I’m getting a buffering issues at 1GB. It seems like the range is a real problem with this setup.

I have only owned this since January. Twice in the last 2 months, the main router has gone to a solid red light overnight. I have tried troubleshooting and ultimately had to delete the Deco app from my phone because it wouldnt let me delete the network. Once I was able to delete the network, I had to set everything up again and it worked for a month before doing the same thing. I’m currently on my second attempt to reset the network. I cant get the Deco app to recognize the main Deco unit so I can create a new network. This is terribly frustrating. I confirmed with my ISP that the modem and internet are functioning and the issue is entirely related to the Deco routers. Would not recommend

Need to restart manually all routers at least twice a week, regretting not to buy a reliable brand like Eero not sure if they will go to the trash on the near future. Not recommended at all.

Save your money and invest in other wifi 7 mesh systems. I was dumb enough to give this product a 2nd chance seeing it on sale. Consistent buffering issues, unreliable connectivity left my security camras randomly going offline. Range is poor. This item really needs work, don’t think its ready for the main consumer market yet.

These are not Ready for prime time. Wireless works great until you introduce a switch to the mix on any of the routers. This causes the routers to become unstable and any connection to the switch to become unstable. I was unable to get a switch working with these. Would not recommend buying yet.

Did not work for me, but i could have been my sevice provider.

Uniform speed throughout my 3500 sqft home with wireless backhaul

Worst Wi-Fi system definitely was not worth the money that I spent on it. Easy to set up though very very slow. Two TVs couldn’t run at the same time even hardwired was a little sketchy.

Just received to replace Google Pro due to being on sale and WiFi 7. Web UI is mininal at best, guess by design. The two units are supposed to be able to do 5800sq ft. I just dont see it, one of my outside camera keeps going off line. The app interface is better then the GUI, but still lacks that prosumer level. For the price level and to be a "PRO" product just isn't ready. Can't justify expense of this. Will be returning as soon as I can.

I’m replacing a Wifi 6 mesh network because I just couldn’t get the full range of connectivity and speeds that I needed around my house. Our house is 2500 sq/ft but I also need coverage in my yard because of my cameras and times when I need wifi for streaming videos or music, also more of my new devices are supporting Wifi 6e and higher connections now. Setup was very simple, you just need the Deco app and it walks you through it. You do need a TP Link account to setup and manage your network which I’m not a big fan of, I think end-users should have full control of their own hardware without needing to be tied to the manufacturer’s account database. I ran both my old mesh network and new mesh network side by side to get a good comparison of range. Typically when a wireless network detect another network it’ll use different channels to avoid any interference between both networks. They also offer a built-in Network Optimization feature within the app that will allow you to manually scan and automatically fix frequency and channel issues for you. The overall results….were better by decent amount. I went to the 4 corners of my lot (about ¼ acre), and compared internet speeds between both networks. I noticed around a 40-70% increase in internet speeds. There are still many options I have yet to attempt to use within the Deco app to adjust for setting improvements. I did use the MLO feature to use multiple frequencies at once with a device, but I’m not sure if my phone is compatible with it, but seems to be a great feature. There’s also a feature that dedicates the 6GHz frequency to be used for the access point communication only (aka your wifi nodes), basically disabling MLO and devices being able to use it, but if your mesh node locations are right, could definitely provide much higher throughput. Switching between my old mesh network and new one was really simple, just use the same SSID and password as before and all your home devices should be able to connect automatically. The Deco app lets you set notifications when new devices join the network to confirm they are switching over. It is also able to detect some Smart Devices on my network and have them categorized within the app. There is a nice list of options to really customize your network, especially if you are more advanced than the average user in network setup. So the app is built well in my opinion. Additional features include Block listing clients or allowing only certain clients to connect to your network, network isolation allowing sensitive devices not being able to be accessed from your main network, create a Camera Mode options for your home cameras, and allows you limited access to Parental Controls and other Security options without the premium subscription. The list of features goes on, but so far I’m really enjoying the TP Link Wifi 7 Mesh network. Oh, and once you do the main setup on the first Deco node/access point, all you do is power up the others and they automatically sync to one another….very easy. This Wifi 7 system is also a better price point at others I’ve seen recently released, so I think it holds a lot more value. And with the new Wifi 7 technology and the added 2.5 & 5Gbps compatibility, this system will hopefully future proof your network for many years. I’m currently on Gigabit speeds but now I’m looking to upgrade for higher network speeds as I do a lot of data transfers within my home network. I do highly recommend this system.

