TP-Link Deco E4(3-pack) Whole Home Mesh WiFi System, Seamless Roaming Speed AC1200Mbps for Large Home, Up to 4,000 sq ft Coverage, Work with Amazon Echo/Alexa, Router and WiFi Booster Replacement

Firstly, really easy next day delivery from Amazon as per the usual standard. The TP Link Deco devices were purchased not only to help boost the wifi signal around the house for a couple of deadspots, but to provide a better wireless signal generally.In January 2019 we decided to get rid of conventional broadband and fibre solutions and move to 4G home broadband. We purchased a TP-Link MR6400 4G Router and a 12 month sim only Unlimited data from Three.Initially we were super impressed with the speeds and the reliability of Mobile Internet as a home solution. We were excluded from any phone line issues that people in our street still tackled with standard broadband providers, or issues with the lines direct to older houses. We live in a good area for broadband generally with a steady 30mbs download, however the further away you are from the FTTB (Fibre to the box) the worse your internet was, we were these people im afraid and usually got a consistent 15-20mbs.However we noticed after a few months, speeds were slow, ping response from the 4G box was rubbish. Initially doing some reboots of the box resolved some issues, but not all. We have recently just moved to EE unlimited sim only data plan hoping we would see a dramatic difference, to no avail. Albeit inconsistent due to the 4g Router issues, the speed is faster with EE at up to 90mbps.So i came to the conclusion that the 4G Router must have an internal issue that effects the wifi signal it sends out, effecting the speed.I purchased these and as previously mentioned above, they arrived in great time. The box is well packaged and the product itself seems a good standard.Plug and play standards meaning i simply unboxed, power lead and ethernet into the back of my 4G router and hey presto. Download the iOS or Android app and go through the simple step by step instructions.Renamed the Deco to the name of my already implemented wifi (Dans Fibre), and all my devices previously linked to the router that was called (Dans Fibre) just linked to the Deco. (This also saves alot of time not going through all those devices you have and pairing to a new wifi name with a new password)10 minutes and my first deco was out the box and receiving 4G EE mobile data and sending it out to the house. Signal and ping speeds were massively better, however i needed to route into the 4G Router 192.168.1.1 and turn off the wireless which then allowed the Deco to be the only wireless signal we could see. Which proved my theory right about the box having an internal issue. Ping speeds were back down to a healthy response instead of the randomly fluctuating 200ms 178ms etc. Im happy with low 30ms ping speed.Continuing with my setup i placed another one upstairs and paired via the app, bang fast reliable internet upstairs.These really are simple to use, and albeit i know my way round most computer technology, im definitely not a network guy, but seriously these were an absolute breeze, and have temporarily fixed my internal wifi issues.I will still need a replacement 4G router, but that will only make things better.For what these are designed to do, they do a fantastic job. It boosts the signal around the house really well, and the intelligent switching between Deco units to provide the best signal is great.Ive only scratched the surface with some basic use, but i like some of the built in features within the app that let you prioritise device bandwith and speed, and parental controls, guest networks etc. Its great to see who is using what also including who is using all the bandwith downloading netflix 24/7.If you have home broadband or a 4G solution, this will work just fine.My situation may be different to yours for use, it may be the same. But i couldnt find any reviews that related to using in a 4G Environment.I hope this review helps other would be 4G Solution people. Roll On 5G!!!

Having moved to a much larger home and researching mesh systems, I opted for this X10 from TP link.I was concerned about the coverage, but I neeedent have been. The coverage of these 3 units is staggering. The app is easy to use and functions really well. I had the main unit and 2 others set up in under 15 minutes.The speed across my 2 storey property from my 67mb supply from BT is maintained very well across both floors of my 150 sq metre house for which one part is nearly 80 feet from the the main router and is 4 rooms away with solid walls.By following the app and TP links suggested placements you can't go too far wrong.The WiFi has been stable for the 2 weeks we have been us it and maintains a steady 50 plus mbs across the house and even reaches out to almost the whole of the garden as well with a decent speed of 25 to 35mbs and good stability.Great values for money mesh system.

I tried everything to squeeze speed out of this in Mesh mode and failed miserably. So set them all up as Access Points and they work a treat - full buna in every room. These are powerful enough to keep you connected without the MESH capability (because I switched it off) no idea how seamless it would be but it seemed to flip access points without much fuss in AP mode.Now back to the MESH setup. It appears to use the MAIN devices connection to the internet to provide the service. This blew my mind because each one of them had a dedicated connection back to a gigabit switch. I thought maybe it needed time to settle and let the much vaunted AI algorithm do its stuff but it was completely ignoring the patently obviously more secure, faster way to connect to the net - i.e. through cables back to the Gigabit switch but no it wanted to use the wireless for all the heavy lifting and because our cottage has 3 foot thick walls that was not a great idea. One of the nodes would constantly flash red indicating its lack of happiness and general confusion. Why these granted very room freindly looking access points couldn't figure out what a blind man could see is very puzzling - so obvious USE the live ethernet connection.Anyhow I gave up switched them all to Access Points and suddenly I am getting the full fibre experience that I had paid for.Perhaps the more up to date versions are a little less dumb but I have no way to confirm or deny that.Would have given these 5 stars if the Mesh hadn't been such a dumb calamity.Overall I am really happy and they look good.

Really excellent coverage, covers an outbuilding which was in in Wi-Fi not spot, now getting a steady 75-80 Mbps.Setup easier than expected, as no manual configuration changes to my vm router required.And able to keep same ssid and network and password.Review after 3 days, so can’t comment on longevity, but fingers crossed.
