    This or eero?

    • eegos on 09/11/2022 - 21:34

      I read eero pro 6 is really good mesh system but comes with price as well.

    How do you register for an account?

    • pOint01 on 09/11/2022 - 23:22

      I think you have to call them to set one up.

        Nah you don't. Just follow the instructions in this thread. I got my commercial access just approved today.

        • smurfy on 10/11/2022 - 11:16

          Ok thanks. I used the steps and now waiting for approval to come through. :)

      Bought the M5 before earlier today. Should’ve gone with S7 based on this.

      • scrimshaw on 09/11/2022 - 22:43

        Can always cancel order, if you bought via Amazon.

    • pOint01 on 09/11/2022 - 22:53

      Can we even reach 400 Mbps in Australia yet?

      Also need to consider the design/size difference between these models.

      • scrimshaw on 09/11/2022 - 22:59

        yeah, I can technically get 1000/50 (ABB) where I currently live, but I'm not sure I need that much bandwidth to work from home.

      • Keplaffintech on 13/11/2022 - 13:41

        yes, I am running on 1000/50 after getting the free upgrade to FTTP. Now my WiFi is the limiting factor when downloading things on portable devices.

    • eggboi on 09/11/2022 - 23:11

      Good comparison. Also worth noting with the M5, you can't direct devices to specifically select the 5ghz or 2.4ghz networks. Basically never had an issue with this except for some IoT things which can be finicky. There is a workaround, which is to temporarily disable one network band, and I'm not sure if the other Deco models are richer on features.

      Besides that, I've been using the M5 for 4 years now and have only had to "reboot the router" on one occasion, which is amazing. Every other wifi setup I've had to reboot at least a few times a month, if not more.

      • saikor on 09/11/2022 - 23:16

        You can now select a preferred band on a per device basis. Ironically, I believe only the m5 has the updated firmware to support this.

        • eggboi on 09/11/2022 - 23:17

          Oh wow, thanks. I should update my firmware then.

        • eggboi on 09/11/2022 - 23:28
          +1

          Hmm looks like you still can't manually select the wifi channel? That was another issue that was annoyingly missing in the M5. Some older IoT stuff only operates on Ch1-11, and the deco seems to love sitting on Ch 13 with no way to force it to another channel. Very niche issue, but yeah…

          • CVonC on 09/11/2022 - 23:30

            @eggboi:

            with no way to force it to another channel.

            Seriously?? I hope that's not the case for the x68. Need to be able to change the 2.4GHz channel!

            • eggboi on 09/11/2022 - 23:35

              @CVonC: I guess if that's your only misgiving, you could buy and play around with it, then refund it if it won't work properly. Very clear cut reason for return as they don't specify any limitations that may be dealbreakers for some people. Hopefully they have added that feature to newer models. Very good and reliable other than the reduced features.

    • Lummii on 09/11/2022 - 23:16

      Are these wireless speeds? So if im on 1000/40 I can reach 1000mbps over wifi with the S7?

      • saikor on 10/11/2022 - 11:47

        Only if you had a receiver capable of 3x3 802.11ac which I believe there are very few of. MacBook Pro I think might be the only one.

        You’ll need wifi 6 or wait for wifi 7 to really achieve gigabit over wireless. Again, it depends on your receiving device. Most can only do 2x2 and 80mhz channel width limiting you to ~800mbit.

  • hibijibis on 09/11/2022 - 23:49

    If I have an M5 can I add on an S7?

    • McFly on 09/11/2022 - 23:55

      All Decos address compatible with each other.

      • McFly on 10/11/2022 - 11:39

        *are compatible

  • findthatbargain on 10/11/2022 - 13:18

    FYI, HomeCare or HomeShield is not supported on this model

  • Kooratz on 16/11/2022 - 13:52
