Worth keeping tabs on or even setting up an alert, as the bargains tend to go very quickly...

After another firmware update saw no improvements to reliability on my Whole Home wifi, I am returning it and replacing it with a TP-Link Deco set.

The TP stuff is getting very good reviews currently, their latest wired PoE WAP's are worth looking at (for those who want the bandwidth benefits of CAT wired.)

They released the new Deco M9 about a week ago (https://www.androidpolice.com/2018/06/1 ... -home-hub/). I don't know when UK availability is but for anyone thinking of going the TP-Link route it might be worth at least checking availability date and whether any of the new features are sufficiently enticing to you to wait (and I presume pay a premium over the current range). I'm not in any urgent hurry to buy yet so I'm only half watching the market & don't really know what's what. Getting into home automation at the moment though so for me maybe the added Zigbee functionality might be interesting.

I have travel routers from TP-Link and like them a lot. In my limited experience a good company.

I compare the tp-link AC2200 Smart Home Mesh Wi-Fi System, Deco M9 Plus with the AC1300 Deco M5 to see what kind of improvements we get from the upgrade.

There is some interesting discussion on different approaches to wifi and mesh systems at ArsTechnica.

The Plume system sounds god, but doesn't appear to be available in the UK.
