Deco BE65 Pro

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

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.

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.

Just 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. 

I did not. I got the Deco BE65 over the holidays. I wanted to wait for the prices to come down and the options to open up. That said, I have some regular dropouts with the set up that never happened with the old Orbi it replaced. I think there is a firmware in beta that is supposed to help with this.

I got the Pro because of the faster ports and was able to price-match BestBuy with Costco. I think the hardware is substantially the same, but they bond a few channels to get the 5gig ports. FWIW, I turned off one of the sats because of the dropouts on my iPhone I mentioned above. The beta firmware has now been released (v1.1.3), so I turned it back on. It's only been a few days, but so far I am not experiencing the dropouts. Are you sure the "light years" comparison isn't versus the BE63?
