As an IT professional, I have tried hundreds of combinations of routers and switches and wireless AP's. Like everybody, my needs have changed over time. The kids are old enough now to be using the internet, the house is getting smarter all the time, and even my television comes in over the web now. After exhaustive research and feature and price comparison, I decided to move on to the Deco m5. I was using a cisco asa firewall and cisco 3900 series switch with a netgear router in AP mode before, but it lacked the ability to easily implement parental controls. I get annoyed with the kids for staying up late playing on the internet after we go to sleep. I un-boxed the deco m5, very nicely packaged by the way, to find everything in order and ready for install. I powered down my firewall, called the ISP to have the IP address released, (I work for the ISP, so that was convenient) and got the router plugged into the internet connection. I am fiber to the house, so I don't have a modem. I had already installed the TP link app on my galaxy s6, so I was ready to get started. (Everybody else was at work/school so no complaining about the lack of internet while I did all this. YEA!!!!) The app found the deco with no issues and ran through the VERY basic setup process. Everything immediately came up and worked. I have 80 meg service and speedtest.net was reporting 82.7 download consistently over wireless. I started playing with the app, and under the advanced tab is an option to check for updates. I clicked it and it did indeed find one. 5 minutes or so later, the led indicator on the router went green again. This is where things went a little sideways for a few minutes. I spent the next 10 minutes losing and gaining wifi on my phone, and had to force stop the app a couple of times. Everything else in the house seemed fine, it was just my phone. I have six echos/dots in the house, and they all came right back up after the swap out. The echos/dots are usually the problem children to get connected after a power outage, so I was suprised. My wink hub didn't even seem to be affected. everything was functioning normally except the stupid phone. A quick restart on the phone seems to have fixed it. I did have 2 of my 5 wink relays lose connectivity, but I think they may have already been disconnected. A quick restart fixed them both. I plugged the second port into my cisco switch and all my wired devices reported for duty. Next step was to walk to the far corners of the house and run speed tests with my phone, which was still giving me pause because of its recent bad behavior. My home is 1400 square feet, and about 4 years old, with tech shield in the attic. (the aluminum foil looking coating on the inside of the roof decking to block the heat) wifi seemed to be great everywhere with speeds at maximum in every corner. (I bought the single Deco m5 unit) The router is actually in the garage in the corner for now, so it will probably cover significantly more ground once located in the center of the house. Next step was to setup parental controls. Yeah, this is the good part, talk back to me one more time you obnoxious little turd. Setup the profiles and went hunting MAC addresses. The only downfall to the process was finding all the mac addresses. Nothing has a logical name in the table you are looking at, everything just says "android" or "amazon". I started with "amazon", and that is when it hit me. I opened up my alexa app and went to settings, and then to devices. At the bottom of each device's settings page is the device's mac address. I found my trusty pencil and an envelope from some junk mail, and my list was soon made. You can change the name of the devices in the table on the Deco to recognizable names. I then went to the android devices and PC's. That was a little more time consuming, but not too bad. Next, assigning who the device belonged too. You do that at the bottom of the device settings page, just make sure you have already built that person's profile. When you set up the profile you give them a movie like rating system, and can disable or enable various types of websites or specific websites. Next option is setting time limits for daily usage, and last is setting hours to shut them out completely. Kids got pg-13, adults get "adult". Now that that's done, time to explore. I knew it was "alexa" enabled, so that was next. Honestly, don't waste your time. Alexa can do very little besides run a speed test and change the led's status. I was hoping to pause the kids internet just by telling alexa, but that is a no go for now anyway. It also cannot control access to wired devices with parental controls, so if you want to disable the kids smart tv's, make sure they are connected wireless. I probably should have given 4 stars due to the setup issue with the phone app, but everything is just working too good now. the parental controls shine, and the wireless connection seems to be rock solid. Only major negative I will give it, you cannot change it's lan IP address yet, but I have read that this feature is in the works in a future update. If you have anything set static on your current network like I do, you may have to change some IP's in a few devices. (Cameras, network servers, stuff like that) I only have a few devices like that, so I can handle it, especially for the price I paid for this. Overall, if you are on the fence, this is a great little mesh system. I wish it was POE powered and wall mountable, that would have made it perfect, but I guess it can sit on top of the fridge and do its thing. I'll update if anything changes, but I don't suspect I will have any trouble. Oh, and for anybody who is wondering, it does look like you can manage it remotely, as I can log in and change settings right now while I am at work. That could be handy for pausing the internet to make sure the kids do their homework before I get home from work, or to make sure they are doing their chores on time. I wonder if that will work with the old lady too???

