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.
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

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 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

TP-Link Deco M5 Review
TP-Link's new Deco M5 mesh networking kit targets simplicity, but it's half-baked.
Pros:
- Unique circular design
- Support for Ethernet-based Deco-to-Deco communication
Cons:
- 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.

Tired of patchy wifi using conventional extender system, so I wanted to try a mesh system. This one came recommended by "Which" as a Best Buy and was on sale at a discount so I took the plunge. Setting up the wired connection to the broadband modem was very straightforward.

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. Especially like the possibility of being able to control the children's possibility of WiFi both in number of possible hours / day and set specific...
