TP-Link Deco 7 Pro BE63 Tri-Band WiFi 7 BE10000 Whole Home Mesh System - 6-Stream 10 Gbps, 4x2.5G Ports Wired Backhaul, 4X Smart Internal Antennas, VPN, HomeShield, Free Expert Support (3-Pack)

Goodbye EERO! We have been EERO users since 2024 when our ISP (Frontier) sent us a “free” EERO 6 PRO for a $10 shipping fee. It was easy to setup and we got good, not great, performance. About 140 Mbps down and 50 Mbps up on a 500/500 system. Compared to the router it replaced we were happy. I run a home network with android phones/apple Ipads, windows computers ( 5 on W11, 1 on W10 ) , a Linux computer and 3 TVs . The EERO was easy to set up and easy to add additional nodes. Connections were never a problem with the EERO. The TVs would often buffer when we watched YouTube-TV. The android phone app used to control the EEROs has problems. The status screen, used to show the health of your EERO nodes, is terribly unreliable. Often it will show EERO nodes that are unplugged as online. We called EERO support and spent several hours debugging this problem. I had android 11 at the time but my son had android 16 and both showed the same error. EERO support wrote a ticket on this problem but we have noticed no improvement in the app since. In Feb 26, I noticed Frontier had been charging us $7/month for the “free” EERO. We called and they took it of the account and required that we ship the “free” EERO PRO 6 back to them – which we did. We were using EERO 6 non-pro nodes on our system for some time. The EERO PRO 6 ran so hot we were a little afraid of it. In mid March 26 we noticed Amazon had a EERO 7 PRO on sale for $199. We ordered that and connected it to our system. As always, it was super easy to add a new node with the EERO app. The EERO PRO 7 was getting 370 Mbps/170Mbps which seemed like a huge upgrade! We noticed in the status it was connecting on the 6Ghz network to our intel and AMD boxes. This was great! On the Linux host, it connected and did 350/320. Wow, awesome! The joy did not last long, however. Later in the day, on the intel computer I was seeing 120 / 57 again. I found it was back on the 5 GHz band. If I disconnected and reconnected. It reconnected and we were back on the 6Ghz band with great performance. Later in the day it had gone back to the 5 Ghz band along with disappointing performance. It appears the EERO are coded to go after the strongest signal even if a good signal on a super performance band is available. I read a review online of the TP-LINK DECO B3 10000. The review indicated you could set a per-device preference of the band to use for the connection. EERO does not have this! I felt this might be just what I needed. The router arrived later in the day thanks to prime! We installed the 3 node TP-LINK DECO B3 10000 in the same locations as 3 of our existing EERO nodes. The TP-LINK app is not as easy to use to install the system as the EERO app. After a couple of failed attempts we got it to install. Yea! Once you have the first node set up it is really easy to add the additional nodes. The app does let you customize the network to use for each device. Excellent! I checked the intel windows box again. It was hitting 430/420 on WiFi. Wow! Damn! We had not seen that performance before with EERO, ever! The other WiFi devices where showing good performance too. The LG/TCL TVs are no longer buffering on YouTube-TV. All of our phones were on the 6Ghz band. There was one big exception to this joy! The UBUNTU Linux 24.04 node wold not connect to the TP-LINK DECO. I suspect it was a problem with WPA3 protocol DECO uses! We tried all sorts of things but it would never work. Edit: We were able to show that it was related to WPA3 Simultaneous Authentication of Equals (SAE) or more commonly WPA Personal. We reenabled the eero 7 which uses wpa/wpa2 protocols for all bands. It connected. The TP-LINK DECO is set to only use WPA3 SAE for the 6 Ghz band. We set the preference for the device to connect any band in the DECO app as opposed to 6 Ghz. It connected immediately on the less efficient 5 Ghz band. End Edit: Wait, there are 4 Ethernet ports on the back of each TP-LINK DECO node. There is a network node ( EERO and TP-LINK) right by the Linux computer. Let me try that. It worked! The Linux box was hitting 480/470 with the Ethernet connection. The intel box, which is right next to the Linux box, hits over 500/500 when hooked up to the Ethernet cables from TP-LINK DECO. We have let it run for a couple days to see if there are gotchas. None so far. We have the winner. We are done with EERO. We are shipping the EERO PRO 7 back to Amazon tomorrow.

