This mesh router is horrible.
I am so disappointed with the Deco M5. It worked okay for the first couple of weeks but ever since (maybe after a firmware update) it has been horrible. We are not high bandwidth users but for the past 5 months, we have to reboot the main router 3-10 times a week.
Pros:
- Compact

TP-Link Deco M5 review
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

Disappointed!
Unfortunately, I had constant issues with mine. The units had a lot of trouble during setup trying to get the mesh connected. After, setup my internet would drop ever so often for no reason whatsoever. I ran a constant ping and was losing about 15-20 percent of my packets.

Huge upgrade
Really easy to install and add further units. We live in an old thick walled bungalow and WiFi has always been an issue. Used powerline etc which help but were never great. These have flooded the house in rock solid and fast WiFi.

TP-Link AC1300 Whole-Home Wi-Fi System, DECO M5 3P
Very pleased with the product. We have a very long house and this was a great solution. Set up was easily accomplished via Bluetooth and my cell phone. We were up and running in about 20 minutes( have to set up 3 pods).
Pros:
- multiple "pods" to place in high usage areas
- super easy set up
Cons:
- cost is high but worth it

With multi-room mesh-based Wi-Fi solutions becoming more prominent, every networking brand out there has come out with their own trendy lifestyle routers. Routers that aren't conspicuous big grey boxes but devices as elegant and aesthetically appealing as any iPhone or Samsung flagship.
Pros:
- App works well
- Setup is super easy
Cons:
- Settings can be light on detail
- Minimalist design might not be for everyone

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.
