TP-Link - Deco BE25

riprendo questo thread ....sperando che qualcuno mi aiuti a fare luce .....oppure a decidere se buttare o restituire i BE25.. scusate se non sono precisissimo nei termini ma non sono proprio un esperto. premessa: ho una connessione WindTre ini fibra che al router viaggia attorno ad 1G. ho collegato un deco tramite cavo ethernet in dotazione da tp-link all'hub Windtre (Zyxel EX5601) e se collego un portatile alla porta ethernet del DECO ho la stessa velocità che ottengo a collegare il portatile direttamente sul router (circa 900M)... in wifi collegato alla rete del DECO ....a 1metro dal deco ottengo con lo stesso PC al massino 250/330M) con un cellulare samsung s22 una velocità attorno ai 500M.... è possibile che ci sia una riduzione cosi drastica? c'è un modo per imgliorare? con questa situazione ....aggiungendo un deco in una stanza con due pareti in mezzo ....arrivo a 80M di velocità...mi sembra poco....tenendo conto che con un extenderee (semmpre tp-link) da 20 euro collegato sulla rete del router ottengo praticamente la stessa velocità.... Grazie a chi avrà la pazienza di spiegarmi /aiutarmi

I've always had Asus routers with my recent being the AXE 16000. As a result it seemed logical for me if I wanted a mesh system to go the AImesh route. I purchased an extra couple of ASUS routers and to be honest found the speeds to be disappointing and found that the extra routers were often disconnecting. As a result I moved to a TP link Deco system and have been incredibly impressed particularly with maintaining my internets full gigabit speeds between nodes. I know some people go on about how managing the system is app only but personally I actually find that more convenient, but then maybe I don't tinker enough with the system to require more access than that, apart from changing a few DNS settings.

I use deco with Ethernet backbone and it's great. Set it up years ago and never had a problem

Banyak yg komplain ini, mending tplink deco kl dari review2, akhirnya gw dirumah pake deco walaupun cuma sebiji (ga mesh jadinya) blm ada kendala. Sebelumnya pake tenda, banyakan errornya daripada ngganya. Saran buat op cari yg udah 5Ghz, karena channel di 2.4 banyak tabrakannya, apalagi di permukiman padat (komplek perumahan termasuk).

I have one of their combined routers and modems. I still run 3 decos across the house broadcasting is own signal. No issues.

TP Link Deco Mesh are great. Rarely stop working and can be monitored with the app. In the farthest corner of a new extension room, signal boosted significantly.

Deco's are a great product. Ideally you could ethernet backhaul your wifi somehow. I highly recommend trying to make that happen if you can.

\+1 for deco, I have 3 of them at home (one on each floor) and it works great!

this needs so many more upvotes! I have having a nightmare with my networked PC's, some plugged into the ISP router and some on the wifi. They weren't showing up under worked PC's in windows and once i switched the Deco's to AccessPt Mode... everything fixed. I can connect to either the Deco AP mesh, or directly to the ISP router and all pc's can now see each other! Finally a good explanation on the matter :)

Initially, I had an issue where DNS resolution was failing on only some web sites, so they were just not loading and if TM reset things on their end, it seemed to work for a day or two but problem returned. Long story, short... factory reset on their end Deco fixed the problem. I think the AI didn't like me changing to TM. No problems since.

7,299 right now on Amazon for 3 unit TP link deco.

We had an older Google WiFi system we just replaced with a Deco system. Night and day difference in terms of reliability.

It works pretty well. I think bridge or pass through mode is a better way. But if you can't change the settings, then this way works

From a cost/quality/ease of setup TP Link Deco's are definitely in the running. I have 3 in a 2600 sq/ft 1 floor house with no problems. Granted mine are all hardwired in AP mode but I imagine they would still work well in mesh.

Thank you for the information. Since the XE75 is not available in India, I have chosen the BE25 instead of x60.

TPLink Deco Mesh user here with no issues.

Skip extenders and go mesh Error, Deco or nest will cover all 3 floors reliable. Keep the motorola as modem turn off it's WiFi and let the mesh handle everything.

If you will wire the nodes then TP Link BE25 is your friend.

Re-iterating what others have stated. They work great when you hardware each unit. I am not a fan of wireless backhaul. In theory it should work, but in reality I find them lacking. I have recently done a Deco install and an Eero install, hardwiring all units for both. It is sometimes cheaper to do it this way than buying APs to wire in. Just remember to have the "Main" mesh unit first in the chain. I usually go Internet Modem -> First Mesh Unit -> switch -> satellites.

I had the same issue. To resolve is to connect to the same node your PS5 is connected to. I had to force the connection via the TP-Link Deco app to ensure the portal connected to the correct node. If you want to roam the whole house you will need to hardwire the nodes together with Ethernet.

