TP-Link Deco Mesh WiFi System(Deco M5) –Up to 5,500 sq. ft. Whole Home Coverage and 100+ Devices,WiFi Router/Extender Replacement, Anitivirus, 3-pack

Very easy to set up. The WiFi performance is spectacular. I have internet service from our cable service, Optimum. I was previously using a Tenda Router. Its good equipment, but not the best way for a raised ranch house. Additionally, I needed to use 4 tp-link WiFi repeaters. Now, with the mesh system, no more repeaters. Im paying for 100 Mbps service through our provider, and Im experiencing 115 Mbps download and 36 Mbps upload. Im also using 14 tp-link smart plugs, in the house, they all get discovered, by the mesh routers, no matter where the plugs are placed, in the house. You people make well engineered products, I am a grateful customer. Thank you.

Worked well for 6 months, now it’s not so great. Now WiFi is in and out at the same time every day and they can’t explain it. Customer service leaves a lot to be desired. Getting a replacement is a chore. You must pay for shipping and prepay for the replacement in the event you don’t return it in 25 days and they will replace the money in your account if you send it back in time. I’ve never heard of a company doing this. Any company I’ve needed a product replaced sent the product for free with replacement shipping for free. There are products just as good if not better on the market with better customer service. Be careful.

It took me under 10 minutes to get my mesh up and running. Easy straightforward installation. I deducted 1 star because the package arrived dusty but contents were fine.

This was a super easy system to install and we gave multiple devices using it, my husband I work from home and previously I was getting g thrown off our Wi-Fi but not now. Had it for a few months and it’s been very dependable.

I used to have just on wifi router in my basement and decided to give these a try. I absolutely love them. I bought the 3 pack and have one on every level of my home. There is nowhere in my home now that is a dead spot. I also love how It notifies me when a new device has connected.

We have an Airstream in the backyard used as a guest space, and our wifi signal was terrible. We have a combination AT&T gateway/router. The router signal strength has always been terrible even inside the house, and we have used a Netgear extender for years to get signal to the back of the house. I didnt want to spend $$$ and time running ethernet and setting up any kind of outdoor system, so decided to try a mesh network. I liked the look and price of the 3-pack Deco M5 system. I thought if I could increase the signal strength and use more than one extender, maybe I could get wifi out in the camper. The gateway comes in through a converted garage apartment, so there is an exterior wall separating the rest of the house. Setup was super easy via smart phone app, no hiccups whatsoever. I turned off the wifi feature on the gateway so the main Deco would act as the router, which is hooked up by ethernet cable to the gateway. I placed the second node where our old extender used to be in the main house, about 50 feet away from the router. The signal is 2 out of 3 bars (good) and STEADY. The extender was never steady. It is near a window with hopes of casting the signal to the third node, which I placed in the Airstream - but this one is 90 feet away! I placed the third node in the Airstream, and it has a signal of 2 out of 3 bars (good) and is also STEADY, source of signal being the second node. AMAZING! According to the app the download speeds match my internet service (100). We now have steady, uninterrupted wifi in the Airstream. Streaming is without any hiccups whatsoever. I am so impressed, considering the nodes are 50 and 90 feet apart. Some stuff I learned - there is definitely a sweet spot to place the nodes in order to get the strongest signal and correct signal source. When the second node is moved just a foot away, the signal drops to 1 bar. Placement is everything, so play around until you get the best signal. Our sweet spot in the Airstream is a ceiling mount under an overhead build-out. However, when my husband mounted it, he moved it about a foot south and (what he thought) was closer to the signal source (2nd node). It then picked up the signal for the main router Deco, which was only 1 bar and weaker, being further away. When moved back, it picked up the 2nd node signal with the stronger signal again and all is well. The app is fine for our purposes and simple home network. You can turn off the LEDs all the time or just at night. You can prioritize bandwidth - we set ours to streaming. We set up a guest network. You can use parental controls and antivirus. Our devices seamlessly jump from one node to the next, all on the same network. No hiccups, no failures. Recovers and resumes from power loss. Once you find the sweet spots for your nodes all is well, no problems. Just had to brag, and I still cant believe Im getting steady, reliable wifi at 50 and 90 feet and didnt have to run cable all over the place or buy outdoor equipment. Winner!!!

Very easy to install out of the box. We have a large 2 story home (4000s.f.) and were worried about dead spots, but on the first placement we got full coverage, indoors and even outdoors on our 1/4 acre lot! Had it 6+ months now, definite recommend.

Installed easily in a few minutes with no problems. I now have full bars on my WiFi throughout my two-bedroom, 1000 sq. ft., single-floor apartment. It has worked so well that I didnt even need the third unit. I might just put the third one in the basement to extend coverage to the basement and backyard, even though I have never needed to have WiFi in those locations. Fortunately, as an American, I am genetically predisposed to believe that more is always better.

We live in a 185sqm one floor house. The house is built in concrete, wooden doors. Super strong Wi-Fi signal almost everywhere. One place where signal travels across 2 closed doors there is a little drop in download speeds. Excellent buy.

We have an addition that, I swear, was built like a faraday cage. I used to have to run a hardline into the addition so it could have its own WiFi network. No longer. This system was super easy to set up and I have just about as good a connection as possible in the faraday cage. Blanketed the entire house in the strongest signal Ive had here. Definitely recommend this beast!
