FAQ

What mesh router covers a 4-bedroom Bedfordview home?

The TP-Link Deco XE75 2-pack (R3,500) covers 460 sqm — sufficient for most 4-bedroom Bedfordview homes. If the property exceeds 400 sqm or has a separate outbuilding, add a third Deco node (R1,200–R1,800 each).

Can I use a mesh router with Rain 5G home internet in Bedfordview?

Yes — connect the primary mesh node to the Rain 5G CPE via Ethernet. The mesh system then distributes the Rain signal wirelessly throughout the home. Rain 5G speeds of 50–200 Mbps are well within what any Wi-Fi 5 or Wi-Fi 6 mesh can handle.

How do I set up a TP-Link Deco mesh in Bedfordview?

Download the Deco app, plug the primary node into your ISP router via Ethernet, and follow the in-app guided setup — typically 10–15 minutes. Secondary nodes pair wirelessly. Place nodes 10–15 metres apart for optimal coverage.
