The Deco M5 is TP-Link's entry-level whole-home mesh system, sold as a three-unit kit that blankets a house in dual-band Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) signal. Each unit is a small white cube with two gigabit Ethernet ports and internal antennas, rated up to 400 Mbps on 2.4 GHz and 867 Mbps on 5 GHz. It is a simple, app-managed system aimed at people who want reliable coverage without configuring routers by hand. Against newer Wi-Fi 6 mesh kits it is slower and has no USB or advanced networking, but owners consistently praise its easy setup, stable coverage and built-in antivirus and parental controls.
