I've been searching for a solution to my wifi problem for years and the Deco system has done it!
I own a 1600 sq ft home and have both a 1000 sq ft barn and a 640 sq ft metal backyard bar behind it. Unfortunately, my internet enters my home at the furthest possible spot away from both of the other buildings. I've tried wifi extenders and various other combinations to try to broadcast my signal to them with very little luck. When I would happen to catch it would be intermittent at best... and that wasnt very often.
I was about to finally break down and run aerial cat-6 to the other structures -- something I've avoided for years because it very seldomly looks nice. I've also avoided doing direct burial because I do tons of gardening and landscaping and am always digging up the yard for one or the other. Luckily, I tried out the mesh technology and it solved everything. It easily tosses my signal across my home and out into the other structures, including the metal bar which normally has trouble receiving or transmitting signal from anything -- including mobile data on my phone.
In fact, I loved the mesh setup so much I ended up buying additional units and added to it "just in case" there were any deadzones I may have missed. Since then, I've walked around my property, which is about 10,000 sq ft total, and found that I catch great signal everywhere.
Pros: I love the fact that it's a seamless connection as I bounce around the property, no longer having to wait for extenders or a router to reconnect.
The units are aesthetically pleasing and don't stick out like sore thumbs. There's various options as you look across the product line, but each one is minimalistic and can be placed in plain sight without an issue.
Setup was straightforward with the app.
Much cheaper than the alternatives and I can't fathom paying more for the other company's branding when I know how well these units from TP-Link work.
I have a Plex server and the mesh makes it a breeze to transmit data "in network" so that the quality is original and it doesn't affect my data cap.
Cons: none yet.
