TP-Link launches very affordable Deco W2400 Dual Band Mesh Wi-Fi System
If you have a large home, it can be difficult to blanket it entirely with Wi-Fi. Sadly, many folks experience dead spots, meaning some locations in the house either have no Wi-Fi or an exremely low signal. Speaking frankly, this situation sucks. Sure, you can potentially remedy it with a range extender, and that can be a great solution, but it isn't as elegant as mesh.
Unfortunately, a mesh Wi-Fi system with multiple access points can be a pricey affair. While they have been coming down in price, these mesh systems are still largely too much money for many consumers. Today, TP-Link brings mesh Wi-Fi to the masses with an insanely low price. Called "Deco W2400," this Dual Band AC1200 system costs less than $100!

"Covering up to 3,000 square feet and capable of connecting up to 100 different Wi-Fi devices, the Deco W2400 provides a fast Wi-Fi system that keeps devices connected anywhere in the home. With seamless roaming technology, your devices stay under a single network name and password so you don’t need to reconnect simply because you move to a new area in your home. To help organize Wi-Fi traffic, the Deco W2400 features adaptive path selection (APS), which ensures that each unit always chooses the fastest data stream and directs devices to the optimal Wi-Fi lane," says TP-Link.

The app offers a location feature that can help you find the best place to put Deco units throughout your home, optimizing coverage. Plus, the app also offers built-in parental controls that allow you to select when certain family members can use the internet and filter out inappropriate content for your kids."

Louis Liu, CEO of TP-Link provides the following statement.
A mesh system is the perfect solution for consumers struggling with WiFi signal who need fast Wi-Fi coverage for their entire home. But, until now, the cost of mesh Wi-Fi has been prohibitively expensive. That’s why we are proud to partner exclusively with Walmart in introducing the Deco W2400 Whole Home Mesh Wi-Fi System. The Deco W2400 delivers fast and stable Wi-Fi throughout the entire home, offering a robust solution at a price everyone can afford.
The TP-Link Deco W2400 with two access points can be had immediately for just $99.99. At that price, it is a definite no-brainer. This mesh system is a Walmart exclusive and can be purchased here now.
