To test the performance of the Deco, I initially setup just a single node and tested its maximum Wi-Fi speeds when standing just 2m away from it. This provides a good baseline indication of how it compares to other normal routers. And, it compares reasonably well. In contrast, the Orbi boasts AC3000 Wi-Fi speeds, the BT Whole Home has AC2500 and the Velop has AC2200. As such, for raw speed the Deco is someway behind its rivals, though by the very nature of distrubuted Wi-Fi systems, this isn’t always noticeable in conventional tests. However, it falls into a slightly awkward middle-ground between the cheaper but faster and easier to setup BT Whole Home, and more expensive but even faster and more capable alternatives such as the Netgear Orbi and Linksys Velop. It’s not a bad option but as a latecomer to the mesh shin-dig, it hasn’t brought a good enough party favour to out-do the other guests.

There are a number of different Tp-Link mesh devices under the name Deco ranging from ₹2500 per unit to ₹50,000 per unit. The good news is, all Decos can be meshed together as per your requirement. The W7200 uses the TP-Link Tether app for iOS and Android mobile devices, and can also be managed via a web-based console. The mobile app opens to an Overview screen, which contains an Internet icon and displays a list of online and offline devices that have joined the network. Tap the Internet icon to view a list of network nodes, their location, and which clients are currently connected to each node. Here, you can assign bandwidth priority and flip a switch to deny access to any client. I would also expect the Deco W7200 to easily outperform the dual-band version of the Netgear Nighthawk mesh router and also Nest Wifi, which doesn't support Wi-Fi 6 at all. That said, I tested both of those systems before upgrading to Wi-Fi 6 testing equipment here at home, so I'll save the direct, numerical comparisons until I've had a chance to re-test them. Next, I tested performance from a floor above (Test 1), followed by two separate locations a floor above that (Test 2 and Test 3). Setting up the Deco system is largely very simple. Like the Linksys Velop, it’s all done via an app on your phone, with both Android and iPhone supported. You plug in each node in turn and the app will automatically connect to them via Bluetooth, so it can configure it and connect it to the overall system.Deco S7 AC 1900 เราเตอร์แบบ Mesh Wi-Fi จาก TP-Link รอบนี้มาพร้อมดีไซน์ทั้งตัวเครื่องและ UI ในแอปฯ กันเลย เพิ่มเติมคือใช้งานง่ายขึ้นมาก และให้ประสิทธิภาพได้ทันใจ สำหรับตัว Deco S7 นอกจากความเร็ว AC 1900 (แบ่งเป็น 5 GHz 1300 Mbps กับ 2.4GHz 600 Mbps) แล้ว ก็ยังมีทั้งพอร์ต Gigabit จัดเต็มทั้ง 3 พอร์ต มี MU-MIMO 3 x 3 รองรับการเชื่อมต่ออุปกรณ์ไร้สายได้มากกว่า 100 ตัว และการแก้ปัญหาเน็ตอับสัญญาณได้แบบเห็นผล เป็นไงมาดูกันครับ รายละเอียดสเปก TP-Link Deco S7

