TP-LINK Deco M5 is a whole-home Wi-Fi solution that keeps your network strong regardless of your home’s size and structure. With the Deco system, you can create a fast and comprehensive network for your home or office. The system can connect 1-10 Deco M5 routers. It uses a single network name and seamlessly switches connections between access points. Expanding the network is easy with Deco routers.

TP-Link’s ART automatically selects the most direct route for all your home devices based on the location of the Deco units. You always have the best possible connection, wherever you are, all through a single SSID (network name). The 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz ART always sets your device to the correct frequency based on your device and its usage. With ART, you are free to move from room to room while streaming, gaming, downloading, and browsing — all with seamless Wi-Fi connectivity.

TP-Link HomeCare takes care of your network’s security and enables scheduling and management of connections. HomeCare includes built-in Trend Micro antivirus protection for three years.
