TP-Link Deco in Router or AP Mode when paired with an isp router?
This matches my experience. I could only attain about 1/2 of my expected download speed over ethernet when using my Deco M5 node in router mode.

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

How will I upgrade my router?
I’m not familiar with huawei products, but do you know what the lan Ethernet ports are? If they’re 1 gig ports, you could just disable the wifi on the huawei and hook up any 3rd party access point. A lot of consumer products on the market will probably be all in one routers with wifi built in, but t

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

Questions regarding starting an AT&T Fiber basic home setup with Omada.
I'd buy an ER605v2 ($56) and one EAP610 ($90). Put them both by the AT&T ONT (maybe with the EAP610 up higher) and see if you get enough of an improvement. For less than $150 this will give you enterprise-grade Wi-Fi. This solved the Wi-Fi weak spots in my 2-story home. It is significantly better th

1Gig in, 400mb over WiFi?
The Deco M5 has a maximum wifi speed on 5 GHz of 867 Mbps and the X20 max wifi speed on 5 GHz is 1201 Mbps. Both routers only have 1 Gbps Ethernet ports, so the more devices connected (wired and wireless), the slower your WiFi speeds. 600 Mbps or so is probably your best speed, especially since neit

Unifi, is it really worth the bet?
I went from deco m5's to u6-pro and u7-pro. I think you can skip the 7 pros if you want to save some money because all my devices seem to prefer the 6. Prepare to spend $$$. It works better but I can't say it's amazing tbh. Also if you want to have something with more options than deco you may want

TP-Link Deco BE22 vs BE25 vs XE75 Pro - 2025 October (Wireless backhaul testing)
Since I’ve had the deco M5 earlier, I was pretty familiar with the ui. It’s the same app and everything is identical, except you get access to some new features. And no I’ve never felt limited.

Wifi chega fraco ao meu quarto
Se a casa não tiver rede ethernet, tens 2 opções não invasivas (a opção invasiva é colares cabo ethernet ao longo da parede) : mais facil: powerline (plc) - um modulo ligado ao router, outro no teu quarto mais dificil: se tiveres cabo de antena entre a entrada da casa e o teu quarto, compras cabo co
