A:Answer Hi, I'm looking at these two items as well. The one sold by BB is the BE-65 Pro, and the other one is the BE65 (non-Pro). I've found the following information:
Both systems include the following features:
* Up to 11 Gbps Tri-Band WiFi
* Wireless and wired combined backhaul
* Multi-Link Operation (MLO) - Sends and receives data across different bands and channels to increase throughput, reduce latency, and improve reliability
* 320 MHz channels
* 6 GHz band (in addition to 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz)
* TP-Link HomeShield (security, parental controls, etc.)
These are the main difference that I've found between the non-Pro and the BE65 Pro:
1. The non-Pro model houses 4x 2.5 Gbps ports per device, while the BE65 Pro houses 2x 5 Gbps ports and 1x 2.5 Gbps port per device
This is the biggest difference I can find. If you have (or expect to have) incoming Internet service of greater than 2.5 Gbps, then I would avoid the non-Pro system.
2. The reported max speeds break down as follows:
BE65 Pro: 11 Gbps Tri-Band WiFi – 5764 Mbps (6 GHz) + 4324 Mbps (5 GHz) + 688 Mbps (2.4 GHz)
BE65: 11 Gbps Tri-Band WiFi – 5760 Mbps (6 GHz) + 4320 Mbps (5 GHz) + 574 Mbps (2.4 GHz)
In conclusion, it is really up to your needs which will be better for you. If you don't have super fast speeds coming in, the non-Pro version should suit you fine. If your internet speed is higher than 2.5 Gbps, you will want to get the Pro so that you can enjoy your full speed that you pay for.
