TP-Link Deco Whole Home WiFi System: How It Works

“Can you hear me? How about now? Nawala ata ako.” — a classic tale of how Internet connectivity is in the Philippines.

By now, we all know how it feels to have our Internet connection fail us right when we’re about to present at an important virtual meeting. For those of us sharing WiFi at home, a spotty Internet connection happens even more often than not.

Fortunately, we now have access to tools to somehow improve our Internet connection in the Philippines. And lately, we’re hearing a lot about a certain mesh WiFi system that’s both functional and chic: the TP-Link Deco Whole Home Wi-Fi System.  

“As a computer technician, I always recommend this,” Pinoy computer technician Ryan Jones Bayron shares on Facebook. Whenever people would ask him for help with their WiFi connection, he’d always suggest that they invest in this specific product.

“[It is] the cheapest and best product,” he says. “Hindi lang siya effective, but sobrang minimalist din yung design ng product. Tatlong WiFi System na ito at pwede mong ilagay sa bawat sulok ng bahay niyo. At kung sobrang laki naman ng bahay niyo, you can have six pieces [of routers]. It’s easy to use tapos sobrang ganda pa.”

While Danielle hasn't held a sword in her lifetime, she feels powerful enough with her byline. Her creative energy is fueled by many things: the quiet right before the rest of the world wakes up, the orange sky as the sun rises during an uncrowded morning surf, the beautiful bitter taste of black coffee, and the threatening reminder of a pending deadline.
