"It’s easy and reliable. ... This is all really easy to set up in my experience, and it just works."
"And yes you can install this by the yourself without any networking knowledge."
"I'd go with a mesh system like the Eero 7 Plus or the TPLink Deco, it would be much easier to get up and running."

"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."
"It takes 3 decos to cover 5500 sq ft. That’s what I have. Took about 5 of the crappy Linksys ones. Got rid of those."
"I moved to a TP link Deco system and have been incredibly impressed particularly with maintaining my internets full gigabit speeds between nodes."

"all issues I had beforehand are now gone"
"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 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!"

"The tplink’s I bought say they support mesh but once setup as a mesh they lose features. ... So the mesh isn’t worth using. ... The mesh setup is a half baked. You can’t use all the wifi features when setup as a mesh."

BarryT82 1.0I 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.
blah111222334445557 1.0If you’re needing WiFi 7. Highly recommend the BE 65 Pro (3 nodes), Has worked great for me!
Brbgottagame 1.0I 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
cdev12399 1.0I literally just hooked up the 2 pack of Deco 7 Pros. They are a replacement from my previous Linksys mesh system. It’s hooked up to a slightly older Netgear CM700 modem. We have the 1gig service from Optimum. I hooked them up about a week ago. So far I love it. Much faster speeds than before. Super easy to install.
dread7string 1.0That spectrum Wi-Fi 7 router is the worst of them all I got rid of that and bought a deco TP Link be 65 pro system with a fourth satellite I use one as the router three satellites all hard wired in my house all issues I had beforehand are now gone it's spectrum's garbage equipment the only thing they have worth keeping is the modem.
dutxh0007 1.0Just got the 2 x BE65 Pro on Amazon, on sale ($499 cdn) to pair with my GE 800. Overkill I know, but it's going to be fun.
lordwerwath 1.0I know it isnt exactly what you asked but I have a similar configuration and went with the Archer + Extender option. I went with Archer BE11000 Pro (the router not deco - there is some overlap on naming) and RE405BE extender. Got both on sale from Bestbuy for 350 and it is an absolute fantastic configuration. I have wired backhaul between the two. One point of note: You may think that the extender should be set in access point mode, but it actually stays in EasyMesh mode and auto detects that the wires backhaul is optimal.
ScorchedWonderer 1.0I agree with other comments return the archer and keep the deco system. While they come from the same company they work differently and not compatible with each other in terms of “meshing”.
Short_Mechanic8276 1.0Yes, you can set up 2 individual SSID to your liking, for each you can choose all frequency or 5g or 6g or 5g+6g. Besides the above, you can also set up another SSID for MLO, but will only allow you to choose between 2.4g+5g+6g or 5g+6g. You can even build a 4th SSID if you enable IoT network. And for mesh you can even choose which node connects to which node, so daisy chaining is pretty easy to configure on the deco system. Also, you can decide the which node the device will only connects to.
Steve_Fudd 1.0Just upgraded to the Deco BE65 Pro from an Orbi RBR750 system, and the Deco iOS app is a huge improvement. Using main wired directly to the Fiber ‘modem’ + 1 wireless downstairs & 1 wired upstairs + 1 wireless upstairs. Just wanted to get input on this being the most optimized infrastructure. Thanks in advance.
Hey much appreciated. I really just mirrored the older Orbi setup. This WiFi 7 mesh is just much faster and the app is much more intuitive. The Orbi has served us well, but parental controls were disjointed and not intuitive at all. The device management is much stronger on the Deco app.
