Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have been planning to upgrade my older WIFI 5 wireless network to WIFI 7. I now have a couple of handheld Wi-Fi 7 gaming devices and I also plan on upgrading my cell phone soon which will also then be Wi-Fi 7 capable. Later this year I also hope to replace my VR headset. It will also be WIFI 7 capable. The TP Link Deco BE3600 Mesh WIFI System should be a perfect match for what I want to do. The Deco is a 3-Pack system so I expect to make quite an improvement over my current system. The Deco BE3600 actually has a higher rated throughput than my current internet service supports. Along with better overall WIFI i coverage I am also hoping to keep the access times low. This will be very important for wireless VR. Setting up the Deco BE3600 was probably the easiest router setup I have experienced. I am using the Deco phone app on Android. You plug in the first device and connect through your phone's Bluetooth. Once the Deco device is found you connect your cable modem to the BE3600 and follow the instructions. If you are ready with a wireless name and password that’s about it. If you have any issues during the setup you can always start over. There is a reset button on the bottom of each device where you can do a complete reset if needed. Device resets are also supported in the Deco software. The initial setup took less than 15 minutes and the internet was back up. The other two devices are then connected to power and the first device connects to them automatically. I do recommend you be patient. It was a few minutes before the other devices reported they were connected. The WIFI system has been rock solid for the week it's been in service. In my home network I also have a mix of wired devices. The first or master Deco BE360 is located in a far bedroom closet. All of my network connections originate from there. The Deco BE360 has two wired Lan connections. In my setup one is dedicated to the cable modem and the other to a network switch. This adds all of my wired connections to the Deco BE360 router. To transition from an older WIFI system and to be back up and running so fast was fantastic. Walking through my two story house I am getting a solid download speed for the maximum my internet service supports. My wired Lan clients also are connected at their fastest speeds. As a busy person I am very satisfied with the performance and ease of use the TP Link Deco BE3600 Mesh WIFI System provides. Overall I rate this as a very good value for a Wi-Fi 7 router and should provide years of service.

The Deco whole home mesh Wi-Fi 7 system has redefined my home network experience. Managing a tech-savvy smart home with countless connected devices has always been a challenge, but this system has truly impressed me with its effortless setup, great performance, and thoughtful design. Ease of setup: Setting up this system was an absolute breeze. TP-Link has nailed the process, making it accessible even for those less familiar with networking technology. After downloading the new Deco app, it was as simple as scanning a QR code and accepting the default settings. The entire setup process took less than 20 minutes, seamlessly replacing my older router. I appreciated the app's intuitive design and step-by-step guide. Everything needed for setup was included in the box, making the process entirely hassle-free. Speed & Performance : The performance of this system is good. With blazing WiFi 7 speeds, I’m now experiencing the full bandwidth I pay for, even at greater distances from the router. Streaming 4K and 8K content is now smooth and buffer-free, and online gaming is lag-free and seamless. One standout feature is Multi-Link Operation (MLO), which significantly reduces latency and boosts reliability. Whether I'm video conferencing, cloud gaming, or casually browsing, the system handles all tasks with ease. This upgrade has transformed my home network into a high-speed powerhouse. Wired & Wireless flexibility : The dual 2.5 Gbps wired ports are great for tasks that require maximum speed. These ports provide 2.5x the speed of standard gigabit ports, making them ideal for connecting gaming consoles, NAS drives, or desktops. At the same time, the wireless network is a beast, effortlessly supporting smartphones, tablets, and IoT devices. The ability to combine wireless and wired backhauls simultaneously ensures that performance remains consistent and reliable, even when all units are running at full capacity. Flawless connectivity everywhere : The AI-driven roaming feature gives uninterrupted connectivity as I move throughout my home. My devices automatically switch to the strongest signal without missing a beat. This is especially useful in larger homes with over 3000 sqft or setups with multiple floors, where dead zones can be a common issue. With this system, connectivity has been flawless everywhere in my home. Overall, this mesh WiFi 7 system is a powerful, future-proof investment for anyone looking to upgrade their home network. With blazing-fast speeds, solid security, and excellent roaming features, it's an ideal solution for modern households, gamers, remote workers or home offices. If you’re ready for Wi-Fi like never before, this system is a must-have.

