Deco S4

I’ve been using TP-Link deco S4 and a wifi 6 one for some years now

Five year old router technology. I suggest upgrading to a mesh network. Try the TP-Link Deco S4 system for testing purposes.

Hey take my questions worth two grains of salt but have you considered the tp-link deco mesh they are pretty inexpensive compared to orbi imo. And they are interchangeable (e.g. one x20 as the main and 3 s4’s)

If you actually read through the page you linked to, you will find out that Deco S4 runs on a Qualcomm Atheros QCA9563 processor (single core, 750 MHz) with 128 MB RAM and 16 MB storage. These are minimum recommended specifications for OpenWrt (in other words, Deco S4 is a very basic device). As is,

Mesh system fixed my similar issues and works great. I recently upgraded my TP-Link mesh system from a simple Dual Band to Wifi-6 (better range an

Don't crucify me, but Asus makes excellent routers, so does tp-link. Omada also works great. I used to use tp-link Deco M9 Plus, it performed very well with very little interaction. I've installed Deco M5 and S4 for friends and clients. All have performed very well. I've recommended Asus routers bec

It's not even 900Mbps packages that suffer like this. My family has a 250Mbps package, which can get the vast majority of this through Wi-Fi downstairs and in the room above the router. But anywhere else in the upper floor, speeds diminished rapidly.I could get just above 100Mbps at the far end of t
