I really am loving this so far. What are the biggest problems you have at home with your Wifi network?

This is probably one of the best, most thought out thorough reviews of a mesh wireless network system I've seen on YouTube. Rock On! I've been debating on upgrading my Wifi system and with Amazon's Prime Day discount on this system your review gave me the information I needed. I work in IT and really appreciated your thought process in putting the video together and going through the advance features was spot on. Great review, keep up the good work!

Haha, she sounds just like my wife. “I don’t know, it works. What more do you want?” Lol

I have 6 M5s and M9s around my house and I love them! There aren’t any dead spots anymore, and the WiFi is super fast and affordable! Highly recommend.

about to upgrade my Google nest with a tp link axe5300 wifi6 E. What’s a good Ethernet cable for Ethernet connected devices?

[dankelley]

Just an excellent tutorial on this WiFi mesh system! Great job covering all the important aspects of using and installing!

Thanks for the video. Like most Mesh systems, this one functions best when you use the nodes in AP mode, assuming you have wired Ethernet available in the preferred locations. I appreciate you setting them up in a real-world scenario. I haven't tried this particular system but with every other one I did try, the nodes had trouble seeing each other on different floor of my home of a little over 5000 Sq ft. I suspect mesh is viable in certain environments but not so much for larger, multi-level homes.

So thorough! Thanks! I use Eero myself and it’s been awesome, but this system was in the running. Seems awesome!

One of the best review videos I have ever watched. Very thorough. Great job, my friend; I will subscribe and buy the device. I am glad it is on sale now on Amazon for $139.99. Since Xfinity cut my MoCa system off, my first level has had issues with WiFi. I hope this works!

The 2 ports on the unit are not an "ethernet input and ethernet output port" they are just ethernet ports that function as input/output in this configuration because they detect that the one port is from a modem and the other port is connected to downstream devices. In your configuration that's a very nice large Tp switch (good choice, lol). All of the other Mesh nodes see only Non-modem direct connected devices. There is no input/output involved.

Honestly, that's the best review of a wifi mesh setup that I've seen. And I've been watching them non stop for weeks. I'm not sure if I'll get this setup, but great review 👍 Got a new subscriber

just my two cents... I would limit the wifi signal to a zone within my house instead of extending it too far out. this is a very bad idea in terms of securing your network as it will be exposed. I would suggest reducing the power to limit the coverage outside the house or to move the node to reduce the signal too outside. just a suggestion. :)

This video helped me device on getting these devices. Also appreciate @26:41 when you pop out from behind the plant and continue casually discussing the set up. I will steal the idea of hiding the device in the bamboo planter as it looks great.

This is the best video I saw so far on deco setup and home setup, very helpful.

[AnshulAdhiya]

The dongle used to connect the laptop must be USB 2.0. Hence, the slow speed. USB 2.0 has a theoretical limit of 480 Mbps.

[gthao]

So you pay for 1GBS, but only get 300mbs with WiFi? What would you get if you only pay for 400mbs?

[brendanmurphy]

I am confused why you are not getting 800-900 Mbps upload and download on the backhauled ethernet wifi units? Shouldn't you be getting your Gigabit speeds if you have a wired connection? Why would you not be getting full speeds to the other router units?

[PauloSilva-teec]

What a great detailed explanation on how to setup your Deco X20 system. It helped me a lot. Many thanks!!!

[felipemarquez]

The only things that are still need to do some work on, it's the ability to manually choose the satellite connections (this is done by software, can't select) meaning that you can have lower Wifi connection because the satellites are trying to connect to the main router instead to the closest satellite unit. The second thing, it's the ability of your item to select to what satellite to connect (same issue). I had to do a lot of arrangements and connect them with ethernet.

[VaiRostampour]

I’m surprised your backhaul Ethernet setup only yielded 300+ on the Pixelbook and 700+ on the MacBook. Shouldn’t it be full speed as it’s essentially wired back to source?

Great video by the way, very thorough.. appreciate the effort you’ve gone to demonstrating all configurations