Set Up Experience Setting up the TP-Link User Account was very difficult as the verification code always arrived after the time out. Some how it finally worked and I was set up. Down loaded the app and started on my journey. Setting up the mesh was just the opposite. Very easy and super quick. This breathed new life into my network. Noticed TV’s, Phones, Laptops, Printers, streaming devices all working at fast speeds. Performed a speed Test and was satisfied with the results. User Interface Kudos to TP-Link for allowing the user to tweak the network. The preferred WiFi band Is set to auto, However, I could change the router preferred band to my preferred band If desired. You can do this for each individual device! The choices are 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz and 6 GHz. Providing that the device being changed supports the selected band otherwise Just let the router choose the correct band and it does a good job of selecting the correct one. You can also select which node you want your device connected to so if your in another room with no node, you can change which node to connect to if desired. Other brands that I own do not allow this. As with all routers these days, you can give a particular device high priority such as a TV for streaming so you have the best possible performance and connection. You can add smart devices and control them from the TP-Link Deco App. Such as a Smart thermostat etc… Added Benefits TP-Link also offers a security upgrade for a better watch dog experience to keep hackers Out. It is a paid subscription. Upgrades are Security+ Web Protection, Intrusion prevention and IoT Protection. All start with a free trial. There is Parental Controls so you can dictate internet content and time on the internet. You can also turn the nodes led lighting off completely or set a desired off and on time. You can set up USB sharing. Each node has a USB port. Another available feature is being Able to add a VPN server in the app. You can also change how you want the router to roam For devices. Summary I find this to be a feature packed, well organized mesh package. Very happy with the performance and usability of this System. The App is also very easy to navigate.

This has been a nightmare. I had an older TP link 5400 6e that stopped working so I bought this one. I set everything up and placed the satellite s in the exact same places and it is so much slower. I disconnected the satellite from the bedroom and the tv in there runs better on the run in the office. The whole system is slow and was much better before. I have Spectrum internet with 1g service and they came out to confirm that the old router was bad. I hope to exchange it.

The TP Link BE11000 mesh system is incredible. We have a two-story house and getting a solid connection to all the upstairs rooms was always difficult. We have used mesh systems before and this one is the best we have used. Setup is very simple using the Deco app. The app is so good and easy to navigate. Just follow the instructions on your phone and it will have you up and running very quickly. It will notify you if you need to update firmware and I strongly recommend doing that once all your Deco's are connected. The update process is very easy and quick. I also recommend naming your network the same as your previous network and keeping the same password. That way all your smart stuff can connect without having to go to each "internet of things" device and reconnect it. Coverage is excellent throughout our entire house and we haven't experienced any drops or disconnects like we did with our last mesh router. The design, build quality and packaging are all top notch as well. The Deco's are MUCH smaller than our last router and they blend in nicely with everything. I did initially have an issue with a game I was playing on PC. I could not connect to the in-game shop in Overwatch. I ended up having to restart the router a couple times and that cleared everything up. So, if you run into any issues with anything just give the system a reboot. It may help. Overall, I definitely recommend this amazing mesh router. The coverage and ease of use are excellent!

does not work with starlink and out of return period, ill be buying from amazon from here on

Super easy to setup, finally no dead spots in the house and we get the gigabit bandwidth we pay for.

Most unreliable wifi router I have ever had. I have to restart the Wi-Fi mesh quite frequently.

This is the first mesh system I have set up where I was done with the process in less than 20 minutes AND it actually worked correctly after that 20 minutes and within 20 percent of my fiber speed in rooms with router or satellites. This is also the first mesh system I was able to set up entirely with the App AND have it work correctly. Sure, there are quite a few things to fine tune things in the App like Network Optimization, choose whether you want to reserve the 6ghz band for backhaul only and the like, but it really "just worked" after the setup was done. I don't have any WiFi 7 clients (that I know of), but this setup has helped my WiFi 6E gear really get higher speeds wirelessly. I got my near full fiber bandwidth plugged into the router (as you would expect), but I also got within 5 percent of my full fiber bandwidth using my WiFi 6E laptop sitting in the same room as the router, sitting in the same room as satellite 1, and sitting in the same room as satellite 2 (after further tweaking and optimizing). That has never happened before, and I'm guessing I owe that to 1) this is my first WiFi 6E or WiFi 7 capable Mesh system I have tried and 2) the excellent performing wireless backhaul. I like the option to hook it up wired backhaul and wireless at the same time and it will use whatever is best, but if I was using wired backhaul, I'd just use good Access Points instead, they are far cheaper. I'm very happy with the way this wireless backhaul handles the materials in my home, when a signal killer floor between my basement and ground level main area causes problems, I can just tell it to use the other satellite for its signal instead of the router, or leave it on Auto for it to figure it out on its own. I'm very happy with this three pack, and when a single unit is available, I'll get one to extend to my garage/workshop area. I recommend this for fiber speed service 1gig up/down and above.

