    I have an Eir router in bridge mode. Connected to it I have a tplink router. I connected one deco m5 unit by ethernet cable to the to the tplink and then the other decos around the house . All seems to be working well.
    Do I need to turn off the wireless function of the tplink or do I just leave it as is.. Another option seems to rename the Deco Mesh exactually same as Deco Mesh . Thanks

    I'd of thought that you replace the TPLink with one of the Deco units completely.

    No, there shouldn't be any change to the speed by having it in bridge mode. The M5 app on your phone has a speed test on it, you can confirm you're getting close to your advertised speed with that. I'm on the other side of a concrete wall, and I'm getting 200 Mbps wireless.
