I bought a deco m5 and now all areas of my house got 100mbps

3

One in the living room upstairs, that's where the unifi router is.

Another one also upstairs, in the bedroom where the gaming PC is.

One in the loving room downstairs where the TV is for netflix/PS4. Enough for all rooms downstairs.

25 x 85

I did not. However you could buy the 2 in a pack and then buy 1 standalone later if it doesn't suit your expectation.


No I'm using the default unifi router.

Go to lazada or shopee and type tp link deco m5. I bought the 3 in 1 pack

You could use it as a router i think, but it only has two ethernet ports while the normal router has 4. I have some devices on the top floor still connected to the router via cable.

It's connected to the router via cable. I didnt consider disconnecting it before.

Yep.

You might want to check on reviews if the deco can be used as a router to confirm.

I initially got an M3 for my parents and thought that was decent, so I got one step higher which is the m5. That's the extent of my research.

HOWEVER consider that current devices and routers are offering wifi 6 / AX. If I had a package with 500 mbps or 1 Gbps, I would look into an ax router and the deco that supports ax so that I make full use of the wifi 6/ax that my devices have (Samsung S10, pc built last year, future PS5). Since I only have unifi offering 100mbps for RM140 then using the default router and deco that support wifi 5/ac is enough.
