I had a bit of difficulty understanding your post, but will say this... The major benefit is that it is a mesh system, if you're not getting good coverage with your current router, them a single module would only offer minor benefits... I'd recommend using two modules (at least) through a 3 bed house... That should be plenty and should help with whatever is happening in the attic. Put one downstairs and one upstairs on the opposite side of the house.
Kewl..i guess what i was trying to say is by using a nest wifi router on its own would it have the range over the ISP router to the attic room..i know that’sa lot of its and buts
Ifi went for a the nest router plus a nest point (€84) in the attic room .. my impression from reviews is that the speed on the point would not provide great speeds
Folks. This may be a silly question but if I buy 2 of these (2 x 2 pack) will they all work together? It works out cheaper than but the 3 pack.
TP-Link Deco S7 AC1900 Whole Mesh Wi-Fi System, Dual-Band with Gigabit Ports, Coverage up to 3,900 ft2, Connect up to 150 devices, 1.2 GHz CPU, Work with Amazon Alexa, Parental Controls, Pack of 2 https://amzn.eu/d/1RnlCBH
If you buy two packs you'll have 2 "routers" and 2 "Satellites".
You can absolutely use the satellite from the 2nd pack to give you 3 nodes in the mesh , but not sure if the 2nd "router" unit can be added as a satellite though.
** Actually - Just reading the spec and it seems the TP Deco units can all act as either a router or a satellite.
Don't think that's the case with my netgear kit for example
I have the Nest wifi 2 pack and added a single module of the older Google wifi which is a router/satellite... Woks good...
just as a heads up on Eero. Amazon usually on ship to the UK but I was able to order one yesterday. Must be a glitch on their side but it has despatched. It's the Eero 6 and is on sale for 65 quid.
Why don’t Amazon ship the Eero stuff to Ireland, but will ship equivalent products from TPlink, Google etc?
I am just wondering if anyone on here has the TP-Link Deco P9 system? does it have automatic reboot yet?
No idea tbh. I know Eero Protect not available here.
Probably down to support, Amazon currently don't have support setup in Ireland for most of their product
Firestick doesn't ship here etc
I have noticed the free returns with Amazon now gone on items and you get up to 9 pound paid if returned
The TP Links are great because they can replace your ISP's router if you have Siro, FTTH or FTTC.
The useful thing is they have PPPOE support and also VLAN tagging. Just saves on the extra clunkyness.
The Tenda Nova's don't allow VLAN tagging.
The Mercusys do have VLAN tagging. I think they're owned by TP Link.
This is a great bargain at 74.99. 3-pack; Gigabit ports, VLAN tagging / PPPOE etc.

I have eir modem and I bought Deco M4, do I have to disable the router wifi?
That's up to you. I've turned my router into a bridge modem... I can still plug Ethernet cables into it, but it doesn't emit a wifi signal...
I found the wifi seemed to conflict and performance was affected so I turned it off and just kept the mesh wifi
You can remove the eir router completely and use one Deco as your main modem/router. Only thing is you lose the home-phone capability..
What kind of broadband do you have?
Fire TV Stick International Version with Alexa Voice Remote | HD streaming device
1 Gb
Ideal, you can definitely replace the Eir modem then. If you need the settings let me know / drop me a message 👍
Just wondering if anyone has come across this, I have a Unifi Wifi network, I only have 2 U6 Lite which is probably a bit light for the area but I have decent coverage. I do have a seperate wifi network for work, this is a Huawei Mobile BB device.
I have a Mac and when I connect to the work wifi it works fine, if I swap back over to the Unifi I have all sorts of speed issues and saying it's not connected to internet. This is while devices which are always connected to the Unifi work perfectly. Some times the only way to get it to work anyway correct is a reboot. Even now I have connected to the unifi and internet speed is terrible, tried a speed check and after 2-3 times I get 70+ connection.
Any idea's what would be happening? THanks
Try some of the suggestions here or look for similar threads ?

Thanks, trying to use the advice from here and set the channel to 44....seems to be working a bit better so far
Thanks again for advice
I have one nest router which is in the playroom which is at one side of the house
i find the correction poor in the living room which is approx 15-18 ft away North west in an L shape through the hall .. maybe 25mb
in the kitchen the signal appears faster which I’d the opposite direction north east
But if i speed test directly 2 floors north in the attic room the connection strength is much better 150mb+
there’s no block walls in the house
Would this be normal for signal to be poor going east west as opposed to north south or could it be more interference related
Speed or signal strength, they are different things. For a comparison of coverage measure signal strength not speed
Anyone got the TP-Link XE75? Thinking of getting it from amazon Italy for under 400euro, will just have to buy the adapters for the plugs which isn't ideal but still nearly 200euro cheaper than buying it from the UK.
I bought these for a brother to use the powerline, he said it is great compared to other mesh systems we have tried
I know its not the exact same but it is part of the newer range TP-Link have released which look to be a good step up
Hi, odd question here. My brother & I live in a converted house, two separate apartments and a shared office space, and we share a 500Mb broadband connection to minimize costs. The office and apartments are on separate esb connections.
We currently use Tenda Nova MW6, and they are ok, and have worked since 2019. As we have separate electricity supplies, they create the mesh using WiFi. But I've always wondered about using the electricity cabling for a more robust solution. And with more devices using WiFi 6, I'd like to upgrade.
Would these TP links be suitable? Ie, do they have a WiFi backhaul as well as using power lines? I remember using TP Links powerl Ii ne adapters back in the day, and they didn't like power extensions, so I'm not sure they would cross supplies.
Neither of us are really 'smart' home enabled, though I have a couple of Google Home speakers, but we do have a number of devices, PCs, laptops, tablet, smart phones/TVs, probably about 20/25 or so.
Or, is there a better WiFi backhaul based mesh system then the Tenda MW 6 we currently use?
TIA!
Speeds
Those ones work across a single power network, he had a specific requirement with concrete floors and not able to run a dedicated ethernet
To get the best value I would look at getting Unifi system and then use a Unifi long range connector between aparments of office if required for distance
Thanks @redlough . Not much distance involved really, but I'll look at the Unifi system.
They have to be run on a network is the only thing but are great, I have bungalow so ran it
I had the multiple mesh wifi systems before and the TP-Link are good alright and the newer one as posted seems to be a lot better so if you cant run cables they are probably one of the top ones
Can any of the Deco mesh systems replace specifically a Sky fibre router? It's not clear from their specs that they can. Is it easy to do? Easy to get the settings needed?
Am I correct in thinking that I could plug an 8 port switch into a satellite mesh unit and it would effectively have a high speed wireless link back to the base unit?
Thanks!