Mesh Wi-Fi ที่ดูเป็นมิตรสำหรับผู้ใช้ทั่วไปมาก ๆ เห็นได้จากการออกแบบหน้า UI หรือตัวแอปฯ ที่ดูสบายตาขึ้นมาก และมีเมนูใช้งานที่จำเป็นจริง ๆ เท่านั้น ด้านตัวเราเตอร์เอง ก็มีหน้าตาที่เปลี่ยนไป แต่โดยรวมก็ยังคงเป็น Deco Series จาก TP-Link ที่จะต้องมีสีขาวเป็นหลัก และมีหน้าตาที่เหมือนกับของประดับในบ้าน Another important factor to consider is longevity. When you buy a high-quality TP-LINK TP-LINK DECO S7 3 1480, you’re making an investment that is likely to last longer. Cheaper products may seem like a good deal at the time, but they are often made with lower-quality materials and are not designed to last as long. This means that you may end up having to replace your device sooner, which can end up costing you more in the long run. The only other feature is a single light on the top that glows in different colours and flashes in a variety of patterns to indicate the node’s status. These figures are the giveaway as to why the Deco is that much cheaper than most of its rivals. Combine the 400Mbps and 867Mbps and you have a total throughput for the Wi-Fi on each node of 1267Mbps, which is known as AC1300-class Wi-Fi. Note, for a typical British two-up, two-down terraced or semi-detached home, most such mesh systems are overkill. If you struggle to get signal in the furthest corners of your home then there’s a good chance that simply buying a better-quality single router will do the job.However, the power of mesh Wi-Fi is in numbers. Adding a second Deco on the first floor (second floor, for American readers) hugely boosted performance in all test locations and far outstripped the single router. Compared to other mesh systems then the Deco isn’t setting any records, but it’s on par. Boosted Seamless Coverage – มาพร้อมเทคโนโลยี Deco Mesh ขั้นสูง ทำงานร่วมกันเพื่อสร้างเครือข่ายที่เป็นหนึ่งเดียว ด้วยชื่อเครือข่ายเดียว ไม่ต้องมาสลับการเชื่อมต่อเอง ตัวเครื่องจะสลับให้เองโดยอัตโนมัติ แบบที่ผู้ใช้ไม่รู้ตัว Since 1982, PCMag has tested and rated thousands of products to help you make better buying decisions. See how we test. Wi-Fi ได้ดี จากปกติที่เคยมีบริเวณขาดสัญญาณ Wi-Fi หลังมีตัว Deco S7 ก็ไม่มีจุดที่ขาดสัญญาณ Wi-Fi อีกต่อไป แต่ก็ต้องยอมรับว่าตัวเครื่องยังไม่ใช่ Wi-Fi 6 แต่เป็น AC หรือ Wi-Fi 5 จึงทำให้มีข้อจำกัดอยู่บ้าง

TP-Link has launched its long pending mesh router. Dual Band AC1900 based mesh router called Deco S7. It a dual band mesh router with 1.2ghz quad core cpu in a 3pc or 2pc setup. This Deco S7 has 3 gigabit auto sensing port on each unit and support 3X3 MU-MIMO. No online mode (you can’t login to your deco away from home and can be only accessed if you are connected to same wifi) – Fixed in latest update Individually these would be enough to pique our interest, but together they make for a great combo that is only slightly let down by the top-line throughput. An important aspect of this new breed of wireless solutions is that they’re not the traditional routers and extenders that the more tech savvy are used to. Gone are they unruly antennas of yore, replaced by stylish designs and simple interfaces.All WAN/LAN ports will operate as either WAN or LAN ports. Only one port can serve as a WAN port at a time. Each mesh router/Wi-Fi system we’ve looked at so far has had a slightly different set of features. The Netgear Orbi is a two-node system designed to replace your existing router; it focuses on a particularly fast connection between its two nodes. The Linksys Velop is a three-node system that can either take over from your router or just take on Wi-Fi duties. The BT Whole Home is designed purely for Wi-Fi, with an existing router taking care of everything else. No wall mount. This is very frustrating. However, they have done it strategically because you get a better range if you place it on a table as the walls absorb radio frequency. But still so many people, like me, have no option other than to wall mount the device. Results were similar for the W7200 satellite node. Its score of 528Mbps on the close-proximity test was faster than the Eero Pro 6 (455Mbps) and the TP-Link Deco X20 (449Mbps) nodes, but couldn’t match the Asus ZenWiFi XT8 node (675Mbps). At 30 feet, the W7200 node scored 475Mbps, impressive compared with the Eero Pro 6 (353Mbps) and the TP-Link Deco X20 (301Mbps). Still, the Asus ZenWiFi XT8 took top honors again, with a score of 619Mbps. Each Deco X20 unit is set up as the host or satellite in the installation process, and each have four internal antennas. As is the case with its competitors, none can be aimed or replaced. Based on Qualcomm’s Networking Pro 400 chipset, the Deco X20 is powered by a 1GHz quad-core processor. It carries 4GB of RAM and 1GB of solid-state storage of its firmware and commands. Able to connect up to 150 devices, the Deco X20 has an AX1800 rating, meaning that it's rated at a peak throughput of 1.8Mbps.
