Deco E4(1-pack)

I am a Plusnet customer and I have always been pleased with their quality of service. However, my WiFi service was not so great. Speeds were fine if you were close to the router, but the range wasn't wonderful. Also, it would drop out completely every couple of days and I would need to reboot the router. All of these issues have been solved by my Deco mesh network. The network is very easy to set up. The app guides you through every step of the process. The first unit plugs into your router and then each additional unit connects to the nearest unit with a strong signal. Setting up the additional units only takes a couple of minutes each. I live in an old house split over four floors, but I now get a strong signal on any of the floors. I initially bought a 3-pack and later added a fourth unit. Benefits: (1) Strong and reliable WiFi throughout my home. (2) Never loses the connection. (3) Seamless performance when moving from one part of the house to another. (4) Incredibly easy to set up. (5) Guest network feature means you can safely give out a WiFi password without potentially endangering your home network security. Problems: None.

Why did you choose this product over others?: These are excellent producs with one installed at home and another at a remote location. They work extremely well - though occasionally some streaming services seem to pause for a time - Apple and the BBC are some of the worst offenders. Hard to tell if this is the Deco device or the streaming service. The other annoying aspect is that at precisely Midnight every night, they stop working. I found that this is because Vodafone here in the UK turn off certain frequencies at midnight every night so diabling the device which does not autoswitch to an alternative bank of channels from the cell site. Solution? I have configured the device to auto-restart at Midnight+1 minute every night. It means I get a 2-3 minute break in service, but it resolves the problems caused by Vodafone UK.

Excellent, works as intended with simple setup. Not too bad a price with decent speed although coverage isn't all that great.

If you have any issues with WiFi in your home that is broadcast form your internet providers router these mesh units will sort it out. Bought 3 spread around the house. Very easy set up, turned off WiFi from the router and broadcast the units WiFi with the same SSID so no need to reconnect all the WiFi enabled devices. Now anywhere in the home we get access to to fill bandwidth from our ISP. Bandwidth diminishes the further away you are from the WiFi source - MESH sorts that out

We now have three of these across our home, to get rid of the blind spots in the bathroom and two of our bedrooms. Those blind spots no longer exist and we get perfect WiFi across the whole house now. Super easy to set up, we have great performance and speed now in each room.

A truly high quality product which drastically improves the signal around the home. Prior to purchasing these our WiFi signal was virtually non existent in two bedrooms and our smart home tech couldn't get signal in parts of the house or any of the garden. Moving over to this kit completely removed this issue and provides consistent strong signal to the whole house with no loss or degredation with multiple people streaming and/or on conference calls at the same time

The general product may be ok, but mine was delivered unboxed with no instructions. Would not pair with modem even when connected with an Ethernet cable. Had to find instructions online and download app. As there was no box or instructions it may not have been the right app. Either way did not work and wasted time trying to set up. Some kind of detail should be provided with the product. This just came in a plastic pouch with a small box for the plug / cable and nothing else.

I actually bought the 3 pack in order to get WiFi from the ground floor to the 2nd floor as the standard router would barely reach. Works faulty well, and you get full Bars in all areas now, but it's not always as fast as you'd expect even with full Bars of signal strength Depends on placement a bit too so you may need to fiddle around with the best places to put them. Works well apart from 1 major thing...it doesn't work with Sky Q. For some reason it causes your Sky Q box to freak out. Not sure if it's this device of SkyQ's inability to work over a Mesh Network (other than its own) but I could not get it to work with any stability. It would cause the box to freak out after a few hours and lock up which meant resetting everything. You'll see this mentioned on the Sky forums if you Google it. If you leave SkyQ as a separate entity and dont log it onto the Mesh network then it works perfectly fine (as well as it used to anyway), so you've been warned. Apart from that it pretty much does what you'd expect, you can add more devices of the same family to get better coverage and better signal and a stronger Mesh network if you have areas that dont get best signal so it is completely upgradeable to your needs.
