Deco M5 upgrade

I’m also running the deco m5 for close to 10 years as well. I have asked myself this same question many times before Answer. If you isn’t broken don’t fix it Unless cash isn’t an issue then go for it.

Mesh network device

I’ve been using TP Link Deco M5 for 4 years. I bought six, three are in my house, one is on my back deck, one is in a garage and one is in an outdoor boathouse. I was able to blanket my whole yard (3 different buildings) in a mesh. The three that are not in the house, have been exposed to outdoor am

Complete beginner - was TP-link deco M5 the wrong purchase?

Deco can absolutely work with an Ethernet backhaul. On one of your M5s, use one port to connect to WAN, and the other to connect to LAN. This is the Router Mode configuration. On the other M5, use one port to connect to the LAN. Because you bought a pack of three M5s, you can put a switch between th

Do I need to upgrade my router modem?

If it isn’t broke don’t fix it. I’m still using a deco m5 from 2018 and I’m on 1000/50. Desktops are connected via Ethernet.

Best hardware?

Well, it looks like the issue was wireless latency, despite my router sitting literally about 8 feet from my Fire TV Stick, in line of sight. I added an old TP-Link Deco M5 I had lying around and connected it to my existing setup (sitting right next to my ISP-supplied router), and it achieved about

Grid Failover Time

Just a flicker. My internet routers (TP-Link Deco M5) didn't even reboot when we cut off grid power.

Ethernet Backhaul Setup

Edit: so after a lot of time has passed, the app is finally showing the Ethernet backhaul to the two satellite M5's (go figure). Hopefully it'll stay that way and stable. :) This is a great conversation! We recently cut our cords from Xfinity TV and switched over to their NOW Internet-only option. I

Home router recommendations for low lantency

I love my current setup, but I think wired will make the biggest difference. I have an edgerouter 4 for my router. For wifi coverage I have a deco m5 mesh running in AP mode. Covers my whole house great with the 3 provided discs. With that I can run smart que up to max speeds of around 300. Smart qu

Preciso refazer a rede do meu AP, me ajudem a escolher os melhores equipamentos

Eu aceitei o Double NAT e seja o que Deus quiser. Até o momento não vejo indícios de problema, e isso desde 2021. Meu roteador não dá pra desativar o NAT e fazer bridge no Deco me deu preguiça. Kkkkk Tive um Deco M4, agora tô com X50. Na real, Devo até são bons produtos, mas inconsistentes entre os
