Maximum wireless transmission rates are the physical rates derived from IEEE Standard 802.11 specifications. Range and coverage specifications along with the number of connected devices were defined according to test results under normal usage conditions. Actual wireless transmission rate, wireless coverage, and number of connected devices are not, and will vary as a result of 1) environmental factors, including building materials, physical objects and obstacles, 2) network conditions, including local interference, volume and density of traffic, product location, network complexity, and network overhead and 3) client limitations, including rated performance, location, connection quality, and client condition. MU-MIMO capability requires both the mesh system and client devices to support MU-MIMO. Free lifetime subscription to TP-Link HomeCare is included with purchase on select TP-Link models at no additional cost. “Lifetime Subscription” refers solely to the life of the purchased device and cannot be transferred. TP-Link reserves the right to modify the service and feature at anytime.

Excellent for Ethernet Backhaul setup
I originally purchased Eero Pro due to the abundance of positive reviews and stability. It was fast, covered entire house, and worked well from the get-go, but seeing that I was using Ethernet Backhaul and not WiFi backhaul, there was no need for the 3rd band feature. To save money, I decided to try out the TP Link Deco M5.Background:I have 1Gbps fiber internet speed. 4,800 sqft, 3 story home with cat 5e ethernet running throughout the house. All Deco M5 access points are connected via Ethernet [Cat5e] backhaul from an unmanaged 1Gbps TP Link Switch. I have over 30 devices that use either WiFi or Ethernet.Set Up:The set-up is easy through the Android app and took only about 15 minutes for initial setup. I first connected all the Deco units wirelessly then the first thing I did was update the firmware. After everything was green, only then did I connect all of them via Ethernet Backhaul [star configuration]. [one on each floor of the house]Everything connected like a charm via Ethernet but did have some connection issues at first that nearly prompted me to return it.1. I could not for the life of me get the Ring Cameraâs to connect. I spent hours adjusting TP Link settings [disable fast roaming, enable 2.4GHz only, adding ports, etc]. I connected the Eero Pro back and Ring worked perfectly fine. I nearly returned the TP Link Deco just for this. On the second day, I went ahead and factory restored the TP Link and Ring cameraâs, reconnected it and FINALLY TP Link Mesh and Ring worked flawlessly [as a precaution, using the TP Link app, I did choose the Ring Cameraâs NOT to roam to the other Access Points]2. For whatever reason, the 2 access points were only giving me at most 100Mbps WiFi being 5 feet away (and yes, my device was connected to the closest Access Point). I had to reboot the the entire network and reboot my devices to finally get the full advertised WiFi speeds. 10 feet away I am getting 450Mbps DownUp speeds via 5GHz WiFiPerformance:I currently have fast roaming switching disabled, and even then my phonelaptop connects to the strongest point without interruption and super quick. I have no dead zones and no disconnects so far. At about 10 feet away [line of sight] I am getting solid 450Mbps â at about 15 feet away [in another room with walls] it drops to about 180-250 Mbps. The further out and more walls, it drops down.Guest network is also enabled and roams between access point without error (youâll have issues if connected to a managed switch or DLink switch though â best be safe and either Daisy chain the Deco Access points or connect to a TP Link unamanged switch in a star configuration).I like that you can turn off 5GHz andor 2.4 GHz on both the Main SSID and Guest SSID [Eero does not have this option]. Theoretically you can have one SSID hosting 5GHz and the other 2.4GHz for better device control; HOWEVER, I currently have both SSID combined with both frequencies enabled and have not had any issues with the devices.App:The app has enough features to make customized settings (such as Ports, VLAN, QoS, device priority, etc). I like how the Parental Controls is FREE and works well (unlike with Eero where you have to pay a monthlyyearly subscription).You also get 3 years free of network AntiVirus (Eero only gives you 30 days). You are able to view all devices connected, custom its name, and even choose whether or not you’d want that device to roam to other AP.ConsDislikes:1. I did try out WiFi Backhaul instead of Ethernet Backhaul, and will say that it underperformed (highly likely due to it being a 2 band system) and is the reason why Iâd recommend the Eero Pro per my results (I have not tested the M9, but i’d assume it would perform better due to the dedicated 3rd band)2. It has web-based GUI, but itâs mainly a view only type of page. You cannot adjust settings.Overall â if you are doing Ethernet Backhaul â save your money and get the Deco M5! After a few hiccups during my initial setups I have not had a single problem.If you will be connecting via WiFi then get a 3 band system [Donât get the M5]. I recommend the Eero Pro for a large home (although it wouldnât hurt to try out the Deco M9)

I am impressed with the tp-link Deco m5 3-pack whole home mesh system. I have amazing coverage now in my home and the SPEED has improved too! It’s still early to give my complete thoughts on the system however so far so good!It works with the echo and smart devices in my home. It also works great with my surveillance cameras. I am still learning how to use the app on my phone.One small issue is that you cannot adjust the channel. The mesh system has a self healing network optimization feature which handles any issues you may have in signal or apparently channel interference. Time will tell.I recommend this product.

Este paquete de 3 sustituye a un Apple Airport Extreme y a un Apple Airport Express que tuve durante varios años en mi casa de dos niveles y que me estaban dando problemas porque se desconectaban entre ellos y la velocidad en la planta alta apenas era de 2.5 Mbps cuando la velocidad de mi proveedor de internet es 55 Mbps (nada extraordinario pero es cable es la mejor opcion en mi zona).La instalación es relativamente sencilla pero no creo que cualquiera lo hubiera podido hacer. Hay que bajar una App y de ahà seguir instrucciones para activar y enlazar uno a uno las tres bases. Yo lo hice todo en la misma habitación y luego me llevé dos bases a los lugares de la casa en donde creo necesito mejor cobertura. Yo ya tenÃa definido los lugares pero supongo que hay que probar para encontrar la mejor ubicación de cada base.El resto fue muy sencillo, le puse el mismo nombre y contraseña a la red asà que no tuve que volver a conectar cada cosa de la casa y poco a poco me fueron apareciendo en la App como dispositivos conectados. La App es la única forma de configurar y controlar las bases o la red. Esto es algo a lo que ya estaba acostumbrado con los Apple Airport pero la App de TP-Link tine mucho mas funciones y opciones para configurar. Yo no le he movido nada y funciona sin problema.El resultado es que ahora la señal de la red es mucho mas fuerte en toda la casa y la velocidad en la planta alta paso de 2.5 Mbps a 45 Mbps!!! No se degrada con la interferencia de otras redes (hay com otras 10 alrededor de mi casa) y la velocidad es constante o yo no noto la diferencia. Es importante aclarar que en mi casa, lo mas demandante que hacemos es ver Netflix en HD en dos teles o en una tele y un iPad mientras usamos otras cosas que no consumen mucho ancho de banda.Yo esperaba una diferencia de velocidad entre la planta baja y la planta alta mucho mayor, habÃa leÃdo que podÃa ser hasta 40% menos pero estoy muy contento de que solo sea 10% menos, entiendo que esa diferencia es algo normal y me parece que este producto ha resuelto mi necesidad muy bien. El precio varÃa mucho, yo lo puse en el carrito cuando estaba como en 7 mil y compre cuando estaba casi a la mitad!!!

This is a great device. I used Singtel and had so many issues with the WiFi. However with TP Link deco the connections don’t break and mpr ver I get better speed. Throughly recommend for anybody having WiFi issues in Singapore and tryin to get a mesh. Btw I spend a lot on buying silly extenders which never worked.
