The TP-Link Deco M4 AC1200 Whole Home Mesh Wi-Fi System is designed to provide seamless and reliable internet coverage throughout your home. Available in 1, 2, or 3-pack options, the Deco M4 utilizes Wi-Fi 5 technology to deliver speeds up to 867 Mbps on the 5 GHz band and 300 Mbps on the 2.4 GHz band. Ideal for 3 to 5-bedroom homes, this system ensures strong connectivity with its advanced mesh technology and internal antennas that enhance signal coverage.

With TP-Link Mesh Technology, the Deco units work together to create a unified network, eliminating dead zones and providing consistent coverage. Optional Ethernet backhaul further optimizes the network, and the dual-band design helps distribute devices efficiently across both frequency bands. Features such as beamforming and MU-MIMO ensure that the Wi-Fi signal is directed towards devices for improved performance.
