It Takes a Wi-Fi System for Complete Coverage
Average routers are designed to send Wi-Fi in all directions but don't always reach every room. Range extenders improve coverage but create multiple networks for you to navigate.
Deco M5 uses several units working together to replace your router and create seamless Wi-Fi in every room. Each Deco mesh router can work independently to cover up to 1,500 sq. ft. and three units working together deliver up to 4,500 sq. ft. of fast Wi-Fi. For even more coverage, you can use up to 10 Deco units on a single network.
Small Home 1 Unit - 1,500 square feet Medium Home 2 Units - 3,000 square feet
Large Home 3 Units - 4,500 square feet
