Life is too short for spotty Wi-Fi. Older homes have thicker walls that often block signals and result in poor performance. If you have a pesky dead spot in your house, consider upgrading your router to the TP-Link Deco Wi-Fi 6 system. It supports speeds up to 1Gbps and covers 2,200 square feet all on its own. And if that’s not quite enough, a wide range of TP-Link devices are on sale, including Wi-Fi systems ideal for bigger houses.

Why is this a good deal?
The TP-Link Deco is more affordable than Amazon’s Eero router, and it covers a wider area with greater bandwidth. The Eero covers an average of 1,500 square feet per device, while the TP-Link Deco is rated for 2,200 square feet. Even better, this is the best price we’ve seen this year for the Deco. It’s also Wi-Fi 6 compatible, something that few sub-$100 routers are. You’re getting a lot of value in a small package, and you can increase that by buying in bulk if you have a particularly large home.
Why do I need this?
Whether you’re trying to binge your favorite show in 4K without buffering or get a little bit of gaming in, a bad internet connection can crash the party. This router covers up to 2,200 square feet with a solid, reliable signal. That’s with a single unit. Combine more than one, and you can create redundant coverage throughout your home, all but eliminating dead spots.
Without getting too technical, the TP-Link Deco can handle more simultaneous connections than a lot of other devices. This means you don’t have to worry about your smart home system getting in the way of your streaming. It’s compatible with all generations of Wi-Fi and supports speeds up to 1Gbps. If you’re paying for a fast internet connection, you want to make sure you’re getting the maximum speed, right?
Setup is also easy, and you can control it through your phone even when you aren’t home. If the kids are playing Fortnite when you know they’re supposed to be doing homework, a single click is all it takes to limit their connection.
What reviewers say
With more than 10,000 five-star ratings, this is a popular Wi-Fi system. “This simple setup has corrected the majority of our issues and even allowed for faster speeds to be broadcast through the home and out to our shop 150 feet away,” shared one user.
Another homeowner wrote, “The coverage … is outstanding. I have a large home with multiple floors, and the Deco system ensures a strong and stable Wi-Fi signal throughout every corner of my house. I no longer experience dead zones or areas with poor connectivity, even in hard-to-reach places like basements or upper floors. The setup process was remarkably easy and user-friendly. The Deco app guided me through the entire installation process, from connecting the main Deco unit to adding additional units for a seamless mesh network.”
“This was easy to set up, even for someone not tech-savvy,” agreed a third fan. “It walked me through the process. This expanded my Wi-Fi signal throughout my house — no more dead spots or slow downloads. I am very satisfied with it.”
“The only downside is that the pods only have one outgoing Ethernet port in the back,” said a final user. “If you have multiple devices that you would prefer to plug in, you’ll need an Ethernet switch.”
