Deco BE11000

I have a tp-link be11000, its the costco 3 pack, and I'll not impressed with my wifi. I want to get something both better and stronger. Any recommendations for a 3000 sq ft 2 story home? Net is bottom floor corner. Whole house is hooked up to wifi. We have a lot of 2.4 ghz smart appliances. I game and my wife works from home.

I just bought TP-Link BE11000 3 unit mesh, $365. I have had it for 2 weeks now. No issues, great coverage with router plus one satellite. Highly recommend.

Im using Deco BE11000 as my 2 main nodes (plus a few smaller deco devices to extend to other parts) in an apartment, wifi 6 disabled (as i don't have anything that supports it yet), fast roaming disabled. System works flawlessly and consists of a full Arc Ultra setup, Sonos Amp, Era 100 and several Symfonisk speakers.

Cat 5 or Cat 6 They will work fine for what you are trying to accomplish Why do you have to run ethernet cables..? Only one unit should require being connected to your modem. Also is that deal still available ? il buy it lol

Thats okay, this is how mesh is designed to work and utilize eachother to create a whole home network, place the main unit there, and the secondary unit on the oppposite corner. if this hinders your original plan of wanting on in a specific room you shouldn't have sold that third guy lmao, but honestly since your in an apartment Id bet even a single node would cover it all so just place the second unit wherever you want the best connection / want to hardwire

Using AT&T fiber 1000 TP-Link Deco BE11000 Wi-Fi 7 Tri-Band Whole-Home Mesh Wi-Fi System 3 Getting 1.25gb speeds

I can confirm this one works well. Gives you all the settings you need to overcome the downsides that happen with most Mesh systems.

This is my response from a different thread but this applies: A sample size of one but I wanted to give you my perspective. I used to have RBR50 with 1 satellite with wireless back haul. I get 1.2GBPS at from my ISP. I used to get really good speeds (5-600) everywhere, but about 2 months ago it started getting worse and eventually died. I’ve had these for 5-6 years so I got my money worth. I bought Deco BE11000 and had it for a week. I hated it, it was unstable and the internet speeds were all over the place. Compared to my Orbi, I got higher speeds (800 deco vs 500/600 Orbi) when I was close to the router, but worse speeds (80/90 deco vs 200 Orbi) when I was far away from the router. Some of my smart devices didn’t even connect at all. My work computer kept on dropping connection constantly even at 15 feet! Then tried the 770. The firmware was a mess. Constant dropping connections with several drops. My TV which is about 20ft away kept on losing WiFi and it drove me crazy. Specially at the price of 770. I finally went back to RBK752P and it’s been a dream. I get 800+ pretty much everywhere in the house and connection has been rock solid. Take that for what at worth!
