TP-Link Deco S7(3-pack) AC1900Mbps Whole Mesh WiFi System, Dual-Band WiFi Booster with Gigabit Ports, Coverage up to 5,600 ft2, Connect 150 devices, 1.2 GHz CPU, Work Amazon Alexa, Parental Controls

I liked that this had a good spec with a gigabit Ethernet port meaning that there theoretically should be no loss of my gigabit internet signal as opposed to a previous version which had an ethernet port capped at 100Mbps - there was no point in having gigabit internet without upgrading my deco system. As my old 100mbps system was becoming very sluggish, i decided to upgrade to a newer faster deco system. Set up is really simple, virtually plug and play with a little bit of knowledge needed regarding your current wifi password and details or maybe some internet specific settings but these are readily available from your Internet provider. Once the first base unit is successfully attached the the internet, adding the satellite stations really is plug and play using just the Deco app which you will need to download. We have just these three units giving reliable 1 gig internet to a standard semi detached house which is rich with smart tech. Lighting, plugs, alarms, door sensors, motion sensors, ambient lighting, tv's, Sonos, Blink, Ring, Spotify and an internet enabled garden room. The Garden room is approximately 30 meters from base unit two - which in turn is around 10 meters from the main Deco - it really suffers no drop-outs and is reliable for all gadgets. The app gives the ability to implement parental controls and other controls which to be honest, we don't use. Simple hassle free internet around your property. Great for garden usage or for covering any blackspots.

Thought it was important to give a review on this, as this product really helped solve our problems. We are Virgin Media customer, with a Hub3 and the M500 tariff. We live in large 3 bedroom cottage. The cottage has old and new parts and walls of varying age and thickness. WiFi has been awful and Virgin have been useless at sorting it out. They provided us with 2 of their Mesh Pods and seem to refuse to give us a third. One of the Mesh hubs constantly had to be switched off and on again as it seemed to regularly make the problem worse rather than better. And we still had WiFi black spots all over the house. We have a lot of connected devices (door bell, Virgin media tv boxes, PlayStations, phones, iPads, sonos, nest, etc etc and on top of all of that I also work from home and really rely on good internet. The last call to Virgin had me nearly in tears with frustration - something about changing WiFi signals and some other rubbish. So we decided to give this product a go. The setup of the actual devices is ok, fairly easy to to work through as a competent amateur and it just sets up a brand new WiFi network in your house with the old one also still being available. The app is cool as it allows you to monitor the network for problems and it shows you what devices are connected and what the signal strength is. Haven’t stressed tested this fully yet however. What isn’t so great about the setup was the aftermath of having to set up all your devices on the new network. A simple task for some but the sonos system was a complete pain. I ended up having to reset nearly all of the devices as they just wouldn’t migrate across. The 3 pods are big (15cm I guess) and do stand out, they need to be plugged in away from large electrical appliances. They do come with Ethernet ports though - but again not tested that functionality out yet. It’s been 2 weeks since we set this up and so far so good. No black spots, speeds of at least 250/40 in areas near the pods and still around 80/40 in places we previously had no coverage. I look forward to a time when I genuinely can go back to WiFi not being at the top of my mind every day. And without wanting to jinx anything I think I am nearly there.

Bought these to replace an aged and troublesome UniFi home network. I was slightly dubious about the switchover and setup with multiple devices connecting to the network – smart plugs, smart bulbs, smart speakers, etc, but it was an absolute dream and went smoothly. Assigning the same name and password as the old network ensured a smooth handover between devices and the new network. The coverage seems to be much improved on the old system, the mesh even reaches smart plugs situated in a cabin and workshop at the end of the garden (approx 90ft). The DECO App is somewhat limited in features but using third-party software on my Mac allows me to overcome this.

Deco are good. S7s fitted in better than S5s but have moved on to Xs.

Didn't realise it came with uk plugs

It links automatically with minimum effort required for setup and covers the whole area

Why is it so hard to connect them to each other.
