TP-Link Deco BE33000 Quad-Band WiFi 7 Mesh System (Deco BE95) for Whole Home Coverage up to 7800 Sq.Ft with AI-Driven Smart Antennas, 10G Multi-Gig Ethernet ports, Replaces Router and Extender(2-pack)

This unit, the BE95, is the flagship product for TP_Link home mesh networking. As a retired IT professional/engineer who worked with hardware and wrote more code than I want to remember, I have only high praise for the BE95 product. The incredible overall total throughput along with the capabilities to handle in excess of 200 connected devices fleshes this device out to be almost ultra-commercial in design. We had a very high end gaming router with some repeaters prior to this unit. We also have prior mesh systems from Asus as well as NETGEAR (Orbi) and they all sucked. Confusing back channel configurations and inconsistent connections plagued our connectivity daily. Originally I balked at the price, but figured I could just return it if it didn’t pan out and live up to promises.In the end, with just the 2-tower package, we are covering our entire home of 3000Sqft with full 5 bar connectivity and absolutely ZERO dead spots. Where we had constant drops and interruptions in our old system for our xfinity WiFi enabled tuner, we now see consistent 4k television. When I look for WiFi I look for reliability and signal quality. This unity excels at both. Even all the way back by our fence at edge of the property I get full bars. Walls are not a problem as the unit utilizes MLO (multi link …Ah crap, can’t remember what o stands for) in short, it will use more than one of the 4 channels to make sure there are no dead spots in the signal. The back channel is automatic and seamless. Once setup with the free app, you rarely need to access it. And speaking of the app, it is the only detriment to the system as the fine folks at tp_link decided to rely solely on the app for configuration of port forwarding and other granular stuff. There is no way to do that on the web based on fig tool I’m not sure if it was left out on purpose or if the unit was rushed and web app,just didn’t get finished in time. It does not feel like a rushed product so, some how I think they just left it out to avoid confusing the average person.The system provides connectivity on WiFi specs from 2.4g, 5g, bands as well as 2 others. High spectrum reserved for back channel connectivity to ensure quality service. WiFi 7 compliant (spec not completed yet but it will be soon) there is no WiFi they cannot connect to. The ports on the back provide 2 2.5 gig Ethernet and 2 10gig Ethernet/ as well as a high speed usb for attaching some hard drives for network attached storage. This thing is made to scream while pushing as many bits as possible. Over saturation of the network never happens. I can be transferring large video files, watching 4k tv, streaming something else, listening to music and have a torrent client running in the background while my son kicks butt on his gaming servers with ultra low lag….on WiFi. Faster than the Ethernet connect on our old router/ap.I can confidently say, barring some magic leap in tech, this will be he last WiFi router we buy for at least a decade.Highly. Highly recommended. This from a guy with 4-5 boxes of old devices sitting in his garage!!!

I preordered last week of may and was given estimates ship date of June 15, then Jun 1 and to my happy surprise delivered on Memorial day.The packaging for this 2 system Mesh system is stellar. Clam Shell boxing reveling 2 cylindrical Mesh devices that are solidily built.Using the Deco app was the easy and had the Main router configured within 10 minutes. I had to change the IP address to fit within my network and once changed I was able to configure using the web browser.Both the web browser and app surprisingly gave me alot of configuration detail and the app is actually excellent giving the end user alot of great detail info...impressive.Once I had the main router configured, I simply powered the satellite and the Deco app immediately detected it and configured the satellite to my main router and network...easy!!!!. I moved the satellite to the living room area and did speedtests, not only did I have full wifi signal the speedtests were delivering phenomenal wireless speeds. I have 2 Netgear extenders and they are wireless connected to the Mesh system and is working well with one another in addition giving me better speeds at the extenders than my previous setup.In addition, I configured the IoT for both the 2.4 & 5 ghz band and that is made possible by WiFi 7. All of my IoT devices are on a dedicated band, freeing up the rest of the network to work on the other 2.4 band.The main unit is running about 120 F temp and the satellite is around 109 F. Definitely warm but not a deal breaker.I have been waiting for a good mesh system to arrive and WiFi 7 is the way to go, granted TP link Wifi 7 Mesh is pricey but worth it. I have used Asus routers and their mesh system and Netgear Orbi Mesh as well. To be fair my Asus system with 2 routers and mesh worked well, but I was not getting the wireless speeds that I have with TP link. The Netgear Orbi AX5300 is great, but the app is buggy and the amount of user info was lack luster and disappointing. Tp Links Deco app is well thought-out and gives me alot of great info including the actual wireless strength of all connected devices...it's really good and yes your able to monitor the system remotely because its connected thru their cloud system...nice.This is the Mesh system to have..2 devices covering 7000 sqft(overkill in my 2,300 sqft home) wifi dead zone killer and great app and configuration.JUST BUY IT

I was using 4 Linksys MX5 (Mesh, Wifi 6) in my 3,700 sqft house. Using a 1GB fiber connection from my ISP. My office is at the opposite end of the house and on a different floor. Connected via ethernet on the mesh node (wireless backhaul), I was seeing around 400 of wifi speed. Now with this TP Link, I get 700 with only two nodes. Quite impressive. So better coverage and more speed. I have about 60 devices connected at all times (Sonos, Ring, Phone, Tablets, PC …) and no headache so far.Too early for reliability feedback as I have used this less than a week. But so far, no issue, connection is stable.The GUI offers additional tweaks vs. Linksys, that is a welcome change.As expected, this is quite expensive, but I was ready to try. Overall, if you can afford it, it is a meaningful upgrade, not just a minor improvement. If connection stays stable in the next few weeks/months, then I will be very happy.** Update after 6 months … **No issue so far, connection is stable and as good as day one. Never had to tweak the settings again. Again, it was expensive but worth it. If you can get it a nice discount, then this is a no-brainer.
