Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have a 2300 sq ft 2 story home. I did end up using all 3 nodes, but could get away with 2. They should sell these in single packs for those that need 2 or more than 3. Anyway, setup was easy once the deco app connected to the 1st node. I had to manually get my phone connected to the deco and turn off auto connect to my old network. My phone kept connecting to my old wifi as the deco didnt have internet yet. The rest of the setup was easy. I did individually set each device on my network to use the mesh or not. If a device is not portable, turn mesh network off for that device. I also set connection preference as some iot devices wouldnt connect to the closest deco node. I subscribe to 1 GB internet. Speed tests from wifi devices show 1gb+ for the 1st time in my home. I routinely get 700+ speeds from my garage. This mesh router should last at least 5 years as it is 2.5 GB capable for future internet speed increases.

The set up for these devices was very easy and fast. No glitches. We live in a 110 year old house with construction that frequently interferes with Wi-Fi. In most of the house however we’re get the full 500 Mbps that we get from our ISP.

Works great, absolute recommendation for anyone with a 1gbps or 2.4 gbps internet esepcially on fiber. My speeds went up 300% compared to my 4 year old Orbi units. While WiFi 7 hasnt been fully ratified, The BE16000 already has AFC and MLO tech built in for future proofing. You should start to see WiFi7 devices starting 2024 as well. These are larger and heavier than expected but the presence of 4x 2.5gbps ports is totally worth it. Even on wireless backhaul I was seeing ~800mbps on a 1000mbps internet connection at the fartest node in my house.

For those you who want to be the first to dive into Wi-Fi 7 get ready get set....... Go..... Well maybe not so fast there because Wi-Fi 7 is not available to too many products yet. But they are coming. We will get to that in a bit. Let set this puppy up. So setup was super duper easy... Download the app for me it was android. Follow the step by step prompts and I was in with my base unit. From there you have 1 of 2 options. Either go wireless or do what is called a back hauled method. Back hauled is basically connecting your satellite units with a cat 5e or higher cable back to the main base unit either directly or with a switch. I went with back haul because I have a lot of walls and different dead spots in my house and my ADU. Within about 45 mins and after 2 firmware updates I was up and running. As of right now there are no commercially available mounts. I hope and wish in the future they have ceiling mounts because I want to replace my ceiling mounted routers with these in the near future when Wifi 7 is fully available. User interface via app is nice. There are A LOT of controls and customizable options such as MLO Multi Link Optimization and smart home features and a ton of other stuff. So going back to wifi 7. Currently as of 12/07/2023 there are almost no phones or computers that have Wi-Fi 7. They say that in mid 2024 there will be products with this protocol. You can find a WiFi adapter but will need to retrofit your current PC to change your wireless adapter. But that you cannot still fully realize the full benefits of wifi 7 yet. With that in mind and the fact that my phone and PCS are throttled limited to Wifi 6. My download is roughly maxed out at about 650 MBS and Uploads are about 150 MBS. I am running GB service so hardwired puts me at about +/- 900 MBS both up and down. Still pretty wicked fast. Zero latency and full throttle allows you to connect a lot of devices and max throughput. So if you are a serious gamer and have a huge dwelling unit with multiple wireless devices that are connected along with smart devices. This is the device to get. For that I would highly recommend this product.

Super Easy to setup. Provides multiple networks you can assign specific devices to. The app is intuitive As well. I used mine with Comcast/Xfinity amd had no issues. Now getting well over 700mbps

The BE16000 system was easy to setup and everything has been working smoothly. I had a TP Link Archer AX1000 router before. The speeds were good but slowed down quite a bit the farther away you were. With the new deco mesh, the speeds are fantastic everywhere in the house. You dont notice your devices switching between satelites. I have all my devices connected wirelessy besides the main device connected to my modem. Plugging an ethernet into one of the secondary devices gives me max speeds possible with my ISP. This is great for me due to me not being able to run ethernets to certain areas. Overall, so far, this setup has been great and it is easy to add on more deco devices to your setup.

