Maximum wireless transmission rates are the physical rates derived from IEEE Standard 802.11 specifications. Range and coverage specifications along with the number of connected devices were defined according to test results under normal usage conditions. Actual wireless transmission rate, wireless coverage, and number of connected devices are not, and will vary as a result of 1) environmental factors, including building materials, physical objects and obstacles, 2) network conditions, including local interference, volume and density of traffic, product location, network complexity, and network overhead and 3) client limitations, including rated performance, location, connection quality, and client condition. MU-MIMO capability requires both the mesh system and client devices to support MU-MIMO. Free lifetime subscription to TP-Link HomeCare is included with purchase on select TP-Link models at no additional cost. “Lifetime Subscription” refers solely to the life of the purchased device and cannot be transferred. TP-Link reserves the right to modify the service and feature at anytime.

Consumer Reports

This three-unit system is a CR Best Buy, which means it scores well in our tests, and it’s priced lower than other options in this category. The sale price makes it an even better deal. The model has six Ethernet ports to provide a wired internet connection for gadgets such as a printer, game console, or smart home hub or bridge.CR’s test results: TP-Link Deco Whole Home (three-pack) wireless router

 But if you want superior performance with lots of connectivity options, you&rsquo;ll have to spend another $200 or so for our Editors&rsquo; Choice-winning Wi-Fi 6 mesh system, the Asus ZenWiFi XT8.

Results were similar for the W7200 satellite node. Its score of 528Mbps on the close-proximity test was faster than the Eero Pro 6 (455Mbps) and the TP-Link Deco X20 (449Mbps) nodes, but couldn&rsquo;t match the Asus ZenWiFi XT8 node (675Mbps). At 30 feet, the W7200 node scored 475Mbps, impressive compared with the Eero Pro 6 (353Mbps) and the TP-Link Deco X20 (301Mbps). Still, the Asus ZenWiFi XT8 took top honors again, with a score of 619Mbps

 This is a Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) system that supports direct-to-client beamforming, WPA3 encryption, 3X3 MU-MIMO data streaming, and OFDMA packet transmissions. However, it does not support 160MHz channel bandwidth, which means it's limited to a narrower bandwidth than the fullest-featured of Wi-Fi 6 routers like the ZenWiFi XT8. 

TP-Link Deco W7200 Mesh Wi-Fi 6 System Review

 It assumes you're physically close (i.e. so you can connect) to the device, which you logically would be. But what if something goes wrong and you need to dial in remotely (say, for your security system that's on it)? You can't do that with this, at least not without extra hoops

 The reason I know it's wireless is that connecting directly to the switch via Ethernet (which bypasses the Deco completely) returns expected speeds. Rebooting the Deco is the only solution I've found, but that's not sustainable during the mid-day.  I guess I'm just old school. But I completely dislike these newer routers forcing you to use a mobile app to configure them

  ❌Some devices come in as UNKNOWN and you have to figure out what it might be based on when it was connected. In my case it did this with a cellphone, which is weird, because my main cellphone (A Note 10) was perfectly identified. So that means Deco is keying off a specific field (probably some description field) rather than the standard one every device uses (device name).  ❌WPS tends to be finicky

EDIT May 2022: I have to drop the review a star due to a recurrent issue that is now confirmed to be the Deco.  What's happening, is that internet speeds via WiFi will randomly degrade for no clear reason.  I have three routers active - a TP-Link, the Decos and an Orbi. The TP-Link and Orbi internet speeds remain unaffected, but anything connected wireless to the Deco will experience sudden, unpredictable declines

It'll do for the price

 I had to do a factory reset multiple times, each time with the same result. I finally opted to exit the app and pack it all up, but once I exited the app, my device connected.  I followed through with connecting the other two units without a hitch, and wifi speeds in the home that were previously in the 10mb range are now right at 50mb. A definite improvement!  My second problem arose when attempting to connect my smart air conditioner, which only operates on the 2

