Each of the units is 190 mm high with rounded edges and measures 91&#215;91 mm. Each one has a TP-Link logo-shaped grille on top augmented by a central light-up emblem that also serves as a status indicator to help you troubleshoot when something goes wrong. Not to fear, however, TP-Link is well aware that LED bulbs can be an insufferable hell\u2026 especially in bedrooms, so the smartphone app includes an option to turn off the little indicator at night. There are two Gigabit Ethernet ports per unit. There is an Ethernet-port on the back so you can add the connection for your laptop or gaming console as well as other devices that require Ethernet access. On the surface that might seem like a simple and unimpressive feature, but you\u2019d be surprised how many Mesh Wi-Fi systems don\u2019t include it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"487\" src=\"https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/DECO-P9-Design-1024x487.jpg\" alt=\"TP-Link Deco P9 Design\" class=\"wp-image-2532\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/DECO-P9-Design-1024x487.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/DECO-P9-Design-300x143.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/DECO-P9-Design-768x365.jpg 768w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/DECO-P9-Design-1536x730.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/DECO-P9-Design-2048x974.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/DECO-P9-Design-315x150.jpg 315w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/DECO-P9-Design-100x48.jpg 100w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/DECO-P9-Design-736x350.jpg 736w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/DECO-P9-Design-788x374.jpg 788w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/DECO-P9-Design.jpg 1022w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Deco P9 also has dual-band Wireless AC1200 like the Deco M4.

Today, I&#8217;ll test just how well the Deco P9 performs. We tested three Deco P9 systems in four locations inside a small three-bedroom terraced house. We started by testing near the router in an upstairs room at the front of the house. Next door in a bedroom 5m further away from the router, downstairs at the back of the house, and then to the garden for the ultimate signal and network strength test.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><\/td><td>Virgin Media Hub 3<\/td><td>TP-Link Deco P9<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>1m<\/td><td>541Mbps<\/td><td>609Mbps<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>5m with wall<\/td><td>315Mbps<\/td><td>444Mbps<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Downstairs near the rear of the house<\/td><td>40Mbps<\/td><td>368Mbps<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Garden<\/td><td>\u2013<\/td><td>100Mbps<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Compared to Google Nest Wi-Fi&#8217;s maximum speed of 400Mbps, the Deco P9&#8217;s 609Mbps offers better value for money, though speeds gradually decreased as we moved around the house.Bear in mind that Wi-Fi benchmarks merely indicate performance; actual results may vary depending on factors including house layout and Wi-Fi channel congestion. Regardless, it represents a significant improvement over the Virgin Media Hub 3, which struggled to maintain a connection at the rear of our property and failed entirely to reach the garden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Deco P9 has an official limit of 100 connected devices, which is great for those who live in smart homes. While we don\u2019t have 100 devices to test this claim, we did connect up to 30 simultaneously with no issues with anything from smartphones and tablets to gaming consoles, smart home gear, or whatever other equipment that we had connected to the Mesh Wi-Fi system. Three Deco units can indeed cover areas up to 6,000 square feet (approximately 577 square metres), sufficient for most households.<\/p>\n\n\n<style scoped>.rh-review-heading{flex-wrap:wrap}.rh-review-heading__position span{line-height:.78}.rh-review-heading__position span:after{content:\".\"}.rh-review-heading__logo{margin-top:10px;width:100%}.rh-review-heading__logo img{width:auto;max-height:60px}.rh-review-heading__logo-container{max-height:60px;max-width:150px}\n@media only screen and (min-width:480px){.rh-review-heading{flex-wrap:nowrap}.rh-review-heading__logo{margin-top:0;width:auto}}\n.rtl .rh-review-heading .rh-review-heading__position{margin-right:0!important;margin-left:15px}<\/style><div class=\"rh-review-heading rh-flex-center-align mb25\">\t<div class=\"rh-review-heading__position mr15 font150\">\t\t<span class=\"fontbold lightgreycolor font250\">6<\/span>\t<\/div>\t<div id=\"deco-p9-setup\">\t\t<h2 class=\"mt0 mb0\">TP-Link Deco P9 Setup<\/h2>\t\t<div class=\"mt5 lineheight20 greycolor\">Deco P9 Setup<\/div>\t<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Like most Mesh Wi-Fi networks, setting up the Deco P9 is remarkably straightforward; simply download the Deco app for iOS or Android, plug in the units, connect them to your router, and follow the app&#8217;s instructions to configure your Wi-Fi network. In our practical testing, the setup process took under five minutes and proceeded without a hitch. Once complete, you can begin configuring the Deco P9 system&#8217;s various features.Via the application, you can effortlessly create guest networks, blacklist specific devices to prevent internet access, prioritise devices (such as gaming consoles and streaming devices), and configure parental controls \u2013 a crucial feature for households.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"624\" src=\"https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/DECO-P9-Setup-1024x624.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/DECO-P9-Setup-1024x624.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/DECO-P9-Setup-300x183.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/DECO-P9-Setup-767x467.jpg 767w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/DECO-P9-Setup-1536x935.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/DECO-P9-Setup-2048x1247.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/DECO-P9-Setup-246x150.jpg 246w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/DECO-P9-Setup-100x61.jpg 100w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/DECO-P9-Setup-575x350.jpg 575w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/DECO-P9-Setup-788x479.jpg 788w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/DECO-P9-Setup.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>You may create individual profiles for each family member and associate devices with each account, enabling control over features like limiting online time, blocking access to specific website categories or individual sites.You can even track users&#8217; browsing history to ensure your children aren&#8217;t accessing inappropriate websites.<\/p>\n\n\n<style scoped>.rh-review-heading{flex-wrap:wrap}.rh-review-heading__position span{line-height:.78}.rh-review-heading__position span:after{content:\".\"}.rh-review-heading__logo{margin-top:10px;width:100%}.rh-review-heading__logo img{width:auto;max-height:60px}.rh-review-heading__logo-container{max-height:60px;max-width:150px}\n@media only screen and (min-width:480px){.rh-review-heading{flex-wrap:nowrap}.rh-review-heading__logo{margin-top:0;width:auto}}\n.rtl .rh-review-heading .rh-review-heading__position{margin-right:0!important;margin-left:15px}<\/style><div class=\"rh-review-heading rh-flex-center-align mb25\">\t<div class=\"rh-review-heading__position mr15 font150\">\t\t<span class=\"fontbold lightgreycolor font250\">7<\/span>\t<\/div>\t<div id=\"deco-p9-firmware\">\t\t<h2 class=\"mt0 mb0\">TP-Link Deco P9 Firmware<\/h2>\t\t<div class=\"mt5 lineheight20 greycolor\">Deco P9 Firmware<\/div>\t<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<p>The TP-Link Deco app is well-designed, offering an excellent user experience for managing your mesh wireless network. You can easily view all connected devices and their current network speeds within the app. I recommend enabling the Fast Roaming feature in the firmware, as it allows devices to roam seamlessly across the entire network.TP-Link advises disabling it, as some very old WiFi devices may not support fast roaming. It includes all standard features, such as port forwarding and LAN IP reservation, just like any typical wireless router. TP-Link also provides a free DDNS service, facilitating access to CCTV servers or remote connections to your home network.

It&#8217;s capable of filtering content on certain devices by category. Moreover, you can also schedule time to have no internet and limit the length of the daily internet, very humanized design for some parents. But what is not available on the Deco P9 are the Homecare Antivirus and QoS functions discovered on both the Deco M5 and Deco M9 Plus.
