Deco M5 - why not?

  • I am aware that the Deco M5 is 8 years old now and don't want to suggest something that will stop receiving security updates in a couple of years. So why recommend something officially EOL?

New router suggestions

I have a TP-Link Deco M5 mesh router. It has a Mac clone feature. I tried to put it in bridge mode many times, but it never worked for me. I have cloned the MAC from the WAN status page instead of the label

HUGE Difference of Internet Speeds While on Mesh

Oh ok so baka same channel ung deco and yung router, tapos yung globe router uses 160mhz Wi-Fi 5Ghz. Pwede mo ba itry disable ung Wi-Fi ng router. Then with just deco Wi-Fi do Speedtest.

Replace Vodafone (UK) Power Hub with Deco M5

Few things, you need to contact City Fibre and ask for their PPPoE setting, this is a generic username and password that you will enter in the deco settings. Just a note that if you recently bought the M5 this is a very old product. I would honestly return it and get a X series or B series. Depends

1Gig in, 400mb over WiFi?

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

New customer - deadspots

I have a couple of Deco M5 units but it looks like older tech / hardware when compared to the Linksys Velop WiFi 6 router that Toob provide. I'm wondering if I should plug in the Deco or just leave it as is. Its the garden at the back where my WiFi drops a bit but then again I'm not going to be in t
