Model: Deco M4  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

Hi,

 

On Tuesday I take delivery of the M4 unit with three notes (one plugged into the router). But where can I buy an additional node to expand to four or five? I live in Berkshire.


Many thanks!

Can't help you with finding where to buy additional TP Link nodes, you can start with looking for online retailers of your choice that deliver to your area, but you have more options than just Deco M4 to expand your network, and here they are.

 

Deco M4 or S4 - if you can't find Deco M4 at online retailer of your choice, see if they carry Deco S4. It is the same hardware, different name.

 

Deco M5  - if you'll need just single additional Deco node, TP-Link sells M5 as single add-on units. They are usually a bit more expensive than single M4, but if you can't find single M4 or S4 unit to buy, you can add M5 to your Deco M4 mesh just fine, they are of similar specs.

 

Deco E4  - this is the most budget friendly Deco hardware. It has 100Mbps network ports. You may find good deal on those nowadays. They are compatible with your M4 Deco, having same WiFi specs. As long as your ISP connection is less than 100Mbps and will be in the future or you plan to add new Deco nodes connected wirelessly to the rest of your mesh (not by Ethernet cable) you may consider adding them for expansion. 

 

 

If you want deeper dive into different TP-Link Deco hardware models specifications, this FAQ article should help: What are the differences between different models of Deco?
