Deco M9 can act as access points to extend an existing WiFi system (like with an ISP’s modem/router) or can create a separate WiFi network. While the app that you use to set up the system is good, it is not intuitive if you aren’t already tech savvy. For instance, after setting up the main Deco pod, the app doesn’t say that you have to set up satellite pods first in close proximity to the main pod and then move it to a more remote location. The Deco support reps were extremely helpful through the chat feature on the app and they walked me though the set up and reconfiguration of the system to work as access points rather than a separate network. But once set up the product seems to work well.

Lots of sellers splitting up the Costco 3-packs of the Deco M-9, which is great because I needed four to cover my house. They work great, are easy to set up, and at <$100 per unit (less at Costco) are fairly priced. The dedicated wireless backhaul sets this model apart from most of the less expensive or older units. Recommended.

Wi-Fi Mesh works as expected. It is very easy to set up, easy to manage, and performs very well. I can get full 100+ Mbs anywhere in my 3100 sqft home (wire speed from my provider). The range is very good and I can get good connectivity on my dock which is 110ft from the nearest station on a window sill. I do wish the units had a way to hang them on a wall or ceiling. There are no available mounting holes so they by default need to sit on a surface.

I've always had good technology, and we really had no complaints about our wireless router and range extender setup. Speeds were fast enough, we could login to 5ghz or 2.4ghz bands, etc. And then there was the mesh. O...M...G...!! This system is super easy to setup, provides WAY better coverage, and seemless single system availability (offers both 5ghz and 2.4ghz via single network designation), and speeds we previously only achieved via WIRED ethernet connection. We didn't know what we were missing, but we're in love with our TP-Link mesh!

Bought this to replace my aging 802.11n router and was not disappointed! At last my home network can saturate my gigabit internet connection - and not just when standing next to the base station either. The mesh network that the Deco routers create can handle three different people on three different video conferences in three different parts of the house without skipping a beat. Signal strength is excellent even in the back yard. Parental controls work. Many routers need to be rebooted periodically but I haven't needed to restart the TP Link routers yet. And although I read some reports of problems with the smartphone app, I experienced no such issues. Best home networking purchase I've made yet!
