Pros: – Super simple setup with a smartphone – So far changing between the “Decos” as I have moved from one side of my house to the other as well as the garage has been trouble free – Built in security. Cons: – I would have been nice if there was a way to mount the devices but it has worked great by sitting slightly hidden behind some end tables and other appliances. Overall Review: – I would definitely recommend this setup for covering large areas.

Pros: Simple setup. Covers my 4,000 sqft (single story) home with just three units. Less than half the price of other brands. Cons: Like others have said, it’s pretty light on features. This wasn’t an issue for me because I just turned off the wifi on my existing router and plugged these in and used them as WAPs. Overall Review: I replaced a mish-mash of Linksys, Netgear and D-link routers, WAPs and powerline networking gear with this simple system. Now my entire house is one single wifi zone with better performance and reliability. Can’t believe it actually works as advertised. Great value for the money.

Pros: Using with wired back haul and in wireless access point mode. This means I am running my own separate router and switch and each of these Deco M5s have a cat6 network cable running back to the switch. Allowed me to put throughout the house and get good coverage most places. Cons: does not seem quite fast enough for the steam link; though most will tell you to only run steam links with a wired connection… other devices all work fine. and If I tune some settings down on the steam link it works well enough being only a bit less pretty. In Wireless Access Point mode there are even less settings. so if you like or need lots of settings or options this won’t work for you. Overall Review: I would get this again. but maybe the next step up version next time; m9 or perhaps a future ax version. just to hopefully increase speed with a few devices. But otherwise works great not having any drops and devices work great!

Pros: Good coverage across my house with three devices Simple to connect to network once set up — WPS works okay Phone-based control app simple to use Cons: Initial set-up trickier than it had to be (see review) App a little bare-bones More physical ethernet ports would be nice Overall Review: I haven’t had these long, but so far they are performing well. Did run into an irritating thing on initial set-up: Set up first device, no problem. Says it needs a firmware update, so I let it do so. Afterwards try connecting other devices to WIFI network, fail miserably. Took a while to find out that they needed to have *their* firmware updated as well to connect. Had to tediously connect the other two devices to the internet and update the firmware. Once that was done, they connected to the network easily. No idea what would have happened if I had waited until all devices were up and running to try and do the update. Anyhow, all is good now, but be aware of that firmware thing before setting up your network.

Pros: I have had no issues. It was the easiest thing I did all day. Overall Review: I live in a one story ranch house. The Netgear router seemed to have lost some range or something. When using our phones in bed at night we were on the phone’s system, not our wifi. We also have a couple of brick walls to get through with our home’s layout. When I looked at mesh systems this one was the best reviewed, simplest to set up, and in our budget. A couple of weeks ago I received and installed three M5 mesh units. Instructions were clear, and installation was done in 30 minutes. I would recommend this to anyone.

Pros: — coverage — sophisticated software — remote monitoring/control — Alexa enabled Overall Review: I love the TP-Link mesh systems. These are great boxes and easy to set up, but you must use the software on iphone or Android. The M5 is a bit more powerful than the S4, but can be intermixed. TP-Link still doesn’t have app or web interface for desktop use. Remote management is great; you can easily monitor speed, white/blacklist, and update and client connection management. Updates take about 4 minutes. I can tell you that TP_Link will stand by their products for 2 years. They replaced a bad M5 unit after troubleshooting at no cost. The M5 has antivirus free for several years and a bit more parental control over the network than the S4.