WIFI has been around for a long, long time. The wireless protocol has evolved and the latest WIFI 6E has been one of the most successful to date, as it allows some of the fastest transfer speeds. But even with modifications to the protocol, it has remained rather challenging sometimes to have coverage all over your home. In the past few years, many concepts and ideas went into the creation of ways to obtain consistent speeds and latency. With the new WIFI 7 coming next year, TP-Link decided to release a new WIFI 7 ready "mesh" system dubbed BE16000, which promises to offer high speeds, low latency and a different approach on how the signal is spread throughout your home. I'd like to mention that TP-Link has been a solid manufacturer of connective hardware. Be it modems, routers or any other type of products that allows remote connection, this company has had its fingers in it. The Deco series I got came in a 3 pack and was way bigger than I had anticipated. The reason for the size is that each unit is identical. They all sport 4 ethernet/LAN connections, a USB connector and a power supply. It really doesn't matter which one you choose to connect to your modem (or modem/router combo aka "gateway"), the first one will be providing the others with the necessary connectivity. Now, this is where it gets interesting. Once you've set the system up by spreading the remaining two devices around your home, you will now have a consistent coverage, thanks to the WIFI 7 protocol which allows you to walk around your house without ever noticing a lag or drop in speeds. You don't need to mess with odd settings or anything, once up and running, the BE16000 dishes out top speeds automatically. Note that you will need a smartphone or tablet in order to set the system up. The app is a delight to use and keeps you updated on what is going on in terms of connections, devices, speeds, latency and much more. I really loved how easy the whole process works and how fast it was up and running. Now, of course, no product is without a fault. The biggest issue - which will disappear or at least be mitigated by the release of WIFI 7 compatible devices - is that as of now, you can only harness the benefits of WIFI 6. It's not a big damper and as I mentioned, once more devices take advantage of the new protocol, speeds will go up. Another odd behavior of the system is that it seems to dislike some modems or internet access gateways. It performs worse on a 5G Home Internet device than with a cable modem with near identical speed outputs, at the same time of the day. I believe that it might still need firmware updates to address these specific issues. Coverage on the other hand which is this systems' main selling point is excellent. It doesn't matter where you are in your home, you will have about the same speeds. And for the price, even if at first it seems rather expensive, you might want to give it a go as there aren't many devices which are as easy to install and set up as this bundle. I really love what TP-Link has cooked up and I hope to be able to take advantage of WIFI 7 soon. I highly recommend the BE16000.

This system was an eero upgrade. Wow. The speed increase is amazing. Set up was easy and quick. The app worked well. It was seamless. Everything has worked just as expected since connected. We're happy with this system and glad to have it extending the wifi in our home!

Hugh diffrence in connectivity for a house full of smart things. This Mesh is better than I expected. I live in a very crowded subdivision neighborhood with lots of radio waves being shared and this device Cypher and manages them well and aggressively powerfull. Support Application is easy to use and will get you set up in a hurry. My wife and I are very pleased.

I just for this last weekend 3 pack16000 and i have a ton of wired and wireless devices. I was hoping that i woukdnt have to redo everything but it seems i do. Ive bene having issues with the IoT devices on the iot network. Seesm that many of my devices just wont connect and others will only if i take off the 5ghz channel then they may woek. I have the same issue with my iphone pro max 14. My devices fo on and off constantly. I havent had a chance yet to speak with tech-support, but I have to say it’s it’s a little concerning with my expertise that it’s not working the way it should be. That being said there are many great things about it. I can definitely see that some of the things do seem to work better. Hopefully I’m not gonna have to use the guest network because why would you even have an IOT network if you can’t use it, but I do love how they do have the backhaul to connect wirelessly, even though I have my stuff all configured hardwired to have the mesh network be the same, but I’m also having issues because I do have multiple switches and so now I have to figure out why it wants me to set it up differently and I have a bunch of different theories on how to do that but again may need to talk with them first, but I’ve got a couple thoughts in my head once I have some time to work on it to make it so it’s it works better. So currently I will get back with you guys give an update. I’m really hoping that this is gonna be better than the Orbi mesh network that I had that was maybe two years old. It couldn’t handle all the devices. I had wirelessly and I didn’t like the speeds I do have gig speeds And with the Orbi I couldn’t get past about 400 up or down first time. I ran a speed test. I think I got around the 450 or so maybe 500 and then the upload was like six or so I still would expect better especially since I’m an AT&T tech And our fiber modem can get around 800 so I would expect a lot more. Obviously my phone doesn’t work with the 6 GHz channel but still with the five I should get faster than that. Another thing I really hate is how they don’t really have an option to use your computer like most other networks pretty much the app gives you way more than the website and still doesn’t give you enough. It seems as if they want you not to mess with it so it’s not really IT friendly I would say.

I would recommend to purchase. Very easy to set up with app. Notice a very substantial increase and Internet speed with iPads and TV functions. Would also recommend Wi-Fi range extenders for bigger Homes and outdoors.

Powerful WIFI. Easy setup and wifi is super fast. I have 2 gig Internet and this handles it with no issues.

The TP-Link Deco BE16000 is an absolute game-changer in the world of home and office networking. As one of the first Wi-Fi 7 mesh systems on the market, it delivers unparalleled speed, stability, and coverage, making it an excellent choice for users who demand top-tier performance.

They cover the entire house with ease and are easy to set up. The throughput is amazing. They are a bit pricey, but work great,

The Deco was very easy to setup. Once I established a new SSID and passphrase, connecting devices was seamless. The Deco automatically detects the best band to establish connection for your devices but you have the option through the app of modifying that as well as creating a band dedicated to specific devices you’d like to prioritize for optimal performance. Advanced options through the app let you establish additional QOS settings. The app also allows for editing device descriptions to easily identify devices that may require bandwidth troubleshooting in the future. All in all, I am very satisfied with this product.

great connection speed, easy setup. We were having problems with connection in our basement and lower deck .. Deco resolve this issue.

Easy to setup and work well. Enjoying the increased speeds over my previous WiFi

Works great, covers my 3 level home including the decks. Would recommend to anyone with a large home.

Very easy to install and set up. We now have no dead spots, nothing drops and speed is fast.

Great system, covers a very large area seamlessly. So far no issue when going from room to room. Strong download speeds throughout the house
