TP-Link Deco BE75 BE17000 Tri-Band WiFi 7 Mesh System - 8-Stream, 17 Gbps, 200+ Device Connect, 10 Gbps Wired, AI Roaming, Wireless/Wired Combined Backhaul, Google/Alexa, HomeShield, 2-Pack

My family bought this/these units to replace an older Netgear RAX 200. I am brand loyal and felt weird turning away from Netgear after 2 generations of problem-free wireless routers. I went with TP-LINK because of the good ratings on performance and user-friendly app features (over Netgear's Orbi) and went with a mesh system because of increasing internet traffic across a household. It made sense to go mesh because of interference issues across multiple rooms and being in a multi-household building.Making the switch to a mesh system seemingly eliminated all dead spots in the house, as it should've by design, but with more legacy devices in my home, this translated to ultra stable connectivity in the house. Away went any interence issues regardless of peak use times in our building.The one thing I do look forward to getting use to is the WiFi 7 abilities of this router as we get newer equipment. As for now, we couldn't ask for more for our gaming, multiple streaming televisions and dvr equipment, several computers and laptops, mobile devices and a few smart appliances. We have no need to connecting a wireless 'backhaul' to improve speed versus using the 3 parts of this router spread across our home wirelessly.This unit cost a pretty penny, but was easy to set up within a few minutes of unboxing. The app provides plenty of features, including diagnostics for each piece of the mesh system, speed tests, statistics on data used, and ease of general internal software / updates. I have no complaints in the use of this system other than my own willingness to invest in the initial purchase - which isn't for everybody.I hope this review helps. I would highly recommend DECO BE95 and would easily purchased this again.

I bought these to replace for my Asus ZenWifi XT8 mesh system, and I'm glad I did.This is a Wifi 6E system, as opposed to my old Wifi 6 Asus system. Most of my devices are Wifi 6, with a couple also supporting Wifi 6E. I use three of these for my house: two in the main house and one in the office in the back yard, all using wireless backhaul.I have a CenturyLink gigabit Internet connection at home, and I connect directly using PPPoe (not through their "modem"). I'm very impressed with the speeds I'm getting with the TP-Link XE200s. My old Asus ZenWifi XT8 system would give me about 300-450 Mbps, depending on device and location, but now I easily get 500-600+ Mbps for Wifi 6 and 800+ Mbps for my Wifi 6E devices.You set up and manage your TP-Link mesh network through the Deco iOS or Android mobile app, which is user-friendly and intuitive. There's also a web UI, but that just shows you the current configuration; you can't really change anything. That's fine with me, as the mobile app provides all I need.The TP-Link system is definitely not as configurable as Asus ZenWifi or Netgear Orbi, which offer highly granular customization settings in both the mobile app and web UI, but that doesn't really matter to me. The Deco mobile app offers all the main configuration options, including various connection types (including PPPoe), viewing and managing connected devices, block lists, network optimization, connection alerts, guest networks, etc.One thing to be aware of is that some enhanced security features (web protection, intrusion prevention, and IoT protection) and parental controls are behind annual subscriptions ($34.99 and $17.99, respectively). It would have been nice to not have to pay for that separately, but that's not a deal breaker for me.I had originally bought a TP-Link X95 system, but this X200 (only marginally more expensive) blows that out of the water, with much better performance and faster speeds.Overall, my network is much faster now, both wifi performance and copying to and from my NAS. This is a great mesh wifi system that's easy to set up, offers great speeds, and doesn't break the bank, particularly when on sale. Highly recommended.

TP-Link Tri-Band, Deco BE85, WiFi 7 BE22000 Whole Home Mesh System was a purchase that I debated about and researched well. I am happy with it but will mention one picky issue.Once I upgraded from 1.2 Gbps Xfinity cable internet to 8 Gig fiber optic, I also wanted to upgrade my mesh router. I was using the Google Nest Pro WIFI 6e mesh router and was happy with it but the ethernet ports on it were only 1GB and I wanted to take advantage of my newer higher speeds. I knew that I wanted another mesh system and definitely a WIFI 7 one.There were several options but, years ago, I had the TP-link OnHub router which was the first router that never gave me any problems. I decided to stick with the tried and true and then debated between this system and the BE95. Although I have a phone and a laptop that are WIFI 7, most of my other devices are WIFI 6e or lower so I realized that the BE95 would exceed my needs for many years. I got the three pack of the BE85 since I have a large two story home with smart devices in the front and back yards as well as the garage. I’m glad that I did because the three units give me complete coverage everywhere.Each of the three routers are the same so any of them can be selected to be the main router. I like this because it means that if the main one ever malfunctions, I can easily switch and not be without internet. They all have 4 multi-gigabit ethernet ports. I have three of my older devices on ethernet and the speed up and down is over a gigabit on each. The WIFI 7 phone and laptop routinely have over 1.5 Gb up and down wireless speeds.The installation was as easy as expected with the Deco app. The app was updated a couple of weeks after I got this system and version 3.7.14 works very well. I have a SmartHome with a lot of different devices and this app makes it so easy with a menu option to set up an IOT (Internet of Things) for those devices that work exclusively on the 2.4ghz network. It also features a network optimization selection which scans the network looking for any areas of interference. One can give a device priority and even choose a dedicated band and router for connection. I get all the information that I need easily without any monthly fee.The only bit of complaint that I have is the power plugs. At first I thought that I might have a defective router until I noticed that the power plug green light was not on. Maybe it had to do with how tightly they were wrapped but, at first, all the power plugs were so touchy that a slight bump could turn off the green light and power. I’m not taking any stars off for that since they are working well now but also they are not in an area where they get bumped very often.I am very happy with this purchase. The system is stable and connections hold well. The speeds compared to my old WIFI 6e system are so much better. I do recommend this to anyone who has a multi-gigabit internet service.
