What customers say about "Key Specs"

TP-LINK Deco M5 Whole Home Mesh WiFi System (Pack of 3)

Step up TP link and hey presto, we have decent speed WiFi throughout the house, plus some of the outbuildings.
Unobtrusive, took just 15 mins to set up and brought my WiFi speed almost to the same level as a wired connection.
Best ever used home wifi .. very easy to setup and top speeds across our house.
Fast in the room the initial deco was installed. Deco in next room is only getting speeds of around 10% of original. Actually slower than my virgin router from the other room.
Excellent in initial room - very poor in room 5-10 metres away.

What customers say about "Size & Weight"

TP-LINK Deco M5 Whole Home Mesh WiFi System (Pack of 3)

Each of the three disc are identical in size. The one you choose to attach to your modem becomes the “main” one.
Small size but powerful and easy install.
Super happy with this wifi system so far and its also smaller in size and the price is fair for three units.
The Deco system comes with three small units, which are each the size of a small plate.
It is so lightweight that even weight of slightly dangling, connected Ethernet cables can actually put it off balance and make it tilt.

What customers say about "Network Specifications"

TP-LINK Deco M5 Whole Home Mesh WiFi System (Pack of 3)

I stream 4K content ... my download speeds in the far reaches of the house are 180-200Mb ! Why I never knew about these earlier I’ll never know.
I have good speeds around the house. Well done TP-Link.
It really works brilliantly. Very easy to install and really does give you a strong fast signal in all rooms.
Dead zones and restarting was a routine process. After installing these Decos just 2 filled the house with almost full speed adding the third was just because I could but nonetheless they just work and there are no regrets.
Now with Deco I have consistent straight through wifi speed of up to the 73Mbps (again using Speedtest on the device and not the Deco speedtest), rarely going below 60-65Mbps.

TP-LINK Deco M5 Whole Home Mesh WiFi System (Pack of 3)

Love the controls.. we are now getting the max mbps that comes in to our house through our WiFi .. HAPPY DAYS .. and also it has a guest wifi and parental controls .. wow..
The app that comes with it is fantastic and has some useful tools like seeing who is using the internet and stopping viruses. They are easy to use and clear to operate.
The app is dead easy to use and maintains the mesh without a hitch. Highly recommended.
The set up went exactly as it should with no hitches - a complete idiot could follow the instructions in the app.
Great product. Straightforward to set up, and app works well on the phone.
