This is one of my best purchases and i recommend this product to anyone who is suffering from poor wifi signal from their ISP router. My plusnet router was a pain (i would like to say more but the words would not be appropriate here) at best i got 20mb and the majority of time anything from 1mb to 5mb. Well what a relief it was when i connected the Deco M4, the wifi signal was full and the wifi speed clocking above 70mb, so happy. Its the same high speed in any of the rooms. It would have been so nice if plusnet admitted their router was crap and buying Deco M4 would solve all your wifi problems. I spent months trying to get it sorted and finally just gave up. Setting up the Deco M4 units was very easy. Firstly, load the app and the app then guides you through what needs to done. First unit is connected to router with the network cable and power adaptor. The app guides you through each step. Once this is done you take the second M4 unit to another location (away from router, furthest point) and plug it in (no network cable needed). The app guides you through the process. Once this is done you then take the third M4 to another place (away from unit 1 and 2) and plug it in (no network cable needed). The app guides you through each step. Once all M4 units are configured you are ready to use the super fast wifi. You will be shocked at the speed I'm getting over 70mb. Another good thing is you can see all the devices that are connected to the M4 and lets you know how much data each of the devices is consuming (upload and download). Overall very good product and for me its money well spent. No more WiFi problems. So happy. 😊😊😊👍

This review is for the Deco M4 with 3 units. It is an annoyance that Amazon continues to lump reviews for different model/specs together! Our broadband supplier is vodafone. The broadband connection into the house is good, their supplied router is beyond hopeless. Really poor signal strength and frequent dropouts. Parts of the house had no signal at all, in the room where the router was the wifi signal would just drop numerous times in the day and no amount of changing channels or letting it adjust channels automatically seemed to resolve that. I received this product yesterday. First impression - the units are packaged adequately and look reasonably neutral and unassuming as they should. They were a bit bigger than I expected. Roughly the size of two tins stacked on top of one another but mostly these will be hidden out of sight behind units etc anyway. Maybe not the best laboratory conditions but probably typical of most users. SETUP - was simple enough although it is not quite as simple as being plug and play it isn't far off. The app appears to be very good both in terms of initial setup and then management of the devices. I turned off wireless on the original router in order that the initial tp-link device acted as the router. The setup of the first device then simply requires to be connected into the LAN on the original modem/router and plugged in. I set the SSID and password to be the same as the existing one it was replacing and, in that way, all existing devices would automatically connect with no need to adjust their connection settings. On setup of the first device it became quickly apparent that the range was already significantly better than from the existing router. I added one more unit downstairs, and one upstairs. Adding the additional devices was extremely straight forward - just tell the app you are adding a new device, plug it in, wait for the status LED to start flashing and then proceed on the app and the connection is made. Perhaps a little more info on placement would be ideal i.e. should you always aim to place devices where you register a full strength signal on your phone or is it ok to extend that more to gain maximum range. That wasn't totally clear to me but my ideal required positioning meant that I was setting up where it was showing strong signal anyway and I assume that is the best way to ensure best speeds. PERFORMANCE - With all three devices now in place I register a full wi-fi signal in every room of our 4 bed house. Speed tests conducted throughout the house show close to maximum expected through our line (78 mbps down) and so far everything has worked flawlessly with no dropouts. Streaming is fast both through internet services (iPlayer, Netflix etc.) as well as though local network from my plex media server. Assuming it remains this way then I am extremely happy that this has taken our broadband from being slow and unreliable to a smooth operator. I've used powerlines and extenders in the past, and whilst they had their place they are no substitute for either the performance or the simplicity of use we're getting through this mesh system. It just works. For every device and throughout the house. It is also good to know that, should you require to add additional units, then all deco models are compatible with one another. I don't feel a need to add a unit right now as whole house is covered but now I've seen how well these works I might get one to put in the kitchen with the view to extending wifi signal further into the garden. I read one review on here that said that these units do not work with Amazon Echo/Alexa devices. They do. In fact they state they are compatible with Alexa on the box and their is a tp-link Alexa skill that can be used although the benefit of doing so seems minimal. THE APP - A final word about the app and the additional controls that come with these units. Firstly the app is well presented. It guides you through initial setup very smoothly. Once set up you can monitor which devices have connected, which are online, the data pull for different devices etc. You can blacklist devices or set certain devices to have high priority over others either full time or temporarily (e.g. if bandwidth is an issue you might prioritise a movie streaming to your tv for a couple of hours). You can easily turn on and off a guest network and easily share connection details. The parental controls aren't something I need right now but will in the near future. You can register users and set their level of appropriate access (and adjust that as necessary). You assign certain connected devices to a user and then control when those devices have access. I can't speak to how it actually performs but it looks a simple and neat solution and certainly better than anything available through the ISP supplier. I was particularly pleased that, with one unit in the bedroom, that there were settings for the status LED. Whilst fairly unobtrusive I don't want an LED permeating through the darkness but at the same time I do occasionally want a visual indicator as to whether the device is working/connected. No problem - you can set the LEDs to either be on, off, or scheduled. I have them switched off between 10:00 and 07:00. I don't have too many complaints about my ISP but the supplied router wasn't up to the job. All in all this has been a simple solution that has essentially fixed what I considered to be a broken internet service so it's five stars from me. Only time will tell if it remains stable and if the devices are reliable. I'll update this review should anything change. UPDATE - almost a couple of years on and the system is going strong. I can't recall a single issue. I bought a further unit to try to stretch more signal out in the garden and that's worked great.

