Solid throughput performance, Robust parental controls, Built-in virus and malware protection, Easy to install, Well-designed mobile app
No web interface, Does not support dedicated band control
The TP-Link Deco M5 Wi-Fi System is a stylishly designed Wi-Fi system that delivers solid throughput performance and supports MU-MIMO streaming. It's also a breeze to install and its feature set is robust...

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...
Is the TP-Link deco the answer to every problem for parents? Absolutely not. But it ticks my most vital boxes: control access to the internet by time, across all devices; instantly switch off connection during meal times; tough enough controls that the ki...
Great parental controls, Three-year antivirus built in, Strong wireless coverage
Slightly slow at close range, Pricier than BT Whole Home Wi-Fi
In short, the TP-Link Deco M5 is a worthy entry to the low end of the mesh networking market. It's well priced at £230 for three nodes, and it includes network-based antivirus and excellent parental controls.I prefer Google Wifi's app and the way it can p...

Strong coverage, Good longrange speeds, Good value
Closerange performance isn't the best

Abstract: One of the most common annoyances of modern man is a poorly functioning WiFi connection. Especially now that more and more devices are becoming connected and it only gets busier in the ether, it can do no harm to take a good look at your current equipment...

When we look at the results of our first major comparative mesh-test, it is striking that mesh-technology certainly does not guarantee a higher throughput in all cases. It is also noteworthy that the test results clearly show that a client that is close t...