I purchased this to replace my 6E TP-Link since I was having some drop issues, but it turns out it wasn't my router. I decided to keep these anyway since I switched to a 1GB connection and wanted the headroom. The system was easy to set up and configure using the TP-Link app. It took a couple of attempts to get the two mesh nodes set up with the base station, but overall it was quite easy. In use the system is rock solid and fast. I have a 2300 square foot two story house with the base unit downstairs in the den, one node across the house, and another upstairs. Both nodes attach using a wireless backhaul and have a full strong signal even at distance. The system has now been running for 3 months straight without a glitch or reboot needed. I highly recommend thys system.

Final Update 2-May-2025: Okay I have grown to hate this mesh system and I seriously don't see myself purchasing another TP-Link device ever again! I suspected that the price point was good to be true and I was 100% correct. This mesh system is a hot mess and a great compilation of "unstability". It is constantly dropping connections to the Internet (it's not the ISP as they equipment remains up and running when the TP-Link is experiencing problems). This in no way compares to some of the other brands. This was supposed to be an upgrade from my two node Asus Wi-Fi 6E mesh system but now I see that was in a completely different class to this piece of junk.. Further Update: The tech support finally admitted that it was a FW issue and released a beta FW for me to upload manually and check. After successfully flashing the FW with the beta version the mesh remained up for me to confirm the new FW and that it was pushed to all three nodes. I then tried activating the VPN and encountered the same problem. I was able to deactivate the VPN but it brought my entire network is down as none of my clients remained connected to the WiFi for longer than a minute or two and they couldn't access the internet. This experience calls to question if the beta FW they gave me was properly tested suggesting that there is a lack of a proper quality assurance process. Fortunately I have a technical background so I was able to download and revert to a prior FW version, disable auto update and restore my network and get the VPN working again. I will try to exchange this mesh system but rest assured I never want to see the name TP-Link ever again!! This was truly an atrocious experience and am appalled that companies actually treat their customers in this manner and still expect to be in business.. Update after 1 month: This has to be one if the absolutely worst purchases I have ever made!! This excuse for a mesh system spends more time down than up. The VPN via my NORD subscription simply stopped working and the techs wasted my time troubleshooting when it is obvious that the issue is the router and not NORD itself as the same config works in the OpenVPN client for Windows. Every day I wake up I discover yet another reason to dislike this piece of junk.. I WILL NEVER BUY TP-LINK AGAIN AND WILL NEVER RECOMMEND THEM!! ========================= Original Review: Pros: 1. Setup is very intuitive (great App). 2. Great performance in terms of speed (wired/wireless backhaul). Cons: 1. iOT network is pointless as it's on the same VLAN (false sense of security). 2. The Guess network is pointless as it's on the same VLAN (false sense of security). 3. You cannot isolate devices on the guest network. 4. The VLAN option is tied to IPTV functionality (extremely poor design for a solution at this price point). 5. Extremely limited feature set overall 6. Not very stable and specific clients can periodically fail to connect for whatever reason until the device is rebooted. You get the feeling that it's a beta product because these same devices work fine on other routers.. At the end of the day this is a residential device! This is not a corporate or soho classified device. There is no basic firewall, there is no comprehensive DHCP reservation functionality, etc. If you are looking for a robust, secure and feature rich solution look elsewhere - this is NOT the solution.. Also, all of a sudden, the VPN no longer works with no change in configuration. Support was useless as he kept telling me that the issue was with Nord and hence never really listened.. Meanwhile the exact same config file works on an Asus router with no issues.. I cannot recommend this mesh set. It's simply not a quality product!

5 star wifi mesh!!! Finally solved all my wifi signal and speed problems i had before in my 2 floor house. Now i get 1GB speed in both floors with only 2 units! Very easy to install and take control of the system.

