Hi guys

Helping out a friend with for a cheap/decent mesh wifi solution.

Having been thinking about buying the TP-Link Deco E4 2 pack.

The only difference between the E4 and M4 version is that Lan port being 10/100 and gigabit respectively.

Is there any real limitations in using the 10/100 port on the E4 model? Assuming I have a max down speed of 100 Mbps from my ISP.

Can this 10/100 somehow slow down other devices on the network?

As for WiFi speeds, it seems they are the same for both models.

  Slower local file transfers over the network.

  Nah the RAM and CPU is the same in the E4 and M4.
