Deco 7 Pro Tri-Band WiFi 7 BE10000 Whole Home Mesh System 6-Stream 10 Gbps

Amazing. Had an older Deco X60 which was struggling a little bit with giving me everything I wanted out of my new AT&T Fiber 1 GB internet plan. The devices just weren't communicating well enough between the devices to pass through the speed. However, this was a game changer. Because the communication between the satellite devices is different and this is Wifi 6 and 7 I'm getting much better WiFI and my ethernet connections plugged into the satellites is FLYING...pretty much 100% pass through of the full GB. Love the app, the speed and the mesh network. Even with one of the satellites being in a detached garage and a room behind the garage the signal strength between the devices is strong. It's easy to set up and app is great. The network optimization feature I'd learned to love in the x60 is still there and works great. This would have been overkill before I got the 1 GB internet, but if you've got 1 GB and aren't seeing much faster WiFI connections this might just solve it for you. The tri-band kills it with newer devices too....my new MacBook loves the MLO feature (uses to channels at once...or something like that.)

Goodbye EERO! We have been EERO users since 2024 when our ISP (Frontier) sent us a “free” EERO 6 PRO for a $10 shipping fee. It was easy to setup and we got good, not great, performance. About 140 Mbps down and 50 Mbps up on a 500/500 system. Compared to the router it replaced we were happy. I run a home network with android phones/apple Ipads, windows computers ( 5 on W11, 1 on W10 ) , a Linux computer and 3 TVs . The EERO was easy to set up and easy to add additional nodes. Connections were never a problem with the EERO. The TVs would often buffer when we watched YouTube-TV. The android phone app used to control the EEROs has problems. The status screen, used to show the health of your EERO nodes, is terribly unreliable. Often it will show EERO nodes that are unplugged as online. We called EERO support and spent several hours debugging this problem. I had android 11 at the time but my son had android 16 and both showed the same error. EERO support wrote a ticket on this problem but we have noticed no improvement in the app since. In Feb 26, I noticed Frontier had been charging us $7/month for the “free” EERO. We called and they took it of the account and required that we ship the “free” EERO PRO 6 back to them – which we did. We were using EERO 6 non-pro nodes on our system for some time. The EERO PRO 6 ran so hot we were a little afraid of it. In mid March 26 we noticed Amazon had a EERO 7 PRO on sale for $199. We ordered that and connected it to our system. As always, it was super easy to add a new node with the EERO app. The EERO PRO 7 was getting 370 Mbps/170Mbps which seemed like a huge upgrade! We noticed in the status it was connecting on the 6Ghz network to our intel and AMD boxes. This was great! On the Linux host, it connected and did 350/320. Wow, awesome! The joy did not last long, however. Later in the day, on the intel computer I was seeing 120 / 57 again. I found it was back on the 5 GHz band. If I disconnected and reconnected. It reconnected and we were back on the 6Ghz band with great performance. Later in the day it had gone back to the 5 Ghz band along with disappointing performance. It appears the EERO are coded to go after the strongest signal even if a good signal on a super performance band is available. I read a review online of the TP-LINK DECO B3 10000. The review indicated you could set a per-device preference of the band to use for the connection. EERO does not have this! I felt this might be just what I needed. The router arrived later in the day thanks to prime! We installed the 3 node TP-LINK DECO B3 10000 in the same locations as 3 of our existing EERO nodes. The TP-LINK app is not as easy to use to install the system as the EERO app. After a couple of failed attempts we got it to install. Yea! Once you have the first node set up it is really easy to add the additional nodes. The app does let you customize the network to use for each device. Excellent! I checked the intel windows box again. It was hitting 430/420 on WiFi. Wow! Damn! We had not seen that performance before with EERO, ever! The other WiFi devices where showing good performance too. The LG/TCL TVs are no longer buffering on YouTube-TV. All of our phones were on the 6Ghz band. There was one big exception to this joy! The UBUNTU Linux 24.04 node wold not connect to the TP-LINK DECO. I suspect it was a problem with WPA3 protocol DECO uses! We tried all sorts of things but it would never work. Edit: We were able to show that it was related to WPA3 Simultaneous Authentication of Equals (SAE) or more commonly WPA Personal. We reenabled the eero 7 which uses wpa/wpa2 protocols for all bands. It connected. The TP-LINK DECO is set to only use WPA3 SAE for the 6 Ghz band. We set the preference for the device to connect any band in the DECO app as opposed to 6 Ghz. It connected immediately on the less efficient 5 Ghz band. End Edit: Wait, there are 4 Ethernet ports on the back of each TP-LINK DECO node. There is a network node ( EERO and TP-LINK) right by the Linux computer. Let me try that. It worked! The Linux box was hitting 480/470 with the Ethernet connection. The intel box, which is right next to the Linux box, hits over 500/500 when hooked up to the Ethernet cables from TP-LINK DECO. We have let it run for a couple days to see if there are gotchas. None so far. We have the winner. We are done with EERO. We are shipping the EERO PRO 7 back to Amazon tomorrow.

