This is a great product. It creates a strong wifi signal in our house. As you need one unit to sit with existing wifi router, you really only have two units to place in dead zones around your home. Highly reccommended.

In short, the TP-Link Deco M5 is a worthy entry to the low end of the mesh networking market, and it includes network-based antivirus and excellent parental controls. We prefer Google Wifi's app and the way it can proactively change channels to improve wireless performance and avoid interference,...

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

Pros:

- Setup is super easy

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.
