Now $120 off, the TP-Link Deco M5 blankets your home with high-speed Wi-Fi

By Lucas Coll Updated October 5, 2021

TP-Link Deco M5 Wi-Fi system

Mesh Wi-Fi systems are quickly replacing traditional routers when it comes to setting up simple home wireless networks. The advantages of mesh Wi-Fi systems are twofold: They’re dead simple to set up and operate, and the multiple nodes that mesh networks use deliver much wider coverage than typical wireless routers.

Nonetheless, wireless mesh routers can be quite expensive, but the excellent TP-Link Deco M5 Wi-Fi system is a top-rated and highly affordable alternative that would be a welcome addition to any home. The Deco M5 utilizes high-speed, dual-band AC1300 Wi-Fi for a combined throughput of up to 1,267 Mbps, providing 400 Mbps on the 2.4GHz band for light tasks such as browsing and 867 Mbps on the 5.0GHz band for heavier jobs like video streaming or online gaming.

The Deco M5 package comes with three nodes, eliminating the need for range extenders that can compromise the security of your home Wi-Fi network and create dead zones if your TP-Link Deco M5 Wi-Fi system network is struggling to cover a bigger space. These nodes each deliver a wireless coverage of 1,500 square feet for a combined Wi-Fi “blanket” of 4,500 square feet, making the TP-Link Deco M5 system an ideal solution for medium to large homes or offices.

Mesh systems are known for their ease of use and the TP-Link Deco M5 is no exception — you can set up and activate your home network in minutes with the companion Deco mobile app. This app also makes it simple to remotely manage and monitor your network from the convenience of a tablet or phone — no fussing around with complicated and confusing PC interfaces. Built-in TP-Link HomeCare actively monitors and protects your network against security threats as well.

The TP-Link Deco M5 Wi-Fi system typically costs $300 but is currently on sale from Amazon for $250. However, a limited-time promo code lets you take another $50 off, bringing the price down to just $200 for a total savings of $120. Simply add the item to your Amazon cart and enter the code 50RADIO at checkout to receive the extra discount.

If you've been waiting for a discount on the GoPro Hero 11 Black, check this out -- the action camera is down to $400 from Best Buy, for savings of $100 on its original price of $500. GoPro is still the most trusted name in the action camera space, so we expect this offer to attract a lot of attention and possibly sell out quickly. If you want to get the device for cheaper than usual, you're going to have to proceed with the purchase as soon as you can.

Why you should buy the GoPro Hero 11 Black
The GoPro Hero 11 Black looks very similar to the GoPro Hero 10 Black, which is a pro-consumer move because that means you can keep using accessories from the older model when you upgrade. All of the improvements are under the hood though, including a larger sensor that will let you shoot horizontal and vertical footage at the same time without having to choose between the two formats. The GoPro Hero 11 Black can shoot 5.3K video at up to 60 frames per second, 4K at up to 120 frames per second, and 2.7K at up to 240 frames per second for super slow-motion.
