The best value for money solution for mesh at home. The only downside is that everything connects to the central WiFi AP that is in the router, which means you have to consider that you can't place the 3rd one too far from the router, thinking that it will connect to the 2nd AP.
Finally stable internet throughout the whole house! 3 floors and it works without interruptions and without fluctuations in speed. Everything is easy and simple with the deco app!
Finally, I solved the problem I had with the wifi issue. Perfect signal throughout the 85 sqm house, even in the garage and on the roof. Very easy installation and with user instructions for beginners. The best thing TP-LINK has released.
The only negative is that the first one must be connected via ethernet to the router and not wirelessly... for anyone who has an installed ethernet line, this is not a problem. Other than that, it is super
The best solution for extending Wi-Fi to all areas of the house. It would be better though if it also supported MAC address filtering for whitelisting.
Finally, I solved the problem I had at home, and in the rooms, I didn't have a good signal at all despite the extender I had installed. The whole house is now covered; I have signal on the balcony, and my phone connects automatically and almost immediately to the device that serves better.
It was installed in the vacation home, one device on the ground floor, inside a "hidden" little room because that was the only place the house had a phone line for the router, the other device in the house above and the speed I get in all areas is exactly the same as the one I get next to the router. Much preferable to all the extenders I have tried, also mobile phones, tablets, and computers automatically switch the device they are connected to so you don't have to choose which mesh to connect to depending on the signal each time. I highly recommend the minimal extra amount it may cost compared to an extender, the difference is like night and day, plus you have the option to pull two ethernet cables from the second device.
With 2 units, they covered the house perfectly, but I had a gap on the balcony where the signal was minimal. By placing a 3rd one near the balcony, the problem was solved. Good purchase and easy installation with the deco app on the mobile.
It's worth every penny. It covered a 110 square meter house with walls in between.... The speed of my internet is not great, resulting in either a weak signal or being disconnected in certain areas of the house.... Now everything is perfect, it never disconnects me again.... Besides the occasional lag, it solved every signal problem I had in every corner of the house and I even loaded it with six or seven devices.... Now it catches signal outside my house.... Full control over who connects and you can immediately kick out unwanted neighbors
I hope my review can help someone and solve the problem they are facing with their internet, just like I was struggling for so many years, affecting my work and entertainment.
The PC in my room is far away from the router.
I tried WiFi, it was a joke. Next solution, Powerline. It was relatively better, but with constant disconnection issues and significant losses (especially if a power-hungry device like a water heater or microwave was turned on).
So, I decided to try the Deco and FINALLY my problems were solved.
Deco #1 was connected to the router via Ethernet, while Deco #2 was plugged into a socket near the PC and connected to it via Ethernet. The result: I am getting 95mbps, which is the maximum speed my line can handle. Ping is extremely low, although I was afraid of it.
Parallel benefit, of course, is the improved WiFi (after all, that's the main purpose).
But in my case, I finally got perfect internet on my PC as if it was a wired connection.
Easy installation with the app. I highly recommend it, give it a try if you are facing a similar problem.
No more extenders/repeaters, etc.
It is the only solution.
And it is a very good solution.
The transition between the DECOs is not noticeable, neither during WiFiCall, nor during a call on Telegram/FaceTime, etc.
Their range is greater than that of the ZTE H1600 and the Speedport Plus 2.
The mobile application is quite good.
I haven't bought it from Skroutz but from another store, nevertheless after 2 years of good operation, problems started.
I don't know if it's the device or the router's fault.
I believe that you need to have some technology knowledge.
I use 2 devices due to distance.
Although I have the router far away, from the moment I connect it either with Ethernet or with the 5 band of WiFi, it's like I have my router connected to the computer, it has tremendous stability.
It definitely worth its money for someone who wants a simple repeater to help their WiFi or speed.
However, for someone who has FTTH (fiber to the home) then technologically it is behind as a device.
I would suggest a device with more advanced technology with today's standards.
It doesn't support WiFi 6 which is the future technologically, in this aspect it's a bit old.
Technology is advancing and surely the requirements do not favor this particular choice.

This specific mesh has been installed in a house with thick stone walls where, for no reason, the signal of the regular router did not reach the upper floor. Having an M4 v2 in the living room for a 1000mbps capability, with this pair of E4, there is satisfactory coverage throughout the house, even in the most remote room, which is separated by at least 2 thick and one regular wall! I highly recommend it!
I was really excited. I was expecting and hoping it would help with the network issues at home, but it did much more. I have tried countless repeaters and still had no network in the back rooms (2-10 Mbps max when I did have it). I have several smart devices, cameras, etc., resulting in the network with 25 devices in total not being able to handle it and constantly disconnecting. As soon as I placed a DECO next to the router and one in the hallway towards the rooms... I get 52 Mbps throughout the whole house!!!!! No device lags and everything works perfectly. I want to install one in the basement as well. If it works there while I'm on the first floor, I will come back and say with even greater enthusiasm, "If you don't have mesh, get it immediately and without a second thought."
I used it to connect the internet from the basement of a building to the 2 upper floors where I have short-term rental rooms. Sometimes the signal has been lost on the top floor. Overall, I am satisfied with the product. Its price is very good. Remote management is also very easy and convenient. Additionally, Deco's helpdesk responds very quickly. It was definitely a very good purchase.
I bought 1 in the beginning for testing.
Since then, I have 3 in my possession.
It is the best thing I have bought for Wi-Fi,
stable with good range and high speeds.
Excellent! In a 3-level maisonette, one was installed on the middle level and one on the ground floor, and now there is stable and fast wifi throughout the house. The wifi speed with the Nova router (100 Mbps internet) ranged from 15mbps to 50 depending on the location, while now it is consistently 75-80 throughout the house!
Another advantage is that you can separate the network for all smart devices on the 2.4GHz frequency, while using computers and mobiles on the 5GHz frequency!
The best thing is that it was connected to a VODAFONE H 300s router and a VDSL100 line with very low signal and general Wi-Fi problems, but with the 3 E4 deco, it skyrocketed
It has been installed in a one-floor house of about 130 square meters, with walls and doors separating the two devices, and it is the best network equipment purchase I have ever made.
No router, even at triple the cost of this specific kit, is sufficient to cover the house, without obviously needing professional assistance for wiring.
Powerline extenders were the best solution for stable internet, but this meant that depending on the room I was in, I had to change the wifi.
The mesh technology is impressively fast and stable without any loss, and it creates a unified wifi network.
Its installation was simple through the application.
I haven't tried it in a layout of different floors, but I have no reason to believe that it won't work equally well.