I have set up multiple mesh systems over the years, both in my own home and for friends and family. TP-Link has always had a competent app, and the setup of their mesh networks has always been straightforward and quick to do. You simply need to follow the prompts in the app, and it will guide you through the whole process without much fuss. I was excited to see a 3 pack Wifi7 system hit the market at such a reasonable price. When Wifi7 systems first released, they were definitely priced as premium products. Now these systems are available at typical consumer prices, and that's great to see. This TP-Link system has been great so far. I upgraded from an older Wifi5 system that I was testing to this one, and the difference was impressive. These mesh networks are great additions to most households, and while they really shine with a higher tier gigabit internet connection, they also work well for lower speed internet service while providing excellent coverage and wifi signal throughout your home. I highly recommend this system for anyone that wants performance without breaking the bank.

As a TP-Link Wi-Fi 6 mesh system user, I was excited to receive, test and review TP-Link's latest Wi-Fi 7 mesh system, the BE6300 3-pack. The TP-Link BE6300 Mesh Wi-Fi 7 System features 4-stream GBPS with 160 channels that cover up to 6,500 square feet, has 2 x 2.5gb wired back-haul ports along with VPN, MLO, AI roaming and Home Shield (3 pack.) It also provides wide coverage with ultra-fast wired performance, is backward compatible with all Wi-Fi generations and all internet service providers. I found it very easy to replace my older TP-Link Wi-Fi 6 system with these new TP-Link Wi-Fi 7 devices. The existing power plugs work just fine with these new devices, I was able to continue using my old network password saving a lot of setup and updating time. It was as close to plug and play as possible! Speed and coverage is noticeably better. The TP-Link BE6300 system is very strong, fast and stable even with almost 100 devices connected throughout the house. (TP-Link says up to 150 devices recommend this TP-Link Mesh 7 BE6300 3-pack system to you.

Having owned and used a Deco WiFi system before installing this one, I sort of already knew what to expect with this product. My old system was WiFi 6, had no issues ever, and out performed my Linksys system. When I saw that TP-Link released the WiFi 7, I was excited to get my hands on it and see what changed from the old to the new! Setup went OK... I did hit some snags while trying to set it up. First, after setting up the Deco and getting it configured, I then proceeded to re-wire it to be plugged into a dummy switch on my desk as I have other Ethernet connected devices on my desk that go beyond the 1 available ethernet port on the main Deco. However, when I plugged the Deco into the switch, it did not know what to do and confused the MAC address for the switch as the MAC for the Deco and caused chaos on the network. It was just counting all devices in the switch as 1 and mislabeling them. Eventually I was able to get it sorted after much trial and error, but perhaps that is a bug that they should look into. After that, the rest of the Decos were easy to setup, just plug it in and thats it! I really like how this new product has new features such as the IOT network. I have always wanted a separate network for my IOT devices as I do not want them consuming bandwidth on my regular network, well this Deco does that! It can create a separate IOT network that you can then rejoin your devices to and also perform automations with it. The speed and performance is outstanding, on my iPhone 15 Pro, I am getting 600mbps down and 35 up with Spectrum internet (600/30). With over 35 devices connected across the 3 decos, there is never a slowdown, can run multiple 4k streams, work, play games, browse the internet, etc without issue. The network congestion tool on the app is useful when you have slowdowns due to channel congestion. Really, the app in general is just great, the amount of functionality from a mobile app for a wireless mesh system is quite impressive. I appreciate the robustness and customizability for someone who is more tech savvy. The only complaint I have is that the 3rd Deco that resides in my garage, even though it shows a medium-strong strength, it definitely struggles to perform when doing mundane tasks like browsing the web, but there is a significant amount of concrete in the way so I get it, but I feel like the signal on my older Deco was stronger than this new one, perhaps that is the case, cheaper signal parts? Not sure, but not the end of the world. This is a great, cheap, entry level WiFi 7 mesh system that will satisfy the non-technical and the tech savvy.

