TP-Link - Deco BE75 BE17000 Tri-Band Whole Home Mesh WiFi 7 System

I would get * TP-Link Deco BE75 * 1 covers around 2,500 sq. ft depends on walls and placement, so you need at least 2 if you want to cover the garage too. * you will need 3-4 if you really want to cover like large area outside your house, I would place them near windows, and it will reach really far outside. * https://www.tp-link.com/us/deco-mesh-wifi/product-family/deco-be75/ * https://www.amazon.com/TP-Link-Deco-BE75-AI-Roaming-2-Pack/dp/B0CQMH8T7P yes its higher price, but it supports * 3 x 2.5 Ports * 1 x 10 Port * 1 x SFP+ Port / FIBER Internet Down the road, you can install FIBER on it, future proof, pay more now, save lots of money later. # People are going to tell you to run CAT6E cables all over the house and drill holes in walls and do all this work, Wi-Fi Technology has advanced way pass this, trust me when I say this, you wont notice the difference, the speed you will get its near what you get from ISP direct cable connection. Yes you will get better speed "reliability" with wired connection, but you wont really notice the difference over Wi-Fi XD It really depends how your house is build, you wont really know if you have to run CAT6E or not until you test 2 Decos and connection speeds.

You dont have to do wired backhaul at all if you dont want to. Been running a three node mesh wirelessly for a couple years. (Linksys MX8500 6E). Main Node (Router) in my Office on far end of the hose. One node halfway down the basement stairs on a ledge in the Middle of the house, and one node in the far corner of the dining room on the other end. Tons of IOT devices, multiple streaming TV's, Console, and I work from Home on VPN all day. My PC gets 950Mbps download, all the IOT works great, all TV's work great streaming. Get a good three node mesh and you will be fine. It works better if the two satellite nodes are about the same distance away from the main node and not in a line (think star connection instead of linear hops). Wireless mesh was designed for wireless backhaul. YES there are advantages to wired backhaul, but you dont need it. Anyone on here that had horrible experiences either didnt know what they were doing, had walls made out of concrete and steel, or had a POS mesh. Go with a Wi-Fi 7 Mesh...BE63 is cheap and works great after F/W updates. If you can swing it, get the better tier BE67/68 or even step up to the BE77.

To get full speed out of an access point it needs to be tethered back to the main box via Ethernet cable. You CAN tether it via wifi but you'll give up 50% of your speed (and use up a wifi band for the back haul). I've got a wifi 6 two piece mesh system now and I'm getting poor speed in the back bedroom. I bought a TP-Link BE17000 system and found it was COMPLETE CRAP. WARNING DO NOT BUY. I have to think the reviews I read were paid for. Not only did I get worse speed (after all the updates) but it only provides a phone app - no webpage interface, and the app is broken. Sent it back and fought with them (and Amazon) for more than a month to get my money back. I really have always liked ASUS so I started looking into them. I read more forums (after the last experience) and there were too many complaints along the lines of "Wifi 7 is not ready for prime time - so many bugs". So I moved on. I've been looking at Ubiquity, and I really like what I see... just haven't had any time to get it done. I can run a long ethernet chord from the tv corner of the living room over to the kitchen, angle the access point on a 45 degree angle to cover the living room but also run down the hallway to the bedrooms. I'll put another access point at the end of the hall, accept the 50% speed hit for connecting by wifi, and cover the bedroom. Dunno if this idea will work, and I'd still want some extender in the other direction in the bedroom to also cover the ensuite... but I've not got this figured out yet. I've reviewed the software interface in youtube videos and I quite like what I see. I'll probably aim for a 6e system, not a 7, but if it delivers anywhere close to claimed speed then I'll be laughing. My in is 1000Mbps and I'm getting anywhere from 150Mbps to 300Mbps (depending on the time of day, the humidity, how I hold my tongue)... which really sucks imo. What gives me pause is that I did hook up my current system so that one unit was covering the livingroom and the second was in the hallway outside my bedroom (ie. no walls in between them) and my wifi 6 system was still giving me 150Mbps in the bedroom. I'd really hate to spend all this money and get no better performance. From everything I've read, the typical Wifi 7 system out on the market is running some pretty sketching software, and it's best to be really skeptical with any vendor speed claims. Thus, I'd say buy Ubiquity. Try to buy the best and TEST TEST TEST everything.

I use a mesh system and it is great. But it depends now on what you want to spend, I use a TP Link WiFi 7 mesh system, but there are many options. If you live in a small place you might not need a mesh network.

I highly recommend the [TP-Link Wi-Fi 7 Tri-Band Mesh System](https://www.reddit.com/user/unwelcome_frown15/comments/1jxaza0/mesh_wifi_system_recommendations/). It offers blazing fast speeds, low latency, and rock-solid coverage, great for large homes or demanding smart setups. Future-proof too with Wi-Fi 7 support.

Are you gaming on wifi? Maybe look for a gaming wifi made by Asus or Tp-Link. Or I use Tp-Link mesh wifi 7. I’ve never had a problem as far as losing connection or a drop in speeds.

Eh whatever works. If you have an unfinished basement you can run it through there easily. Anyhow, back to your question: assuming you’re not super technically inclined and don’t want to drop a ton of cash, the tp link deco WiFi 7 system (BE) should serve you well for a long time. You probably only need two nodes but you’ll want them both to be wired - so wire the further node back to the node that plugs into your ONT. That way they’ll give identical performance without having to worry about whether they can communicate over WiFi (which would dock performance anyhow). If you’re technically minded and want to spend way more, ubiquiti

Easy solution is a out of the box mesh system. Im running the wifi 7 deco system with no issues in my 1900 built house. If we plan on staying long term, I will 100% run Ethernet across the house, but that will require a ton of chopping stuff up.

I been using from Tp Link - Deco. It’s for Wi-Fi 7..

I got the Deco Wi-Fi 7 mesh and usually see 800+ on my devices except for devices that are only using the wireless backhaul. I’ve been very happy with it. Believe it is app only admin though. In my head, the wireless back haul is only done on 2.4 GHz so it would be limited throughput regardless of vendor. I think Unify is probably the leader for this , Orbi is probably a close second. Unless you want to get slightly complicated and use Fortinet.