For a long while, we've experienced really poor Wifi connection in our house. Blackspots, random dropouts, can't see some devices (Sonos was the main culprit, would be there one minute, gone the next), slowness etc. So I decided to pick up some powerline Wifi extenders. While that helped clear a few blackspots, all it really did was amplify the crappy Wifi from the VM Hub. So no improvement on reliability at all. No-fault of the extenders. So I decided to switch to a mesh system to replace the VM Wifi completely. As we've got a few areas in the house that are hard to reach and over three floors, I was holding out for a mesh with a Powerline option. As this was in the sale, I took the plunge. Set up was ok, although I needed to create a TP-Link account which seemed a bit OTT. Anyway, getting all three units set up was actually pretty painless via the app on my iPhone. The main issue I had was actually with how the VM router was set up. If your a VM customer, please take note of the following: For a while, I had it set up in parallel to the new Deco network. While everything worked, I had the occasional issue with some devices getting lost or not being able to connect properly. So I decided to switch the VM Hub into "modem mode". What was supposed to happen was the VM Hub is now just providing Internet and DHCP and the Deco the Wifi/connectivity. However, everything fell apart. Any device connected to the Deco didn't have internet or might not connect. Turns out, the VM Hub will only work properly if you connect your new network (in this case, the Deco) into ethernet port 1. As I had the Deco plugged into port 4, nothing seemed to work right. As soon as the Deco was plugged into port 1, everything sprung back to life. Found this out by trial and error, save yourself a few hours. Since then, Wifi and connectivity, in general, has been faultless. My TV and VM TV box are plugged into the ethernet ports on a Deco unit and we've not had any issues watching any streaming services like we used to. Every other device on the wifi works perfectly and every blackspot has been eliminated. Sonos no longer randomly vanishes. No dropouts. Speed is consistent. It just works, which I'm pleased about. If your a VirginMedia customer and are experiencing issues with your Wifi connection, then I highly recommend you consider checking out this product, or a product like this. It will improve your connection no end. As for the Deco, it works just fine. The features with the system are pretty basic, but it's not an issue as it's a major step up from what we had. One thing I would like to see is detail on the Powerline, there is nothing in the app to indicate if powerline is being used, or the backhaul is pure wifi. However, as mentioned, as it just works, it's no biggie.

