Hi guys,
 

Quick check, I find my Internet seems slow probably because I have too many devices connected to the deco.
 

If I get another deco, will that ease the congestion and improve the bandwidth quality?

Hi, How many devices are connected to Deco M5?

How much bandwidth did you get from the internet service provider?

Adding another Deco would improve your wireless coverage and internet stability, I don't think it would improve the bandwidth quality;

Thank you very much.

I have about 20 devices connected during peak hours (working from home, online classes, folks streaming movies). My bandwidth from ISP is 300mbps.

 

Will reducing congestion improve the stability?

Hi,  Deco M5(3 pack) is ok to handle 20 devices.

Did you find out network congestion via network optimization?

--if yes, you could have a look at this link:https://community.tp-link.com/en/home/forum/topic/264506

And reducing congestion would improve the stability;

Thank you very much.

Yes, I found that feature in the app. What's the max capacity the m5 can handle?

Hi, the max capacity of clients would be around 100 and 30 online clients would be much recommended to keep good stability and speed;
