Recently we received AC1300 Whole Home Mesh Wi-Fi System – Deco M5 for review.
This is a powerful solution for Wi-Fi connectivity whole home coverage, which aim to maximize the seamless coverage and eliminate the issues of weak signals as it is based on the usage of different units that connects to each other creating a unified network with the same name and the same password. This is completely transparent to you, as you can walk from a room to another and from a floor to another one without noticing that your laptop or smartphone is changing the device they are connecting to in order to get the fast and stable internet speed.
The technology used to get this result is called Deco Mesh Technology, which aim also to overcome the dad-zones problem and to have a better-distributed signal. The technology has also a self-healing capability, which means that if one of the devices has an issue the request is re-routed through another one.
The Wi-Fi coverage you get depend on the package you have. For example, a Deco M5 package, which include three devices, can cover up to 5500 square feet, whereas a Deco M5 two-pack delivers up to 3800 square feet. This solution is easily scalable as you can simply add one device anytime if you feel that what you have is not enough for you.
And you can have up to 100 devices connected.
The setup is quite easy and you do not need to be an IT guru to do it. The Deco app that you can install is quite simple and straightforward.
Moreover the device’s design is esthetic and you can put it in your living room without worrying about having these ugly boxes with antennas in the middle of the room.
It’s really incredible how the technology is evolving each day! I immediately adopted this product but I questioned myself also about the risks of having Internet easily accessible in the whole house including my 6 and 12 years old kids’ bedrooms!
This is definitely something to worry about, of course internet is available everywhere but it’s our duty as parents also to put the necessary mechanisms to protect our children from all these cyber threats.
Fortunately, Deco M5 is well designed to take care of this question too.
Indeed, TP-Link HomeCareTM provides a suite of personalized and secure features, including Parental Controls, built-in Antivirus and Quality of Service (QoS) which enable you to block certain websites, to put rules for the accessibility and to priorities some traffic over others.
If you would like to know more about AC1300 Whole Home Mesh Wi-Fi System, I recommend that you consult their website where you can find more information about the features and the specifications.
Here is also the Link to Amazon, to have an idea about the price.
Having that said, it’s really necessary to raise some awareness with your children about cyber security and how they can surf and take all the benefit from the technology without being exposed to any harm.
For that, I recommend you this TP-Link Deco Whole Home Mesh WiFi System.