I was excited for a good priced, WiFi 7 solution that would bring faster speeds to my Wifi 7 enabled devices. Sadly, the TP-Link Deco BE3600 didn't deliver. First, let's start with the good. The setup for the mesh system was pretty straight forward and easy. After downloading the Deco app, just plug in and setup each of the nodes. The app guides you through each step to get your WiFi system up and running without much hassle. The size of the nodes was also a plus. Not super tall like some systems, you can easily place each node in an area and it doesn't take up a lot of room. After using the system for a week, I must admit I am not impressed. The speeds are not any better than my old WiFi 6 system was delivering. That I could probably be OK with as it is more bandwidth than what I need for 4k streaming, etc., if it wasn't for the other two issues I continue to experience. The handoff from node to node as you move around your house is abysmal. Devices continue to drop WiFi completely as you move around and the device tries to connect to the best node. So you will have WiFi, you move around, WiFi drops for a bit (seconds to minutes), then reconnects as it finds another Node. Not close to the seamless handoff experience TP-Link promises. Secondly, I find a number of my IoT devices continually disconnect from WiFi. As an example, I have a smart lock that I had zero issues with before on my old mesh solution. Not once did it disconnect from WiFi. Since setting up the BE3600 system, it drops WiFi connects multiple times a day. In the end, I will be returning to my WiFi 6 mesh solution as the TP-Link BE3600 falls very short in delivering. If you need stable and worry free WiFi, avoid the system at all costs.

In the box are 3 DECO BE25 units with power cord/plug, one Ethernet cable and a quick installation guide. First Impression - I like the round shaped units and it looks so much better than my previous rectangle and tower shaped router units. They are a little taller than I expected (I was hoping that they would be a little more flat) but they are smaller than my previous systems, so that is a HUGE perk. One of the good things I like about the smaller sized unit is the two Ethernet plugs on the back. Our previous unit only had one so now, we downsize all of the cords going to main system and my daughter who has multiple devices in her room can now have two devices plugged into the Ethernet ports. Disclaimer, We have a 6 rooms with at least 3 electronic wireless devices and at least 1 Ethernet ported device (7 rooms if you count our front loading washer and dryer that also connects to the WiFi.) I was definitely excited to get this product to test out the connectivity when one or more rooms are using electronic devices since the previous system would buffer constantly when playing online games or watching a streaming service on multiple devices. Installation - The installation was pretty easy - all I had to do was completely remove my old nodes and plugged in the new nodes and download the app and I was still able to use my previous names and passwords as the old system. This only took about 10-15 minutes. The app is very useful. One of the best things is getting a notification when a new device is using the wifi. I am able to remove, segregate or even not allow the device to get on streaming services using the app (parental controls). I basically learn something new every time I access the app. Connectivity - (Disclaimer - I live in an older house and I am not sure how old the outside wiring is. I pay for 600M cable internet with my local cable provider. I checked my download a couple of times an I got 452 down and 20-22 up. For our household, this is way better than our previous router system.) So far, I have been able to get way better connectivity with using multiple devices in the same room. Before, I was not able to stream on my TV and use other devices in the same room without my TV constantly going in to buffer mode. One of the days, I had 3 phones, 5 tablets (2 of the tablets were streaming) and something streaming on my TV and there was no buffering. Overall, this was the perfect upgrade for our family and I would definitely recommend to friends and family.

It works way more better than my stock router/modem. A smarter choice instead of getting a wifi repeater. WORTH EVERY PENNY. I finally have the full wifi speed that my provider gives in every room
