Have been using this for a few months; router in the basement, one node on each floor, able to reach almost full speed on the 2nd floor with up to 4 laptops.JoshCollins wrote: ↑ Does anyone know how it is compared to this one?

The m9 is Triband which is very useful if you can't do weird back haul.JoshCollins wrote: ↑ Does anyone know how it is compared to this one?

yeah i picked this mainly due to the triband factor. Also the parental control etc. for free is always a plus.

I have the M5 as well, but Why would you want to use the it in AP mode only?darkstar107 wrote: ↑ I have the M5 and coverage is good. But I have it in AP mode and it has a stupid "smart DHCP" feature where it will enable DHCP if it detects that it lost connection to the DHCP server. So if I reboot my router, the Deco turns on DHCP. Its supposed to disable it once it detects another DHCP server again but I haven't had that happen yet. Every time I reboot my router, I need to unplug the decos, wait for the router to boot up again, then plug in the Decos. It's a huge pain and I'm considering replacing the system because of it. Not sure if other Deco models have this "feature" but something to look into if you're going to be running it in AP mode.
ah ok make sense, but you can still use the M5 as a DHCP server can you?darkstar107 wrote: ↑ Because I have a router that is far more configurable than what the deco offers.
