This Makes Your WIFI Better? - TP-Link Deco X20

 

WiFi is basically a necessary way to keep connected to all of our devices, and sometimes coverage isn't the best. This might be a way for you to get a better WiFi signal everywhere in your house!

“90mbps is not great but enough for a video call” Linus my dude, most of us are trying to deal with sub 30mbps as a maximum in the house, 90 is living the dream.

There’s a whole generation that doesn’t think of “wireless access point” when someone says WAP. Damn.

Just so you guys know. In the video Linus said that’s he thought the second satellite deco had to be in-range/ connected to the main deco. While you can have it connect to the main node, it can connect to the satellite as well (wirelessly or via LAN cable) in case you have a more linear set-up vs a more 2-d one. Linus’ setup is known as a star set-up while the other is called daisy chain.

I sprinkled 6 entry level Deco E4 around my farm, 2 hidden in waterproof boxes, only 2 of them hard wired and I enjoy mesh networking all around the yard and in all buildings. Great product!

I know this is a SPONSORED video, but I’d love to see a video on ASUS’s AI mesh system that just uses whatever ASUS router you already have. Or a full mesh roundup (that includes the ASUS).

I have this same unit and all plugged in with an ethernet port, amazing connectivity through my whole home. I strongly recommend for the price.

It's funny how smartphones can efficiently hop between cellular network base stations all the time, but at the same time they're dumb enough to not do the same with wireless lan.

How did you miss the opportunity to call your network “Li-Fi” instead of Linus Wifi

[redcovenant]

I’ve been running 3x Deco M9s through our house and they’ve been amazing with no issues, great performance and very simple setup. One thing you missed Linus is that unlike other APs and Wi-Fi extenders or boosters, these mesh networks play nicely with other Wi-Fi systems like Sonos.

Sonos and other similar Wi-Fi networked systems don’t work at all, or intermittently on boosters or normal APs, but the Deco mesh network has been flawless. Small but important difference and the main reason I went for the Deco range

I can attest for this product. Recently got a 2-pack and the speeds are exactly the same as the primary node. Just make sure to put the second node in a place where it gets good signal from the main unit!

I've been setting up some of the lower tier deco systems for friends who are less tech savvy. The deco M5 dual AP kit is great for most homes - always hardwired together.

TP-Link broke my non-ax wifi for over half a year before they finally released a patch to fix it and this is on one of their flagship 802.11ax routers. I wouldn't trust them anymore.

The description says the code will give 20% off but it gives $20 off (which puts it at $199 before tax, which is what the video says)

"90 mbit/s is better than nothing"

I’ve been using two of these Decos for about a year, connected by Ethernet. Small apartment, but extremely thick concrete walls always screwed up Wi-Fi. (Bought a wifi6 Asus router first but they didn’t deliver the mesh functionality they had promised on launch 🙄). Very good experience. Rock-solid performance and high speeds. The only problem has been UPNP which Xbox seems to struggle with on this router. The app for monitoring the network, even remotely, has come in handy too.

[Phantix]

We use decos in our home not because we have large area to cover but because we have insanely thick walls so we pretty much only had wifi in the same room as the router works like a charm

[insparks]

The best thing about the relative recent mesh systems (Deco X20 included) is that they have dual antennae. One for transmitting and one for receiving. This way, if you were to daisy chain them wirelessly, you don't actually get too much of a performance degradation towards the end of the chain. I found with a modest house size, 3 Deco X20s has been great, and my room which is upstairs and a few rooms away from my primary router, can hit my ISP's rated bandwidth of 500Mbps. This is a huge improvement over the 80-100Mbps I used to get with my old router.

[jorceshaman]

I've had 3 of the x20s in my house for about a year now. They're great! Solved my issues with wifi smart bulbs constantly disconnecting.

[Blobber.t]

Fun fact. TP-link just teleports you to the fastest WAP within the area. I mean it might screw you up but fun fact

Just installed the TP-link Deco M9+ mesh in my 3 story house, and it works like a charm.

Really impressed, and the added functionality is great - would recommend for anyone with WiFi range issues.
