Easy whole-home coverage, good value, but limited advanced config.
- Easy setup and user-friendly app
- Good value for money
- Limited advanced configuration options
- Poor wireless backhaul in older homes
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.
r/googlehome • What Mesh Wifi Is Everyone Using ? ->Yes, you will want to buy a mesh network that supports wired backhaul. Mesh on this sub usually refers to wireless backhaul connected nodes. However, when looking up products you will want to search for a mesh network. I use TP-Link Decos (3xBE63's and the main node is a BE85). I'm pretty happy with the performance. Others like Asus or Unify. Look up the features and reviews of each and decide. All of those options will allow you to have the same SSID and switch between nodes effortlessly. 2. You should install conduit during the remodel if possible. Continue connecting the nodes via ethernet backhaul. I'm a little unclear if you mean running new ethernet during the remodel or replacing old cables. In reality, Cat5e is great for most users and already supports PoE, so existing runs should be just fine! 3. I would considering upgrading your switches if you want greater speeds. Cat5e and Cat6 can support 2.5gbe and 10gbe respectively and is likely to be one of the bigger bottlenecks in your network. I'm not sure how many switches and ports you have, but the good news is 2.5gbe switches are fairly inexpensive! This really only applies if you're ISP plan speed is over 1 gig or you need a faster internal network like if you own a NAS.
r/HomeNetworking →I have a TP Link Deco BE63 with 2 nodes and have 10+ current gen Sonos devices (Arc Ultra, Era 100, 300, Fives, Sub Gen 4) and they work very well. No networking issues.
r/sonos →Got two BE63. Much better coverage and stability. Getting consistent 400-500mps on a one gig fiber plan throughout the house.
r/wifi →I highly recommend the [TP-Link Wi-Fi 7 Tri-Band Mesh System](https://www.reddit.com/user/unwelcome_frown15/comments/1jxaza0/mesh_wifi_system_recommendations/). It offers blazing fast speeds, low latency, and rock-solid coverage, great for large homes or demanding smart setups. Future-proof too with Wi-Fi 7 support.
r/HomeNetworking • What is the Best WiFi Mesh System for Home? ?????????? ->I just tested out a handful of mesh systems, Eero6, TP Link XE 75 Pro and their BE63. All worked fine in our 3100 SF drywall and lumber home. But the apps or web gui were all dumbed down / simple. I settled on the ASUS BT10 two pack. Fast and crazy coverage. Great app and web gui IF you want to tweak settings.
r/wifi →What about a Deco BE63 with the mesh nodes Ethernet connected to the main unit. I have a 3 unit setup for a tri- level 2850 SQ. Feet house. Since you have Ethernet cables, you can add more mesh nodes if you don't get good coverage. 3800 SQ. Feet per floor, wowsa
r/wifi →I don't know which brand is the best brand but I recently switched from Google Nest Wifi (not pro) to TP link Deco BE63 mesh system and pretty happy about it. Each BE63 unit has four 2.5Gbps ports. You can create a total of four networks with it. The Main network supports 2.4, 5 and 6Ghz bandwidth. The Guest network can also support 2.4, 5 and 6Ghz bandwidth. The Guest network can not access the Main network. Then there's the MLO network which only allow 5 and 6Ghz bandwidth. Finally there's the IoT network that supports 2.4 and/or 5Ghz bandwidth. In some cases, you might have some older smart devices can only connect to 2.4Ghz. That's where you want to connect to the IoT network and set it to 2.4Ghz only, so you can group them together. For newer smart devices that support both 5 and 6Ghz, you can group them in the MLO network. So they won't connect to the 2.4Ghz. Another feature I like about the BE63 is that you can set up a VPN server and/or client on the router. Then assign which devices to use VPN. Each unit also comes with an USB port so if you have NAS, you can connect to one of them via Ethernet or USB then access it via a VPN server.

