Still, there is no substitute for raw performance when it comes to your network and the power and small size of the Deco M5 make it easy to recommend. That being said, the brave appearance of the Deco M4 fits its art deco inspired name with great vertical lines and an ornate vent pattern on top that beautifully blends function with design excess. The Deco M4 requires a lot more vertical space. The Deco M5 has a much smaller space requirement and can be worked into nearly any area, making it easy to place it in the most optimal spot. When it comes down to it, the biggest difference between the Deco M5 and the Deco M4 is the design.
These routers can also be set up with an app available on Google's Play Store or Apple's App Store. One port will be used for the connection to the modem on the primary unit. Both products feature two Ethernet ports so you can connect additional wired devices to your network. IEEE 802.11 ac/n/a 5 GHz, IEEE 802.11 b/g/n 2.4 GHzĪll Deco products can work together as part of the same mesh, so if you already have one of these products you can make your decision on which one to get without worrying about compatibility. You can even add guests and all their devices without a severe impact on performance. With many people carrying two or more Wi-Fi devices all the time, such as a smartphone and smartwatch, MU-MIMO keeps these devices running normally. This technology helps keep speeds consistent and buffering to a minimum if you have a lot of devices connected. This includes the original PS4, which will be held back at 300 Mbps.īoth the Deco M5 and M4 support MU-MIMO, which stands for multi-user, multiple-input, multiple-output. While the majority of new devices with Wi-Fi support 5Ghz, there are a lot of older devices that only support 802.11n, recently renamed Wi-Fi 4, on the 2.4Ghz band. However, the Deco M5 pulls ahead with 2.4Ghz speeds at 400 Mbps versus the Deco M4's 300 Mbps. They can both push speeds of 867 Mbps at 5Ghz. To be fair, both of these products are very similar in the speed they will deliver to your Wi-Fi devices. Overall, the size and speed advantage make the Deco M5 the better device for your mesh.
The Deco M5 also boasts slightly beefier specs, including 2.4Ghz speeds at 400 Mbps speeds, which is 100 more than the M4. The hockey puck design of the M5, however, makes it much easier to conceal at the back of a shelf or even mounted on the wall like a smoke detector. In many ways, it's a more interesting product to look at and will likely be more visually cohesive with the decorations you already have in your home.
