Affordable Mesh WiFi: TP-Link Deco M4 (vs Google WiFi Speed Test)

Huge thanks to TP-Link for sponsoring this video.
The #DecoM4 Mesh WiFi is an affordable whole-home WiFi system.
With my three pack, it's rated to cover up to 5,500 sq ft, handle up to 100 devices, Mu-Mimo, IEEE 802.11 k/v/r roaming support, dual-band AC1200, band steering, AP steering, self-healing, and a whole lot more. Their mobile app is nice too, with cloud (remote) management of the network, Alexa and IFTTT integrations, monthly usage reports, port forwarding, AP mode, guest network with VLAN, and in-depth parental controls. #TPLink #ad

Just got these and THEY'RE AMAZIIING. Works as advertised and easy af to set up

The images you used in the speed test section of the video appear to be intentionally misleading. You have taken more samples on the Deco and made it look as though the bar represents the speed test results.

I got these (3pk) can recommend them, full stable coverage everywhere in the house devices roam without any dropping. Easy to setup.

I wish SONOS speakers had all these features :)

Good work Ben. I like the security custom controls plus looks pretty powerful in comparison. Appreciate the post.

What a coincidence I just had them installed few mins ago, very happy with results all dead spots are gone.

Thank you! My wife is a remote nurse (case reviews of complex patients). We had plenty of Mbps but not to her study (10-15 Mbps).

I hooked up the Mesh TP system and she started immediately receiving around 190 Mbps. She is very happy! If I can set it up, anyone can.

Exactly what I was looking for, thanks a lot for your review! I'll definitely grab a set soon.

Minor tip for anyone who bought a used device, you might have to reset the device to set it up properly. The reset button can be found underneath the device and pushed with a thin object (press till it flashes yellow)

Deco M4 probably the best thing I spent money on in all my years of using WiFi which was so unstable and annoying every other day. Fixed every issue, speed and bandwidth.

[johnmacward]

That's exactly what I was looking for - 802.11K/V/R standard.. .trying to find out how the nodes kick your phone off one so it will be taken up by a better closer one was what I wanted to know. Modern devices are notoriously sticky even when 50m away and so I doubted that they'd work properly. Thanks for the info !

Just discovered this channel today while looking for mesh routers. Great & in depth video & love the channel name 😋

I found out that the only difference between S4 and M4 is the certifications (aside from the form factor). There are 9 certifications that S4 doesn't have compared to M4. Does it affect the performance of S4 compared to what M4 can provide in terms of connectivity?

Agree.. I set it up at my mum's double storey home and both upstairs and downstairs have similar speed now. (Upstairs is where I place the main unit). Totally worth the investment. I could even play pvp games without issue downstairs now.

Using xiaomi wifi extender downstairs was a nightmare as its speed and latency were horrible. Often have users dropping out of the wifi too.

if i already have router connected to the modem do i plug this into the router or unplug the old router and plug in the deko to the modem

[Fabiodecastro]

If the gigabit ethernet cable in deco m4 is limited to 100mbs how can you achieve those high speeds?, not making sense to me

Great video! I had always looked into mesh Wi-Fi in the past and always found it too expensive. I might have to get myself some of these as the advanced networking features look amazing!
