This week Greg takes a deep look at the brand new Deco M4 mesh wifi system - a system that is budget by price but premium by features. Previously Greg recommended Google Wifi as the best budget mesh system but it looks like TP-Link is coming after Google's crown!

RIP Greg, you seemed like a super decent guy and everyone speaks very highly of you. Godspeed buddy.
It's true. He was an amazing person ❤️
Works great! Much better (strong signal no drops) than the powerline adapters I was using before
Thanks for a great review. Definitely considering this my ISP has a great deal. Greetings from the Netherlands
Very helpful video. So sorry to see he passed away RIP.
No way, its so fuckn weird watching a video by a guy you thought was alive then scrolling to the comments to see that he's dead. How'd he pass away?
Excellent review. Found the transfer times comparisons useful, as well as the multiple devices streaming. Saddened to hear about Greg’s passing. I only just found this channel
Thank you so much ♥️
R.i.p greg
so, so very sorry for your loss Melissa and your 4 children....so sad !!! RIP Greg !!!
Sorry for your loss. I did not know.
Thank you so much
Not first! 👍beard! I’m on AMPLIFI mesh
Amplifi is another great system! One of my favorite "prosumer" type systems
How did this young man pass away? RIP..but if you are listening..good video..
Hello,
Does this mean that one can plug in an ethernet cable sometimes in unit nr. 2, and then it runs on the cabled connection - whereas it runs on the mesh-connection to nr. 1 the rest of the time (ethernet unplugged in 2) without changes of settings?
Great review. Helped me make my mind up to get this system in the UK.
Awesome!
Great video. Which would you advise. The deco m4 or m5? I am torn which one to get!
i got the deco m4 3pk but did not set it up yet. I have a gateway from internet provider here in Canada it has 4 ports in the back do I disable the wifi on the modem/gateway and bridge the deco . Secondly the main pc is wired to the modem via one of the ports will bridging disable it . the pc is not wireless. One deco will be wired to modem the other two in various place in the home . I do not want to by another router , hoping I can find something that will work.
Can you add a 6 port switch on the third unit please?
so, found you by way of randomness.... you got a sub out of me. like your onscreen presence.
So does all 3 nodes have ethernet ports?
Still wondering
with the ports on the back of the AP’s can I plug in and get a hardline connection through them? Say PC in other room, not talking about the main one plugged into the modem.
Still haven’t really got a true answer about that.
Over all great review video helped a lot thanks
Thank you!
on this mesh systems, to be able to use the ethernet at it's best, you need to plug in ethernet from the modem or from the main router?
Not sure I completely understand your question but mesh systems are really wireless router replacements so it's always a good idea to plug then directly into the modem. Thanks for watching!
@@TechnicallySpeaking eh, the ethernet ports on each of the routers, if I'm correct one is in and one is out, right? I know they are routers and that the main router is the one with the modem, but if you were to use ethernet, you have to plug in a cable coming from the modem? or they simply have lesser speeds? Right now i have a modem router combo, but I use ethernet, so if I were to hook up this on my home, will I able able to use the ethernet with the same speed on each router?
Sorry if it's confusing but I really don't know how to word this out
If price wasn't an option would you recommend the M4 or the M5?
And does the M4 have a dedicated backbone channel?
They're both incredibly similar products. The M5 has slightly more total bandwidth capacity but that doesn't mean you'll get faster internet. Given how similar they are I'd save money and get the cheaper one. If you want a system with more features check out the M9+; it's a 2 piece, tri-band, AC2200 system with an amazing Trend Micro network security suite
@@TechnicallySpeaking Thanks for the quick response. The M5 is on sale for $155 today. Just wasn't sure if I would be missing something by waiting for the M4.
I might add m5 have quad antenna while m4 only got 2.
if yo have existing devices ring products, smart plugs etc....when integrating this would you simply name the network the same as existing etc to avoid any down time etc....i think you know where im going ...really considering going with a mesh network...
Plan on getting this, I do need to ask though, will the overall internet speeds go down if I have like 3 Decos connected to it? I like my fast internet and really do not want it to be compromised. Thanks in advance.
No. These aren’t repeaters so it doesn’t split the signal.
when is the Google wifi vs TP-link Deco M4 video?
Unfortunately, Greg recently passed away and I'm working on getting access to his files to see if I can edit then posthumously. :(
Hello Greg, If I buy 6 of these will I be able to have my speed 180mbits on almost all places in my house if I place them in the right spots ? I have a maximum of 200mbits BTW.
Hey Yentl, unfortunately Greg passed away 6 weeks ago (this is Scott) but I'll take a shot at answering this.
I wouldn't say you'd have that speed everywhere if you bought too many, actually, you could make it worse due to interference between having too many
Technically Speaking seriously, wow?
Well I have to cover only 2 floors BUT I have a long range because my house is kinda long and wide with two floors en then I have a big garden with in the garden a garage where I want to have wifi aswell so I would actually need atleast 4 devices to cover all the distance. Maybe I will buy netgears Orbi
Yentl Pauwels I bought 6 and they work perfect.
Did you tried yours ?
The audio is just low
can i use this as the router itself?,connection it to a fibre modem directly and as a mesh wifi?
No
Only if you put your isp router in bridge mode. Basically you turn it into a switch and let your deco handle the routing. Two routers is one network is a disaster. In my opinion configuring the decos as access points is the best option for must users.
Hey man I just came across your video looking for some input on the tplink Deco P9 system. I was curious if you had any experience with that type of mesh wifi. I'm in a basement mostly and the wifi signal from the main router on the first floor is weak. Extenders suck and I need something inexpensive but fast. Amazon has the 3 pc kit for $200 right now and I'm tempted to buy it. Thank you in advance. -Aaron from NY-
Absolutely. The TPLink stuff is good
Technically Speaking thank you....ordered!
Can it work with an unmanaged switch?
So I have a question concerning google WiFi installation: I have a modem and a router from century link, do I have to ditch the quest router to be able to use the google WiFi router? Or can I connect the mesh to the quest router and use both?
With Greg being gone, I'm going to attempt to answer this. you need the modem for sure, but you don't the router from century Link. You can connect the modem to the new M4 system and boom, there you go.
Technically Speaking epic thankyou
he died? seemed like a cool dude. what happened?
He was a great guy. The best.
Is it ac1200 each or total 1200mbps?
The entire system is AC1200 which roughly translates to 1200Mbps. This includes the bandwidth from both 2.4Ghz (300ish Mbps) and 5Ghz (900ish Mbps). Keep in mind that is the total bandwidth available to serve all wireless clients and individual devices will see something like 70-200mbps depending on a bunch of factors
Payed 190$ aud for this two pack
Is good for xbox and can connect to 5GHZ on xbox ? Please answer fast...
Can this be setup and used without internet?
Setup, yes. Use? *Technically* I suppose you could but without the internet there really isn't a point. This product isn't a hotspot (ie, it doesn't generate it's own internet connection)
@@TechnicallySpeaking I'm thinking of home entertainment specifically a Yamaha receiver that has an Ethernet port but missing a remote control, I can install the Yamaha remote app and run the receiver through that. I am only able to afford phone with data plan at this time.
Also mesh network would be a good way for small rural areas that have no internet available to them kind of like intranet, just a thought.
What differences are their in parental controls between the m4 and m5?
Can I plug my playstation into the port on it
Should be able to
