Any idea where can get custom made or third party ceiling mount for Deco M4 or M5?

Thank you.

Hi Sifu,

I have 2 units of Deco M5, the main unit at second floor, and slave unit at first floor living room. I can't find the "feng shui" place for the slave unit to get optimum connection despite change different location.

Given that M5 do not have dedicated wireless backhaul. Do M9 and X60 can solve the weak signal between units? Ethernet backhaul is not an option because there is no cable between floors.

I do not sure how the beam forming work, but technically the slave is not far from the master unit, and most probably block by 1 wall/floor only.

No, it's not. The master unit on table, and the slave unit on tv cabinet. Although no direct line of sight, I just don't get it why the mesh signal so low.

So I wonder if a mesh with wireless dedicated backhaul can improve it. And any way to find out speed between mesh unit?

I am subscribing to UniFi 300Mbps.

This is the average 3 speedtest to Internet via slave deco WiFi.

I can get decent speed when connect to Master Deco. But my speed limit to 130Mbps when connect to Slave Deco. Other than relocating M5 deco location, do TP-Link model (eg: M9 and X60) with dedicated wireless backhaul help to get better speed?
If it won't help, then I can only try to find the "feng shui" spot for both Deco.

So the current Deco that has dedicated backhaul is M9?

A Deco M4 work as a standalone unit. But do your family member stay next door? If not I suggest you get normal wireless router instead of Deco Mesh system.

But what is your plan to give them a unit of Deco? You need at least a pair to get the Mesh service. A single unit just don't extend the wireless coverage.

If you can't get a good signal at second floor, the best way is to use a pair of Deco.

Anyone have problem with TP-Link that have problem to access to Internet until reboot the router/deco mesh WiFi today?

Both my friend and I can connect to the WiFi, but can't ping the gateway until reboot the router. LAN got no problem though. And we are not in the same house.

It's not Internet problem. It's WiFi problem. Devices connected to WiFi, obtained IP via DHCP, but cannot ping the default gateway until restart my Deco. Similar to my friend, he had to restart his Archer C1200. Both happened this morning.

Hi, I am using 3 units of Deco M5, and would like to replace the main node with X50 and relocated the existing M5 to another floor. Any cons if I mixed the model?

OK, thank you for the clarification.

Actually I am asking on behalf of my friend. He doesn't really care much on features. As long as decent wifi coverage for whole house, and able to connect to the 2 PC via LAN cable. Thus, I think X50 is the suitable model to expand current network.