Works great. My internet speeds went up 5x what they were before

Amazingly fast Wi-Fi packed with all kinds of features and technology. In the box is 3 mesh Wi-Fi nodes with power cables and a single ethernet. Connecting them was easy. You can download the intuitive Deco app which will help you get each one setup. It was as simple as unplugging my old router and plugging up my new one to the modem and powering on. You can setup multiple Wi-Fi networks. Currently I’m using an IoT (internet of things) network for my smart home devices, a 6ghz network for my laptop and desktop (both have Wi-Fi 7 cards installed), and a 3rd for all other things on 2.4ghz and 5ghz network. The design is nice, they’re small but packed with features. Each one has 3 ethernet ports and a USB. You can easily use a wired backhaul to each node, or they can use a dedicated wireless band for internet connection. This limits some of the Wi-Fi bandwidth that can go to your devices but can allow strong Wi-Fi connection where cables may be difficult to run. Of the 3 ethernet, there are two 5Gbps and one 2.5Gbps ethernet ports, so very much setting up the new standard of high bandwidth connectivity. On performance, I was able to transfer a large video file at around 111 MB/s. At these speeds it’s easy enough to just shared folders across my network instead of using a flash drive. Not that a flash drive would be slower, but it’s just more convenient and the Deco routers have a steady connection so it remained consistent during the whole transfer. Signal is strong too. I have one of the units in my garage. My apple TV in my bedroom connects to it through a few walls and I haven’t had any issues streaming or downloading a recent update. Also no issues with connectivity when scrolling through social media on our phones. The Deco app is easy to navigate and packed with all kinds of settings and features. One of the first things I do with a new router is see if it has QoS and set up my more demanding devices. Very easy to do through the app. Also, you can see your client list, do port forwarding, set static routes, turn on and off Wi-Fi networks, and much more. I will say the only downside is while the app will let you navigate through all the features, I found that accessing the web app through my PC was lackluster. It didn’t seem as if it has the same options as the app and I felt quite limited as to what I could do. This is a bit of a small complaint, but I do like having all the same options. Also, if you want to connect to a new device, each node has a WPS button to make connections easy. You can also do this from the app which is convenient. Connecting to a USB drive is simple as well. You get a shared name and access it just like you would any other network drive. The speeds are not stellar but are within the USB 3.0 speeds. If you need to share data in a pinch, this works out great, but transferring over Ethernet and Wi-Fi will be much faster. Just to round this up in one paragraph, Wi-Fi 7 is the newest standard and offers some of the biggest leaps in speed in a while. It’ll take some time for other devices to catch up, but the router is the starting point, and Wi-Fi 7 allows the network to be smarter and more reliable compared to other networks and also allows the 6ghz band which is a quieter network for the time being. This mesh system is fantastic and easily recommended.

I know that I need to upgrade my WiFi network for some time. Our two story home had weak/dead zones upstairs, away from the router, from some time. However, the cost of mesh networks made me hesitate a lot. I finally took the plunge with the TP-Link Deco BE65 Pro 3 Pack. As mentioned in the name, this package offers a lot of pro features (which we’ll get to momentarily), but you wouldn’t know it out of the box. Setup requires the use or a smartphone app and it walks the user through the setup process step-by-step. This would be great for the average user, but for advanced users who like to connect to the router to configure things before disconnecting their entire live network, I didn’t see any options for this. I had to wait for a weekend morning before taking the plunge and disconnecting our entire network to get the new router in and connect individual clients one-by-one over the next several hours. Putting this to one side, setup was quick and easy. The additional bases easily connected to the mesh network themselves after being plugged in. It wasn’t until I was finally able to review the settings via the app that I found an option for access point mode. This allows the Deco to be added to an existing network via cable and used as additional hardware to extend the existing WiFi network. Oops. That would have saved some time. Ultimately, I’m glad I just bit the bullet and replaced the old hardware because the Deco has a lot of useful features, some of which future-proof it so I won’t have to worry about replacing this hardware for a long time. IPv6 is available, but turned off by default. Understandable, considering we haven’t gotten this successfully implemented. The router provides a separate Internet of Things network, so that you can connect all those smart devices separately and not look at the main network map and wonder at what all the random devices are. I like this because, security wise, should someone hack a smart device, they shouldn’t be able to access the computers if they are on a separate network. There are a lot of other awesome features that I could go on about, but let me quickly touch on some of the more useful ones. I haven’t set these up yet, but look forward to using them: Parental controls. It’s great that you can add clients to this section and limit network access times. Device Isolation: great if you have a client that might be at higher risk for outside attacks. Camera security: I love that you can add cameras to the internal network so that you can monitor them, but remove them from outside connection to avoid hacking snoopers. There are many more and I haven’t been able to review them all, but between the beefiness of the hardware itself and its features, I could see this system running our WiFi for a very long time coming.
