1. 4/5Pretty good but could be better

   I like the app but I didn’t like that I had to name almost every one of my devices. My old mesh system app my devices were listed as the name I gave it, this app simply calls all phones “phone” for example, even tablets and other devices were originally listed as “phone”. You have to connect every device one by one or look at the address of each device and name them in the app. Also the parental control info is lacking, it reports “time connected” for each person only. Tablets and phones are connected continuously all day until shut off or you leave the network, so not useful information in my opinion because it doesn't tell me how much time a user is using a device, only the total time of all the devices assigned to them are connected to Wi-Fi. I also want to know how much internet traffic (kb/mb) per hour/day/week/month each device and/or user is using. That way I can tell if there is a device/person that needs to be restricted. Hopefully this information will be added, I see a total is in the monthly report for traffic per user set up in the parental control, but that doesn’t tell the whole story. Some months we get close to xfinity’s max GB (1229) and others not even close, I’d like to know where that data is being used and when. All in all, good app but I think it could be made better especially since I’m paying for it. The Deco 6E system I got is great so far after one week, the speed is awesome and devices switch seamlessly as you move about.

2. 4/5Good app, but some modifications would make it great!

   Similar situation with the other reviewer noting how it would be helpful to have the date and time devices connect available. My other suggestion is with parental controls. It would be great to be able to have the list of visited websites sorted by time visited, or have a drop-down and you could select time, date, or alpha by website. The list it generates is good, and they recently made improvements to combine associated sites within one main drop down, but doesn’t give you an accurate depiction of the time sites were visited. Instead, its sorted by number of times visited putting the highest amount at the top. It also would be nice to be able to go back a day, 2days, 2weeks, etc. however long and see more than just a list of the top 10 sites visited. Unless you login on the same day as the sites were visited, you cannot get a full list of all sites, only the top 10. If it’s a memory issue and not having enough storage in the Deco system for all this data maybe a daily email option could be available. I would be fine getting a daily email for all sites visited before their deleted for the next day. Aside from those small details, the app is pretty solid and works reliably well. My setup is perfect for my home. I have three indoor deco units and one outdoor, all connected with ethernet backhaul.

3. 5/5Great routers, great software, would love a few more features

   I’m upgrading from a ten year old Apple AirPort Extreme Basestation to the TP-Link Deco M5 kit. Performance is similar since both are WiFi5 (AC) systems. But the mesh lets me put several small routers around the house to have better performance everywhere. And the TP-Link app is so much better than where the Apple Airport app left off a decade ago. Getting a list of all devices, wireless and *wired* — something Apple refused to do — is fantastic. There are straightforward quality of service (QOS) controls. And a bunch of stuff I don’t care about that families will appreciate for controlling access times and device priorities and device owners. I wish for a few more features in the system: * WPA3 (maybe specific to the Deco M5) * Easy, direct control of the individual routers to change relative power or turn off individual WiFI beacons to help improve the network * More info on the “Network Optimization” including some guidance on positioning the beacons for improved performance. But those are higher-end features and this is a really budget-friendly kit, so on the whole, it’s a great system!

4. 4/5Great app with just a couple of minor accessibility issues.

   If you are a person who is blind looking at a Deco mesh system, or especially if you are a Tp-Link developer, continue reading. Otherwise, just know that this app is fantastic for managing your devices. If the only reason you wouldn't buy Decos is because you're afraid that it's not going to have a great app, do not let that be a reason not to buy them. It is great other than one consideration, it does not entirely reliably show if devices are connected to the network or not. This is a very small issue though. There are just a few minor accessibility issues that I hope get fixed. First, when scrolling through clients on any list of clients, be that the main list or on any of the nodes, often times the focus of VoiceOver will jump around, and navigation will be slow and inconsistent. Double tapping also doesn't work a lot of the time. This can get annoying, but it can be worked around relatively easily with a bit of patience. For Tp-Link developers, I believe this is caused by the app constantly refreshing itself but not updating the accessibility tree properly or at all. The second issue is that on the reboot screen, the specific buttons to unselect and select specific Decos to be rebooted are neither labeled with the name of the Deco nor properly expose VoiceOver native selected or unselected markers, or even a custom developer selected or unselected marker. However, other than this, there are no issues with accessibility that I have found in the app. The app is great overall.

5. 5/5Switched from Eero - Best Choice

   Made the switch from Eero to Deco after having on and off connectivity issues. Couldn’t be happier! The Deco interface is intuitive and gives you a lot more information without having to sign up for Premium. It comes with a 1 year free subscription which is nice to have. The app works great. It doesn’t show a million iPhones on private Relay and displays just one. You can turn features in and it gives you a status bar on how long it will take to come back online. Certain features that would cause eero to have a full reboot do not require this on Deco. Overall, super happy with the switch. Why the switch? I had months of intermittent connectivity issues with eero. The problem was after hours with the team, they were never able to find the problem. I had to strip my network down to the basics to get stability in the network. 20+ devices, Apple, IoT, Windows devices, etc. All would drop from eero. Seems that their firmware updates trigger the problems. They resorted me to reverting to older firmwares which is not an acceptable long term fix.