This was a purchase that took some time. WiFi dead spots in our house, signal appeared to come and go at random times. Had OK cover close to the router, but then had to use extenders into further reach parts of the house and this caused patchy coverage and annoyingly having to change WiFi networks depending on where you were in the house... the wife told me to fix it! So, read a few things on the interweb, mesh WiFi gives great coverage and high speeds. Many to choose from, and not cheap, so choose wisely... decided the Deco felt right, good reviews and price appeared good for a mesh system. I knew the set up wouldn’t be easy, I’d have to log on to web browsers and add set up protocol and IP stuff and old passwords long forgotten and be on hold for hours for tech support... while all painful, I could go through that to get good WiFi... So the box arrived - I was ready. Few hours of my time and all would be good. I unplugged the old WiFi and warned the family for the next few hours, daddy was going to be a technician (this is one thing I AM NOT!!). So 17 minutes after unboxing, imagine my surprise when the easy to use app told me I was all done!!! I simply plugged my modem into any one of the three Deco P9’s, no fiddling about in browsers tinkering with settings, just then plugging in the other two P9’s and them connecting (the app guides you through this very clearly). Then I was live... so speed test and dead spot checking time!! Now where I live we can’t get cable, so it’s traditional phone line set up only. That means 69mbps max.. that’s it! Every room in the house, every corner every cupboard even in the toilet with the door closed, I was getting 65-69mbps!!!! What!?!?? Never before had we had that speed, 40 was considered good, 45 great. Then signal is so constant, everywhere, and only one network name so you can walk around the house, and stay on one network. Sonos works like a dream, I even get WiFi half way down my garden even though all the P9’s are in the house. These things work and work well. Set up is child’s play, and quick. Signal is strong, and coverage is great. The app guide you through set up well. It’s a little clunky and dated looking, but it does the job and doesn’t lack anything. BTW - I use Plusnet as seen some comments around Plusnet settings meaning mesh WiFi isn’t an option. Well it worked here beautifully. I got rid of their router and plugged in an old (very simple) modem I had - nothing else. Then just plugged in the Deco system and now, me, wide and kids are happy and have WiFi we always dreamed off ;) Buy with confidence - these Deco mesh systems work a treat!!!

We live in a 3 bed Victorian terrace (London) using SKY Q as our broadband provider. Internet speed test (c.30 download, c.7 upload) check your speed for free by typing “speed test” into Google. Internet okay downstairs but is choppy upstairs (sometimes download drops to 7!) and sometimes signal falls out. This has been a real problem regards working from home. Video calls have been horrific at times, loading software, opening emails, internet searches.. Urgh. No explanation, just some days it works ok (not fine just ok) but sometimes everything is slow (very). Yes, I’m aware of actions to do, switching off every night, resetting sky box etc. but these have not fixed the problem. So.. I looked into this lots - wifi extenders, or this - a mesh system with “power line” backup. First off, just plugging a single unit into the sky box made an immediate difference (I don’t know why but it did). Noticeably different - speed tests upstairs were better, connection stable, video streaming and calls whilst using multiple devices. I did set up the other two units anyway just incase as the box came with 3 units. Setup, really simple, and took no longer than 20mins. Performance - wow. (Re. Powerline - I should add we had our house rewired last year so electrics are good and circuits are clear - but as stated earlier, our internet performance worked with just one unit). So £150.. but given our change in performance (and what it has meant for productivity) and the simplicity of setup - more than happy. I have tried other devices in the past (Apple airport express, wifi extenders) none have worked as well as this. Delighted. /// Update July 2023. These are now disappointing. Why? Regular drop out, despite standing next to the unit and the app is not helpful nor is the support. I don’t know why these have stopped being useful, nothing changed but we were so fed up with our internet and service we switch provider and ditched these also. Keep in mind if your provider is not great, then these won’t make a difference. FWIW we were with Sky but service was abysmal despite being on the premium package. Regular throttling and slower speeds than advertised so we switched to a proper fibre broadband and no longer need these units

Very happy with my purchase. It was very easy to set-up and the signal has been very reliable. Main router was installed centrally downstairs, 2nd router at the bottom of the stairs and 3rd router at the top of the stairs. Had the occasional signal drop when wi-fi calling using my Iphone. Not sure if the drop in signal is related to the TP-Link or something else.

I live in a 2 storey Victorian mid-terraced (brick) house which suffered from weak signal / dropouts in the rear of my property (ground floor kitchen extension / upstairs rear bathroom) and in the back garden. The ISP provided router (Virgin Media SuperHub 3) is in the very front of my property on the ground floor. Adding these 3 TP-Link Deco routers has fixed the problem completely, and I am bathed in good wi-fi coverage throughout my entire home (both floors, including the kitchen / bathroom). I placed one in the kitchen window and this means I now have great wifi in my back garden too (ready for installing a wireless CCTV camera outside). The speed of my wifi has increased compared with my original ISP provided wifi too! Setting up the Deco routers was very easy. I decided to disable the wifi part of my ISP's rotuer (to reduce power consumption and amount of wi-fi signals flying around my home). This was the only challenge I faced in configuring the TP-Link Deco / integrating it into my existing set up. I recommend doing some homework for instructions on doing this first.. as when I did this I lost connectivity for some time for some ethernet connected devices. This turned out to be because I didn't disconnect some other Ethernet cables on the router first (and not realising that the VM SuperHub 3 can only work with ONE ethernet cable plugged in when in modem mode). I was able to then re-connect other devices (such as the Virgin Media TV box) by running the ethernet cable from the spare ethernet TP-Link Deco router instead). Once I had rebooted the VM Super Hub and the main TP-Link Deco router everything came back to life fully. I don't know why this works, but it does ;-) The physical units themselves are of good build quality and are more attractive to look at than many of the competitors mesh routers. I think it represents good value for money, especially compared with other products on the market with this level of features. A few features I particularly like are: * Ability to set up parental controls for younger family members. * Automatically turning off the status LEDs overnight (to help keep things dark when trying to sleep). * Transmitting signals over the mains power cables (which I think is helping with coverage in some areas of my home). * Ability to turn on WPS from the app (to speed up the connection process for some devices) * Notification when a device is added to the network.

