I 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.
I 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
I 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.
That 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.
Just 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.
I 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.
I 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”.
Yes, 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.