 You do have the option to turn off either network (2.4 and 5Ghz) You can log in manually to the router at tplinkdeco.net, but it offers even less options than the app. While getting consistent d/l speeds right at 50mb using the speedtest, spectrum, and fast websites, using the speedtest built in to the app tells me I'm getting 115mb

  I have had the unit operational for 2 days so far, and speeds are definitely improved over the previous Archer C8 AC1750 router (which had no issue when in the home, but failed to reach the whole house when moved to the exterior office).  Overall, I would say the unit works as intended (so far), but I am disappointed in the inability to choose which network you connect to, and the inability to choose your wifi channel. You do have the option to turn off either network (2.4 and 5Ghz) You can log in manually to the router at tplinkdeco

Honest review from a techie

 With the speed improving by about 60 mbps for 5ghz and 12 mbps for 2.4ghz down. Upload remained pretty constant.  There's really only two complaints I have about these

 So now my units run cool as can be.  I found the signal for these to be just as powerful as the Eero units that cost much more. After several months, I have not had to reboot these once, nor have I lost internet whatsoever. Even with two kids playing online games and my wife and I streaming on our TV (and sometimes YouTube to boot) we never had significant loss of bandwidth or excessive buffering

 The one directly wired to my PC from the modem is putting out slightly over 450 mbps download and nearly 25 mbps upload. Wireless signal at the furthest point in my house from the main unit is around 140 mbps down and 16 mbps up with a device using 5ghz signal. Devices using 2.4ghz get around 30 mbps down and 12 mbps up from the same distance

 After several months, I have not had to reboot these once, nor have I lost internet whatsoever. Even with two kids playing online games and my wife and I streaming on our TV (and sometimes YouTube to boot) we never had significant loss of bandwidth or excessive buffering. I couldn't be happier with our purchase in the end. It is definitely worth purchasing the additional wall mounts along with these if you are in a similar situation to our household

Well Worth the Money

 For example, her devices do not have access to the internet between 10pm and 10am. Her profile is set to 2 hours a day. She would attempt to get online at 10am and insights would show multiple hours used and wouldn't let her online. I would have to increase the daily limit to allow her to get online

 We had friends in town and also have a couple of home based businesses, so finding the right time to do the upgrade was important. I'll be honest, after a week I forgot I had received the email, but someone from TP link called me one evening to see if I had done the upgrade. I hadn't so I performed it while she stayed on the phone.  I'm happy to report that the parental controls are now counting the time used correctly

Worked great until latest firmware update

 I was supposed to be getting 200 Mbps through Spectrum. I noticed that if I bypassed the router my speeds increased to almost 200Mbps.  After hooking up the Deco M5 my speeds show 213 Mbps. Setting up was very easy

Just hooked up my 3 Deco m5's. Previously I was using an older Netgear router and my Internet Test Speed always maxed out at about 70Mbps. I was supposed to be getting 200 Mbps through Spectrum. I noticed that if I bypassed the router my speeds increased to almost 200Mbps

  After hooking up the Deco M5 my speeds show 213 Mbps. Setting up was very easy. I have the main Deco in the basement where the modem is located. Then I have the other two on the main floor spread out evenly

Works Like A Charm: Almost

  It does provide signal to the opposite end of the house as well as out in my garage now, which was the goal.  The only thing keeping it from 5 stars is the further "daisy-chained" the units are away from the main unit that hard wire connects to your internet, the slower the internet speeds get.  So, while I do have a strong wifi signal at the far end of my house now (the end of the daisy chain), the download speeds are about 1/3 what they are at the start of the daisy chain.  That is more loss than I would expect so only 4 stars

I couldn't get wifi signal at one end of my house

Great Coverage, Stable, but lacking some key features

 I spent $140 plus on this POS. Called customer service and waited 15 minutes before line transferred to the twilight zone. Said hello several times. No one there

Horrible Customer Service

  You can set up a guest channel to separate the two, but that leave you with 2 separate networks that cannot intercommunicate.  

Some issues to ponder.