+1 for the Decos. (Decoes?) They've been pretty reliable over the year and a half-ish that I've had them. The app is a bit funky (esp for more advanced stuff), but as far as being a router, they seem great.
r/HomeNetworking • What is a rock-solid affordable router for an average family? ->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.
r/HomeNetworking • Does your mesh system perform well? ->TP-Link Deco work quite well, I've installed plenty of them. Even with wireless backhaul they cope well.
r/nbn • Longest range router on the market? ->Even the mid range TP-Link mesh stuff goes well for your average home user with a couple of 4k TV's and a console plus phones and kids.
r/nbn • Longest range router on the market? ->The wireless backhaul is nothing to sniff at on the better domestic mesh systems. I've got a higher end orbi system, and move an absolute boatload of data around, with more than 50 attached devices on the network, and it holds up very, very well. Your average home user will be well served by a Deco mesh.
r/nbn • Longest range router on the market? ->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.
r/BuyItForLife • Looking for Wi-Fi Router Recommendations! ->7,299 right now on Amazon for 3 unit TP link deco.
r/Kerala • Are Wi-Fi Extenders Really Effective? ->Buy 2 unit mesh for 5k and check coverage. Then add more if necessary.
r/Kerala • Are Wi-Fi Extenders Really Effective? ->I used the deco mesh system in the end. Honestly I really like it, I have only had a few minor hiccups but the control I have is great and it was easy to set up. It also helped I got them $100 off
r/HomeNetworking • Router advice for home ->Agree with this. Go with mesh routers (TP Link Deco is a good option). I was able to cover a 3 level house using two units (one of the ground floor and second mounted near the roof of second floor near the stairs. This covers all 3 floors completely. If you can still do it, I highly recommend installing a CAT6 Ethernet cable from the point where you will keep the primary router (most probably somewhere in ground floor) to a central point in second floor to act as a wired backhaul. This will give you a better consistent connection from the second floor/ third units. And yes you can install this by the yourself without any networking knowledge.
r/Kerala • View on Reddit →Ha, "if you are wealthy"...I'm stuck with the Deco for a few years now haha

r/googlehome • View on Reddit →Tp link deco. Just a no fuss system. Plug in, download the app, set ssid and don't worry about it anymore for years. Mine has been stable and working for years. There are better systems out there for sure, but at the price point, it's good value
r/googlehome • View on Reddit →Asus AiMesh - Yea TP-Link Deco - Yes TP-Link Easy Mesh - Not sure
r/HomeNetworking • View on Reddit →Look at firewalla gold pro ... Best router I've ever used in a long time... Understand this is a router only though... This doesn't provide wireless access and way above your budget . Would also need to add access points for that. I don't think you will find anything decent in that price point TBH. ... I had decent luck with TP link deco as well but I find that it could have some better features... Unfortunately if you go with consumer routers you will always find them lacking....
r/homelab • View on Reddit →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.
r/TpLink • View on Reddit →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.
r/HomeNetworking • View on Reddit →Tp-links newest WiFi 7 router is sick for the price.
r/MoonlightStreaming • View on Reddit →some of these replies are so dumb. most people do not want to punch holes in their wall and run cable. yea, it’s optimal, we know. chill out. i have a tp-link deco mesh system and love it. i would recommend your choice of be5000.
r/wifi • View on Reddit →TP Link Deco. You won’t regret it. Of course the best case scenario is to have wired backhaul between the nodes, but real life is another thing. I’m sure you’ll be happy with the Deco solution. It’s very user friendly, easy maintenance, decent support and upgrades, and you can remotely manage them. If you decide to put some wires between them later, awesome! But you can start leveraging the benefits from day one.
r/HomeNetworking • View on Reddit →Best I have tested is the BE63. Reached 1G off the wireless node that was a separate floor away and had full coverage throughout my 2k sq ft house as well as outside
r/HomeNetworking • View on Reddit →I left after being an early adopter - I switched to TP links Deco has been a game changer - if I had more need for even further customization of my network and money was not an issue I would be running ubiquity
r/amazoneero • View on Reddit →I’m a big fan of the TP-Link Deco mesh stuff. The “will they be banned” stuff won’t affect firmware updates. You can always get them online; you just wouldn’t be able to buy them new again.
r/wireless • View on Reddit →I’ve got a Deco. Didn’t want either Amazon or Google monitoring my WiFi.
r/Spectrum • View on Reddit →Fuck tp link. I bought a wifi 7 one and shit sucks. Went back to my Asus. Glad to know it wasn't just my router
r/virtualreality • View on Reddit →Deco system is the best. I am very glad I spent money on it and it has been flawless for over 10 months.
