Deco BE68 Wi-Fi 7 Whole Home tri-Band Router came with attractive packaging. Packaging: All devices were wrapped with a specific kind of wrap to protect the devices during shipping and opening and placing them in the locations. AC Adapters were also protected in the box. Setup: Downloaded the Deco App from the App Store without any issues. Once Downloaded, I opened the app and it started walking me through the setup. I followed the precise steps and had the 1st device setup with my modem without any issues or lots of rebooting and reconnecting of the devices. Connectivity. i have alot of wireless devices and it discovered all of them, lights, dimmers, outdoor lights, flood lights, wifi front and back porch lights, different brands, all my Smart assistants devices. My TVs, our cars (both electric and wifi connected for updates). No issues and found the devices by name. Very impressive for most of the devices and by mac address for other devices. I would highly recommend this network for ease of setup and features of the app. Priceless to say the least.

The current mesh system in my home is about 7 years old now. It has 3 nodes to cover our 2-level plus full finished basement home, about 4,500 sq ft, and supports the Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) standard. Our high-speed internet modem was installed in the basement by our internet provider so we needed a mesh system to push the Wifi up to the main level and particularly the second story of our home. My iPhone and our family’s laptops support Wifi 6E so I decided it was time to upgrade our mesh system to rectify some latency issues we have with our current system. For example, when streaming Roku we have significant latency issues on our living room TV, which is the farthest away from our modem. We do have the mesh node fairly close by but the delays are quite noticeable, especially compared to all the other TV’s in all other rooms throughout our home. Also, the mesh nodes tend to disconnect occasionally, I don’t know why, but I have to reset one or two just about every week. So with new Wifi standards these days I figured it was time to upgrade my mesh system. I got the TP-Link - Deco BE68 and setup was a breeze. As per usual, the first step is to download the TP-Link app, then plug in the Deco and follow the app’s instructions. It worked perfectly without a hiccup. Now I’m no network administrator, not even close, so I really appreciate the ease of setting it up. And the result has been a MUCH faster Wifi experience for my entire family. For example, our living room has a Roku Ultra 2024 which supports Wifi 6. Previously when I’d pull up the DirecTV app on the Roku it was so slow to load. The channel guide would just blink gray boxes and eventually those boxes would load with the channel information and then the program and it was annoying as heck. Sometimes I’d just give up and stay on the channel I’m already on because I’d just get tired of waiting for the other channel’s information to see what else is on. And sometimes once the channel guide info loads on the screen and I would start scrolling up and down the channel guide to see what else in on, every time you scroll you had to wait for the channel info to kind of catch up and show up again, it would finally load, then scroll a bit more to see what’s on the next channels, loading/flashing gray again, over and over. Just fricking irritating. But now with the new Deco setup, that problem has been completely eliminated. The channel guide now shows up within one second and as I scroll all the channel info for the other channels the info is already loaded, no delays at all, amazing. Furthermore, streaming services like Netflix load so fast it is remarkable. On my laptop, web pages load instantaneously. Literally almost no delay whatsoever. I’ve only been using the TP-Link Deco system for a couple of days but it has improved everything we do using our Wifi from work to entertainment and I could not be more pleased with this product. Currently I have no devices that support the new Wifi 7 standard, but we’ll be ready when that happens. In the meantime, I’m loving our new Wifi and definitely recommend this mesh system.

I've had some very good routers over the years, but I've never seem able to have that one where everything works at the same time. The biggest problems I have is with my camera on my garage, and my doorbell! I've had my camera on my garage for years along with my doorbell, and my signal strength has always been really really weak when it comes to those two! Everything inside the house, works very well even if everything is being used Wi-Fi at the same time! I've probably had four different routers to this point, and nothings ever really worked when it comes to my garage camera and doorbell! Every time I try and look at the garage camera and the doorbell, it's always a spinning affect for a very long time, and then either the picture would come on or it would say not connected! It's really frustrating, especially when I get deliveries and I can't login to see or talk to the person that's delivering the package! I remember speaking with a delivery driver one time, and he said he needed a signature. I asked him would he be able to leave it there, and before he gave me an answer it disconnected and I couldn't reconnect! So I wanted to try the new tp link set up to see if finally I can have a solution to my problem! The set up was pretty straightforward and really easy when I connected it to my modem. I also like the fact that you can see how many devices are being used on each router! This works out great when I have my kids over, and they're supposed to be in bed sleep. I can click on the app and see if they're using their phones or playing the game when they're not supposed to be. I quickly ran upstairs in the master bedroom and hooked up another one, which I use for my computer and TV. Then I connected the last one in the living room, Close enough to the window to get good reception for my camera and doorbell. We finally have success! I've constantly looked at my camera while at or away from the home, and it pops on without a hitch! I've also been able to use my doorbell with ease! No interruptions, no constantly spinning and saying there's no service, and I can speak with whomever is at the door without being disconnected! This is cheaper than a lot of the other routers I've gotten over the years, but yet is 10 times better! You would definitely not go wrong if you decided to buy this for your home!

Like most people, the wifi in my place is somewhat spotty. There's always that one place or space where the wifi signal just doesn't reach or isn't quite as fast as other places in the house. Having recently upgraded to gigagbit internet, I wanted to make sure, this time, my wifi would be on point wherever I am in my place. For me, it was the bedroom where my signal would die out for some reason. As soon as I turned the corner into my bedroom, the wifi signal would get super weak and almost unusable. I previously "resolved" this issue by getting another router and then laying out 100ft of ethernet cable to my bedroom from the main router and hooking it up in there. It worked but was super ugly and not really ideal. This mesh wifi system is the perfect solution to my problem and it works beautifully. I placed the routers in my bedroom, living room and upstairs to get better coverage. Simple and easy enough to hook everything up. Once connected to the main router and configured, I'm getting speeds of 600-800Mbps everywhere in my place now. While it's just a wifi signal, it's such a nice feeling knowing that I have coverage in my place and speeds to boot.