We live in a long, thin Victorian house and I despaired as to getting Wi-Fi to work everywhere in it. Due to the thick and numerous walls, the rear kitchen-diner has always been a particularly annoying dead spot. I have tried PowerLine adapters and Wi-Fi extenders but all have proved to be slow and unreliable. I have made a 1 gigabit hardwired LAN in the front of the house and this connects our printer, NAS, Smart TVs and YouView Box etc to our BT Home Hub 6 “Smart” router. Beyond that, Wi-Fi fails about half way to the kitchen and extending the wired LAN would be, at best, impractical. In any case, it's Wi-Fi we want in a communal area with the family collection of portable gadgets, tablets, PCs and mobiles etc. Even at close range, we have always found the BT Router to be unreliable as regards Wi-Fi. We do live in the shadow of the Crystal Palace TV Transmitter, so I suspect radio interference is another issue for us. So, trying a Mesh Wi-Fi system was a last resort! I liked the TP-Link Deco M4 solution as it supports 1 gigabit LAN connections and that enhances the speed of transfer between, say, the NAS (on our hardwired network in the lounge) and Wi-Fi devices in the kitchen. The 3-device M4 option is also currently very reasonably priced. That said, I was still more than a tad dubious as previously nothing had really solved our issues. Well, I am very pleasantly surprised - everything works brilliantly. I disabled Wi-Fi in the BT Router and connected the first Deco box to it with the supplied short LAN cable (in the lounge). I then installed the Deco APP on my Huawei mobile and following the instructions, set the Wi-Fi SSID and PW to be the same as those previously used on the BT Router. It all seemed to work so I installed the other 2 boxes - one half way to the kitchen (spare room) and the other in the kitchen itself. They came up with 'white' LED's after being configured by the App - and we appeared to be all set. However, I then noticed a couple of issues. Firstly, internet speed from any Wi-Fi device was only about 20% of that we had before. Also, there was no communication between Wi-Fi and LAN devices (eg. We were unable to print or to access the NAS). I then realised that I needed to set the Deco boxes to 'AP' mode (rather than the default ‘Router’ setting - as my BT Router is still our DHCP server). I did this easily and then noticed a firmware update was available. That took about 5 minutes to automatically download and install (using the APP). I then powered everything Off/On (including the BT Router) and it all burst into life. Everything works perfectly and connection speed is excellent. Also, for the first time, we can roam around the house with a mobile or tablet with no loss of connection. I have even found that the 'middle' (spare room) Deco box is not 100% necessary. If I power it off, we still get a usable (if just a tad slower) connection in the kitchen. However, I have left it in situ for speed and redundancy purposes. We also have no need for the optional ‘backhaul’ LAN connection. So, thus far I am very pleased indeed. I don't write many 5-star reviews but this kit has far exceeded my expectation and one month later it is still working reliably. For the first time, we also have usable 5 GHz (and not just dodgy 2.4 GHz) Wi-Fi in the kitchen! As such, I am so glad I didn't pay over twice the price for some of the competitor's kits. This does everything we need. Notes. - When switching to 'AP' mode, some of the set-up options are no longer available. However, that's fine as they are mostly still available on the BT Router which, in our case, continues to manage our network. - Set-up can only be undertaken using the Deco App on a mobile. ie. There is no option to access admin pages via a browser. That may be an issue or annoyance for some. The App is not particularly intuitive so finding some settings can be somewhat tiresome....

Excellent product

Easy to set up, works perfectly so far. App is decent as well.

Solid and easy-to-configure. The TP-Link Deco creates a seamless Wi-Fi mesh that envelopes my home leaving dead-zones dead.
