"with a big house we always had issues with coverage before that's non-existent now"
"Actually better than a range extender, as Mesh systems are designed from the ground up to work with each other in the system. ... But it's half ass "patched up" jerky jerky mesh was no match to a Deco. Deco was snappier, more reliable, and longer range."
"The coverage is excellent. I have a 2 storey 175sqm house and it covers almost everything."

"I’ve got around 20 devices connected (phones, smart TV, laptops, even a couple of smart plugs) and it hasn’t choked once"
"internal connections for example i use Sunshine & Moonlight to game stream to my living room TV or my bedroom projector and I get the full 2.5gig speed test to my desktop from the tv, projector and my phone that are on wifi"
"I download 50tb a month on my server and steam Plex to nearly ten simultaneous users this way. Never had any issues relating to the wifi side of it."

"2000sq ft split level, but I got it with 3 bases and particularly for the Ethernet back haul as I have one unit in a shed about 75 ft from my house that I ran Ethernet to. (Shed is a converted game space for tabletop gaming)."
"Became FANTASTIC once I strung some ethernet cables among four of them including the one serving as a router in strategic locations (our house is rather large and some walls contain metal lathe). ... We now always have excellent connectivity and fast roaming."
"i noticed a BIG improvement once i conected all my decos via ethernet. ... it was a game changer, i use smart products from different brands and now i don't have any issues with disconections!! ... Some meross plugs disconected all the time before wiring my decos, now they work flawless!"

"perfect for gaming, streaming, and working without annoying dropouts"
"I do own TUF AX6000 and its QoS is almost perfect with SQM cake on a gigabit WAN. ... SQM with some hardware offloading works well on this device at least up to 1.5Gbps/1.5Gbps (down/up)."

"I can put it up by myself in less than 5 minutes."
"Goes up super fast"
"the whole setup process was almost… suspiciously easy lol ... The app basically walks you through everything and even my not-so-techy partner figured it out when I wasn’t home ... it was wild how simple it was. I kept waiting for something to go wrong but it just… didn’t!"

"But alas, the handover between the eero's was incredibly slow. ... If using them in their separate rooms, as 2 independent WiFi units, fine. But if having them as mesh, as previously mentioned, one needs to be upstream."
"The mesh can be unreliable. ... After a disconnect it can a long time to reconnect."
"I had a lot of issues walking around the house and the switching between nodes taking a long time or unable to get a full Internet access once reconnected."

"I had a Netgear Nighthawk router that ended up getting a bug in it after a firmware upgrade. ... The bug didn't allow me to filter by MAC address. ... I had to end up actually editing the HTML of the router page to get it to work. ... It was a known issue on Netgear's website for years, but they never fixed it."

"random disconnects that made me want to pull my hair out"
"However, even after a firmware upgrade it kept losing connection. Sometimes up to six times per day."

"throughput just randomly drops to 1kbps"
"Before holiday I was full wired backhaul and most fancy stuff turned off but still I was facing issues. ... The firmware resulted in worse reliability. Family switched to cellular and hot spotting."
"It’s a good system…..until your modem looses internet and the whole LAN side of your network stops functioning. ... When the internet goes down, Deco gets confused and the general response is that the LAN also goes down until internet is restored."

bstpeg 1.0I recently bought a Deco mesh system from Costco that came with 3 nodes. I put the main node on my first floor connected to my router (in your case it would connect to the ONT and serve as the router, or you could keep using the router and put the mesh in AP mode, which I did). I put a wireless node in my basement and another on my second floor and I’m very happy with the setup.
I got the BE11000. The 6E probably would’ve been sufficient but I was hoping for something future-proof and it got good reviews.

