In the market for wireless mesh systems, the Wi-Fi 6 standard is beginning to carve out an increasingly large share. TP-Link however intends to prove that the old guard has lost none of its interest, with a Deco M9 Plus kit that has everything to please.
While the Orbi range has built its reputation (rightly) on very high level performance, the Deco M9 Plus kit from TP Link intends to play a more versatile score. Admittedly, the performance of this mesh system is below the latest Wi-Fi 6 products, but it remains at a very good level. And at the same time, TP-Link offers many features and a three-module configuration, which will ensure excellent day-to-day comfort and solid network coverage.
Points forts
- Easy installation and configuration
- Excellent network coverage
- Very good speeds
- Parental controls and antivirus suite included
- Efficient and complete administration interface
Weak points
- A functional USB port or a 3rd RJ45 port would have been a plus
- No advanced settings for the web interface
NB: The reported price drop is calculated by comparing the lowest price of the day with the average price observed for the product last month, with security rules to exclude prices from shops whose VAT policy does not is not clear (say “grey” shops, typically in the case of imports from China).
An alternative
The Netgear Orbi RBK352 kit provides a mesh wifi 6 network with excellent coverage and satisfactory speeds. Its all-purpose design allows it to blend easily into your interior. We would have liked more settings for advanced users and a more relevant translation.
