This review is for the Deco BE16000 Quad-Band Mesh Wi-Fi 7 System with Multi-Gig 3 pack. First off the setup was very easy. And pairing each unit to each other was just as easy. After downloading the deco app it walks you right through the setup process. And with this 3 pack I have great WiFi coverage from my driveway to my pool. I’ve only had it about a week but so far have had no issues. After I had all 3 units up and running I simply renamed the Wi-Fi to the same name and password I previously used and all of my existing devices connected to the new with no issues. And I have quite a few stuff on my network for my smart home stuff. Also this router worked well with my Network-attached storage (NAS). That I have running my Home video surveillance on. And a large movie collection to streamed to different TVs around the house. It was easy in the app for setup the port forwarding that I needed to access this stuff when away from the house. Lets face it this WiFi System is faster than most all my devices I have as of now. Which is great. No one wants their WiFi to be a bottle neck of their network. And with this that is no longer an issue for me. Now the units are some what on the lager side and you will want them out in the open for the best coverage. Just some thing to think about. well, worth it for me.

This review is on a TP-Link - Deco BE16000 Quad-Band Mesh Wi-Fi 7 System with Multi-Gig (3-Pack) - White. If you are questioning whether to buy this system, DO IT. You will have the best Wi-Fi you can get for your home. This is top quality performance! Wi-Fi 7 is the latest tech with an incredible increase in speed. Not only will you get the speed increase but you will also get the coverage you are looking for. This was by far the easiest system I have had to setup. It is also my first mesh system. Each tower has 4 ports. I connected my 1Gbps modem to one Deco. Installed the Deco app on my phone and had the system up exactly how I liked in under 15 minutes. I first connected my phone to the Deco's Wi-Fi. It asked to give it a location or custom name. It asked what type of Internet connection I had with my ISP. I gave it a name and password for my Wi-Fi with the type of security. It checked to see if it had any updates and it had one that took about a minute to complete. Then I just plugged in the other two Deco's and connected them instantly with little configuration to complete. It is set to auto detect the Deco to connect to and no matter where I placed them they both connected to the main Deco. For me to extend my range I had to tell it which Deco I wanted each Deco to connect to. So I had a problem reaching the end of my garage where I wanted to install some security cameras. Couldn't do it with my previous router. I connected the 2nd Deco wirelessly to the main Deco and put it up on the 2nd level. Then I connected the 3rd Deco wirelessly to the 2nd Deco and put it in the room over the garage. Now I have full signal exactly where I need it. Before, on my PC, my Wi-Fi Speedtest was decent but now my Wi-Fi speed matches my wired speed. WOW! The app is pretty good too. It allows you to see all your Deco's and how much data is moving. You can view your devices and give them names. You can hide your SSID's if you want to. You can also turn on a guest network but it will not let you hide the guest network. Once QoS is enabled you can just select which devices you want priority on. It will scan the network environment of your home and auto select the channels that it can use without interference. NAT forwarding, VPN and Firewall rules are also available. It will even alert you when a new device connects to your network. The web interface isn't as good as the app but I still like it. I would like the ability to name or rename my devices in the web interface because using a keyboard is just quicker especially when you have over 100 devices. I would also like to see the ability to hide the guest network. Hopefully this can be added in the next update. Have no fear, greater Wi-Fi is here.

My home is filled with "smart" products. Google, Alexa, Samsung, Philips Hue, and so on. With this comes a lot of wear and tear on my Wi-Fi network for streaming and device switching. My last mesh system claimed to support 10,000 square feet. This may have been true, but at least once a week, multiple devices were losing connection and/or hanging up. So far, I have experienced none of that with this TP-Link set-up. All devices have been working without a hitch, and with the tools to create split band networks and a dedicated IoT network, I'm easily able to put certain devices on specific networks to maximize efficiency. With my previous set-up, my Pixel tablet and Home Max speakers were losing connection so frequently, I automatically assumed it was a manufacturer bug, but as of writing this, it just may have been my network. We'll see, but so far so good. For the technologically challenged, this was the easiest set-up I have ever gone through. I was up within 5 minutes and all directions were clear and concise. I always, always, have some sort of backend hiccup that turns minutes into hours, but not here. Adding the second and third routers were as simple as plugging up and waiting. TP-Link has minimized user participation and I appreciate the lack of frustration! The app is easy to navigate and read, which makes troubleshooting much easier. It also contains all settings necessary to please novice s to advanced users looking for more customization. Granted I am in the "honeymoon" phase of these routers, so far, all is going better than expected. They work well, are aesthetically pleasing, and give adequate coverage, even in the bathroom. They absolutely live up to the hype.

I have experience with multiple mesh Wi-Fi systems from many different brands. After using a handful of other brands, I eventually settled on TP-Link. I have always been impressed with their quality, features, ease of use, and their mobile app. When I set up this new BE16000 model, it was just as easy as any previous versions I've had. The app is quick and easy to use. My new network was up in a matter of minutes, and I was able to quickly set my local IP addresses, DNS addresses, passwords, and network settings. While I choose to dig into some of the more advanced features, it is absolutely not necessary to get any TP-Link mesh system up and running. You can simply set up the nodes in the app, choose a network name and password, and be done with it. This new Wi-Fi 7 system has been blazing fast, and I often see close to gigabit speeds on my mobile devices during speed tests. It was a great upgrade for my gigabit fiber connection at home. I have roughly 2 dozen devices connected to my network at any given time. Multiple computers, smart home devices, gaming systems, smart TV's, etc. This BE16000 system has chewed through everything I've thrown at it so far without a hitch. I highly recommend this product if you A) have a larger home with multiple floors and need a large coverage area, B) have a reliable high speed connection of at least 1Gbps, or C) both are true. If you have any less than a gigabit connection, I would invest in a more affordable Wi-Fi 6 system to still get coverage and speed without going overboard on budget.

This product work very well and i like the design of it.

Connecting to my router would cause the mesh network to disconnect for no reason, and had to buy a tcplink router to make it work right. Besides that, It is working great.

I did not realize that TP Link was a Chinese company and so I returned the equipment after initial set-up. I will say the solution is very easy to set-up, the App is very solid, provides great insights about your network...but from a security standpoint using a Chinese national company's WIFI is a non-starter for me so I returned it and instead Implemented the Linksys Velop7 which has been really outstanding since I deployed it.
