TP-Link - Deco BE25

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.

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

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

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.

I had exact same issue, 75yr old house plaster walls, only one floor plus attic. From advice found here on Reddit I bypassed my Fios router and did the following: 1) My Office is where the Fios comes in from the street: Plugged the coax into the ONT -> 2 feed Amphenol splitter -> one coax feed went to Screenbeam MoCa adapter, second coax went to feed the BR and LR, that coax runs into my attic. \-The Screenbeam Moca adapter in office is connected to TP Link 5 port Switch. I have my computer, Ring, Hue etc all connected to that office switch via ethernet. Instead of Fios router, I have a TP Link DecoX25 Mesh system, 3 pieces. The first one is in my office connected to the WAN in the ONT and that turns it into the new main router that replaces the Fios one. It is also connected to the office switch by ethernet cable. 2) In my attic, the coax that came from the office feed splits once more to go to LR and BR where the coax of both go into the other two Screenbeams. They in turn are connected via ethernet cables to their own 5 port switches. The switches in each of those rooms have TVs etc connected AND the other two Deco X25 mesh units which provide the wifi to those rooms. Before this setup we had 50-60mbps down in BR, now with setup above we have 670 mbps+ It works SO well.  Notes: \-CAT6 would be better than coax but terminating Cat cables is a bitch and a half, whereas terminating coax is really easy. You could run the coax through closet ceilings and you won’t see it, then drill through closet wall to each room. \-If you do go this way be sure to buy quality coax and try to run it as short a run as is possible. Buy quality splitters, Amphenol has great splitters, be sure they're MoCA ready and have the speed rating above 1G. Be sure your coax is seated properly when you terminate, lots of YT on how to. Be sure your switches are high enough speed to handle the 1G \-Do not underestimate doing it yourself! It sounds complicated but if you draw out your plan and search other MoCa diagrams you will get it. I always tell myself, if I fuck it up I can always call in a pro :-). \-My Fios installer suggested EERO mesh which I hear is excellent, I’ve had no issues with Deco Mesh.  Best of Luck!

I recently upgraded to TP-Link Deco BE25 WiFi 7, and it has been great. Three units covering the 3 story house, yard and two garages. I get great speed and it is very stable.

I have the Deco BE5000 and it works flawlessly

I think so too. I’ve ordered 2x XE75 and I’ll see how they work at home. I’ve had 3x BE25 but tbh the 3rd device was almost never used, all the devices connected to the 1st floor and basement ones. That’s why I think 2 devices is enough. I was getting around 500mbs speeds over wifi with them. I know I may be capping my future speed limit with the 1gbps ports, but that’s what I have for now and it seems to be enough. My theory is that in the future, when I need wifi 7, there will be newer and cheaper devices than the current BE65… (I hope)

Just purchased Deco BE63 and a BE25. We just got fiber installed 2gb. Going to bridge the modem to the 63 and wire through attic to the 25 in the garage. Will let you know how it goes.

I had 3 of these. Solid product. Upgraded to BE25s WiFi 7 last month.

The 2.4Ghz band is for smart home devices. 5ghz for phones. Home is around 3K sqft. I've a Plex server and NAS for which I need the bandwidth. Internet is JioFiber 500Mbps. Is overkill. No drops in speed or range so far. https://amzn.in/d/ftcHGJ3

I use a mesh system. Used to have 3x TP link Deco M4s. Now upgraded to TP link Deco 25 WiFi 7. Be used to have multiple extenders which were plugged into the wall and basically worked as repeaters but it was finicky. Go for a mesh system

I have 4 Be25 all Wired backhaul and it worked great. I don't see the need for the 6ghz band at all. If you are capable of doing Wired backhaul, your wifi speed would be awesome. I'm getting really good speed off my 2 gb internet, My home is a 2 stories 4500 sq ft home and this four pucks covers all including the back yard.

At the current price of the BE25, I would add another single BE25 instead of the older Deco M4 unit.

I got the puck version of the BE 63. which is the BE25, going with the 2 gig spectrum internet. These pucks are incredible with the speed. I got 1.6 wifi standing a few feet to the main puck router. My wired is currently only get 1.7 out of 2.0 due to provisioning issue at my area.
