I went from two wireless modems, one as an extender, to this TP-Link Deco M4. Two of the three units are on the first floor, one unit upstairs. Wireless signal in the basement works off of the units on the first floor.
Previously I would get drops and slowdowns on my ROKU sticks with the traditional wireless modems. Now with this M4 system I get excellent wireless on every device in the house, and there are plenty!
Set up was simple, just required a bit of patience while the units connected to themselves. Follow the instructions when it says to connect the units while having them close to each other (same room), then relocate them as needed.
I have one unit in the far corner on the first floor, this is hard wired to a cable modem in the basement. A VOIP device is also hard wired to this unit and a telephone lead is wire. into the house phone wiring.
A second M4 unit is on the other side of the house connected wireless to the first unit. This is wired to a 5 port switch and feeds a laptop, printer, back up hard drive, and a wire to a smart TV in another room.
The third M4 unit supplies signal to the top floor of the house: ROKU, cell phone (wireless plan: Republic), Alexa dot, and a tablet or two. The TP-Link M4 is affordable and works great for a home wireless system. (two old routers slowly croaking made a change necessary)
also: each of the three unit can act as the main router, too easy.
The setup of the devices themselves was extremely easy - no real issues at all. Very "plug and play".
I'm marking it 4 stars primarily because I had quite a bit of trouble getting certain wifi-connected devices in my house to connect to the new router, primarily because the original firmware and/or mobile application didn't offer the ability to turn off the 5ghz channel. I had trouble getting my weather station, Philips Hue hub, and Amazon Cloud Camera to connect to the Deco, and I'm still unable to connect the Cloud Cam while I have the Fast Roaming turned on, so I have to live without that functionality. It seems like part of your QA process would be to make sure "Internet of Things" (IoT) devices can connect easily, since that's a key part of usability. It took me literally days to get everything connected, and I'm relatively advanced in terms of my knowledge of networking. I had to spend time doing lots of research on various forums and trial and error to get different devices connected.
And of course as soon as I had everything working, literally the next day an update came out that added the option to turn off the 5Ghz band. This is necessary because certain devices that only require the 2.4Ghz band have trouble connecting to the Deco because the Deco only has one SSID (wifi name) for both bands, so if you can't turn off 5Ghz, it seemed like devices would always get confused or if the device connected to wifi by using an app on my phone, there was no way to force my phone to only connect to the 2.4Ghz channel on the router. For example with my weather station, I had to literally set it into pairing mode and then run down my driveway, far enough to be outside the range of the 5Ghz signal for my iPhone Xs to switch to the 2.4Ghz band (2.4Ghz has better range and penetration so it goes further, but the iPhone will always default to 5Ghz if it can, because it's much faster) and once I did that, the app that came with my weather station could sync the weather station to the 2.4Ghz band of the router. If the option to turn off 5Ghz was there originally, this wouldn't have been a problem.
So overall a really solid router, and it appears they are working to improve the firmware and app. But it felt like it maybe wasn't quite fully baked yet and they hadn't done enough testing with different devices to either support easy connection for these devices, or at least provide technical support on their website to guide users on how to connect different IoT devices. I think if I had to do it again I probably would have bought the same router (especially since it was on sale) but TP-link needs to up their game with regards to QA and Tech Support.
