Deco M5

people, quit downvoting OP. they are obviously beginner and are eager to learn. that's a good thing. on consumer hardware, enabling a "guest network" will, in reality, set up a separate VLAN in the backend of the system- hidden away from the user. the reason why it's only available via wifi on consu

I'd go with the TP-Link Deco M5 solid budget mesh, dual-band, easy setup. Covers your size home fine. Wi-Fi 6 is nice, but not a must unless you’ve got a lot of newer devices. Deco M5 (Wi-Fi 5) should be enough.

Yeah it will remember. The best thing to do is to grab a two pack (or three pack) of tp-link Deco m5 or m7 mesh WiFi jobbers. Set them up with a nice WiFi name ‘fozzie free WiFi’ and make the password ‘your phone!!’ Or something. Then whenever you change your router, you just turn the WiFi off and p

I have an M5 mixed in with M9. I would use an M9 as the main deco instead of the M5. Also don't pass everything though that Kitchen M9.

The AP7 Lites are easier to manage, as are under the UniFi, no need for the TPLink app. The upstairs AP is in end position but the downstairs AP is still not ideally situated as still need to get the Ethernet into the hall ceiling, so is currently mounted onto front room wall and still reaches outsi
