TP-Link - Deco BE65

Deco here as well and never have any Sonos issues, 160square metre house so I have 3 decos to cover it.

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

I think I paid about 300 euros for 2 pack of BE65 ( last year, Black Friday discount).

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.

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.

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".

I have Deco system and, unlike others here, it's been a real nightmare for me. I have struggled with coverage (which is fine and resolvable), stability and comparability, and I find the management app not great. However - when it is working it's really good except with a few legacy pieces of kit. My advice to u is: use a single model of node which others are recommending, don't flood the property with too many but do plan things like: WiFi reach into garden or garage if appropriate. And if you can, get a spare node to allow for disaster. HTH

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.

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

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.

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

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

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've tried Orbi and Deco... Deco at least has more options but I had a lot of issues walking around the house and the switching between nodes taking a long time or unable to get a full Internet access once reconnected.

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.

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.

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

Upgrade to Wifi 6E. It's quite the jump. Not just in speeds, but how the connections are handled. You want 2x2 MIMO at least on the router side for that many devices. The Deco line works well and is easy to set and forget. You can pay huge premium for Wifi7 and enjoy that, or just realize that 200-400mbps real world speed over wifi 6 or 500-750 on wifi6e will be just fine.

I have a higher end Deco unit that has 6ghz. I actually disabled it because my phone was constantly changing between the 6ghz and 5ghz band as I moved around the house. With Wi-Fi, stability is way more important than a little bit of extra speed. Enjoy your setup and don't worry about what other people say.

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

Works very well. I have 8 BE65s linked together

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.

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.

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 3 TP-Link Archer BE9300/BE550 routers (just got the 3rd) for a 3k sq ft house. Only reason I got the 3rd was for wired ports in a bedroom that I'll move some stuff to eventually. I have 2Gbps fiber and only have 1Gbps wireless devices. Plugging Ethernet into my laptop to the farthest router I get 600Mbps down/400Mbps up. They work very well and have good ping with no packet loss. I will eventually run Ethernet in the attic but that's a project for another month. This works amazingly for now. I moonlight from my computer in an unused room to my Legion Go anywhere in the house. I also have my Xbox plugged into the second router 30-40 feet from the main router and stream from the Xbox app all over the house flawlessly. Take this info for what it's worth. Edit: My Legion Go connects to wifi 6G just fine everywhere. The mentioned routers go on sale for $180 each regularly. "Refurbished" go lower.

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.

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 :)

Originally it was P9s using powerline (ether over mains) but I scrapped that as the WiFi coverage was poor and the nodes were unstable. Now it's WiFi using X50s with a single P9 in the garage.

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.

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).

Can confirm. Have Deco. Am miserable.
