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.

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

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

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
