      Mine very stable, must be some thing wrong with your device.

    • rendo on 11/07/2023 - 11:38

      i dont get any dropouts…..ever.

      Using it all day, every day, 5 person household, with many IOT gadgets.

      Always keep your firmware up to date!

      you might need to reposition your devices??

    • Whatisthatvelvet on 11/07/2023 - 11:45

      No issues with mine in the last 12 months since purchasing.

    • Shekster on 11/07/2023 - 11:54

      Not to be harsh but that sounds like that has something to do with something else on your end.

      This has consistently been reviewed as one of the best value mesh available even after all these years.

      Also have the same unit and get incredible coverage as well as am actually able to get the full speeds we pay for which ironically doesn't happen when you use the router that Telstra provides.

    WOW!! Bargain price, I am using this exact model, 3-pack, at my place…..pretty big place and it totally made the world of difference to wifi coverage, super happy with it.

  • bobloblawlobslawbomb on 11/07/2023 - 11:59

    I've been using 3x setup of these for the last 2+ years. They have been great. I am only using the Wifi portion with a separate router.

  • Mkak on 11/07/2023 - 12:11

    What speed are those using this getting at other nodes. Im looking to upgrade from Tenda mw5's

  • bargain6969 on 11/07/2023 - 12:17

    This or the eero 5?

  • newsanzang on 11/07/2023 - 12:29

    The Wifi connection and mesh experience highly depend on the floor plan and the location of the NBN box at home.
    I started with 3-pack M5 but then got additional two M9 (M9 devices have a dedicated Wifi channel for the connection between them) to resolve the connection/poor signal issue caused by the doors and walls between the living room and the NBN box.

    P.S I should have bought 3-pack M9 instead of 3-pack M5.

  • big bill broonzy on 11/07/2023 - 13:19

    Do these work with PPPoE?

    • AusRetro on 11/07/2023 - 13:47

      Yes, PPPoE works fine with these

    • Twix on 11/07/2023 - 13:49

      Deco is compatible with all ISPs and has Dynamic IP (IPoE), PPPoE and VLAN ID.

      • superforever on 11/07/2023 - 13:53

        Not for FTTN (DSL)

        • Twix on 11/07/2023 - 14:03
          +4

          Authentication protocols and nbn tech types are two different things.

          Deco M5 is compatible with FTTN if you put a VDSL2 modem in-front of it. In most cases the setup is;

          FTTN, FTTB = VDSL2 modem configured as a bridge + Deco M5 configured as a router.
          FTTN, FTTB = VDSL2 modem/router + Deco M5 configured as Wi-Fi access point(s).
          FTTC = nbn NCD + Deco M5.
          FTTP, HFC, fixed wireless = nbn NTD + Deco M5.

    Just FYI check your local bunnings.

    I had seen this sitting with the smart home stuff for about $150 for a few months. The other day it dropped to $75.

      Thanks for the advice. Just managed to snag the last box at my local Bunnings for $149 though I had to ask the staff member since they kept it in the stockroom at the back.

  • Dandaman21 on 11/07/2023 - 13:54

    No Wifi 6? Does that matter?

    One important thing to know/do, is ensure the network "flow" is in a logical order.

    I installed 3 of these originally along our house, and then added a fourth in between two due to slow speeds.

    This initially didn't fix anything, and it was only when I looked into the connectivity between them that I realized the fourth (which should have been second in the chain) was stupidly connecting to the "end" one out in my shed.

    Once I rearranged them logically (from memory had to reconnect one at a time in sequential order), speeds went through the roof

      Do these have to be set up in a chain? I have the nbn box in the middle of my house, so I want to connect Deco2 to Deco1 and Deco 3 to Deco1 (as Deco1 will be in the middle of the house plugged into the nbn box). Do I need to go Deco1 > Deco 2 > Deco 3?

      • Tuttle on 12/07/2023 - 01:54

        I’m almost certain you can setup like that.
        If nothing else is working, try setting up base, then first satellite, then disconnect power to that satellite, and repeat setup. Once all done, plug all the unplugged ones back in

  • busterbubble on 11/07/2023 - 18:34

    I have the 3 x M5 pack for about 2+ years and use the ethernet backhaul between the house an outlying cabin,works really well. You can hard set Wifi devices that are static (ie tv's,desktops) in the config. The mesh system works well, for the price its good value.

  • Berimbau on 12/07/2023 - 00:05

    I have a subfloor under a concrete slab in my home which gets very poor wifi coverage from current modem. If I grab one of these anyone know if I can connect one of the nodes with an ethernet cable instead of relying on the repeated wifi? As I'd like to run a cable into the subfloor and connect a node there to give the area coverage.

    And I also want to retain an ethernet cable to my gaming desktop in the main house.

    Would this be possible with Deco M5?

    • aveeno bb on 12/07/2023 - 09:16

      I have used this with ethernet over powerline, if that's what you are asking.

    • Duff5000 on 12/07/2023 - 21:20

      You can connect these via ethernet cable.

      I have the first one connected to a switch. Xbox, PC and the next node also connected to the switch. It didn't require any special configuration, it just works.

      In other words yes you can cable them and also keep the PC hardwired.
