I've used TP-Link routers for a while now. This is the first time that I've used the DECO mesh system from TP-Link. I set up two with one being the router. I like the free version of the app (I'm using Android). It gives quite a bit of information (I'm not using or needing the upgrade version which is not free). The router is working fine and I get expected speeds using bandwidth tests. I have the second unit using the 6GHz back channel to communicate to the router. The second unit is in front of a window to give access to my back decks and to my dock. The dock is about 300 feet from the window. I get good signal on the dock and have not been disappointed. I'm not a professional gamer so ping response is not too important to me. I do stream a lot of video and I do play console games. I can say that I am happy with these applications. I would recommend and buy again.

I am a techno-geek. Have degrees in electronic engineering and in computer science (networking). Have been working in the computer and telecommunications fields for the past 45 years. Way before Al Gore even invented the internet. I have a ranch style house with full basement; approximately 3,000 sq feet + 2 car attached garage. I normally have 2 routers active; main router for all ethernet connected devices as well as providing VPN connection (Linksys WRT3200ACM); which also connects to the 2nd wireless router a netgear R7000 for my normal open WIFI for non VPN traffic and guests. Both routers are in the downstairs, centered, and work good. The VPN router/WIFI covers the areas of the house for fixed/PC/Laptop that use VPN; but the netgear providing clear WIFI couldn't cover the entire house with a usable signal; even though the R7000 is a very good high end wireless router. It covered MOST of the house, but none to the garage and very little outside front or back; and a couple of sketchy places in the house.

I tried wifi extenders and even another router as an access point. Problem with those are there is no smooth transition when walking around with a cell phone, tablet, taking laptop out on the back deck, and other mobile scenarios. Great if you're going to a spot and staying there; but extenders and AP are not good if you're moving around. So, I went with a Mesh system; the TP-Link AXE5400 XE75. This has been awesome. Setup is easy, just follow the app instructions.

I left my primary Linksys VPN router as is, and simply removed the Netgear R7000 and replaced it with the TP-Link. (Yes, double NAT is fine for 99% of traffic; IF the primary router, in my case the linksys, is set up properly to allow traffic flow to the TP-LINK to work properly). Anyway; the main TP-LINK router is where the netgear was, and I wireless connect the second slave node on the main floor. This is working great. My VPN linksys wired/wireless router still covers the 2 home offices that use the vpn; and most of the house for the other rare vpn occasions. The new TP-Link XE75, between the downstairs node and the main floor node, are covering every inch of the house, garage, back yard, and front yard. And being I gave it the SAME SSID name and password that the Netgear USED TO BE, I didn't have to change any settings in ANY of my wifi devices. Not even security cameras, Roku, AppleTV, phones, tablets, laptops, etc... All the devices were instant connections. And when I roam around the house, yard, deck, etc... the portable devices like phones and tablets transfer from the one node to the other node seamlessly. I was considering getting a 3rd node, but after using this for the last month, there's no reason to spend more money. This is the best setup I could have wanted. Definitely buy it if you need PORTABLE WIFI COVERAGE for phones, tablets, etc... that move around a lot.

If your devices are pretty well fixed and don't move, like streaming tv boxes, smart tv, laptop/computer in an office, etc. then learn to better position your existing wifi router for better coverage or look into using an extender. Extenders are great if you're staying in one place; because it's shows a different SSID than the main and your device can't auto switch between them. But for fixed devices or scenarios where you stay put for long periods of time, extenders are great. Especially for the cost of the TP-Link. I got it on sale, but an extender is still much cheaper. But if you need the mesh technology so you can be more mobile with uninterrupted connections, then this is the mesh wifi for you.

EDIT: I did find out later that all of the internal settings for the pods are on the phone app, and yes, you can use 6g for clients to connect, but for my needs setting the second pod to being a dedicated backhaul got the best speeds. You will need to use an ethernet cable from the pod to your computer to get these speeds.

Bottom line, problem solved!

My problem was a video game called Diablo 4. The game requires a fast connection with minimal latency or it starts to lag.

When I got D4, I noticed horrible lagging and asked to get my money back, but since I had played 2+hours they wouldn't refund me. Then I checked my network and discovered why I was lagging so bad. The fastest connection speed I could get was about 200mbs wireless which is not ideal for gaming. I tried upgrading to a traditional 6G router with a 6g wi-fi card, but the card would only work under windows 11, and when I upgraded to windows 11, it didn't work. The next thing I tried was to get another wi-fi adapter which did work, and I could finally see the 6G network and connect to it, but the speed was horribly slow, not even usable after that. I'm just too far from the router.

I thought a lot about what might be going wrong and how I might fix it. After doing some research I found out that there were these things called mesh units which were all supposed to use 6G to connect to each other and cover the whole house with a strong 6G signal. I decided to give it a try.

Well, the results were a bit mixed but I am plenty happy I got these. The mixed part is that you cannot make a 6G wireless connection directly to these mesh devices. You are still using the 5g/2.4g for the actual device connection. The 6G band is reserved for transmitting data from one pod to another, and it works better than I thought. Way better. I set up the second pod in my room and it still didn't resolve the speed issue, and then I discovered the real beauty of these pods: You can run an ethernet cable from any of the pods to your devices. I hooked up an ethernet cable to my pod and the other end to my computer and BINGO!

My speeds went from the low 200s up to almost 900mbps and averaging around 600mbps. In other words the pods more than TRIPLED my speed on the same existing ISP network. The real trick here it to place your computer near enough to the pod to use the ethernet port on the back of the pod. I think they call it backloading and it works!

Finally, I was a bit annoyed that you had to download and install an app and set up a cloud account to set up the pods, but the instructions were easy to follow and the whole setup was painless. Goodbye traditional router and goodbye wireless adapter!

The only downside here is that you don't have any manual control over the internal working of the pods. There's no log in page or webpage to go to for management like a traditional router, but in my case, they whole thing worked right out of the box. All of the necessary settings are in the phone app, which brings up my last point: You WILL need a smart phone to set these up. There's no alternate option.

Watching those line speeds triple was worth the price. I now have the fastest internet I can get in my home short of pulling out drywall and laying ethernet connections to every room.