DreamArez 1.0Are you adverse to installing access points? I’d recommend going the Ubiquiti route if you’re not. If you are, grab the Deco’s off eBay and you’ll save some money plus get full fat tri band WiFi 7. https://ebay.us/m/35O3hp If you want to get equipment on a budget, Woot regularly has Arris equipment for dirt cheap. I can’t attest to how reliable they are at scale, but I hooked my parents up with a 3 pack on WiFi 6E for $60 and they’ve had no issues. https://www.woot.com/category/computers/networking-communication
HotSlothsInYourArea 1.0Just got this a week and a half ago. Easy setup, rock solid connection since.
iliketorubherbutt 1.0I setup a Deco BE11000 3x mesh network for my house (2 story 3800sq ft) back in April of this year. Running FW 1.1.7 and everything runs great. Have a 1GB Fiber to my house and pretty much get full speed if in the same room as a unit, otherwise typical speed around my house varies but never really drops any lower than 650MB. Decent signal outside as far away as 80ft. Replaced an Arris WiFi6 mesh network that I had had for about 3.5 years (no real issue with it I simply wanted to upgrade to WiFi7).
JJViper4 1.0I got the 3 pack Deco BE11000 from Costco about 4 months ago and haven't had any issues. It solved all the the Wi-Fi problems I was experiencing with Spectrum's provided router.
madstached 1.0The be 11000 are the latest with Wi-Fi 7. Looks like they have really good backhaul so even if you're not connecting the access points over wire, you'll still maintain good connection. I wouldn't worry too much about the gaming
The be11000 can function as AP. They just also have mesh backhaul built in as well so you got options.
stuman1974 1.0I like my BE11000 set as well, except every 4-6 weeks my wired backhaul craps out. No idea why. Just pull the plug and reset the wire-connected nodes, and back online. But the wireless connection between the nodes has been perfectly rock-solid.
sunrisebreeze 1.0**Summary:** If you want to test a WiFi 7 mesh system, get one with MLO (multi link operation) and tri-band (2.4ghz/5ghz/6ghz) for maximum range and speed. Costco has a great return policy and they are selling the TP-Link Deco BE11000 (also known as BE63) 3-unit kit (router and two mesh nodes) for $339.99. Amazon also sells it for $369.99 with 20% cashback if you use an Amazon Prime Visa (so only $295.99 after cashback!). If it doesn't work out you could always return it. Prices may change, that's what I see at this moment as I write this. Black Friday is a good time to buy technology like routers and mesh systems, so your timing is good. **Details:** I'm actually not very familiar with WiFi 7, so I am wondering how much a WiFi 7 mesh system could outperform a WiFi 6 mesh system (in terms of connection strength and network speed). Some WiFi 7 mesh systems use MLO (multi link operation) to pull all the bands together (2.4ghz, 5ghz and 6ghz) so there is more bandwidth for data transmission. In some cases WiFi 7 mesh may only be dual band; 2.4ghz & 5ghz. That is another thing to watch for with WiFi 7; 6ghz band is not mandatory in the spec so you will see "budget" routers/mesh systems only offer dual-band hardware. You will often need to pay more for tri-band WiFi 7 mesh (2.4ghz/5ghz/6ghz). And some premium mesh systems will be quad-band like the ASUS BQ16 Pro (2.4ghz/5ghz/6ghz-1/6ghz-2). BTW I think the BQ16 Pro is way overpriced and do not recommend it! My WiFi 6 mesh system is tri-band. ASUS XT8 (2.4ghz and 5ghz for clients and a 2nd 5ghz band for mesh communication). It works well if units are in wireless or wired (ethernet-connected) backhaul. I think the dedicated 5ghz band helps a lot (and each mesh unit has 6 internal antennas placed at various angles/orientations, to maximize signal reception/transmission). So if you want to try WiFi 7 mesh, I'd advise to make sure it's at least tri-band and uses MLO, to give you maximum benefit of higher speeds when the mesh nodes are used wirelessly. I also recommend purchasing from somewhere with a good return policy. I don't want to send more business to Amazon but they have a great 30 day return policy. Even better if you could buy a system from Costco, as their return policy is excellent in most cases! If you don't like the system or it doesn't work out you could then return it and try something else. Sounds like you want to "future proof" (not sure if that is possible as tech is always changing but I understand your point!) so you should probably not consider WiFi 6/WiFi 6E and just go for the latest standard, WiFi 7. You could save money by buying a WiFi 6 mesh system but then you'd probably have to upgrade sooner, than if you bought WiFi 7 today. I agree with u/MondoBleu \- Best to connect a wireless access point (WAP) via ethernet connection to your router. A wired connection will give you more stability, higher speeds and is less susceptible to interference. Good luck!
Deco BE63? That's Wifi 7 I believe. Edit: actually I think it's this system. Not BE63. https://www.tp-link.com/us/deco-mesh-wifi/product-family/deco-be11000/ That’s a good system, not sure why it’s not working for you.
