Best router I ever owned. I am getting very good speed all around the house. No drop connections ever.
Only complaint is the app requires 2 bucks monthly for the additional features.
Don't think this has had to be restarted a single time, nothings ever randomly disconnected—about 25 items connected at all times. Practically full speed throughout the entire home.
Suggestion for those installing mesh systems without extra Ethernet ports throughout the house, go to fast . Com or another speed test site, after installing the base. Go as far as you can away in opposite directions while testing the speed to find the best places to put the mesh points. For me, I placed them in areas that had about 95% of the speed as being next to the main router. It reached significantly farther than I expected.
The 6ghz wireless back haul seems to be completely game changing.

My reasons to go from my Asus Ai-Mesh (WiFi 5) to this TPLink Deco Mesh (WiFi 6):
1) Internet speed on WiFi went from about 120-150 Mbps to 200-250 Mbps on older devices and 350-400 Mbps on newer devices. I have a 500/500 FIOS connection.
2) LAN speed on WiFi doubled from 200-300 Mbps to 400-700 Mbps across all devices. I have a 1Gbps LAN, with wired MOCA-Ethernet backhaul to all Deco units.
3) The Asus Ai-Mesh was beginning to show its age and limits - occasional connection drops when moving from one part of the house to another, videos buffering when multiple users streaming simultaneously etc. These went away with the Deco Mesh.
4) Cosmetically, the Deco units are much more home decor friendly. Wife hated the big black Asus routers with the three antennae. The Deco units are unobtrusive and can be easily be placed in any room.
Things I don't like about the Deco mesh:
1. Must use the app for WiFi management. Web GUI is useless. I got around most of this by still using an Asus router for the internet connection and the Deco for only WiFi in AP mode.
2. The unit glitched on me once, just wouldn't connect to the internet no matter what. The router had internet, the problem was only between the Deco and the router. I had to reset all the Deco units and re-configure everything afresh to fix the issue. I am hoping it was a one time issue and won't re-occur. I have since updated the units to the latest firmware available.
I bought the 3-pack refurbished for $180 from the TP-Link Official store on eBay. Came with 2-year warranty. For the price, they are a great value and will do till I am ready to upgrade to WiFi 7. The Asus WiFi held up great for over 7 years, I am hoping the TP-Link will perform similarly.
Thanks

BUT, you can use the guest network for IOT devices and have them separate from your main wifi. I do this with my WiFi cameras and video doorbell.
