Deco is a whole-home Wi-Fi solution that keeps your network strong, no matter the size or construction of your home. It creates a unified Wi-Fi network so you can enjoy one seamless connection as you move around your home.

ART (Adaptive Routing Technology) automatically chooses the clearest path for all your devices based on the location of each Deco unit. Whether it's 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz, ART places your devices on the right band based on the device and what you're using it for. With ART, you're free to move from room to room as you stream, game, download and browse—all on a seamless Wi-Fi connection.

Quality of Service prioritizes devices and applications for faster performance when needed.

HomeCare powered by Trend Micro (a $360 value) protects every device connected to your network from more than 100,000 new security threats daily.

A three-phase defense system blocks malicious threats and phishing sites, learns to stop attacking traffic and isolates infected devices. To better guard your network against viruses and malware, Deco automatically updates itself with the latest definitions and provides easy-to-use parental controls.

Deco is easy to set up. Simply download the app and let Deco find the perfect spot for the best coverage.

And Deco is backed by 24/7 lifetime support.
