Controlled by a 717MHz quad-core processor, the Deco M9 Plus can accommodate more than 100 simultaneous connections and dynamically streamlines the data flow. Like some of its mesh competitors, the Deco M9 Plus uses Qualcomm's IPQ 4019 Wi-Fi control chip that combines 512MB of RAM, 4GB of solid-state storage for firmware settings and updates. You get three years of protection with the Deco M9 Plus, but it lacks the device-level security software provided by Asus' Blue Cave and Norton Core.

Based on Trend Micro's threat database, it can prevent malware from entering the network, keep intruders out and quarantine any infected system. Like many other TP-Link devices, the Deco M9 Plus kit comes with HomeCare online security. There's also a recessed reset switch for returning the system to its factory software and settings. Along the back is a power port (sorry, no power switch), two gigabit-per-second Ethernet connections as well as a USB plug normally these ports are used for connecting printers or storage devices, but TP-Link says it's reserved for future use.
