tado° smart thermostat + TP-Link Deco mesh
Works well together
Independent WiFiXpert score. No sponsorship, no shopping link, no manufacturer input.
We see very few problems putting a tado° smart thermostat on a TP-Link Deco mesh. Set it up on the main Wi-Fi name and it should simply stay put.
What it looks like when it goes wrong
- Occasional drop-outs after a power cut or a router restart.
Do these, in this order
- 1
Restart the router, wait two minutes, then restart the gadget.
- 2
Check the bridge is still plugged into the new router.
- 3
Restart the bridge by unplugging it for 30 seconds.
Settings we'd recommend on the TP-Link Deco mesh
- • Put the gadget and your phone on the main Wi-Fi name, not the IoT or guest network.
- • In the Deco app, leave 'Smart Connect' on but turn 'Fast Roaming' off if a device keeps dropping.
Good to know about this router: Deco's IoT and guest networks are separate from the main one, and smart-home kit put on them often can't be seen by your phone. Some Deco models trim the background chatter that speakers and printers rely on.
If none of that works
- If the gadget only ever sits in one spot, a wired connection is always the most reliable answer.