I upgraded from a NETGEAR Nighthawk MR60 with two satellites to the Deco BE63 3-pack, and the difference has been ridiculous. We have Optimum 1 Gig cable internet, which tests around 925–990 Mbps wired. With my old mesh, I normally saw around 500 Mbps on Wi-Fi near the main router, and one bedroom at the far end of the house was only getting about 134 Mbps down / 15 Mbps up. After installing the BE63s, I’m now seeing 900+ Mbps throughout the house. From my normal spot on my phone, my latest test was: 978 Mbps down / 36 Mbps up / 10 ms ping / 1 ms jitter. Even more impressive, one son’s PC is Ethernet connected to a BE63 satellite that uses wireless backhaul, and we’ve seen around 900–950 Mbps through it. My other son plays competitive esports (Overwatch and Siege), so I ran Ethernet backhaul from the main BE63 to the satellite in his room, then Ethernet from that satellite to his PC. He can basically pull the full gigabit connection, with 0% packet loss in our testing. We also have multiple phones, tablets, Apple TVs, Ring cameras and two gaming PCs running at the same time. The old mesh could really struggle when someone started a large game download. The BE63 has substantially more capacity and has handled our busy network extremely well so far. The four 2.5Gb Ethernet ports on every unit are also fantastic. MLO works great with compatible devices, and Deco’s Network Optimization actually found interference and improved performance after changing channels. I bought this hoping for a noticeable upgrade. I wasn’t expecting to go from 134 Mbps in the weakest area of the house to nearly gigabit speeds through the mesh. For a household with lots of devices and gamers, especially if you want Ethernet ports at your satellite locations, the BE63 has been absolutely worth it. 5/5. this thing is a beast. 😂

Final Update 2-May-2025: Okay I have grown to hate this mesh system and I seriously don't see myself purchasing another TP-Link device ever again! I suspected that the price point was good to be true and I was 100% correct. This mesh system is a hot mess and a great compilation of "unstability". It is constantly dropping connections to the Internet (it's not the ISP as they equipment remains up and running when the TP-Link is experiencing problems). This in no way compares to some of the other brands. This was supposed to be an upgrade from my two node Asus Wi-Fi 6E mesh system but now I see that was in a completely different class to this piece of junk.. Further Update: The tech support finally admitted that it was a FW issue and released a beta FW for me to upload manually and check. After successfully flashing the FW with the beta version the mesh remained up for me to confirm the new FW and that it was pushed to all three nodes. I then tried activating the VPN and encountered the same problem. I was able to deactivate the VPN but it brought my entire network is down as none of my clients remained connected to the WiFi for longer than a minute or two and they couldn't access the internet. This experience calls to question if the beta FW they gave me was properly tested suggesting that there is a lack of a proper quality assurance process. Fortunately I have a technical background so I was able to download and revert to a prior FW version, disable auto update and restore my network and get the VPN working again. I will try to exchange this mesh system but rest assured I never want to see the name TP-Link ever again!! This was truly an atrocious experience and am appalled that companies actually treat their customers in this manner and still expect to be in business.. Update after 1 month: This has to be one if the absolutely worst purchases I have ever made!! This excuse for a mesh system spends more time down than up. The VPN via my NORD subscription simply stopped working and the techs wasted my time troubleshooting when it is obvious that the issue is the router and not NORD itself as the same config works in the OpenVPN client for Windows. Every day I wake up I discover yet another reason to dislike this piece of junk.. I WILL NEVER BUY TP-LINK AGAIN AND WILL NEVER RECOMMEND THEM!! ========================= Original Review: Pros: 1. Setup is very intuitive (great App). 2. Great performance in terms of speed (wired/wireless backhaul). Cons: 1. iOT network is pointless as it's on the same VLAN (false sense of security). 2. The Guess network is pointless as it's on the same VLAN (false sense of security). 3. You cannot isolate devices on the guest network. 4. The VLAN option is tied to IPTV functionality (extremely poor design for a solution at this price point). 5. Extremely limited feature set overall 6. Not very stable and specific clients can periodically fail to connect for whatever reason until the device is rebooted. You get the feeling that it's a beta product because these same devices work fine on other routers.. At the end of the day this is a residential device! This is not a corporate or soho classified device. There is no basic firewall, there is no comprehensive DHCP reservation functionality, etc. If you are looking for a robust, secure and feature rich solution look elsewhere - this is NOT the solution.. Also, all of a sudden, the VPN no longer works with no change in configuration. Support was useless as he kept telling me that the issue was with Nord and hence never really listened.. Meanwhile the exact same config file works on an Asus router with no issues.. I cannot recommend this mesh set. It's simply not a quality product!

