I finally got sick of restarting my Nest Wifi manually every two days when my wifi would inevitably stop working.
Switched to TP-Link DECO. Oh my god why did it wait so long,
It’s been flawless for over a month. Don’t ever have to think about it.
Google abandoned this product. If you’re thinking about switching, do it.
Such a huge upgrade from my w7200. No drops, no connection headaches, no issues with smart devices (save for a weird issue connecting local network to my pool equipment), and my wife was losing her mind as her WiFi was horrid and intermittent in her office with the last units and replacing them at same locations and she is now a solid 400mbit clean
I've been seriously considering that switch myself. I jumped into this sub b/c I a asked to look at some networks using older eero setups. Found it so dumbed down that it was very hard to troubleshoot but coverage was total a$$. Once I got it running correctly, I was actually pretty impressed with the performance. especially the mesh backhall.
I currently run a upper midrange 6+ deco system because until I see how well eero worked, it was by far the best I'd used. But the small business class Omada systems I've built have become my preferred standard. Just, I haven't played with mesh function on Omada and have no idea how capable it is it isn't.
The other part of the equation is the cost of ownership. At the pricing I've been looking at for eero units supporting 6ghz - it's almost a toss going with it or eero when I upgrade my own home setup.
Curious, anyone have any suggestions for a 6ghz eero setup with 4 APs ( meaning a master and 3 extensions via mesh backhall)?
The house setup is a pain, 2 floors and backyard, and the ftth is on one side of the house dead center (where I put my main AP due to difficulty accessing above it below for extending Ethernet) but having the 2nd AP just past halfway across the width of the home, yields mediocre performance and trying to run the 3rd downstairs below the 2nd leaves 2.4ghz devices struggling no matter how many optimizations I run.
Thinking maybe a 4 AP system may be required to improve things at 2.4 so my TAPO cameras don't struggle so much.
BE25 is the best option for the budget because of the 2.5G ethernet port and WIFI 7. But the range is worse than the X60 which is also a good option because of the Gigabit Ports and long range. If you have a small apartment then, the BE25 is the best option. Also you can just set your BE25 Channel Width to 80 or 160 if you want more range for the BE25.
(1)Yes, it does. But it is slower than the BE25 2.5 Gigabit Ports.
(2)Because of the 4x4 antennas in the X60 it has a better range and penetration. Even 60ft is no problem of X60 but the BE25 has 2/4 bars if 50 ft away.