I have an e7 and another wifi7 AP that I don't care to remember its name, and I went back to using my old orbi mesh system. It was nothing but headaches with the ubiquity WiFi. If I were you I'd try a decent Deco mesh system. Ive set a few of those up at clients and they are very nice and super long range. If it don't work good you can always return it :)

Eero (Amazon), tp link Deco, and Asus ZenWifi are all well-reviewed and perform well. If you've got to go mesh, look for a tri-band system with a dedicated backhaul channel (Eero, Deco, and ZenWifi all have models). Eero and Deco are a little more "plug and play". ZenWifi is also easy to set up, and some models give a few more config options/control than Eero or deco. The tricky part is that you don't know how well mesh will perform until you set it up in your place. Two nodes might be enough, but you might need three (or four). A 6 ghz backhaul channel might work, but, if the walls and floors in your place cause a lot of interference, you might see better perf with a 5 ghz backhaul. So buy from a place you can return it, maybe start with three nodes, test how coverage and speeds look, go from there. All three have 2.5 Gbps ports. 3 gig is a *lot* of bandwidth for a residential setup. Unless you're regularly downloading gigantic files (video, game updates), you probably won't exceed ~300-500 Mbps, and WiFi will de facto limit the perf on any device to ~200-600 Mbps. For most homes, 200 Mbps is plenty. If the 3 gig price isn't much different than ~300 Mbps (if you're in the US, it's hard to find service under ~300 Mbps), go for it, but if you're paying a premium for 3 gig, you can save some coin and you almost certainly won't notice a difference in performance. If you're in Europe, you rule!, fiber away because you're prob only paying like €40 for 3 gig.

I have BE65 (primarily for wired backhaul ports) as my main unit and a few BE25 (all with wired backhaul) as satellites. I don't see any difference in performance for my use.

if you want speed, you definitely need deco in each room. if you just want coverage, whatever I guess. get the one you can afford, just make sure that the deco your buying is gigabit capable, at least the main deco that is going to connect to your ISP provided CPE ONT, tapos you can go cheap with the satelite/slave devices to widen the coverage.

Deco works really well with extending range. Actually better than a range extender, as Mesh systems are designed from the ground up to work with each other in the system. I had a Ge800 tied to a be550 and a WiFi 7 range extender. Super good stuff right? But it's half ass "patched up" jerky jerky mesh was no match to a Deco. Deco was snappier, more reliable, and longer range.

I have tp link Delco each has ethernet back haul works great.

Both should work, no issues at all. Etisalat tech lied to you. All their hardware is bargain bin stuff. You can get Deco or get multiple tp link routers with Easy mesh ethernet backhaul - the latter is cheaper and what I'm using these days.

The main Deco must be wired to its source of Internet. I would return the Archer, indeed, and build a mesh only with deco units.

Mesh will have a potentially hard time with the concrete, wifi simply doesn't penetrate - so mesh will be problematic - placement would be key, the satellites need to have a good signal from the base to work well. You might get away with it by placing them near doorways etc. Many people use ethernet along the base of the walls, over doorway frames etc. and wire access points. Mesh systems do have the advantage of a central controller for the access points, so if you can wire them, your wifi experience would be a lot better. I am not a fan of Netgear, TP-Link Deco is popular in this sub, as is Eero (but there's the fact that it's Amazon and has a semi-subscription model. If you want to be a little more spendy, Ubiquiti UniFi has a great interface and good quality that should last. The UniFi Express models have a built in AP and can be meshed. The Cloud Gateway Ultras would be ideal with multiple access points placed around. (I am a UniFi fan) Asus is also mostly well thought of. I think the TP-Link Deco line would be the most affordable choice.

I've had great luck with TP-Link Deco systems

I use a deco. I had disconnection problems when I was using the fast band and I saw someone recommended that Google home prioritize consistency over speed and that I should switch over to 2.4hz. I did that and my Google home has never had a disconnect since.

I currently have a wireless backhaul setup, and before adding the BE25 in the low-connectivity area, I was getting around 50 Mbps. However, after installing the BE25, my speeds have improved significantly, reaching over 120 Mbps. So far, I haven't encountered any connectivity issues, and everything is running smoothly. My overall internet plan provides 300 Mbps, so to maximize performance and ensure stable speeds across my network, I am now planning to switch to a wired backhaul by connecting all the Deco units via Ethernet. Additionally, the system allows me to set up separate networks for guests and IoT devices, which is highly useful for security and managing network traffic. Also With a single unified network, I can seamlessly roam anywhere in the house without losing connectivity.

No. This is a piece of hardware that requires other pieces to work. UniFi sells business and enterprise networking equipment. It requires a management system to be in place. A cloud key or Dream Machine is needed to configure this. Think, professional use only where professional knowledge is necessary. Return this to where you purchased it. If you want to use Mesh, pickup a TP-Link Deco system, Eero, or a Google Nest WiFi system for a ***proper*** functional system that won't make things worse. Don't buy garbage called "range extenders" or "WiFi boosters".

Deco. Asus has done me dirty too many times to EVER buy something from them again. Don't warranty me twice. Get out of my house.

I did. I have one house with 3 decos and spectrum and another house with 5 decos on optimum and no issues on either. I named both ssids on the decos the same so every device connects in both houses.
