adamjohariGo unifi my guy. Used to use the deco m9 plus as well. Literally don't have to reset my router. Stable connection. Don't forget to add a rack and make everything pretty.
alphaquetooI've got a Deco X10 and two M9 Plus covering three floors of a house. Works great for me. They're decently powered devices, each running about 8-10 WiFi clients including two TVs streaming simultaneously.
archer-86Yes. More control is better. With Unifi you can actually see what's going on with your network. VLAN partitions are amazing. With Unifi I find I move between APs way better. With TP Link I found I was often stuck to an worse AP. I'd drop my wifi and reconnect regularily. I don't do that anymore.
craftsman_70Used Deco M9 would be the ideal solution as they have a dedicated wireless backhaul as well as two normal wifi channels giving you a WIFI 5 with a separate backhaul. Being a few years older, they are also cheap on the used market for what they can do.
enjoylife1788I have deco m9 plus and it has a dedicated 5 ghz for thr backhaul and therefore its called a tri band router. Even I am looking to add a couple more to the network as I am planning to shift one to another site. But I dont know which new ones have a dedicated back haul radio.
Extra_Tree_2077Another vote for the deco. I have 2 M9+. Working perfect. Fist bought 3, but 2 was more then enough.
Hairy-Ad-4018I use these. They are superb.
imoftendisgruntledSeconding TP-Link Deco. I've got a hybrid set up of M9 and M5 units (including one M5 in a detached garage) that's been rock solid for years.
