What are the Differences between Deco Mesh, One Mesh, Easy Mesh and Omada Mesh?

While TP-Link's Decos, Archer-series Routers, Range Extenders, and Omada EAPs all support Mesh functionality, they each approach Mesh connectivity differently and thus cannot work together to form a single Mesh network. While they are all TP-Link products they differ in their technology and software, preventing them from interoperating in a unified Mesh network,

Note: You may still be able to use these products together, but they won’t be able to form a single, unified Mesh network. Instead they would form wireless networks that are separate from each other.

A detailed comparison between Deco Mesh, One Mesh, Easy Mesh, and Omada Mesh is listed below.

***** The support for all the mentioned features above is subject to the latest firmware of the product.

Notes:

* Devices that support One Mesh can be found at https://www.tp-link.com/onemesh/product-list/

* Devices that support Easy Mesh can be found at https://www.tp-link.com/easymesh/product-list/

** Ethernet Backhaul is a feature that allows you to transmit network traffic between Mesh nodes by ethernet. Ethernet backhaul may enhance Mesh network stability and performance. Get to know more about Ethernet backhaul here: https://www.tp-link.com/support/faq/1794/

*** Backhaul Aggregation (Adaptive Path Selection) allows Deco units to use multiple Wi-Fi bands to transmit data, improving overall backhaul performance, Wi-Fi 7 Deco models could even combine Wired + Wireless backhaul altogether, details can be found at https://www.tp-link.com/whole-home-mesh/

**** Pre-configuration refers to the plug and play aspect of units sold at a set. All you need to do is configure one unit with your network settings. Once configured simply power on the other units and they will link to the main unit and be configured automatically.

*****Available Networks refers to the number or type of wireless networks that Mesh service will work on.
