Description

Three units, one network without dropouts

A mesh system has no separate router and extenders, just three equal Deco units sharing one network name. They link to each other wirelessly, and you can also connect them with a cable for a faster link between units. According to the manufacturer, Deco E4 works in router or access point mode and is compatible with other Deco models.

Who this mesh Wi-Fi system is for

Multi-storey houses or long apartments where a single router cannot reach every room. The manufacturer rates the system for up to 100 devices, so it also suits families with plenty of phones, TVs and smart home gadgets. Setup is guided step by step in the phone app.