r/homeoffice • View on Reddit →In similar situation: put in a TP Link Deco mesh. Omada is overkill.
r/TPLink_Omada • View on Reddit →TPlink Deco/some other mesh network system where you can just buy 2-3 of them and hardwire them all together. Should give you plenty of speed and coverage
r/LinusTechTips • View on Reddit →I bought a router and 3 extra points of the 2nd generation Nest Wifi. I had wifi issues all the time. A device would be connected to a point but have no internet. You can find forum posts of people complaining about this very same issue without any resolution from Google. I switched to Deco and have had 0 issues.
r/HomeNetworking • View on Reddit →\+1 for deco, I have 3 of them at home (one on each floor) and it works great!
r/homeowners • View on Reddit →Buy 2 unit mesh for 5k and check coverage. Then add more if necessary.
r/Kerala • View on Reddit →I have 4 wired back haul Deco mesh for a smaller square footage than you. I'm not all that impressed, especially with signal drops as I walk around the house.
r/wifi • View on Reddit →7,299 right now on Amazon for 3 unit TP link deco.
r/Kerala • View on Reddit →The TP link Decos are badass. I bought an asus one like this shown and it crapped out within a year.
r/Spectrum • View on Reddit →If you have a house that you are struggling to cover wifi with, a mesh system is recommended as you'll be placing several "routers" around the house that work together to give you the best signal. Obviously they work best when these mesh points are connected with a cable back haul, however they work well with wifi backhaul as well. If money is no object then the Orbi mesh system is the best which provide you with the best speeds around. The TP Link Deco mesh systems also provide good speeds at a much lower cost, so that would be my go to. All of these mesh systems are managed via an app that you can download on your phone or tablet.
r/nbn • View on Reddit →Just upgraded from an older Orbi system to the TPLink BE10000 today and it was worth it. Speeds overall are better and had it up and running in 30 minutes with the satellites.
r/orbi • View on Reddit →Don’t bother with TP Link Deco either, ok router but not great Parental Controls.
r/HomeNetworking • View on Reddit →Yeah, exactly. It's easy to set up. I've a deco in front room plugged into router and the other two in kitchen in and then office outside. You should get around 20-30mb in shed, which is grand for work and watching movies.
r/AskIreland • View on Reddit →Well, it was the best available device at my price point. Replaced an aging Airport Extreme network. What makes the Deco suck?
r/wifi • View on Reddit →Hello!! I also use Deco Mesh and Homekit, i noticed a BIG improvement once i conected all my decos via ethernet. I hate cables but it was a game changer, i use smart products from different brands and now i don't have any issues with disconections!! Some meross plugs disconected all the time before wiring my decos, now they work flawless! Hope you can find a solution that fits your needs! ????
r/HomeKit • View on Reddit →With what looks like a large tree in between your house & guest house, I would think hard wiring that section would be best. We got a TP Link Deco mesh system back when we got our SL (Oct 2021) and have 4 mesh nodes (the first acts as the router) around our property, covering a few acres in good wifi. Originally, we had one at our house trying to wirelessly connect to another node at our guest house about 230' away (same as your 70m) but there were trees in the way, so once we laid in ground cable between those 2 nodes, we were able to then extend beyond to our shop & our gate.
r/Starlink • View on Reddit →I had a Deco and you gotta watch which model you get. I got one that it's WAN port maxes out at 100 Mbps :\\
r/Spectrum • View on Reddit →I’ve been using TP-Link Deco mesh systems for the past couple of years for WiFi7, but they have a great range of mesh and non-mesh options in tri-band and other.
r/HomeNetworking • View on Reddit →Wifi extender would reduce the speed considerably. Best option : Mesh network. You'll need two minimum and add on would be 2.5K per mesh router. TP link Deco is what I am use. Second best : buy another wifi router and connect it with the original through ethernet cable. You'll have a different wifi name for the network from the second router so you'll have to switch between connections.
r/Kerala • View on Reddit →I have tp link Delco each has ethernet back haul works great.
r/HomeNetworking • View on Reddit →What speed is your fiber plan? I have a wifi 7 tp link that I’ve been using for over a year now. Solid router with no issues. The software to control isn’t amazing but if you don’t have a complicated setup- it would serve you just fine. Although I do suspect you can get a better price if you hunt around. Netgear is also a solid brand.
