Each Deco S4 device\u2019s top is graced by a fan-shaped TP-Link icon, illuminated logo that showcases the unit\u2019s status, helping users troubleshoot quickly in case of issues. If you&#8217;re concerned about LEDs being distracting in your room \u2013 TP-Link recognises they can be, particularly in bedrooms \u2013 they&#8217;ve included an option within the smartphone app to disable the indicator lights when needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Deco-S4-Design-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"TP-Link Deco S4 Design\" class=\"wp-image-2544\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Deco-S4-Design-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Deco-S4-Design-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Deco-S4-Design-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Deco-S4-Design-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Deco-S4-Design-2048x1152.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Deco-S4-Design-267x150.jpg 267w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Deco-S4-Design-100x56.jpg 100w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Deco-S4-Design-622x350.jpg 622w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Deco-S4-Design-788x443.jpg 788w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Deco-S4-Design.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>There are two Ethernet ports on the back of the Deco S4, and that\u2019s where you connect a pair of PCs, gaming consoles, or any device with an Ethernet plug and a need for a hardline to the internet. This is something that might seem really basic, and it appears that I\u2019m going to take it totally for granted, yes, but you would not believe the amount of Mesh Wi-Fi systems that just don\u2019t. The TP-Link Deco S4 might not look as attractive, or carry all the perks you\u2019ll find on more expensive mesh systems, but that doesn\u2019t matter when it\u2019s as smart, capacious, and reliable as this.<\/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\">3<\/span>\t<\/div>\t<div id=\"deco-s4-feature\">\t\t<h2 class=\"mt0 mb0\"> TP-Link Deco S4 Feature<\/h2>\t\t<div class=\"mt5 lineheight20 greycolor\">Deco S4 Feature<\/div>\t<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>1900 Mbps WiFi Speed<\/strong> \u2013 Enjoy 4K video and play online games with up to 1900 Mbps of combined speeds (Up to 600 Mbps at 2.4GHz and up to 1300 Mbps at 5GHz) on 3x3MIMO.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Connect 100 plus Devices<\/strong> \u2013 Deco can handle traffic from even the busiest of networks, providing lag free connections for up to 100 devices.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Better Coverage than traditional WiFi routers<\/strong>: When paired with one or more Deco units, they will work seamlessly to create a WiFi mesh network that can cover homes up to 2,000 sq. ft.

Although this is a Mesh Wi-Fi system, I tested only one router to assess its inherent quality, particularly as all three routers in this system are identical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"444\" src=\"https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Deco-S4-speed-test-1024x444.jpg\" alt=\"TP-Link Deco S4 Performance\" class=\"wp-image-2545\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Deco-S4-speed-test-1024x444.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Deco-S4-speed-test-300x130.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Deco-S4-speed-test-768x333.jpg 768w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Deco-S4-speed-test-1536x666.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Deco-S4-speed-test-2048x888.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Deco-S4-speed-test-346x150.jpg 346w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Deco-S4-speed-test-100x43.jpg 100w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Deco-S4-speed-test-807x350.jpg 807w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Deco-S4-speed-test-788x341.jpg 788w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Deco-S4-speed-test.jpg 1499w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Deco S4&#8217;s download speed remained relatively steady at between 555Mbps and 560Mbps at its closest point (next to the Deco S4, 15 feet away). These speeds closely approximated what I saw with the eero Pro 6, and they&#8217;re perfectly fine for a Wi-Fi 6 router working on the 5 GHz band. When testing devices further from the router, I was pleasantly surprised to find performance remained quite respectable. Behind a wall, download speeds reached 465 Mbps \u2013 a mere 17% drop from the initial result. Similarly, when moving to the farthest point on the second floor, my download speed only fell to 423 Mbps. Of course that isn\u2019t a low number, and it still means you get some high-quality download speeds. Speeds at this spot were 23% lower than both from the direct vicinity of the router, but mere 9% slower than from way behind the wall. For comparison, the eero Pro 6 (3-pack) typically retails for <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3JNhIX8\" rel=\"nofollow\">$199.99<\/a> on Amazon, while the Deco S4 (3-pack) sells for $89.99.<\/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-s4-setup\">\t\t<h2 class=\"mt0 mb0\">TP-Link Deco S4 Setup<\/h2>\t\t<div class=\"mt5 lineheight20 greycolor\">Deco S4 Setup<\/div>\t<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Setting up the TP-Link Deco S4 is surprisingly simple. The system can be easily set up via the Deco App and even if you are not a tech whizz you can get online within 15 minutes. To set up your Deco S4, download the TP-Link Deco application. The Deco App clearly explains each step and guides you through establishing the connection on your mobile device.Once connected, you&#8217;ll be prompted to set your Wi-Fi name and password, after which the app will directly create the Wi-Fi network on your phone. You won&#8217;t even need to access the \u201cSettings\u201d menu \u2013 the app automatically opens to let you input your login details. Then simply follow the prompts to complete installation. The app also supports network customisation, allowing users to set up guest networks, parental controls, and device prioritisation. The entire setup process takes just minutes, making it accessible even to those with limited technical knowledge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"510\" src=\"https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/TP-Link-Deco-S4-1024x510.jpg\" alt=\"TP-Link Deco S4 Setup\" class=\"wp-image-2546\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/TP-Link-Deco-S4-1024x510.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/TP-Link-Deco-S4-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/TP-Link-Deco-S4-767x382.jpg 767w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/TP-Link-Deco-S4-1536x765.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/TP-Link-Deco-S4-2048x1021.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/TP-Link-Deco-S4-301x150.jpg 301w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/TP-Link-Deco-S4-100x50.jpg 100w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/TP-Link-Deco-S4-702x350.jpg 702w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/TP-Link-Deco-S4-788x392.jpg 788w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/TP-Link-Deco-S4.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>When set up, the Deco S4 system offers you the option to personalise a range of features.
