Review on Wi-Fi Mesh system TP-LINK Deco E4, 2-pack, white by Devarajan Devarajan ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

I should have looked better, I spent money on an ordinary product.

I bought this unit two months ago. In principle, it fulfills its purpose - it distributes seamless wi-fi, but nothing more. If you want to have wi-fi in your apartment at any point to connect only new advanced smartphones to it, you can buy it. And if, in addition to new smartphones, there is also other equipment in your house that you would like to connect to a wi-fi network, then I will disappoint you. Half of your equipment will stupidly not connect to this network. Thus, I am idle - a Brother printer, a 2022 Sony Bravia TV, an Asus tablet. They cannot connect via wps, but they see the network. If you start searching the Internet for answers to questions, you will not find them. There is only one forum, and then there is nothing there except "our product is very serious and works out of the box." I would not recommend throwing 5-6k into the wind for this pampering. It is better to look towards keenetic or mikrotis. manufacturer's comments that this equipment fulfills its purpose, namely, it distributes seamless wi-fi - I would eat for 1-2 thousand, and not for 5-6.

Pros
  • Wi-fi distributes excellently. That's all.
Cons
  • There is no way to somehow set up a wi-fi network. And this is strange, given the fact that this system was created specifically for distributing seamless wi-fi: 1) There is no possibility to change wi-fi channels. 2) There is no possibility to change the wi-fi encryption type. 3) WPS does not work - I could not connect either the printer, or the TV, or anything else. Stupidly do not find each other. 4) Only two ports on the tower. One will be occupied by the incoming cable from the provider - there is only one free. 5) ates are not released - the last one was in August 2022. 6) There is no normal support on the forum - the admins sitting there send everyone to go through the forest, believing that their product is one of the eight wonders of the world. Complaints in their address do not tolerate.
