Each unit measures 90.7 x 90.7 x 190 mm and feature an LED-status indicator on the top node. If the light annoys you, you can easily turn this LED off, but because it&#8217;s so subtly placed, we suggest leaving it on. Unlike the Deco M4, the TP-Link Deco E4 is equipped solely with a Fast Ethernet port. Despite its AC1200 rating, the Ethernet port&#8217;s limitations cap the maximum WiFi speed at 100Mbps. Consequently, I would only recommend this model for users with network connections of 100Mbps or slower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"744\" src=\"https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Deco_E4-design-1024x744.jpg\" alt=\"TP-Link Deco E4 Design\" class=\"wp-image-2617\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Deco_E4-design-1024x744.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Deco_E4-design-300x218.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Deco_E4-design-768x558.jpg 768w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Deco_E4-design-1536x1116.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Deco_E4-design-2048x1489.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Deco_E4-design-206x150.jpg 206w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Deco_E4-design-100x73.jpg 100w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Deco_E4-design-482x350.jpg 482w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Deco_E4-design-788x572.jpg 788w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Deco_E4-design.jpg 853w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>1x WAN port and 1x LAN port behind the Deco E4 (100 Mbit each).

This weight helps prevent the device from toppling over if your Ethernet cable is rigid.

Not surprisingly, the Deco E4 maxed out at 100Mbps, meaning it was only a good choice for those with internet connections that are slower than 100Mbps. I believe the Deco E4 is ideal for VDSL users or those on slower broadband plans who desire a Mesh WiFi system for enhanced coverage and a superior WiFi experience.<\/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-e4-fireware\">\t\t<h2 class=\"mt0 mb0\">TP-Link Deco E4 Fireware<\/h2>\t\t<div class=\"mt5 lineheight20 greycolor\">Deco E4 Fireware<\/div>\t<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<p>The sole method for controlling the TP-Link Deco E4 is via the TP-Link Deco App. All Deco devices connect to your TP-Link ID via the cloud, enabling network management even when you&#8217;re not at home. The app functions well, and we encountered no issues during use. You can view all connected devices and even monitor their current speeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And on the feature side of things, the Deco E4 is pretty barebones as an entry-level model. That said, it does have some useful networking features, such as port forwarding, DDNS and address reservation. It also has guest WiFi and blacklist feature. I&#8217;d love to see TP-Link include a network map in here; it would be super handy for the average user.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"681\" src=\"https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Deco_E4-setup-1024x681.jpg\" alt=\"TP-Link Deco E4 Fireware\" class=\"wp-image-2619\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Deco_E4-setup-1024x681.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Deco_E4-setup-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Deco_E4-setup-767x510.jpg 767w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Deco_E4-setup-1536x1021.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Deco_E4-setup-2048x1361.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Deco_E4-setup-226x150.jpg 226w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Deco_E4-setup-100x66.jpg 100w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Deco_E4-setup-527x350.jpg 527w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Deco_E4-setup-788x523.jpg 788w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Deco_E4-setup.jpg 1196w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A highlight is the parental control, which provides an option for fine-grained blocking. We can decide the access level of each user. Except unlike TP-Link&#8217;s built-in Homecare parental controls, it doesn&#8217;t work on HTTPS-encrypted sites. It also provides a basic Quality of Service (QoS) function, allowing you to prioritise specific clients for faster access.<\/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-e4-verdict\">\t\t<h2 class=\"mt0 mb0\">TP-Link Deco E4 Verdict<\/h2>\t\t<div class=\"mt5 lineheight20 greycolor\">Deco E4 Verdict<\/div>\t<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"rate_bar_wrap revbox1679139066\"><div class=\"review-top\"><div class=\"overall-score\"><span class=\"overall r_score_9\">8.5<\/span><span class=\"overall-text\">Expert Score<\/span><\/div><div class=\"review-text\"><span class=\"review-header\"><\/span><p>The TP-Link Deco E4 serves as an entry-level networking solution for users with slower connections (\u2264100Mbps) and budget constraints.
