Here at Bob's house, we're awash in technology. Between computers and gadgets, we probably have 15-20 different Wi-Fi enabled devices. But I'm not a gearhead. I don't like spending hours tinkering with network settings to keep everything up and running.
Pros:
- Easy to install
- Robust management and user control features
- Excellent coverage
- Consistent
- reliable performance
- Excellent
- hands-off antivirus and intrusion security
- Remote control features allow you to manage your network from anywhere
Cons:
- Need to replace your existing network
- Continuous data sharing with TP-Link could present some risks
- Long-term pricing for the security package is unclear

Mesh Wifi Networks work !!!! This system is great
Bought this a few days ago as the house wifi was not working well and we were not getting the most of our NBN50 internet. Some streaming devices kept buffering and my Google Home kept disconnecting.

Has now had my Deco M5 for over 3 months and it works perfectly in our single-storey house of 180 sqm. Covering the entire house without any problems.

TP-Link Deco M5 Whole-Home Wi-Fi System
At $299 for a set of three units, TP-Link's Deco M5 has more to offer than other similarly priced systems, like the Google Wifi , or the Luma . The most noticeable is the ability to keep the entire home network, including IoT devices, from online threats.
Pros:
- The Deco M5 Whole-Home Wi-Fi System is easy to use and delivers reliable Wi-Fi over a large area
- The system has more features than most other systems, including the ability to protect the entire network against online threats
Cons:
- The M5 doesn't have a dedicated backhaul band, so it suffers from signal loss when its units are linked together wirelessly
- It connects to TP-Link at all times and there's no access point mode for it to work well with an existing router

Got rid of my dead spots
I purchased this because it will operate in access point mode (use my router) and is supports Ethernet backhaul. There were some minor setup glitches until the firmware updated. After updates and setup completed it has been bullet proof.

TP-Link Deco M5
Mesh routers aren't exactly new, but until now they've tended to command the kind of price points that have kept them out of the reach of the majority. TP-Link hopes to change that with the Deco M5, which offers up a mesh system much cheaper than the competition.
Pros:
- Great value for money
- Incredibly easy to configure
- Good coverage
Cons:
- Not as fast as some
- Lacks fine control
