TP-Link Deco

[gingermoonman]

Thinking of getting a TP Link Deco mesh set up as not happy with my Hub 4, can people recommend a certain model an are they easy to set up?

Someone with a Hub4 (not me!) needs to comment - but they all look spot on to me.

I would say..... Deco is go 🙂

I am not sure if it is the signal that is an issue as mentioned I can stand in one place with the same device in the same environment etc and devices connected and get 3 completely different speeds from 9.28 to over 300!!! or is it??

Is the connection stable on a laptop/computer connected on a Cat5e/6a ethernet cable?

Whilst I agree with everyone else that if there is any underlying network connection issue - then that needs to be fixed. But my philosophy is get your own better quality equipment anyway as any network connection issue will certainly get sorted eventually.

That will "certainly" sort any issues you may have (now or in the future) with the Hub's ropey firmware, poor router controls and sub-par wifi - now or when the connection is 100% sorted. Mine has been totally sorted since 2001 when I invested in the first Apple Airport wireless router 🙂

So it comes down to an economic decision of whether you want to spend the seventy quid to improve those aspects of your BB experience or.... dont want to spend that if the Hub is working as well as VM designed it to.

Anything connected via ethernet is good so just the wi-fi

What is the best deco set to get?

What are the S4's like?

Have you tried splitting your SSID into two, one for 5Ghz and one for 2.4Ghz?

Are you in a FTTP area?

If not the upstream power levels look a little low.

Already being discussed on OP’s original thread 

[carl_pearce]

So we still don't know if they are in a FTTP area?
