• Interested in anyone's experience of the TP-Link Deco mesh units. Do I need to splash the cash on the M9 (as the TP Link website seems to suggest) or can I get away with the M4?
    I'm using the internets for wfh and normal stuff (Teams calls are probably the most intensive thing I use it for).
    Any experience/advice gratefully received.

  • I have the M4 with 4 people using pretty much constantly and it's fine (off a 100MB connection). I would imagine there's a bit of future-proofing in the M9s, but unless your walls are 10ft thick lead, I wouldn't imagine the powerline adds a lot.

  • I went for the Deco M5 three pack.

    Over a three storey house it's been totally brilliant. Solid WiFi signal up to 100mbs throughout. Haven't had a problem since we bought it and it took about 20 mins to set up the whole thing.

  • 3x M5 here. I could have done with M9 as I run a powerline out to the shed. I bought M5 for Ethernet backhaul. The only issue is you can’t select channel at all, even for the guest network, and Wahoo bolt can only use 1 - 9.

    I’m running as access point atm but will be getting a new modem to allow me to use it for routing, I’m curious about network usage monitoring.

    Oddly they don’t wall mount.
