Review: TP-Link Deco E4 Whole Home Mesh Wi-Fi System, Seamless and Speedy (AC1200) for Large Home. I recently switched my broadband provider from sky to talk talk, with sky my router was linked to those 'Q' boxes around the home, I had 2 separate 'Q' boxes and these acted as hotspots for the WiFi signal, as I live in a town house with 3 floors, I had my router on the middle floor and a 'Q' box on the top and bottom floors, my WiFi was fine. With sky gone I just had a single router on the middle floor and this wasn't giving me no where near enough speed on the ground and top floor. I do have an ethernet cable running down from the router to the ground floor straight into a PC but this didn't help my mobile, internet radio and various I.P. cameras dotted around the house. This time yesterday I was having constant dropouts of signal on my phone, laptop and the radio in the kitchen was just stalling and buffering constantly. As I type this review, one hour after installing this 'Deco' mesh, I'm enjoying lighting internet connection in my kitchen using the 5Ghz WiFi network with link speeds around 800Mbps, now that's what I'm talking about, this product actually works and work it sure does. Put it this way, without this mesh system I measured a link speed of 22Mbps Receive and 8Mbps Transmit speed with my laptop in the kitchen (ground floor), now, I've recorded, see photo, 866Mbps Receive and 780Mbps Transmit----Massive improvement!!!!!! This product won't speed up the internet speed coming into the house from the cabinet but it sure will allow your devices to make the most of the speed available, it's just like I've got my laptop hardwired up to my router :) So it's worth the money, every penny of £84.98, I can't fault it, marvellous stuff. I will talk further about set up and quality, I'll try and keep things as straightforward, I'm no expert on these things so you're in safe hands :) ???? Packaging and delivery This set comes nicely presented, the box depicts illustrations of the product along with all the features and some specifications. The 3 mesh units are nestled in a cardboard tray. ???? Package contents 3 x Deco Mesh units 3 x Power adapters 1 x 2m ethernet cable 1 x Instruction booklet (it isn't really an instruction booklet, it just tells you to download the App) ?? Setup You must download the App, 'TP Link Deco', to install this mesh unit, otherwise installation isn't possible. From unboxing to fully setting up takes up to half an hour, that's with all 3 mesh units positioned and connected. The App does all the work for you, just follow all the on screen instructions and Bobs your uncle! ? Function and quality The quality is top notch, a nicely finished bit of kit, all 3 mesh units are the same, they've a rubber non slip base, this will also prevent any surfaces getting scratched. They're rather tall, I'd say about 21cm with a diameter of around 6cm, although they aren't really round as such. Each unit has 2 ethernet ports thus allowing any devices to be plugged in if they don't have any WiFi capability but please note that using the ethernet ports on this mesh unit has a slower speed of 100Mbps as compared to the blazing WiFi speeds, I did notice a reviewer on here complaining about the 100Mbps speeds, they must be using the ethernet port, if they switched to using WiFi then their moaning would be solved :) Back to the product, each mesh unit has an individual power supply, this has a cable length of about 1.8m, this is long enough to allow for good positioning. I nearly forgot to mention the top grill and LED indicator, the grill is basically an air vent and allows for good airflow to prevent any over heating. The LED indicator is positioned inside the grill, it isn't bright at all and even though you can switch the light off, there's no real need to be honest. The set up was very easy, a breeze, even for me, when I set up WiFi boosters and the likes I always encounter problems but this was so easy. First off, download the App, open the App, set up account using a name and password. Then follow the on screen instructions, plug the first mesh unit into your router, switch on the power, wait for the LED indicator to flash blue, connect with the App using the onscreen prompts, once connected it will ask you if you want to connect more, tap yes, go to the next mesh unit, plug in, wait for blue light to flash, follow onscreen prompts, then go to the last mesh, follow instructions onscreen as always and job done! Magic stuff!!!!!!! One thing I will mention, I wanted this mesh to transmit my router SSID and keep the same password, this is possible, during set up of the first mesh unit the App will ask you to input a SSID and password for your mesh, I copied my routers and inputted that. What I then did was access my routers admin and switched off the WiFi signal coming from the router, this stops any confusion with my devices in the home, thus as far as my mobile phone would see is still the same SSID and password as my router but in fact the phone was connecting to the Mesh unit instead because I had named it the same. If you're unsure of how to access your routers admin settings then look