TP-Link Deco M5 Access Point Wi‑Fi 5 Dual Band (2.4 & 5 GHz) 1300 Mbps

Very easy to set up.

Works a treat

We had already purchased a triple pack of these Deco M5’s a couple of years ago, as our Virgin router gave us dead spots all over the house. These were really easy to set up, you use one M5 as a router and then place the other Deco’s around the house and it sets up a mesh bubble that covers the house. You can change it to your current network name and password, so you don’t need to re-add all your devices they just connect automatically. We’ve had perfect internet everywhere since. We have a garden bar at the far end of the garden which gets terrible phone signal and the wifi didn’t quite reach. We bought this 2 pack to add onto the others, and it’s so easy it’s all run by the DECO app. You just tell it you are adding another one and it does everything for you. We added these 2 in the conservatory and the bar (took 5 minutes) and we now have perfect wifi all down the garden and in the bar (which is brick and double glazed). You can check the app to see what devices are connected and you can also set up parental controls if you need this! You can test your speed too. Thoroughly recommend for busy internet usage heavy households, well worth the cost. I work from home all day every day and have not had one issue with connection since installing. You can even get the little light on them to turn off at night to stop it disturbing you if they are placed in bedrooms!

I already had 3 units and bought these ones to extend further in the house. We have an old house with really thick walls, luckily with the extra ones it does the job to extend the WiFi everywhere.

The Wi-Fi is not that effective. It functions, that any normal Wi-Fi functions. The signal range is also not that great. From time to time you need to reset as the speed drops. When you reset, for few days it maintains the speed but later on it reduces although it doesn’t collide with any frequency on similar channel. It will does the job but not that effectively.
