It seems the videos I watched on the M5 have all setup the first pod with an existing router. I have an older Linksys 2500 router that I am reluctant to use as I think it may be a bottle neck for IPS speed. I believe I have the option to leave the old router out of the equation and connect the first pod directly to my modem. Is that accurate? The 1st Pod will then operate as my primary router? Because I have a need to plug in four ethernet cables at the location of my first pod I plan on purchasing the "TP-Link 3-packDeco M5 Mesh with 5 port Switch". So I assume that I would connect the 1st Pod to the Modem and then use the second port on the 1st Pod to attach the 5 port Switch. Is that also correct?
Do I configure Deco M5 with a Deco E4 or Just Make Deco M5 Main Router and than Connect Deco E4 with Deco M5 for AddOn Connection for whole home wifi mesh system
If I choose to use the same ssid as my current router is using, will I have interference or will I have have to turn off the router's SSID and only use the Deco?
Hi. The Deco will give you a new SSID (network) to connect to. Shouldn't cause any interference with your current router. Just make sure you connect to the Deco instead of your old network!
2nd speed test is done using the tp link app, which directly checks speed from main router, and not from the 2nd mesh
That is correct, It was odd he didn't use the same speed test tool on the second test, kind of deceiving.
Clear and a crisp video ! Thank you so much , set mine today .
Once the Decos are working, shoudn't we turn off the wi-fi signal from the provider router?

Great video !!! Is the M5 still worth buying in 2024 please?
Also can I mix a Deco Wifi 5 with Deco wifi 6 ?
How was the speed on the 2nd node??
Why didn't you use the same speed test for the 2nd node?
Can we setup 2 different ssid for 2.4 and 5 ghz?
Hi, I saw the 2nd node is also getting about 90mbps?
Does this Deco M5 work with a specific TP-LINK router or any routers from other brands?
I think I saw you have an Arlo camera system. How would you set this up with this system?

Is it better to be in router or ap mode
How many channel in 5 ghz?

@@DeviceDeal so no channel interference with current ssid?
Is it possible to connect Deco M5 to Deco M5 with 1km far? thanks
can we connect the 2nd device through wireless connection? since the 1st one is wired through the router?
Yep, that's how it works. Only one node needs to connect to your modem, the rest are wireless. Hope this helps!
@@DeviceDeal Hi, can the other ones be connected to Ethernet ports?
hello .. is this available 5Ghz? can you accept a 5GHz cellphone ?
Hi, sorry for the late reply. Yes it does work with 5Ghz Wi-Fi (speeds at up to 867 Mbps).
@@DeviceDeal thanks 🙏🏻
hey
its work good with the pc connection while playing multiplayer games?
We haven't tested gaming, can't say sorry. Connection speed was great though, so I think gaming would be fine.
@@DeviceDeal thanks i will try will let you know guys
@@OMG-pu3wc hi have you tried it with gaming? I also wanted to know before buying
