They think I'm crazy

The latency is really specific to everyone’s own setup and then the things they don’t have control over, external factors right behind the router all the way to Nvidia. What works for you might not work for everyone. I’ll say I have really rarely issues and most of the time I’m using a wired connect

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

TP-Link Deco M5 & M9 Mixed Fleet - Intermittent Connection Failures

If you need that wireless backhaul in the kitchen, I'd arrange them somehow to make sure you get an M9-M9 backhaul. M9-M5 backhaul is not as good. The M5 only has 2 bands and the M9 has 3. Also... the 2.4 ghz bands although less theoretical speed than the 5ghz bands can travel further and through wa

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

Moved into a house with solar barely any info left by previous owner (now with pictures)

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

TP-Link Deco M5 & M9 Mixed Fleet - Intermittent Connection Failures

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. Put a switch there and not use the M9 as a one port switch like you have now or just plug your main deco into the same switch as the other ones. And get rid of that

Help with Screenbeam Moca 2.5 & TP Link Deco M5

Ok, I got it working. I decided to pull everything apart and start over, but go one baby step at a time. - I disconnected the 3-way splitter, left the poe filter on, and connected it to just the one line that brings internet into the basement - at the modem, I connected the 2-way splitter with a lin

U7-lite or u7-pro?

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
