Even so, the settings you’re actually able to adjust are fairly basic but adequate for most people. Setup is quick and easy with the Deco app on Android or iOS, but TP-Link also allows you to connect via a web browser. If you're looking for more ways to expand your mesh, you can use any of TP-Link’s Deco nodes, though your most powerful Deco should be used as your primary router. With a three-pack, TP-Link reckons you can cover up to 5,800 square feet, though you may want to overbuy a bit to keep the backhaul between nodes fast.
On the other nodes, you can use both ports for wired devices.Ī single node covers up to 2,200 square feet despite its small size at just 4.33 inches in diameter and 4.49 inches tall. On the primary router, one will be used for the incoming internet connection with the other for a wired device. Even so, this coverage estimate is optimistic, and you may want to overbuy a bit to keep mesh speeds high.Įach X20 node has two gigabit Ethernet ports, one of which will be used for the incoming internet connection on the main Deco. Speaking of coverage, eero estimates 2,000 square feet for each eero 6+ node, which isn’t bad considering it has a footprint of just 3.8 inches across and 3.9 inches deep. However, you should stick with eero 6+ or eero Pro 6E nodes to keep the 5GHz band running at its full 160MHz capacity. If you have smart home devices, a Zigbee hub is also built-in.Įero makes it easy to expand your mesh coverage with support for all previous generation eeros. You can even connect to one of your nodes using this port for a strong wired mesh connection. On the primary router, one port will be used for the incoming internet connection and one can be used to connect a wired device. On the back of each eero 6+ node, there are two gigabit Ethernet ports. That means Wi-Fi 6 devices with 160MHz support can connect at up to 2402Mbps and so can the other mesh nodes. The dual-band AX3000 connection breaks down to 2402Mbps at 5GHz and 574Mbps at 2.4GHz. Even so, the eero 6+ is a big improvement over the first generation of Wi-Fi 6 eeros thanks to support for wide 160MHz bands.
