TP-Link Deco M5 AC1300 Whole Home Mesh WiFi System (3 Pack) DECO M5(3-PACK) review
In general, we’d always recommend a whole-home mesh networking system to any home that’s struggling to get a signal. Although the market is competitive, the TP-Link Deco M5 has a few advantages over competing models.
TP-Link Deco M5 Whole Home Mesh WiFi System review
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.- 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

TP-Link Deco M5 Mesh WiFi Network Review
While many people are excited about Google WiFi , there's another name out there that is doing the same thing, and it's actually a bit cheaper. And that's the TP-Link Deco M5. Now TP-Link has been producing routers and other networking products for many years, so it arguably has more experience in...
TP-Link Deco M5 Whole-Home Wi-Fi System
The Deco M5 Whole-Home Wi-Fi System is definitely an appealing option for those looking to get setup with a Wi-Fi mesh network. It is easy to setup, provides uniform coverage over the area it claims to, and is rather attractively priced.- » Easy setup

TP-Link Deco M5 AC1300 Whole Home Mesh WiFi System (3 Pack) DECO M5(3-PACK) review
If you are looking for an easy way to have WiFi-coverage in your entire house, mesh is definitely a solution you should consider. Without having to drill in the walls you can easily build a network that covers the entire house.
Excellent
I have had this active for about a week. So far, they are working great. I would recommend purchasing them.
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).- multiple "pods" to place in high usage areas
- super easy set up
- cost is high but worth it
TP Link
The product is working fine. However I noticed it is made in China. I expect the Good Guys and other Australian businesses to take tangible steps to source products from other countries and my support for businesses will depend on this.
TP-Link Deco M5 Review
TP-Link's new Deco M5 mesh networking kit targets simplicity, but it's half-baked.- Unique circular design
- Support for Ethernet-based Deco-to-Deco communication
- Unstable Bluetooth mobile setup process
- No web-based backend
- Wireless AC devices have a 433Mbps limit
- Shallow "advanced" features
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.