it up online. If you're still not happy about doing that then just call the mesh unit anything you want and set your own password up, this way your phone or laptop would see your old router SSID and the Mesh with a different name. So within half an hour I had all this set up, I was quite chuffed with myself and I must say that the designers of this bit of kit have actually spent some time on developing the App to allow not so techie people like me to breeze through it. So all my I.P. cameras and other WiFi enabled devices connected immediately to this mesh unit, as I had named the unit the same as my talk talk router with the same password. The most noticeable difference was the sheer speed at which I was browsing the internet on the ground floor and the top. The link speeds had improved by 4000%, that's a crazy figure but true. Rather than just relying on the 2.4Ghz WiFi signal, my laptop and phone hops on to the superior 5Ghz band, the 5Ghz band allows for faster speeds over a shorter distance, your laptop will normally use the 2.4Ghz band automatically if your WiFi signal is weak but allows for a greater distance from your router at a slower speed. The App is very user friendly, it will perform a test to ensure it's all working in tip top condition, check security, speed, strength and all that techie stuff. You can also see which devices are connected to each of the Mesh units and it will show the I.P. addresses. There's the option to select any of these devices and use the parental control system, individual devices can be linked to a profile, say your child, then you can set limits and times, so I can link my sons tablet, phone and laptop to a profile and then set times and if I so wished disable the internet for him, extreme I know but useful. Alexa and Google Assistant is a feature available with this mesh unit, however, all I found was useful was asking Alexa to open up the Guest network. So if you have some friends come over they can immediately access your internet without having to tap in passwords, so 'Alexa, open guest network', and she obliges. I did ask her to run a speed test but she said it wasn't available on the Mesh units I had, now that's a shame because it would've been cool to get her to run the occasional speed test for me, no matter, I shall just use the Alexa for opening the Guest network. Before I forget, when connecting for the first time with the App, it will ask you for the model, select E4. ???? Conclusion I'm very impressed, buying this mesh has improved my home network big time, well worth the money, don't buy any other WiFi booster, but buy this one. Apparently this Mesh is compatible with all Internet Providers, mines talk talk so I can't really vouch for any others. Very highly recommended. ????Specifications Wireless speeds - 300Mbps on 2.4Ghz and 867Mbps on 5Ghz! Mesh - 802.11k Access Point Mode Guest Network IPV6 compatible 2 ethernet ports on each module offering up to 100Mbps ?Packaging Recyclability The outer packaging and inside tray is made from cardboard and can be fully recycled, the minimal plastic packaging inside can't be but full marks to the manufacturer as it's basically 99% recyclable overall.

Review: I recently bought the TP Link Deco E4 mesh wifi system to improve the range and stability of my home wifi set up. All the information about the Deco E4 suggest that it can handle 300mbps at 2.4 Ghz or 867mbs at 5Ghz in total 1167mbs. The only other thing I could see advertised was that it had fast ethernet ports to plug them into your router. This sounded good to me, my wifi was 60mbs which I was going to upgrade to about 250mbs, so I bought the set of three to create a wifi network throughout my house. After receiving the units I happened to come across a technical review for the Deco E4 when I was looking for videos on how to set up a mesh wifi network. There is one major flaw with the Deco E4 due to the fast ethernet ports which are 10/100 ports which mean they can only handle wifi speeds of up to 100mbs. If you want faster speeds you need 10/100/1000 ports referred as Gigabyte ports, which can handle speeds greater than 100mbs. I contacted TP Link technical support who confirmed this was correct and that I would be better off with the Deco M4 which has the 10/100/1000 Gigabyte ports. It appears that the fast wifi speeds advertised refer to the speed the units speak to each other not the speed you will get on your PC etc. If I had not seen the technical review of the Deco E4 I would have set them up, which would have been a complete waste of time and money when I upgraded my wifi speed. To be fair all the reviews re the Deco E4 are good just that the technical review stated that they are no good for wifi speeds greater than 100mbs. Also the TP Link technical support were very good they replied to my enquiry the next day and stated that they were sending on my query onto their technical and marketing departments. I have since bought the Deco M4 system which is set up and working fine. Review submitted for anyone else like me, that if the box states 300mbs to 867mbs that's what I expect the download speeds to be on my PC and other devices.
