“First World Problems,” is a term you don’t see thrown around as much as you did in the early 2010s, but it always what comes to mind for me when dealing with spotty internet. Waiting for a page to load or a video to buffer on your phone can be frustrating as heck. There’s not much worse than finding yourself sitting in a bathroom that happens to be a little too far from the router, refreshing over and over to no avail. What are we supposed to do, go back to reading the back of a shampoo bottle to kill the time? I refuse. What you need is better Wi-Fi.
A Wi-Fi mesh network can help to eliminate spotty internet, and right now, Amazon happens to have a great deal on TP-Link’s Deco 7 mesh Wi-Fi system. You can choose between a singular router, a two pack or a three-pack, saving as much as 28%. The one router normally sells for $130, but is now marked down to $100. The set of two is usually $199, but now its only $145. And then the pack of three which typically sells for $250 has dropped to just $200.
Additionally, if you find yourself needing a stronger connection when in your backyard or out on your porch, you might be interested in the outdoor TP-Link Deco 7 router. This one sells for $150, but its limited-time discount has brought it down to just $135.
Total Coverage of Your Home
The way to make the best of a mesh Wi-Fi system is having more routers in the system. And with the three-pack, you’ll be able to cover a massive area of up to 6,600 sq. ft. That’ll also support connections to over 150 devices. That’s plenty coverage for everyone in your family’s phones and laptops, plus some gaming consoles, smart TVs, even smart light bulbs, thermostats and more. If you do ever need to expand for more coverage, you can simply add on another Deco router at any time.
As you move throughout your home, your devices will be able to intelligently hop over from one router to another—whichever is nearest. You won’t experience any drop in connection when moving from one to another. It all just happens in the background as you go about your day.
These routers are using a dual-band Wi-Fi 7 which supports super fast upload and download speeds. Wirelessly, you can achieve up to 688 Mbps on the 2.4 GHz band and up to 4,324 Mbps on the 5GHz band. It’s about 4.5 times faster than Wi-Fi 6E. Each router is also equipped with two 2.5 Gigabit WAN/LAN ports for even faster speeds.
