While its security software and an easy installation app distinguish the Deco M9 Plus from the mesh networking crowd, its otherwise midrange performance is marred by sometimes erratic behavior.

TP-Link Deco M9 Plus is a promising product that delivers plenty of performance for your entire home. It has modern hardware and a dedicated WiFi backhaul that can handle many WiFi network clients at once. It also offers something that you do not often see in the market of mesh WiFi systems: integration with smart home devices from other brands, not only those created by TP-Link. While here are a few quirks and small issues that need to be ironed out in future firmware updates, TP-Link Deco M9 Plus is a top performing mesh WiFi system, that is a good choice for people that are interested in creating a speedy wireless network, in their whole home.
