TP-Link Deco M5 Whole Home Wi-Fi System Review
Like mentioned above, the setup and configuration of the TP-Link Deco M5 is by far the easiest Wi-Fi router that I have ever set up. This is perfect for those who just want to plug it in and go. There is no need to fiddle with obscure settings or constantly tweak things.
Pros:
- Covers up to 4,500 square feet
- Excellent parental controls

TP-Link Deco M5 Whole Home WiFi System Review
Final Thoughts For their first entry into the whole-home WiFi market I think TP-Link has a very strong contender in the Deco M5 system. This is our first time taking a look at a system like this so we cannot compare it to others, but comparing it to typical routers we can definitely see some areas...
Pros:
- – Easy setup
- – Better overall WiFi coverage than a normal router
- – Small profile
- – TPLink HomeCare included
- – Great unboxing experience
Cons:
- – Not as many configuration options as a normal router
- – Will need to buy a switch if you need multiple Ethernet ports

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

TP-Link Deco M5: A challenger for Google Wifi's crown
TP-Link has regularly topped the list of our favourite wireless routers at Expert Reviews in the past few years, but with mesh networking gaining ground over traditional methods of strengthening your home Wi-Fi coverage, it's having to change tack.
Pros:
- Great parental controls
- Three-year antivirus built in
- Strong wireless coverage
Cons:
- Slightly slow at close range
- Pricier than BT Whole Home Wi-Fi

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.

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.

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

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.
