TP-Link - Deco BE63 BE10000 Whole Home Mesh WiFi 7 System

+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.

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.

TP-Link Deco work quite well, I've installed plenty of them. Even with wireless backhaul they cope well.

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.

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.

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.

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

Buy 2 unit mesh for 5k and check coverage. Then add more if necessary.

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

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.

Ha, "if you are wealthy"...I'm stuck with the Deco for a few years now haha

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.

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

Asus AiMesh - Yea TP-Link Deco - Yes TP-Link Easy Mesh - Not sure

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....

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.

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.

Tp-links newest WiFi 7 router is sick for the price.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

I’ve got a Deco. Didn’t want either Amazon or Google monitoring my WiFi.

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

TP-Link Deco. 3 units.

Deco system is the best. I am very glad I spent money on it and it has been flawless for over 10 months.

In similar situation: put in a TP Link Deco mesh. Omada is overkill.

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

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.

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

I use TPLink Decos

Buy 2 unit mesh for 5k and check coverage. Then add more if necessary.

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.

Same, very happy with it.

The TP link Decos are badass. I bought an asus one like this shown and it crapped out within a year.

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.

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.

Don’t bother with TP Link Deco either, ok router but not great Parental Controls.

Can confirm. Have Deco. Am miserable.

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.

Well, it was the best available device at my price point. Replaced an aging Airport Extreme network. What makes the Deco suck?

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! ????
