Cons:
- The Antivirus as a Separate Paid Service After Three Years

TP-Link Deco M5 router review: This mesh network comes with a side of antivirus
TP-Link’s Deco M5 isn’t the absolute fastest whole-home Wi-Fi system on the market, but it delivers very good performance and a strong set of features. TP-Link makes a strong entry into the whole-home Wi-Fi game with its Deco M5. This router performs very well and has one uncommon feature: integrated antivirus/antimalware (from Trend Micro) that can protect all the devices on your network. But if you want one, you’ll need to pay for a $300 three-pack, as that’s the only way it’s available right now.
Pros:
- Very good overall performance
- Built-in antivirus and anti-malware protection for the entire network
- Unobtrusive industrial design
Cons:
- No dedicated channel for data backhaul
- Must use a smartphone or tablet for setup and configuration
- Available in three-packs only

The TP-Link Deco M5 Whole Home Wi-Fi System
Overall, we were very impressed with the TP-Link Deco M5. While it didn't match our high-end router in terms of flat-out speed, we think it offers a fantastic overall networking solution for most households.
Pros:
- Very easy to use
- robust network controls that parents will appreciate
- excellent range
Cons:
- Flat-out speed not up to par with high-end routers
- few tweaks available to power users

TP-Link Deco M5 Whole-Home Wi-Fi System
At $299 for a set of three units, TP-Link's Deco M5 has more to offer than other similarly priced systems, like the Google Wifi , or the Luma . The most noticeable is the ability to keep the entire home network, including IoT devices, from online threats.
Pros:
- The Deco M5 Whole-Home Wi-Fi System is easy to use and delivers reliable Wi-Fi over a large area
- The system has more features than most other systems, including the ability to protect the entire network against online threats
Cons:
- The M5 doesn't have a dedicated backhaul band, so it suffers from signal loss when its units are linked together wirelessly
- It connects to TP-Link at all times and there's no access point mode for it to work well with an existing router
