TP-Link - Deco XE70 Pro

Idk why you got down voted but I spent about 160 bucks to get two TP-Link Deco XE70 Pro from Amazon to replace my Eero Pro 6e +extender. I also have increased speeds and range. From my research seems like best bang for the buck. That being said the 300 bucks package here is alright if you want to stay in the same ecosystem. Not a crazy deal, but if you need it, you need it.

I have the deco xe70 pro and love it

I have 4500 sqft on 3 levels and have 4 Deco XE70 Pro's and it works exceptionally well. Even in concrete basement i get approx 500m download on a 1g service. Rest of house gets 700m plus.

I have 40-50 IoT with 4 camera and my system is like a rock. I reboot the Decos once a week on a schedule

Love my Deco XE 70 pro system. 4 nodes 3 floors with amazing coverage.

I have xe70 pros which is the same as these. They're fine as a mesh but the CPU inside can't handle heavy traffic when wired backhaul (2 core CPU) I had to buy a separate router and turned on AP mode. All's well now.

I have a TP-Link x70 pro mesh (3 nodes) system behind TMHI. I just put them in AP mode. Everything works like normal.

Getting 1Gps wireless is going to require specific clients and a higher end mesh (likely WiFi 7). So you really need to specify a budget. High level you want a 3 unit (unless you meant 3 floors + the basement, then 4 units). Get a tri-band unit. I have great success with the Eero Pro 6E, Asus XT12s (really hard to find now but XT8/9 are easy to find and have really solid performance for the price). The Deco BE63 are on sale and WiFi 7 and the XE70s are solid.

I just switched from Eero Pro 6 to a TP-Link Deco XE70 Pro. My interest speeds have increased and range of signal has increased as well.

Depends on the size of the space you’re trying to cover and your internet speeds. Deco XE75 WiFi 6E system strong reliable good for gig or less isp speeds. If you have higher than a gig for speed then Go XE75 pro Deco AXE4900 pro good all around system for speeds of 2.5 gig or less. Solid performance just a tad slower WiFi speeds compared to the XE75 pro which is an AXE5400 Deco. BE63 WiFi 7 means your future proofing yourself good for internet speeds of up to 2.5 gig solid system Deco BE65 another WiFi 7 model pretty much the same as the BE63 but a little more speed or the BE65 pro good for speeds of up to 5 gig

You could do a few different models my suggestions would be Deco XE75 Deco XE75 Pro Deco AXE4900 Pro Those 3 are WiFi 6E tri band Systems If you want something WiFi 7 that would future proof you then something like a BE63 or BE11000 would be a safe choice. If you go with the BE63 make sure to grab Hardware Version 2.6 as 1.6 hardware has a lot of issues and is being phased out but there are still some out there. So just watch for that. If you want a basic WiFi 6 system then something like an X55 or X55 pro would also work fairly well

XE70 pro would work very well it’s priced very well and while the XE75 is a good system the XE70 seems to be a tad faster loading pages and so on atleast in my experience it was a tad faster especially wirelessly which it should be the opposite but the XE70 pro is rock solid

