Pros & Cons
Pros
Tplink's mesh network is capable of 2gigabit service. Coverage is impressive for a 3500 sq ft house with 1gb service. For a small apartment as well, with possibly even just a router, the 2 unit system gives full coverage.
The wifi speed and stability are exceptional, making streaming, gaming, and video calls a lag-free experience. It is fast - not the fastest - that crown goes to the orbi.
The deco competes with the prior systems mentioned. Product works great. My coworker and i both exchange that system and got this one. I wish the deco had a usb port.
Downstairs our older iphones get about 400-600mbps. We get 600mbps+ downloads speed on our s20 phones using speedtest. Gb download and upload speed. Our wired vpn speed is now equal to my speed before when i didn't have a vpn running.

The co trolls for the deco routers seem much more limited than the other tplink lines. Disabled fast roam and the beam function. No downgrade option.
The modem and router failed to connect to the internet. Siri kept telling the user to reset the modem. When the reset failed, a red light appeared on the screen.
Highlights
Quality
Good signal and working stable so far.
The security features and the app is so user intuitive!
Installed the app on my phone and went through it's setup wizard and within minutes all pods went green and wifi was up and running.
The property is stone, separated across 2 buildings, with the xe70 units separated @20m intervals either side of the nbn access point.
Price
It is worth the money for my son to be able to use his devices in his own room.
So far i'm very impressed and would recommend it as a cost effective solution.
I have a two level house and in my room i was only getting 18 mbs now i get 900 which is what i pay for.
Although the pricing is reasonable, this was a feature that i had with my old router that i replace so slightly disappointed th... Read More
Packaging/appearance
Installation (5 stars):unpackaging and setup was super simple and a breeze.
Competitiveness
Setup was extremely easy and the performance is dramatically better than the router i was renting from my isp
After trying other brands that didn't work, we were so happy that this tp link deco extender actually works.
I eventually decided to take the costco version since it’s cheaper there and i only have 1g upload/download fiber, but if you h... Read More
