A flexible single mesh unit that can run off Power over Ethernet and mount on a ceiling or wall, so it works where outlets are scarce. One unit alone covers one area, so larger homes need more Deco units.

Overview
TP-Link made the Deco PoE unit for mounting where Wi-Fi is needed most: on a ceiling, a wall or a table, powered by one Ethernet cable. It joins other Deco units as a mesh node or works alone, set up step by step in the Deco app.
Power over Ethernet lets one cable deliver both data and power, which makes clean ceiling installs possible. As a single pack it is a building block, and covering a whole house means adding more Deco units.
Who it's for
People adding a Deco node in a hallway, garage or office ceiling with an Ethernet drop. Households without a PoE switch or injector should plan for the power adapter instead.
Pros and cons
- Runs on Power over Ethernet
- Ceiling and wall kits included
- Works with other Deco units
- App guided setup
- Single unit covers one area
- Only two wired ports
- PoE switch or injector not included
- Dual band only
Performance notes
Coverage depends on mounting height and position, and a ceiling spot spreads signal more evenly than a shelf. The multi-gig port carries a faster than gigabit link back to the router when wired. As a mesh node, wireless backhaul shares the five gigahertz band with client devices.
