I am upgrading my internet plan to 500MBPS.

TM will be giving 2-pack TP-Link Deco M4. Based on what I checked, M4 can support up to 300MBPS.

I want to utilize 500MBPS speed. Since I am in a 3-storey bungalow, 2-pack deco is not enough. Which model that I should purchase to have 500MBPS? I plan to buy another 1-pack or 2-pack.

I've narrowed down to the following few:
1) TP-Link Deco M9 Plus
2) TP-Link Deco X20

If i dont purchase the above 2 models, i will not be maximizing the speed that i subscribe right?

In router mode, M4/M5 both can handle 500mbps, but unable to handle 800mbps

In Wi-Fi, both can reach around 500mbps+, but only getting nearly half of the speed if wireless backhaul is using.

In WAN to LAN speed, M4 can reach 700mbps+- while M5 can only handle 550mbps+-, be aware that LAN to LAN is also limited to that speed, I think it’s due to TP-Link doesn’t use hardware acceleration to offload traffic, maybe they need it to be disable for traffic calculation.

M4 is actually faster in both WAN, LAN and Wi-Fi speed, M5 offer better function such as QoS and so.

TP-Link M4 Box Sticker is 500Mbps

i test it personally, it be able to run 500Mbps no problem CPU wise, but 800Mbps unstable.

Deco M4 wired 500Mbps no problem. Probably 800Mbps also can.

Here are some speed tests for M4 and M9.

It is also listed in their website...dont know why is it M4 instead of M9 Plus

Since I will be given a set of TP-Link Deco M4, do I need Tp-Link network switch to make it work?

I have an existing D-Link 16 port network switch. Will it work?
I referred to this link by TP-Link:
https://www.tp-link.com/my/support/faq/1794/

It mentioned that D-Link network switch is not compatible with TP-Link. Does anyone have any comment on this?

i've purchased a new TP-Link Gigabit switch for that. Thanks a lot everyone.

Now is down to the Tp-Link Deco model..as some of you mentioned that M4 is proven to support up to 500MBPS, does it worth paying extra for X20 or M9 Plus??

Also, between M4 and M5, which is better?
