App and power requirements

Setup requires a smartphone running Android 4.3 or later or iOS 8.0 or later with the free Deco app installed. The node receives power through a USB Type C port using the supplied adapter. Ensure you have an available mains socket near the intended location.

Questions about this item

What comes in the single pack and what must I buy separately to expand coverage?

The box contains one Deco unit, one power supply and one Ethernet cable. Add more Deco units later to extend the mesh — each extra unit covers another 1,500 sq. ft.

Should I choose the single pack or a multi-pack for my home size?

One unit covers up to 1,500 sq. ft.; a three-pack covers up to 4,500 sq. ft. Pick the pack that matches your total floor area.

What does the AC1300 rating mean for actual speeds on my devices?

The combined wireless data rates are 400 Mbps on 2.4 GHz and 867 Mbps on 5 GHz. Real-world throughput depends on your broadband plan and device capabilities.