Great little product. Not top of the line, but extremely capable and provides the connectivity I need. The sustained transfer rates far exceed the numbers I saw on my old router/extender setup. The main unit is in the basement at the POP for my ONT. One unit on the ground floor at the entertainment center. One unit in my ground floor office. Both satellite units are wired backhaul to the main unit and run over Cat5e in the walls and Cat6 custom made jumpers I make myself. Transitions between satellite units are seamless for the end devices. As we walk around, our wireless devices choose the nearest unit. I regularly see sustained speeds of 300 Mb to 700 Mb on wireless. The computers connected by ethernet cable and wired switches benchmark at 950 Mb to 975 Mb. I was careful to rename the SSID for the private and guest networks to those on my old router and ever device in my house connected immediately. The WiFi rates are similar in the second floor bedrooms. The iPhone interface is a bit clunky and I would prefer a web based, full featured interface. But, after a bit of a learning curve, it works well enough. For me, the installed defaults were suitable and the better overall performance far surpasses any inconvenience of the phone based interface.

I had an older TP Link Archer router that worked well for a small apartment, but was struggling in a single family home with 3 floors. I didn’t really want to run Ethernet to every floor, so I tried the Deco system to see if it would at least improve the signal. The setup was very easy (just plug in the routers, connect one to the modem, and use Bluetooth to set it up via the app). I noticed a dramatic performance improvement. Previously, I would get 300 Mbps right next to the router on the 5ghz band, but it would drop to 30 in some corners of the house, with a spotty signal. Now, I consistently get 300 in every room, and the ping has somehow improved as well. I’m seriously impressed that this was able to solve all of my problems with no extra wiring, and it’s good to know that I can add an Ethernet backbone later on if I choose to.

I bought this mesh system to cover my 3100 sq. ft. home, connected to a 1.1 Gbps internet service through a cable modem. Setup was straightforward, and the two satellites connected automatically once I had the first unit set up. Performance is great, I get the full 1.1 Gbps download speed even over WiFi or on hardwired connections to the satellites when I'm nearby to one of the nodes. Coverage is great everywhere in the house, with high speeds even away from the router and satellite nodes. Also, the white cylindrical units are nice looking (no spider-like routers!). The only thing I'm not crazy about is the requirement to use the app for all system administration. There's a web page on the unit acting as router, but it only gives system status. Using the app requires going through a TP-Link server, I'd prefer being able to do all the system administration directly on the router rather than depend on an external server.

I purchased this product seven weeks ago, and the setup went smoothly. Last night, my wireless devices lost connectivity, and I couldn’t determine the cause. I contacted TP-Link support, and the agent emailed me a walkthrough guide for setting up the system again. However, she didn’t clearly explain that I needed to start over with a new network setup. I was confused and called back. This time, I was assisted by Irisdianne. She walked me through the new network setup and ensured my system was functioning properly. Her assistance made the experience smooth and pain-free. I truly appreciated her knowledge and calm demeanor, which made the process so easy.

Easy to set up, app connects quickly, and the speeds are top notch. Probably the best option for the price.

La mejor inversión que pude haber hecho solucionó todos mis problemas lo utilizo en una casa de 3 pisos y me funciona excelente

Love these things. I set these up as a mesh system for the ground floor, which doesn't have any router signal. Just connect one of them by Ethernet, then let the rest repeat off of that. You'll get great coverage for the entire ground floor. Also, setup is super easy as TP-Link has a great app for this. Thinking of buying another pack just to extend coverage even more.

Fácil de instalar y funciona perfecto. Muy buena opción

un poco caro pero vale la pena
