TP-Link Deco E4(3-pack) AC1200 Whole Home Mesh WiFi System, Seamless Roaming, 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!!!

I've often told people who comment on Facebook about bad wi-fi signals and have always told them to get themselves a Mesh router but never actually done it myself. I'm on Virgin 250 and have terrible problems with speed and constant drop outs of wifi so I bit the bullet and practiced what I preached. I scoured Amazon and finally decided on this one. I have a Virgin Superhub 3 and had massive problems when putting it into modem mode. What I didn't realise at the time, when you put it into modem mode and you want to go back into the router, it changes the IP address. My internet stopped working completely and the TP Link although connected had no internet. I came back to this very page and read some of the reviews and discovered that you don't actually need to put your router into modeum mode. When I eventually got everything working again, all I did was log into the router and disable both the 2.4 and 5Ghz signals, did an update and once that was done, I switched off my router and back on again and the same to my two ethernet switches. It then worked seamlessly. Don't mess around trying to put it into modem mode!!! I am only using 2 of the 3 units in this pack in a 3 bedroom semi. The signal is full strength and much much faster than it was before. Only been on for 2 days but no drop outs and maximum signal., I highly recommend this product which is why I have given it 5 stars. I have only given 3 stars for tech support as I didn't have to contact them. I will update this if it all goes badly wrong, but so far it's brilliant. Easy to set up if you don't mess around with your router too much, stable and a fast good signal. If you're having wi-fi problems, get this!!

***UPDATE AFTER 3 MONTHS OF USAGE*** TP-Link Mesh Extender was such a colossal disappointment I felt compelled to warn others. The WiFi constantly drops off without warning – not just on one device, but across everything in the house. It defeats the entire purpose of a mesh system, which is supposed to offer seamless, reliable coverage. The range is laughably poor. Even standing just one room away from the extender results in pitiful signal strength and slower-than-dial-up speeds. And before anyone suggests it – yes, I placed the units exactly as recommended by TP-Link’s own setup guides. The problem is, those “recommended” spots are completely impractical (like halfway up the stairs or in the middle of hallways) and still don’t deliver anything close to advertised performance. TP-Link touts impressive speeds and “whole-home coverage” – but what you actually get is a glitchy, frustrating, underpowered system that feels like it was rushed to market without proper testing. You’re better off using your mobile data. Awful product. Waste of money. Do yourself a favour and look elsewhere. ***DISREGARD THE BELOW REVIEW*** - I HAVE HAD THESE FOR 3 MONTHS NOW SO THE REVIEW ABOVE IS UPDATED. I bought these Deco E4 units to improve WiFi coverage across my home, and they do a great job in that regard. Setup is simple via the app, and the mesh system works well for seamless roaming between rooms. Signal strength is strong, even across multiple floors. However, there’s a major limitation you should know about: the Ethernet ports on the E4 units are only 100 Mbps (Fast Ethernet). This means if you use one of these units as your main router (connected to your modem), your internet speed will be capped at around 100 Mbps — even if your actual broadband is much faster. The good news is, I solved this by replacing the main unit with a Deco M4 (which has Gigabit ports). Once I made the M4 the primary router and used the E4s as satellites, my speeds jumped dramatically, and the whole system worked flawlessly. ✅ Great value for mesh coverage ⚠️ But make sure your main unit has Gigabit Ethernet ports if you want full-speed internet Ideal if you’re pairing with other Deco models — just don’t expect fast speeds if you’re relying on the E4 alone as your main node.

Quite useful for home use , no glitch in switching the network and stable network all around premises

Very impressed with this TP-Link Mesh system. It arrived yesterday and the setup was incredibly easy. I simply downloaded the app, plugged the three units into sockets in different parts of the house, and the app guided the entire process step by step. The difference in coverage was immediate. Areas that were previously dead zones, like my mother-in-law’s cottage and the lounge where we watch TV, now have full signal. Before installing the mesh we were sitting with one bar and constant buffering. Highly recommend if you are struggling with weak Wi-Fi in certain areas of the house. Simple setup and a noticeable improvement straight away. Can’t believe I didn’t know about this sooner.

Very good product it works well around our very large old house. Thank you
