I am planning on buying a mesh wifi system for my house. I live in Africa and my country is still using WiFi 4, so will a wifi 6 deco unit work with wifi 4. Or is there deco products specifically for wifi 4?

Hi, Wi-Fi 6 is backward compatible with older generations like WiFi 4.

So far. Deco does not have a modem specifically for WiFi 4. If you are not intended to purchase any WiFi 6 clients soon, I suggest you could have a look at our Wi-Fi 5 models:

(You could turn off 5ghz and leave 2.4ghz only if 5ghz is not needed.)