Style: 2-pack
First off, I'd recommend getting the 3-pack unit as it's only $20 more than the two pack. If you don't need all 3 you have a spare. The product description says "WiFi Router/Extender," and I should have been more careful in selecting this product, as I had in my mind that it would allow me to extend an existing wifi signal (an existing SSID). It does not. I should have read the details more carefully. I saw “Wifi” and “Extender” and good reviews and bought it. It was the first Wifi Extender that didn't have a ton of bad reviews that I could find. And it does provide whole house coverage nicely; it just doesn't extend your existing wifi signals / SSIDs. This is a mesh wireless network kit. One of the units MUST be hard wired into your network via RJ45 cable (included). The default mode for the unit is as a wifi router (yes, it does DHCP). Once you've set it up you can go back into the config and change it to Wireless Access Point (WAP) mode. This is what I did. A few notes: Setup requires a Smartphone/Tablet. Requirements: iOS 9.0 or later, Android 4.4 or later AND Bluetooth 4.0 or later. You cannot have two separate SSID names for your 2.4 and 5 GHz networks. Whatever name you give the wireless network is used for both. I did not like this. You can selectively turn off either of the two frequencies. This unit IS A ROUTER by default. It has a Quad-core CPU and includes 2 LAN/WAN Gigabit Ethernet Ports. It includes TP-Link Mesh Technology: MU-MIMO, Auto Path Selection, Self-Healing, AP Steering, Band Steering, and Beamforming. You can get a cable modem and plug these units in as your only router and it will do DHCP and hand out IP addresses. It also comes with some malware protection. That being said, for those of us who already have a router doing DHCP you really need to put the Deco in WAP mode or have two DHCP devices on your network, which is BAD. There's an interesting 11-page TP-LINK forum thread (topic 160293) about a feature in the DECOs where if your router stops answering DHCP requests (say you're rebooting it or upgrading firmware) the DECO will detect that DHCP requests are not being answered and start handing out IP addresses. And apparently there is no way to turn this off. This “feature” has made lots of people very angry. It seems like if you set it up to use the same subnet for the Deco DHCP as your main router, but carved out a DHCP range for the DECO that is in your main router's static range that you never use you might be able to avoid this issue. YMMV. Firmware updates take about 5 minutes per WAP. I set up the unit yesterday and updated the firmware. There's already another update today. Not sure if this is the status quo or not. Since it is a router, I guess that's reasonable. There are fixed timers in the app so the hard-wired units are up long before the timer on the app runs out. ☹ The wireless slave units on the other hand take longer than the app timers, so it freaks out when the timer runs out and it's not done. It shows a HUGE number of a true remaining time. The good news is that it eventually updates successfully. Patience, young padawan. 😉 Updating the firmware on a second unit is a little glitchy. It keeps asking over and over it I want to update it. There's another button behind to Update Firmware. I eventually chose “Later” and was then able to select the Update Firmware button. Sigh ... You'll want the manual if you're going to use the router mode; you can find it at the TP-LINK website. Note that the Advanced features that allow you to configure the router disappear off the screen when you switch it to AP mode. I got these units to increase the wireless coverage in one room in my house where there's a ROKU and a TABLO. The performance on the TABLO was unacceptable. I setup the units, and then plugged both the TABLO and the ROKU into the Deco with RJ45 cables. Worked like a champ. Side note - you can turn off the LED completely or put it in 'night mode' and specify a time range for the light to be off. Nice. Overall, the app needs work. The ability to disable DHCP completely really needs to be added; it does not have this feature. The ease of setup was okay. The throughput was great.

No son muy potentes, tenia unos E4, y compre estos para aumentar la velocidad, pero no han sido como los E4, asi que tuve que combinar los M5 con los E4 que tenia, me dio buen resultado porque ahora tengo velocidad y cobertura.
