TP-Link Adds Deco M9 Plus Tri-band Mesh Wi-Fi 2-Pack System
Mesh is the trendy topic for WIFI lately, TP-Link today announced availability of the Deco M9 Plus Tri-band Mesh Wi-Fi 2-Pack System, the newest addition to the brand's lineup of mesh solutions. TP-Link's Deco M9 Plus features AC2200 speeds and tri-band Wi-Fi.
The Deco M9 Plus Mesh Wi-Fi System utilizes TP-Link Mesh technology to eliminate dead spots and buffering black holes in homes of all shapes and sizes. With TP-Link Mesh, Deco M9 Plus provides a stronger and more dynamic backhaul than others, supplementing its dedicated 5 GHz backhaul with additional backhaul throughput from other Wi-Fi bands as demand on the network increases. From 4K video streaming or video chatting, to gaming and web surfing, Deco M9 Plus automatically identifies the strongest path and connection for every device to ensure uninterrupted Wi-Fi in every corner of your home - even the backyard.
More than just a router, Deco M9 Plus also functions as a smart home hub, enabling simple control of your favorite ZigBee, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi enabled smart home devices from the easy to use Deco App. The built-in smart home hub functionality eliminates the need for additional smart hubs in the home. The system works with a variety of leading smart home brands and is also compatible with Amazon Alexa and IFTTT.
With advanced Wi-Fi security and HomeCareTM powered by Trend MicroTM*, Deco M9 Plus is one of the most secure tri-band Wi-Fi systems on the market. TP-Link HomeCare provides antivirus and malware protection, safeguarding every connected device on the network from outside malware and hackers, even devices that don't offer built-in protection such as smart cameras, Wi-Fi based smart home devices and gaming consoles. Malicious site blocking takes the extra step of preventing users from accessing malicious websites from within the network. The system is kept current though updates via Trend Micro, ensuring your network is always protected from new threats.
The Deco M9 Plus Wi-Fi System 2-pack provides seamless, high-performance Wi-Fi for homes up to 4,500 sq. ft. and is also sold as a 1-pack for families looking to easily add on to their mesh network. Setup and management of the Deco M9 Plus network is simple and intuitive via the Deco App, as is the ability to limit and monitor internet usage for the whole family. The intelligent, adaptive network requires only a single name and password making it easy to get connected and maintain a reliable connection as you move throughout the home. The Deco App is available for Android and iOS.

^ When I look at that small coverage, limited speed and price. It is huge sacrifice just to get modern living room friendly device.
Especially since you can place router behind or into furniture/wall or room where its looks are of no importance.
I have all networking and network storage inside of desk.
