Deco m9 using Ethernet backhaul
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
If I use Ethernet for the backhaul, will the router still utilize the 2nd 5ghz band for traffic?
Or will it essentially just waste that 2nd 5ghz band?
Just wonder if I should just get the deck m5 vs the m9 since I have ethernet in every room.

Theoretically, the wifi coverage area of Deco M9 plus is larger than Deco M5. you can read the overview information. (Note: The actual performance is still related to the actual network environment)

Meanwhile, Deco M9 plus is a smart hub, which can work with some smart home devices, while Deco M5 does not.
May it help. Good day.

The 5GHz-2 backhaul still exists and works; while the ethernet backhaul has higher priority, the performance and stability will be stronger than the wireless backhaul.
While it is still there to enhance the network connection.
Please be assured about it.

I went be using it as a hub at all. I'm on lutron switches.
So the 2nd 5ghz will still work at backhaul and not to serves clients?

The 5GHz-2 is used for backhaul only; it won't serve clients; while there is another 5GHz available for your devices.
May it help and have a nice day.

Thank you!
Do the single m9 have anymore significant range than the m5?
Example. 3 wired m5 vs 3 wired m9 in the same locations.
Thanks in advance.
