the very next obvious question which is which mesh Wi-Fi system do you get
so I bought a bunch of them and I tested them out I think I now have a pretty good list going of the best mesh Wi-Fi systems you can buy right now and which ones are better for different scenarios so first up the one I want to start with is the newest one on the market in this list this is the tp-link deco m4 mesh Wi-Fi system now full disclosure unlike the others on this list that I had to go by the decom4 was sent to me by tp-link for this video the deco m4 has one largest ranges.
on this list at 5,500 square feet enough to cover most three to five bedroom houses easily and thanks to its dual band AC 1200 Wi-Fi it can hit a theoretical 1200 megabits per second hence the name of the protocol which is plenty more than most people whatever need the hubs are a bit taller then you usually see from Esch systems and the
status light is on top making it hard to tell what the network is doing from a distance but they look slick enough just make sure you can put them somewhere where there's a little bit of headroom is all now like most of the systems on this list it has its own app that makes setting it up super easy you plug it in to your modem turn it on download the app and the set of process walks you through everything for the first unit then you walk around to set up all the other ones using the app as well the app is pretty intuitive and has some clever features like parental controls that your kid's gonna hate.
but you might like now we have the usual abilities to see what devices are connected limited their usage kik specific ones often a touch of a button etc but the deco app takes this a lot further you can designate which devices get what types of speeds set schedules for each device and even see browsing history of URLs for each device and allowing you to block any URLs you don't want that device to be able to access again again your kids are not gonna like you for this but whatever now by far my favorite feature of the tp-link system the price you can get this 3-pack to cover that fifty five hundred square feet for just one seventy nine ninety
nine the lowest price on this list because of that I think is pretty safe to say this is probably the best mesh.
Wi-Fi system for the money period and if you want to check it out head to link below and TV link was even kind enough to give us a coupon code for an extra 10% off just enter 10 unlock during checkout if you're interested next up the mesh system I think you should get if you're really into home automation this is the Samsung.
smartthings Wi-Fi with a built-in smart home hub and what that means is that it can use ZigBee and z-wave IOT standards think of them like the Bluetooth standard but for IOT devices specifically to control devices like
door sensors motion detectors etc also because it's a smartthings hub it works super well with all the smart things smart home products which I've recommended before based on the sheer size of the ecosystem that Samsung has built around it and I'm sure Samsung is hoping you'll go for it if you buy this system obviously regardless of their intent if there are any smart home tasks that you want to do smart thing does actually have the sensors that you'd need and a super clean app to control it.
all from setup is super easy thanks to that smart things app and work similarly to the gecko setup process and once you set them up this 3-pack could cover up to 4500 square feet the hubs themselves are small and sleek looking I think but if you need to plug in a lot of things buy an Ethernet you'll need to buy a switch in addition to the system they're not the best choice as they each only have one outbound Ethernet port per puck.
forever when you buy the smart things Wi-Fi the plume app is clever and that it uses machine learning to automatically detect what types of devices are connected to the network monitor their usage and then over time set them to different priorities so the laptop used a game on or the smart TV.

the IOT devices like your light bulbs that don't need speed but just need lower latency instead receive that and all of that is done without you having to touch anything at all the 3-pack I was testing here cost two $79.99 but considering any smart things IOT hub alone cost about a hundred and it saves you needing to buy that if you were going to get it anyway .
that's not too bad if you want to learn more about it though of course you can click the link below next up is one of the most popular mesh Wi-Fi systems out there that I'm pretty sure you've at least heard of Google Wi-Fi now my opinion probably the best looking of the mesh Wi-Fi systems on this list even has some tasteful lighting effects that I'm a sucker for and are actually useful as they are white when it's work King in red when something is wrong and you can see them from a distance you can also turn off the lighting say if you have one in your bedroom and don't want the nightlight and the size and style of them means that you can place the pucks.
itself for example my gigabit FiOS connection is one of the fastest speeds available to residents in New York City and since a gigabit is a thousand megabits per second to the router that means the under 1200 over Wi-Fi is way higher than I'd ever need with my speedson all of these that I've tested using the low speed test hovering around 300 megabits per second the extra speed is valuable though if there are things you want to connect with within your home for example network attack storage Plex servers anyone or peer-to-peer systems that support those types of speed can communicate with each other through the network faster since they don't need to access the out Internet and even though the or B system.
