2100 sqft house?
What happens to your original router once you connect mesh wifi?
Cheers, mate. Just ordered a set of 3 pcs at roughly $143.
Thanks for your very clear explanation I just bought it today Mesh Wifi system
Great video! I had always looked into mesh Wi-Fi in the past and always found it too expensive. I might have to get myself some of these as the advanced networking features look amazing!
Yes, I definitely appreciate the lower price point
Just discovered this channel today while looking for mesh routers. Great & in depth video & love the channel name 😋
Subscribed!
If you are sponsored how do we know you aren’t lying about the product?
Do these mesh routers work if you want WiFi goin to a stand alone garage about 15 feet from from main router (in house)?
Can you connect the Deco M4 to a separate Ethernet cable for faster WiFi and connect a PC via Ethernet to the same unit
Yes you can
Do you have to connect to each one or can you program it to connect to your router so you can just extend the range
very informative! question: on the ethernet connection I saw... can one satellite unit be ethernet connected to my desk top computer in center of house, which currently operates
its wifi on a tiny usb plugin on back of computer? what I saw in this video indicated the blue ethernet line plugged into another satellite unit...thanks for your tutorial!
Yes you can. You just need to make sure the satellite has power as well.
Google Email thank you! is it also possible to do similar w our master bedroom samsung
smart tv? connecting the mesh unit to it w ethernet cable to improve loading or is a second modem required? our coaxial cable should be live all over the house even though there’s no longer a cable box attached to it in that room?
Megan Copeland One modem for the whole house. Each “mesh unit” has two lan ports. You can connect your telly to one of the lan ports of the mesh to improve the connection. Hope that answers the question
Google Email thanks! so use ethernet cable straight from tv
NOT directly wired to modem into one of the extra mesh unit ports?
Megan Copeland yes
Were the units connected to each other via Ethernet when you tested them? I saw from another review that they did well when wired but likely when they weren't.
i am using wifi connection -that's why i bought em, cuz have no way to connect via cable
Should we need to pay charge for every months for this? Don't we have any wifi that works for forever in remote palace through the setlight?
If the decos are as close as 1 meter to each other, would it be a problem?
With the first one connected to modem this is replacing the wifi router. Are you able to plug a cable from it to a computer directly to the main one?
Can we loop out from one of the units into a network switch????
Do you also need a router with this? Or just plug your internet cable in.
Bought this and connects but says there is no internet access and a red light on it. I connect line to my old Net gear and works perfectly. Run a cable from that to this and get a white light on the Deco!!! What am I missing? I have fiber optic connection that goes to a power supply and straight into the home with an ethernet connector.
Hi could I use these to plug my Ethernet from my pc directly into or would my pc require a WIFI card ? Thanks Adam
Guys I can confirm these are really good I get 0-30 ping on games they are great
How far are you from the main router? Because I'm pretty far and this is my concern?
I am totally going to love this system. Thanks for this awesome video
Can i switch the main router to ap mode? Also whats the recommended spacing for maximum speed.
I’ve experimented a bit with the M4’s . I think you got to mostly keep 2 units in visible range of each other meaning no wall between them. So long as you can do that, I think they have a pretty good range. i’ve gotten about 15 feet atleast.
Can they be used individually? Like if I give one to my brother (different place entirely)
Had a 3 pack installed yesterday, worked great for few hours and all of the sudden both satellite decos aren't stable at all, and at times don't find the main deco at all.
Any ideas on what's happening? I tried setting up the mesh network all over again but nothing seems to solve the problem.
Thanks for mentioning whether or not there was Ethernet backhaul
Btw, for anyone interested, I’ve been very happy with this system. Don’t have any WiFi issues with this even with my iPad Air 2, which I think had a poor antenna design. It’s always had reception issues. The app is very simple maybe too simple
Can I connect individual units directly with router using ethernet for fast speed, Instead of connecting one unit to another unit directly using ethernet as you mentioned in this video.
If you have homeplugs, is it worth connecting these to the homeplugs for backhaul?
Graet review. Thank you. I bought this set. Can I hard wire a device directly to slave unit port,, or does my device have to be wifi enabled?
How is it working for you?. I've read some reviews on Amazon saying their WiFi signal got worse
You're talking about Ethernet Wired Back haul and yes it's supported. You can hardwire a slave unit to the main unit (the unit that's working as the main router). These deco units have only 2 ethernet ports so you might need to get a multi port switch for more ports.
can i use the ethernet instead of wifi connection to connect my laptop on the secondary node? thank you for the feedback
Do these act as one network, or multiple access points? I have a network share on one computer, and other computers won't be able to discover it if it's not on the exact same wireless network.
Ben, what do you think about Tplink Deco E4? It is slightly cheaper. Thinking of getting it online.
They don't have gigabit Ethernet ports on the back, meaning that they only support up to 100 Mbps or less. If your internet speed is less than that, go for the E4, otherwise choose the M4.
Thanks for the insights
Will this work if you have your router plugged into the phone line?
Hi. Nice review!
Does all the slave units has to be into the master unit wireless range, for connection, or can some of them bem connected between each other’s and only one connected to master unit?
Regards
Yes the slave units only need to WiFi reach another slave unit as long as the in-between unit/units can connect to the master unit. So for example master unit cable connected to modem, which is wireless connected to slave in kitchen, and as long as slave in bedroom is able to wireless connect to slave in kitchen you're sweet.

I'm wondering if this mesh system can use the same name as the router network is using. Say if my present system is named "Jimmy," can the TP mesh units be on that same name?
I am asking if its possible to connect each deco to the modem as a main and to have 3 networks
Yes. You would be splitting the bandwidth coming in to the modem. Remember you can run guest networks too though
Will this work on a Verizon Fios network? The reason for my question is my sister recently upgraded to a newer router on the Verizon network and the outside connection is more than 1000 feet away from her bedroom where she has lost WIFi connection in that part of her home.

Great review as always Ben. Just bought these. Excited to see how they perform
How did they perform? Curios
And....
I read on the Amazon reviews that the security on these is really poor??
Why are there 2 gig ports (not 3 or 1)? what are they for? That happens to the "old" router WiFi (disable it)? In the video 2 of them are connected together directly, why?...shouldn't they connect to the router ??
Can the deco be set up to be repeater instead of having 1 connected to the modem?
My main deco is connected/wired to my modem. I have another deco in my bedroom getting signals from the main deco. If I connect a lan cable to my PS4 to the bedroom deco will the performance be better instead of connecting it wirelessly?
Does each AP have a option to hardline a device? Or is it just the main one?
Good question, yes I think so
Hi I have a lot of smart home smart devices like switches , light strips , plug , light bulbs , 3 smart Tvs , 7 wifi camera inside and outside of my home , 3 Alexa and more and I just bought these , do I needed to reconnect all of my devices again ?
Do I understand correctly that one unit plugs into the modem and therefore I don't need my present router?
Am i able to use this by just connecting it to my xbox and getting faster or better internet connection? or am i seeing this all wrong?
Is it possible to use it even when my router doesnt support mesh? When I conntect them to my router?
so Mesh WiFi just extends wifi range ? is that what it all does?
I loved this device when I first got it l. Now I have spectrum service, and the device seems to keep going off line. And answer why?
Did you mix up your up/downs, or is your download speeds that much worse than your upload speeds?
Do they pass the internet to each other by electricity?
Hey does Deco automatically give smart bulbs and smart switches lower latency?
Nice Video! What is the second lan port in the back for? Can i plug it into my pc instead of connecting it to the next mesh pillar?
Yes plug into pc for better
