在对即将推出的Deco M4 网状 WiFi 系统进行^{(Deco M4 mesh WiFi system)}全球首发审查^{(world premiere review)}时，我们发现TP-Link正在准备通过固件更新、现有和即将推出的所有Deco型号之间的跨网状WiFi 兼容性。^{(WiFi compatibility)}因此，用户将能够使用TP-Link Deco M9 Plus、Deco P7、Deco M5和即将推出的Deco M4创建他们独特的^{(Deco M4)}网络拓扑^{(network topology)}。从这篇新闻文章中^{(news article)}了解^(Learn)更多信息：

用户将能够使用不同的 TP-Link Deco^{(TP-Link Deco)}模型创建网状网络

如果您仔细查看 Deco M9 Plus和Deco M5固件更新^{(firmware updates for Deco M9 Plus)}的发行说明，您可能已经注意到TP-Link从^(TP-Link)2018 年 7 月^{(July 2018)}开始测试其对Deco 系列^{(Deco family)}的跨型号兼容性。

这个功能是默默引入和测试的，大部分用户都没有注意到。在回顾即将推出的TP-Link Deco M4（首先在罗马尼亚和马来西亚^{(Romania and Malaysia)}发布）时，我们注意到TP-Link开始推广这种跨模型兼容性，作为一个独特的功能。

您可以在此产品页面^{(product page)}上亲自查看：马来西亚 TP-Link 的 Deco M4^{(Deco M4 at TP-Link Malaysia)}。在同一页面上，您还注意到他们提到了尚未推出的名为Deco M3W的产品。

TP-Link网站上的这篇帮助文章^{(help article)}也证实了这一信息，该文章最后更新于2018年11 月 29日：^{(November 29th)}如果我有多个 Deco^{(What should I do if I have more than one Deco )}模型^(model)该怎么办。

那篇文章明确指出，您可以混合和匹配以下Deco模型来创建您独特的网络拓扑^{(network topology)}：TP-Link Deco M9 Plus、Deco P7、Deco M5和即将推出的Deco M4。根据上面的截图，该公司还将即将推出的Deco M3W 型号^{(Deco M3W model)}添加到列表中。

TP-Link Deco 用户的好消息

TP-Link的这种方法对他们的客户来说是智能且有用的。例如，如果您购买了带有两个站的TP-Link Deco M5 套件^{(TP-Link Deco M5 kit)}，并且您发现需要再添加一个节点，以实现最佳覆盖范围和性能^{(coverage and performance)}。您可以购买更便宜的Deco M4并将其添加到系统中。或者，如果您想要更多性能和高级功能，您可以购买更昂贵的TP-Link Deco M9 Plus，并将其设置为网格中的主节点，将现有节点设置为辅助节点。这种交叉兼容性的重要部分在于您降低了对现有Deco 网状^{(Deco mesh)} WiFi 系统^{(WiFi system)}进行更改的成本。

您如何看待TP-Link对其Deco 家族^{(Deco family)}的态度？

我们喜欢TP-Link将在其所有^(TP-Link)Deco模型之间提供完整的互操作性这一事实。它使客户可以更轻松地以更低的成本升级现有的网状WiFi 系统^{(WiFi system)}，并在新型号推出时获得新功能。在结束本文之前，请告诉我们您对TP-Link方法的看法。你认为这是个好主意吗？另外，如果您已经拥有Deco 网状^{(Deco mesh)} WiFi 系统^{(WiFi system)}，您对它有何体验？

With the upcoming Deco M4, TP-Link allows users to use different Decos in one network

Whilе working on the world premiere review of the upcоming Deco M4 mesh WiFi system, we discovered that TP-Link is preparing through firmware updates, cross-mesh WiFi compatibility between all their Deco models, both existing аnd upcoming. Αs a result, users are going to be able to create their unique network topology using TР-Link Deco M9 Pluѕ, Deco P7, Deco M5, and the upcoming Deco M4. Leаrn more from thіs news article:

Users are going to be able to create mesh networks using different TP-Link Deco models

If you looked carefully through the release notes of firmware updates for Deco M9 Plus and Deco M5, you might have noticed that TP-Link started testing its cross-model compatibility for the Deco family in July 2018.

This feature was silently introduced and tested, and most users did not notice it. While reviewing the upcoming TP-Link Deco M4 (released first in Romania and Malaysia), we noticed that TP-Link is starting to promote this cross-model compatibility, as a distinctive feature.

You can see this for yourself on this product page: Deco M4 at TP-Link Malaysia. On the same page, you also notice that they are mentioning an yet not launched product named Deco M3W.

This information is also confirmed by this help article on TP-Link's site, which was last updated on November 29th, 2018: What should I do if I have more than one Deco model.

That article clearly states that you can mix and match the following Deco models to create your unique network topology: TP-Link Deco M9 Plus, Deco P7, Deco M5, and the upcoming Deco M4. According to the screenshot above, the company is also going to add an upcoming Deco M3W model to the list.

Good news for TP-Link Deco users

This approach from TP-Link is smart and useful for their customers. For example, if you purchased a TP-Link Deco M5 kit with two stations, and you discover that you need one more node added, for optimal coverage and performance. You can buy a cheaper Deco M4, and add it to the system. Alternatively, if you want more performance and advanced features, you can buy the more expensive TP-Link Deco M9 Plus, and set it as the primary node in your mesh, and the existing ones as secondary. The great part about this cross-compatibility is that you lower the cost of the changes that you make to your existing Deco mesh WiFi system.

What do you think of TP-Link's approach to their Deco family?

We like the fact that TP-Link is going to offer complete interoperability between all their Deco models. It makes it easier for customers to upgrade their existing mesh WiFi systems, at a lower cost, and get access to new features, as they become available with newer models. Before closing this article, tell us your opinion about TP-Link's approach. Do you consider it a good idea? Also, if you already own a Deco mesh WiFi system, what is your experience with it?
