Need to replace your existing network
Continuous data sharing with TPLink could present some risks
Longterm pricing for the security package is unclear

Available in three-packs only
No web interface

Flatout speed not up to par with highend routers

The M5 doesn't have a dedicated backhaul band

Has Some Advanced Features
But the List is Short
App-Only Interface
Not as many configuration options as a normal router
Will need to buy a switch if you need multiple Ethernet ports

Great parental controls, Three-year antivirus built in, Strong wireless coverage,
Slightly slow at close range, Pricier than BT Whole Home Wi-Fi
