TP-Link - Deco BE65 Pro

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.

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.

I have 1x wired backhaul connection and 1x wireless about 15m away from the router. I can get up to 900mbps on the wireless satellite on a good day (I have a 1GB fibre connection).

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

I was using my Arris Surfboard G36 doc3.1 as both modem and router and was getting below avg speeds and poor connection behind any walls. Now using the G36 on bridge mode with the Deco and everything is lightning fast and great coverage. Does a good job of switching between nodes depending on where I am and is managing the band choices perfectly. My house is only 1400sf but lots of thick walls. I also wanted coverage in my backyard so one node was placed on the back wall near the backyard and it's getting the job done outside as well

I picked up the 3 pack of the BE11000 WiFi 7 units from Costco. I honestly don't think I've been happier with a networking purchase ever. I'm running them in AP mode with wired backhaul and now I seamlessly roam between them and handoff is great. I can get almost full bandwidth on my iPhone from my provider. They just work great.

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 got the BE11000. The 6E probably would've been sufficient but I was hoping for something future-proof and it got good reviews.

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 :)

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.

I did the same upgrade myself about 3 weeks ago and it's awesome! Definitely like the app better and so far speeds and reliability have been outstanding. Worth the money and time to redo my setup

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.

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.

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.

that's odd you are having connection or signal issues. I have the deco be65 pro (3 pack) throughout my home, but I haven't had the issues you are mentioning. I consistently hit between 900 and 1000 on my gigabit connection. see attached https://preview.redd.it/arcyw9lxu1ee1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=207b5adfac2d98856d758f3724f6917b6108f11d

I feel you. I'm literally dealing with the same thing. I have the Orbi rbr750. Reading reviews, it seems everyone is having some type of problem. I finally gave in today and ordered the TP BE 1100 from Costco. If I can get by a week with no problems, that would be a win.

I recently bought a Deco mesh system from Costco that came with 3 nodes. I put the main node on my first floor connected to my router (in your case it would connect to the ONT and serve as the router, or you could keep using the router and put the mesh in AP mode, which I did). I put a wireless node in my basement and another on my second floor and I'm very happy with the setup.

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.

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".

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 picked up the BE65 Pro 3 pack at Best Buy a few weeks ago. It's on sale for $399 and they offer 15% off with a trade-in. There's also an Amex $25 cash back offer for Best Buy right now.

If you're needing WiFi 7. Highly recommend the BE 65 Pro (3 nodes), Has worked great for me!

I've had mine for about three months without a single disconnect. Love it. Do you have a lot of interference around your house?

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 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 :)

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

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.

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

This is the route I am going as well. I purchased the same equipment and will be installing it tomorrow. Do you recommend any specific settings for the setup?

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

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
