• You can set up these routers yourself and choose which devices and tasks get priority
• Thanks to mesh, the speed of your WiFi is just as fast throughout your home.

Good WiFi mesh system for a smaller budget

• Easy to install
• Clear app with explanation of functions
• Built-in parental control filters
• The units cannot be hung

The TP-Link deco M4 mesh system is easy to install and use. The app provides clear instructions and explanations during installation and per function.

In addition to the router function, the 3 units can also be set up as access points, so that they are a wireless extension to an existing wired network.
In addition, each unit has 2 Ethernet ports, which is useful for connecting a network printer or NAS, for example.

The built-in options such as QoS, port forwarding and a parental filter are easy to set up via the app. However, there is no built-in firewall function.

The units must be supplied with power via the adapter, because there is no PoE option. What is unfortunate is that the units cannot be hung.

The throughput speed is fine. With this system I no longer have hitches with the video streaming services, they also load the content a lot faster.

top wifi set!

Simply a top WiFi set! Works very simply and does it very well and costs only a fraction of what some others cost. I don't understand what more you could want. :)
