Abstract: While many people are excited about Google WiFi, there's another name out there that is doing the same thing, and it's actually a bit cheaper. And that's the TP-Link Deco M5. Now TP-Link has been producing routers and other networking products for many y...
Easy setup, Better overall WiFi coverage than a normal router, Small profile, TP-Link HomeCare included, Great unboxing experience
Not as many configuration options as a normal router, Will need to buy a switch if you need multiple Ethernet ports
For their first entry into the whole-home WiFi market I think TP-Link has a very strong contender in the Deco M5 system. This is our first time taking a look at a system like this so we cannot compare it to others, but comparing it to typical routers we c...
After having the opportunity to test the TP-Link Deco M5 for several weeks, I'd have to say that TP-Link has quite a decent first entry into the mesh Wi-Fi market. Performance on the TP-Link is among the better systems we've tested to date although with i...
Like mentioned above, the setup and configuration of the TP-Link Deco M5 is by far the easiest Wi-Fi router that I have ever set up. This is perfect for those who just want to plug it in and go. There is no need to fiddle with obscure settings or constant...

Good Wireless Performance, Fast and Simple Installation Process, Really Well Done and Thorough Parental Controls, Ethernet + Wireless Backhaul, It Has A Competitive Price
The Antivirus as a Separate Paid Service After Three Years, Has Some Advanced Features, but the List is Short, App-Only Interface
Very good overall performance, Built-in antivirus and anti-malware protection for the entire network, Unobtrusive industrial design
No dedicated channel for data backhaul, Must use a smartphone or tablet for setup and configuration, Available in three-packs only
TP-Link's Deco M5 isn't the absolute fastest whole-home Wi-Fi system on the market, but it delivers very good performance and a strong set of features...
Very easy to use, robust network controls that parents will appreciate, excellent range,
Flatout speed not up to par with highend routers, few tweaks available to power users
Overall, we were very impressed with the TP-Link Deco M5. While it didn't match our high-end router in terms of flat-out speed, we think it offers a fantastic overall networking solution for most households. In the end, modern 802.11ac are more than fast...
The Deco M5 Whole-Home Wi-Fi System is easy to use and delivers reliable Wi-Fi over a large area. The system has more features than most other systems, including the ability to protect the entire network against online threats
The M5 doesn't have a dedicated backhaul band, so it suffers from signal loss when its units are linked together wirelessly. It connects to TP-Link at all times and there's no access point mode for it to work well with an existing router
The M5 is reliable and packs more useful features than most Wi-Fi systems in its price range...
