"deco have very nice, cheap and reliable options ... tp link is best bang for buck"
"The TP Link Deco mesh systems also provide good speeds at a much lower cost, so that would be my go to."
"go through Walmart and you'll most of the time find it on sale for less than $100 ... I picked up my 2 pack for around $80"

"Actually better than a range extender, as Mesh systems are designed from the ground up to work with each other in the system. ... But it's half ass "patched up" jerky jerky mesh was no match to a Deco. Deco was snappier, more reliable, and longer range."
"Became FANTASTIC once I strung some ethernet cables among four of them including the one serving as a router in strategic locations (our house is rather large and some walls contain metal lathe). ... We now always have excellent connectivity and fast roaming."
"I have tp-links deco mesh system and it’s rock solid."

"i noticed a BIG improvement once i conected all my decos via ethernet. ... it was a game changer, i use smart products from different brands and now i don't have any issues with disconections!! ... Some meross plugs disconected all the time before wiring my decos, now they work flawless!"

"My mom actually installed it herself with no problem. ... If you’re not familiar with networking it’s great system."
"Honestly I really like it, I have only had a few minor hiccups but the control I have is great and it was easy to set up. ... At least this way I can see what is and is not working and troubleshooting is easy. I also have a variety of controls to see who is connecting to what and I can block things easier"
"Just a no fuss system. ... Plug in, download the app, set ssid and don't worry about it anymore for years. ... Mine has been stable and working for years."

"If you want better configuration dont go Deco its locked down by the software app to run some services and tweak. ... using them as a primary gateway not the smartest for the more experienced user that likes the standard routing options available to setup etc."
"rubbish app that won't let you change settings 9 times out of 10"

"the deco wouldn’t play nice with my existing whole house tplink gigabit switch for the wired backhaul. Even though it was the same manufacturer. I tried forever, but finally I gave up"
"I had Deco. Spend hours trying to extend WiFi range with another node. Fail."
"I went from Deco’s that had devices drop off regularly"

"If you can’t do a wired/coax backhaul between the nodes and have an older or brick house, I can’t recommend. ... The wireless bridge between access points is pretty horrible even like 20-30 ft from each other in my house."
"I have some regular dropouts with the set up that never happened with the old Orbi it replaced."

"Stay far away from routers with fans, I returned a tp-link wifi 7 router over this exact issue. ... Sfp port was so hot it was unreal. ... Try to cool your place in summer with air conditioning, you don't want some fan blowing heat. ... Also moving parts is a bad idea for longevity."
I have the Deco be65 wifi 7 3 pack and i am very happy with it on my 800squ block. Can reach all areas.
r/nbn • Mesh Wifi Recommendations ->I’m using 2 TP-Link Deco BE65 BE9300 mesh units in my home. It’s the consumer mesh version and doesn’t have the options and settings of the Archer but it been 100% reliable and my WiFi speeds have nearly doubled even though I don’t have any WiFi 7 devices. It was easy to migrate over from my Asus XT8 mesh network. Named the IoT network the same as my old SSID so I didn’t have re-enter the network info on all the HomeKit devices.
r/HomeKit • Is anyone using the TP-Link Tri-Band BE15000 WiFi 7 Router Archer BE700 for your smart home? ->Please update us in a few days if gets better or worse. I just went to Deco be65 3 pack and its been awesome. Coming from Eero Pro 6 then I had the Asus Et 12 Pro
r/amazoneero • My thoughts on upgrading to Eero Max 7 (3-pack) from 2nd generation Eero (2017) ->If you're happy with your XE75s, you can keep them and buy a single additional TP Link Deco unit that supports 2.5GbE to use as the deco you connect to your WAN/cable modem/etc. Eg the XE75 Pro, BE25, BE65, etc.
r/TpLink • Good routers with 2.5gigabit ports? ->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.
r/orbi • Looking for practical differences between 770 and 970 ->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?
r/orbi • Looking for practical differences between 770 and 970 ->I have bought 3 of these and the big issue is that they don't support fast roaming. I recommend purchasing this and seeing how it goes: TP-Link Deco BE65 | BE9300 Whole Home Mesh WiFi 7 System
r/TpLink • TP-Link Tri-Band BE9300 WiFi 7 Router review ->I’m running a custom hardware 1U pfsense firewall router hardwired outside to the dmark directly with Fios 1G up/down. Their crap router never did more than 920ish. Tossed that and built the pfsense system and have hit 1130 down 1049 up doing speed tests. I was gifted two TP-Link routers.. the BE9300 and a BE9700 with its 10GbE connection. I have 3 Netgear XS708E V2 8Port 10GbE managed switches at home. Honestly, all the negative chat is moot, they work and function perfectly fine and I run them as APs at each end of the house with pfSense providing dhcp, etc. I do find their menu system to be rather annoying however once setup you rarely need to bother with them again so don’t mind. Large 5000sq/ft 2-story with basement home, 2 out buildings and 1.5 acre lot. Good signal throughout the house and decent throughout the rest of the property. Not sure if I’d have bought them myself but was more than happy to receive them and they have performed without issues.
r/HomeNetworking • Recommended good routers in 2025 ->We've just upgraded to a 900mbps plan as well and the provided router (over wi-fi only, I have nothing cabled) was giving me speeds of around 500-550. After a bit of research and crossing my fingers that I was doing the right thing I upgraded to a TP-Link BE9300. Granted this is a wi-fi 7 router but the whole house now gets between 750-900+
r/HomeNetworking • Wi-fi 6 worth it? ->One thing in wifi you need to factor in the max theorical performance is always impossible due to interference , hardware defects, and diminishing signal loss from distance . You need a lot of headroom to account that and some more because in 2025 everyone have at least 3-4 devices contesting the bandwidth. ATM there's still limited wifi NIC and routers that completely implement wifi7 features(tri-band, tri-band MLO etc) . You will pay a heft premium for top tier routers. I'd say BE6400+ routers is the sweetspot right now. If you want tri band then you need to shell out extra for BE9300+ class until new SoC that brings the price down like MTK fillogic did to wifi6
r/HomeNetworking • Which WiFi 7 Router is best Bang For Your Buck ->How big is your living area and how centralized is your placement? If it’s a 1 level apartment, I’d highly recommend shopping for an open box router. Snagged a used TP Link BE9300 for around $140 but have seen them for $120 on eBay and Amazon.
r/HomeNetworking • WiFi 7 or 6E Router Options? ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
