This Deco P9 is a suitable mesh wireless system for those living in a bigger house such as a 3 story semi-detached house in Malaysia. There is only a single multi-colored LED indicator is situated on top of the device and it can be disabled in the Deco app. Security: "64-bit WEP, 128-bit WEP, WPA2-PSK, WPA-PSK, WPA-Enterprise , WPA2-Enterprise , Radius with 802.

TP-Link keep it disabled as it may cause some really old WiFi devices which may not support the fast roaming function. I will be testing around the house at various location using my iPhone to run speed test with the Speedtest.

The hybrid whole-home system delivers extended coverage up to 6,000 ft2/560 m2 with the help of the combination of dual-band Wi-Fi and powerline.

Manage your Wi-Fi at home or away in the Deco app, including seeing connected devices, prioritising your devices, setting up a guest network and more. Via the app you can easily create a guest network, blacklist specific devices from connecting to the internet, prioritise devices (like consoles and streaming devices) and, most importantly for families, parental controls. We ship all products in unopened boxes directly as received from our manufacturer in brand new and in perfect condition. The P9 may get some benefit from its powerline connection but, if so, it’s greatly undermined by lightweight wireless hardware. That means the units stand out in the room, and the fact that they only come in one finish – white – means you’ll probably notice them no matter where they’re placed.

The hybrid whole home Mesh Wi-Fi system delivers extended coverage up to 6,000 ft2 / 560 m2 via the combination of dual-band Wi-Fi and powerline. Either way, it’s still a significant improvement compared to the Virgin Media Hub 3, which struggled to maintain a connection at the rear of our house and didn’t reach our garden at all.
