This mesh unit is great, covers our whole house.
However Security Encryption is POOR
In a environment where everyone in our development is on WiFi, I don't want them in OUR WiFi
It does NOT support WPA AES encryption only the weaker TKIP which is broken.
It does NOT support WP3 which is a 2020 standard.
As for Support another flaw is you CANNOT select the 2.4 or 5 GHz channels.
The Deco picks and if it picks poorly and there is interference from neighbors it CANNOT be changed.
Support has known about this AND THE AES issue since 2019 and has done NOTHING.
The answer for Every Engineering issue is "We will pass the information along"
As a router it CANNOT be configured locally or through a Web interface only with an IOS app.
The latest Apple updates (iOS 14) and MacOS will now flags this product as having Weak Security
The whole DECO line regardless of model is an orphan product.
If your looking for coverage it's great
Product security and support look elsewhere.
I am able to select between 2.4ghz and 5ghz by using the work around of the guest network, and it works fine for me, just put a password to the guest network and restrict it to 2.4gh.
I use WPA2, which is fine enough for me. Which system supports WBA3 for this price?
I have 55 devices in my household, including tons of Apple devices and none of them flag it as a Weak Security point.

The main differences between the TP-Link Whole Home Mesh Wi-Fi Systems is that the newer Deco S4 is more compact in size in addition to adding support CE transmit power.
Otherwise, the S4 and M4 are identical in specs and features