Based on your post I think the TP-Link Deco BE63 would be good for a WiFi 7 upgrade. It has 2.5gb WAN and 2.5gb LAN ports, This should work well with internet speeds up to 2.5gbps. If you have faster internet then this system will throttle (reduce/limit) your speed to 2.5gbps max and you should consider something with 10gb WAN and LAN ports (which would of course be more expensive). I don’t think most folks need internet speeds over 1gbps, but that’s just my opinion. The BE68 is substantially more expensive but I think it is a partial solution. It only has a single 10gb WAN port on each device, then 2.5gb LAN and gigabit LAN port. So even if you had 5gb fiber internet and hooked that up to the 10gb LAN port, you’d still be throttled to 2.5gb on the LAN. So I suggest the BE63 for your use case. The mesh BE63 3-pack kit is on sale at Amazon as I write this. Instead of $499.99 it’s $419.99 with a coupon (shown on the Amazon product listing page). I know you stated you’re looking for something affordable, but this is about the price you could expect to pay for tri-band WiFi 7 mesh technology. If you wanted to save a bit you could opt for WiFi 6E instead (still gives you 2.4/5/6ghz bands), but you won’t get multi link operation and some other WiFi 7 only featues. You can’t take advantage of MLO for example on WiFi 7 unless your client devices support it, so I think WiFi 6E is a good system to purchase today. Still a bit early to get WiFi 7, as the tech is still improving and prices will continue to fall. If you want to buy WiFi 7 today, you will pay more. Meanwhile prices for WiFi 6E and WiFi 6 routers/mesh systems are very reasonable in comparison. A good TP-Link 6E mesh system to consider would be the Deco XE70 Pro. 2.5gb WAN and two one-gigabit ports on every device. The 3 pack is $239.99 at Amazon now with the coupon, $30 off normal price. The Deco XE75 Pro looks very similar, a little bit faster theoretical speed on the 5ghz band (perhaps it is 3x3 streams instead of 2x2, that would make it ‘faster’). It’s $269.99. If I were picking between these two I would get the Deco XE70 Pro. I doubt you would notice the speed difference between that and the XE75 Pro. If you want to save even more money you can buy most of those products in “Used - Like New” condition, just check the product listing. If you decide to do this make sure it’s sold by Amazon! That way if you have any issues you could easily return it within 30 days. A word of warning on “Used- Like New.” Sometimes it is a customer return (they didn’t like it, couldn’t figure out how to use/configure it, etc.) and then that is a great deal for you, as you get a like new product for sometimes $100-$150+ less money than if it were brand new. Other times the person who bought it and returned it maybe discovered it was broken, or they tried to apply custom firmware to the router and bricked/broke it. Amazon has no way to really test these devices when they are returned.. I am confident all they do is look and say, “Yup, looks like the product I see on the box. Seal it back up and sell it as ‘Used-Like New.’” So it is a bit of a crap shoot. I will mention I bought my current ASUS XT8 mesh system (WiFi 6) four years ago as “Used, Like New” and saved nearly $200 from the brand-new price. But I had to factory reset the router & mesh node as the prior purchaser’s wireless configuration was still on the devices (clearly they tried it, then decided to return it without factory resetting it). Easy for me to fix, just another step, 5 minutes. If you want something that will “just work” and don’t want to mess with potential issues, then just buy a brand new unit. Another point about cost: $419 may seem like a lot, but consider how long you will own it and the cost isn’t too bad. For example your current mesh system is about 5 years old. If the new system costs you $419 and lasts 5 years, then it’s only about $7/month (over a 60 month period) that you are paying for that product. Not too bad, it’s less than a trip to Starbucks, and most people get coffee more than once a month. I don’t recommend “prioritizing network traffic” as this requires the router to inspect every data packet, which can slow down all devices using the network. As long as you have a well-functioning network and sufficient bandwidth/speed for your devices, you shouldn’t need to bother with Quality of Service (QoS), device prioritization, etc. If my thinking on this is inaccurate, someone will helpfully correct me. Good luck and enjoy your new hardware!

Or, logically, return the AXE75 and get a Deco XE75 Pro, XE70 Pro, or the BE63 3 piece kit and be done. For slightly more than the single router, you have a true mesh system and can use the wired ports on the units for back-haul between them and/or to connect other devices that you don't want on wireless to gigabit (or on some of the models, 2.5 gigabit). It's a lot easier and cheaper than the AXE75 and then EasyMesh Extenders that don't really do the job you're looking for.

XE70 Pro would be probably the best bang for your buck. They are currently on sale on amazon with a 30$ promo available (alittle cheaper than the X75 pros), and are WiFi 6E. Really only difference in my opinion is a slightly lower wifi spec speed, but that won't make a difference with your 600mbps connection
