"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."

"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 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."

Fahad_MF 1.0TP link deco BE65 wifi 7 or ( BE85 or 95) I had Orbi and replaced it with Deco. My house is kind of big with concrete walls and I really recommend the Deco
JewelerExciting7576 1.0I have the Deco be65 wifi 7 3 pack and i am very happy with it on my 800squ block. Can reach all areas.
Low_Responsibility48 1.0I’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.
NickFje1320 1.0This router is very good. I use a BE19000 as the main router and the BE9300 as a mesh node in my room and I have never lost connection once in 1 year now. They easily provide the 1000 mbps speed I pay for in my entire house and Quest 3 had networking latency of roughly 3ms with virtual desktop. The router was placed in my gaming room so you will likely get higher latency if you use this as the main router and place it outside of the room you use the Quest 3 in.
Polsok44 1.0Please 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
qghw47QHwG72 1.0If 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.
Teenage_techboy1234 1.0I think before you do anything, you should see if you can relocate the Virgin hub to the middle floor. Seems to me that you'd get OK coverage on the first and third floors by doing that, which would fix your issue unless you need the best coverage on the first floor. Now, for your situation, I in my personal opinion believe that the Deco BE63 is the best option. I don't think it's available in the UK, I'm guessing you're based in the UK based on your service provider, so you're looking at the BE65 there which is basically just a slightly better version of the BE63, actually, a better way to look at it is that the BE63 is a slightly stripped down version of the BE65. This system supports MLO backhaul, meaning that even without a fourth dedicated backhaul band, it has similar performance with wireless backhaul as compared to having a dedicated band, and it's much better than previous systems which did not have the dedicated band. We have a four node system, and it covers our 1500 square-foot, but old and Wi-Fi hostile home too well. In fact, only two nodes would be required for the minimum coverage of our home, three would be the sweet spot, and four actually causes some problems. When you're setting the nodes up, I'd recommend slightly staggering them rather than putting them directly on top of each other.
What's wrong with your current system exactly, what model even is it? As for a budget triband Wi-Fi seven system, I can recommend the Tp-Link Deco BE65, I'd say BE63 if you were in the US, apparently it's not available outside the US. Just be warned if you have a lot of devices and don't reboot the system a lot, it can become a bit unstable, at least that's what happens with our BE63.
truemad 1.0CND is what? Canadian Dollar? Not sure where you check, but it doesn't cost $2300 Like others say, check out Deco BE63 or BE65
This price doesn't make sense. Ignore it. Buy Deco BE65 for a fraction of the price.
tweakophyte 1.0I 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?
VPrime 1.0There are a lot of firmware issues with the be65. I just spent a month with support trying to solve it (after having xe75 pro for a year with no issues). They remoted into my system created custom firmwares and still had issues with connect flapping. In the end I returned the whole setup and switched to a unifi gateway and access points and everything is working much better. I’d hold off on wifi7 for now, it’s too buggy and not enough devices support it to be worth the headache…. Though my phone gets crazy fast wifi speeds so that’s nice when I run a speed test lol.
