"Worked flawlessly from setup and haven’t had to tweak the system at all."
"I have setup three Eero mesh systems for family members. They are super easy to setup and maintain. ... It has been set it and forget it for over three years now. These are installed in houses with users who are 65+."
"My mom actually installed it herself with no problem. ... If you’re not familiar with networking it’s great system."

"internal connections for example i use Sunshine & Moonlight to game stream to my living room TV or my bedroom projector and I get the full 2.5gig speed test to my desktop from the tv, projector and my phone that are on wifi"
"if I connect to the MLO network (WiFi 7) I get nearly max speeds my isp offers."
"Finally, nothing drops, everything is fast and solid, the devices themselves are now the bottleneck."

"with a big house we always had issues with coverage before that's non-existent now"
"Actually better than a range extender, as Mesh systems are designed from the ground up to work with each other in the system. ... But it's half ass "patched up" jerky jerky mesh was no match to a Deco. Deco was snappier, more reliable, and longer range."
"The coverage is excellent. I have a 2 storey 175sqm house and it covers almost everything."

"faster speeds with a wired back call mesh system ... Paying for one gig down and could barely get 500 on an iPhone 16 Pro Max… With this one I’m getting 1100 down which is amazing."
"tplink just works ... I follow up with my customers each month and they say everything is much better and working great. I only hardwire nodes, never wireless, and I buy the wifi6e versions- I’m not saying tplink is better than Unifi, just saying a hardwired network and wifi where you need it is the recipe."
"I have a TP link Deco with all nodes hardwired it works brilliantly."

"I returned mine because it was very minimally configurable. ... It wouldn't even let me set it up without internet access, and I wanted to use it in an offline lab. ... That said, it's probably fine for regular users if you have no intention of ever digging into things."
"UI wise? the thing sucks. ... there's just so many basic things you can't do. ... for starters, all the administration has to be done from a mobile app. ... the web based "admin" page just has some basic diagnostics and no ability to configure anything."
"Once I moved away from the FRITZ stuff I finally got options to fix buffer bloat and do proper QoS."

BigNavy505 1.0I just test out the Be63’s last week for 3100 SF home and large backyard. It worked well but I’m more of a prosumer and the app was pretty dumbed down. Bought the more expensive Asus BT10, 2 pack and they just smoke the BE63s. Faster and a lot better range.
Brenell 1.0Just 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.
CautiousInternal3320 1.0I suggest starting by wiring the XE75s together. This should dramatically improve the situation. If, after doing that, you still require an additional Deco, BE63 is a good choice. If you run the Deco mesh in Router mode, one port of the main Deco must be dedicated to the connection with Internet, the satellite Deco cannot be reachable via that port. If you have a separate ISP box acting as a router, you might consider running the mesh in Acces Point mode.
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.
3 Deco meshes in the family, purchased in 2020, 2024 and 2025, all working perfectly.
Hooyahhhh 1.0Same, i had 4 google 6e mesh and was a nightmare. Half the time it didnt work or the coverage was horrible throughout the house. Just got the Deco BE63 and setup was simple and speeds are great
jawittesr 1.0Just installed a BE63 and so far it’s working fine. Getting 700 mps on a one gig fiber account.
jckxxx 1.0Tplink mesh WiFi 7 10000, I am Able to get 1gbps across the house.
jebidiaGA 1.0Loving my 2 be63 tplink decos in our 2900 sqft 2 story. Usually get around 600-700 mbs over wifi. I go from fiber ont to the main deco unit, then to a poe switch for exterior cameras. Just doing a wireless backhaul and it works great.
I've got 2 x be63s and they fully cover our 2900 sqft home wonderfully. Bought them right when they came out and haven't had any issues. I use the wireless backhaul and on the 2nd unit i hardwire my work computer into it and I get around 940 mbs of my 1 gbs line. They are awesome
Very happy with my tplink be63's. I vlan from my ont to the main unit and then the other unit can be wired or wireless
Go for tplink deco mesh... lose the traditional router. Decos are simple to setup and work great. Always try wireless backhaul first, most of the time it's enough, regardless of how everyone on reddit wants to spend 1000s$ hardwiring your house. Need info on your house size and stories etc
Tplink be63's are awesome and easy to setup. Wireless backhaul is fine. You can hardwire into a unit that is running a wireless backhaul and get great speeds. My second unit is setup like that and I get about 940mbs of my 1 gbs fiber
Looks like that's the outdoor unit? I've got 2 be 10000's and they've been awesome. I get about 500-700 mbs over wifi on my gig fiber. My second unit is over wireless backhaul and i wired a computer to that unit and see about 940mbs, only about 10-20 mbs less vs hardwiring that second unit. 2 units in a 2900 sqft 2 story
Josh2942 1.0I think it's never going to be good as an aftermarket setup. You will get it regardless with a 2GB+ network speed. You can try it out. I hate the smartphone app. I have my Deco BE10000 wifi 7 setup in AP mode behind my BGE-320
JustJJ92 1.0Just 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.
Key-Ear-296 1.0Does your office have a coaxial somewhere? I would always try and run ethernet but I get it. I ran cat 6 solid copper throughout my whole house and all of my decos are wired backhauled. But if you do have a coaxial in the office. Try one of these. It could help. An thanks for doing that test! Thats good to see those results. I have 6 XE75 pro and the BE63. They all work great. I only had issues with my eufy cameras disconnecting. I was able to fix that with changing the 2.4g channel on the decos to 11. https://preview.redd.it/a9vibtz1iruf1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f6986dffdb9c288dc29a5b204695f6c52772720e
