  We have an AT&T gateway and have been using three older TP-Link routers as access points connected by ethernet using our home's structured wiring and a TP-Link repeater to boost the signal to our two Ring doorbells. I'm embarrassed to say but we only have 50mb/sec internet because nothing faster is available where we live, even though communities right next to us have had fiber for years. That said, the speed we have actually works just fine for everything we do, which is quite a lot. We do streaming for all our TV watching, work from home, have many Ring cameras and doorbells, and lots of other devices. The problem was that our wi-fi seemed to get bogged down and wasn't able to even deliver the 50mb/sec speed we have. This was especially problematic for our two Ring Doorbell Pros, where the video quality really suffered. Everything was blocky and blurry, I'm assuming because the cameras weren't getting enough speed and/or strong enough connection. The construction of our house likely doesn't help since the front is brick and stone. With this new Deco system, everything works and works well. We have a 3-story house, and I placed one unit on each floor. The first and third floor units are wired and the second floor unit is wireless, connected to the third floor unit above it. This configuration allowed me to place the second floor unit closer to the front of the house where the two Ring doorbells are, without the need for an extender. The system was very easy to set up and the app is great. It is easy to navigate, and settings are straightforward and easy to change. It provides lots of information on status, connected clients, signal strength, speed, etc. It's not as 'advanced' as the typical web-based router configuration interfaces but seems to have everything I needed. I have these in access point mode also, since my gateway acts as a router. I may see if I can change that at some point, but everything works flawlessly, so I may not mess with it. The great part is that I now have full wi-fi speed everywhere in the house and everything loads much faster. Live feeds on the Ring doorbells take less than a second to start and video is crisp and clear. I'm also getting excellent signal strength readings from all our outdoor cameras and doorbells, with readings in the -40s. Streaming starts faster on every TV, and we haven't had a single issue since we started using this system. Also, you can customize settings for every connected device, like which Deco you prefer it connect to and if you want to restrict it to a certain band (both default to 'Auto'). This is useful in certain cases, like for our two Ring doorbells, I set them both to preferred connection to the second floor Deco because it's the closest one. That way if it gets unplugged or there's a power outage, this will ensure it always connects to the closest one. I left most everything else on Auto and that seems to work fine, and it seems to select the best (closest) Deco. I've also had no issues with 5Ghz devices connecting to the 2.4Ghz band. Our phones have 6Ghz capability, so I specifically connected them to that network, since it has a different SSID. Signal strength and speed on that network is also excellent everywhere. I made both the main and guest network SSIDs and passwords the same as our old system. Most 2.4Ghz clients connected to the new system automatically. Any clients we had on the 5Ghz band had to be reconnected because our old system had those networks separate. That wasn't a big deal, and this new setup is simpler to work with, having both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz combined. The guest mode works great. We use that network for my wife's home-based business for her clients to connect to because it isolates connected clients from our main network and devices. You can easily turn it on and off in the app as well. I couldn't be happier, especially given how affordable this system was. I know you can spend a lot more, but wow this one is awesome and a great price. When I bought it, the price was $269 for new, but Amazon also had one from 'Amazon Resale' in 'Like New' condition for $219, which I bought. It all works fine, but when I received the product, it had a sticker on the box stating that it was 'Refurbished', which was no disclosed in the listing, which stated it looks and works like new and included ALL original accessories and contents, noting minor damage to the product box. What I received did not include any instructions or manuals and included a slip that said these could be obtained on-line and were not included with refurbished products. It also stated that it had a 90-day warranty but the original warranty that would come with a new product did not apply. While I'm thrilled with the product and it does work, I feel this was a bait and switch situation on Amazon's part. I highly recommend this system.

  I typically don't write reviews but this time I feel I really want to write one for this product. My home is is not that big (~2000 sq ft) and in the past I have been using Google Nest router with a Nest point. The next router is located in the living room and the point is in the office. The connection in office is every weak and unstable. My internets speed is 400M download but I only get around 20M download in my office, and recently it even dropped to around 1M. I tired to reset and router and place the point at different locations but still no help. And the signal on my Ring doorbell and another Ring camera right outside of garage door were also very week. My Tesla on the drive way can barely detect the wifi signal. Finally I decided to try a different router. After reading so many reviews, I decided to go with Eero 6+ and I bought the package with two Eero 6+ units. Setup process was not smooth and it took me a couple of trials to get it up running and I can get over 100M download speed in my office. Much better than before so I was happy, until soon after I realized this product has ZERO parent control functions in the App unless you pay $99/year for the subscription???? this is totally absurd. I immediately returned the Eero 6+ and purchased this TP-link Deco AXE5400. The setup process was smooth and I could setup everything in less than 10 minutes. I placed the second Deco unit at the same location as the previous Nest Point. When I tested the internet speed, I was totally blown away!!! 400+M download speed everywhere in my home now!! I should have thrown away the Nest crap much earlier and switch to this product. Why should I have been suffering slow internet connections for such a long time when paying for 400M internet? This TP link Deco router is great, and App is easy to use. The only thing needs to improve is that it is hard to tell which device is which as the name shown in the App is not obvious. For example, we have three iPhones with different name in the family but all three are shown as "iPhone" so I need some extra work to figure out which devices are kids devices in order to setup parent control. But overall this is a great product for this price.
