- General
- Brand: TP-Link
- Model Number: Deco BE3600(3-Pack)
- Product Name: Deco BE3600 Dual-Band WiFi 7 Mesh System 3-Pack
- Color: White
- Security
- Data Encryption: true
- Encryption Type: WPA3 (The security protocols or certification programs that protect the Wi-Fi network.)
- Firewall Type: SPI (The method the firewall uses to filter and process data to increase network security, primarily by blocking malicious traffic requests while allowing legitimate traffic through.)
- Parental Controls: true (Allows user to block unwanted content, signals, channels, networks, etc. from being received or accessed.)
- Network
- Quality Of Service (QoS) Traffic Prioritization: true (Allows a user to manage a device's network performance by configuring the types of traffic that receive top priority for transmission. High priority functions and applications receive maximum network performance, while low priority traffic receives minimum performance.)
- Band Technology: Dual (Refers to the number of frequency bands used to wirelessly transmit an internet signal. For example, dual-band devices may use one 2.4 and one 5 GHz band, while tri-band devices may use one 2.4 and two 5 GHz bands. Multiple bands also provide more flexibility for designating connected devices to specific band use.)
- Ethernet Standard: 10/100/1000 (Each standard is a variation of the IEEE 802.3 set of computer networking technologies known as Ethernet. New versions evolved to include higher bandwidth, different physical media, and other new and improved features. Standards are often denoted by speeds (in Megabits per second). For example, a 10/100/1000 Ethernet port transmits at 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, and 1000 Mbps (1 Gbps).)
- Number Of Connected Devices: 150
- Number of Antennas: 4
- Frequency Band: 2.4 GHz, 5.0 GHz (Bands may be grouped into categories such as low- and high-band VHF (Very High Frequency), low- and high-band UHF (Ultra High Frequency), or certain frequency channels (measured in MHz or GHz). Generally, higher frequencies transmit information faster but have shorter range than lower frequencies.)
- Wireless Networking Standard: Wi-Fi 7 (The wireless networking standard used by the device. Each iteration of the standard developed by the Wi-Fi Alliance corresponds to an existing IEEE 802.11 protocol; for example, standard 802.11ac (or AC) is termed Wi-Fi 5. Refers specifically to the standard the device is designed to use, but ultimately determines product interoperability and backward compatibility including previous versions.)
- Wireless Standard: BE, AX, AC, N (The wireless networking protocol used by the device. Each iteration of the protocol is based on the 802.11 standard developed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Standards Association. Denoted by letters following 802.11 (802.11a, 802.11ac, etc.), each version, published in alphabetical order, encompasses all previous versions.)
- Wi-Fi Range: 6500 square feet (The device will provide a Wi-Fi connection to this approximate area.)
- Input/Output Technology: MU-MIMO (Multi-user Multiple-Input Multiple Output) (Generally, multiple-input multiple-output communication technologies allow for more signals to be transmitted at a single time, which can improve the device's overall performance.)
- Number of 2.4Ghz Streams: 2 (A router's streams are like lanes on a highway. The more streams a router has, the less traffic congestion. Because the 2.4 GHz band is used to transmit wireless signals to a wide variety of devices, there is often high amounts of traffic on that stream. But with multiple streams, each can be designated to a specific device for optimal performance. For example, if one 2.4 GHz stream is assigned to one device, such as a desktop computer, it leaves the remaining streams open for guest users, devices that use more data, or devices with specific band compatibility.)
- Number of 5.0Ghz Streams: 2 (A router's streams are like lanes on a highway. The more streams a router has, the less traffic congestion. The 5.0 GHz band provides high speed, short-range data transmission and typically has less traffic than the 2.4 GHz band. With multiple streams, each can be designated to a specific device for optimal performance. For example, if one 5.0 GHz stream is assigned to one device, such as a streaming media player, it leaves the remaining streams open for guest users, devices that need less data, or devices with specific band compatibility.)
- Wi-Fi Mesh System: true (A single wireless network consisting of a main router (connected directly to a modem) that connects to a series of satellite modules or nodes placed around the home. Routers with this capability promote stronger, faster wireless signals as well as increase Wi-Fi coverage by reducing interference and eliminating dead zones.)
- Number of Wi-Fi Satellites Included: 3 (Quantity of Wi-Fi satellite modules/nodes for a Wi-Fi Mesh System that come with the product.)
- Number of Wi-Fi Satellites Supported: 3 (Maximum quantity of Wi-Fi satellite modules/nodes that are able to be connected to the main router in a Wi-Fi Mesh System.)

Amazing router
The TP-Link Deco Mesh WiFi system delivers strong, reliable, and seamless internet coverage throughout your home or office. With a sleek, modern design and simple setup via the Deco app, it’s user-friendly even for those less tech-savvy. The mesh system ensures smooth handoff between nodes, eliminating dead zones and providing consistent speeds across multiple rooms and floors. Performance-wise, it handles high-bandwidth activities like 4K streaming and online gaming with ease, even when multiple devices are connected. The parental controls, device prioritization (QoS), and antivirus protection via TP-Link HomeCare are valuable features for families and power users alike. However, some advanced users may find the customization options limited compared to standalone routers. Also, while the app is convenient, it does require a TP-Link account to manage the system. Overall, the TP-Link Deco is an excellent choice for most users looking to upgrade to a mesh system — offering great coverage, good speed, and a clean, easy-to-use interface at a competitive price.

This mesh system covers for the most part.
We got this Mesh to.try to get better coverage without having to set up extenders. We installed it a couple weeks ago and so far it has not disappointed. It was easy to set up as well. The only thing that i wish was better explained in the description is that while it says it covers 6500+ sq feet that does not take into account walls and such. We are in a ~1250 sq ft house with the main unit fairly centered and it would not cover to the garage due to walls.

Very satisfied with it’s performance
Once connected, this mesh delivered upon its promise of better signals across my home. My ring cameras went from being full of pixels that took a while to clear to crisp clear once the mesh got set up. Even though the instructions included are clear, I recommend watching videos on You Tube on how to connect.
