Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

Pros

A wall in the living room separates the living area from the sleeping area. The only disruption is the antenna signal on weaker channels. For my detached garage office, i have the router and satellite by windows to get signal across my courtyard.

Installation was very easy and only took about 20 mins to complete the sync and installation. Deco app walks you thru the installation steps with ease. It makes it easy to set up you wifi name and password.

For optimal performance, use gigabit ethernet as backhaul. Each device having ethernet backhaul and ethernet passthrough makes them perfect if you have a wired home. You can also use ethernet to connect to the internet.

The tp-link deco m5 is a great value for a home wifi upgrade. It works great. Technical support from their staff, especially katherine *, is exceptional.



Cons

Deco doesn't work for everything. Can't manually set up multiple devices. Constantly loses signal five feet away from remote units. Not giving a customer a secondary way to get the information needed is lame customer service. I'm one of those people t...  Read More

It is unusable. It’s worse than having dial up. Given there's a pandemic and both my wife and i work virtually that's not acceptable.

Quality


App is easy to use and well made.


Easy installation and extended my wifi more than advertised into back yard


Maybe it’s the way our house is built because wifi is an issue downstairs, even directly below the router upstairs.


First day hooked up as a router and back on line.

Price


Especially since the equipment price went up.


I was expecting a little longer out of them for what i paid but it is what it is.

Shipping


I contacted tp-link support at 7pm on a friday night and got to speak to mark dalmacio.


It took me 2 days to hook up as the app is a little confusing.


The router supplied by my internet carrier was great but it didn't reach certain areas of the house.

Competitiveness


Very easy to set up compare to other one in the market


I'd recommend it as it's better than other mesh wifi systems we've had.


And they work better than the ones from the internet provider.