I purchased the 3-pack of BE63 devices to replace an Asus Mesh network. The Asus had supported us well until an early March release of firmware caused the router and mesh nodes to go offline often. A FW update released in late March was supposed to address the issue, but the issue remained and my router dropped offline often. I sought assistance from Asus and was given the old "let's reset everything and start from scratch" approach - something I didn't want to do as I knew the issues would remain. I took a deep dive with these TP-Link Deco units. They're not cheap but offer WiFi 7, which will "future proof" my setup for the foreseeable future. Most of what I've read and reviewed indicate these are a breeze to setup. That wasn't the case for me. I setup one of the devices as the main router. After repeated retries to find the Deco with my Android device it was finally detected. It took another few attempts for the Deco to "see" the internet. It eventually connected and I saved the WiFi information to my phone as part of the setup. Setting up the additional two nodes was a piece of cake - they simply needed to be plugged in and allowed to boot and were eventually detected by the app on the phone. But that's when the fun began. NO OTHER wireless clients would connect. They'd either indicate the network password was incorrect (I repeatedly checked the setting to ensure we were using the correct one) or that it simply couldn't connect to the network. I chatted with a Deco technician who eventually recommended resetting the Deco router and nodes, choosing one of the satellite nodes to be the main router, uninstalling and then reinstalling the Deco app. These steps worked. Clients were able to connect to all three points of access. An FW update was detected by the app and applied to all 3 devices in about 5 - 8 minutes time. A couple of notes. I used the same SSID with this new network as I had with the Asus network, the thinking being that wireless clients would automatically connect once the network was back up (and eventually accessible). During setup, however, I learned that setup mandated an 8-character minimum password. My previous password, while strong, was only 7-positions in length. This necessitated visiting every wireless client to update the network password for each. These include several Ring cameras, a Ring Chime Pro, several smart bulbs and 5 Bose Soundtouch devices (the Bose units were really "fun" to reconnect). During my chat with tech support I asked if there was any way to suppress the 8-character minimum but, alas, there isn't one. Network speed is impressive. I've got Verizon FiOS with 1Gb up & down. Wireless clients (none of which support WiFi 7 (yet)) exceeded 900Mb up & down. Speed can only improve as WiFi 7 devices are added to the network and Verizon eventually offers speeds exceeding 1Gbps. Signal strength from all clients is strong, indicating my coverage is good. I'm looking for a heat map application that I can use to determine actual coverage. All in all, I'm pleased with network performance, but setup (in my case, anyway) was not as advertised. Recommended!

I purchased this product seven weeks ago, and the setup went smoothly. Last night, my wireless devices lost connectivity, and I couldn’t determine the cause. I contacted TP-Link support, and the agent emailed me a walkthrough guide for setting up the system again. However, she didn’t clearly explain that I needed to start over with a new network setup. I was confused and called back. This time, I was assisted by Irisdianne. She walked me through the new network setup and ensured my system was functioning properly. Her assistance made the experience smooth and pain-free. I truly appreciated her knowledge and calm demeanor, which made the process so easy.

TLDR: Deco BE83 (BE10000) is just as fast as BE95 (BE33000) for most homes but silent/no fans. If you normally opt for the latest & greatest hardware, a word of caution, I originally went with the Deco BE95 but found it to be overkill. Unless you have faster than 2.5Gbps fiber internet coming into your home + Cat6 Ethernet cables + a fast switch, the Deco BE95 will be no faster the cheaper WiFi 7 Deco BE83. The Deco BE95s are big and can emit noticeable noise when the fans kick in. Deco BE83s have no fans and run quiet. The Deco App and setup is good. Config is App-only. I've used web-based/IP address config for older systems but find the app to be a better experience overall. The phone app is MUCH better designed than the desktop app. I wouldn’t bother with the desktop app TBH. Overall the physical design of the Deco BE95s and BE63s are good and I appreciate that they're plain white cylinders. The LEDs can be turned off on both (permanently or on a schedule, at night for instance) which is great. The external transformer of the BE95s are larger bricks & AC power cables that can create a cable mess. The BE63s have smaller, more normal, plug-in-wall power bricks. I like these mounts to hang on the wall from Bangcheer: Wall Mount for TP-Link Deco BE63/ BE65/BE67/BE68/BE10000/BE11000/BE14000 Mesh Wi-Fi 7 System, Saving Space Aluminum Alloy Wall Hanging Bracket Holder with Cable Storage Rack (White-2Pack). Some older switches (Cisco SG200 Smart Switch for example) don’t work with the Deco’s IEEE 1905.1 Ethernet Backhaul Protocol. I had to temporarily wire the Decos in series before they hit the switch to make wired backhaul work. Deco will opt for WiFi backhaul on its own if the Ethernet isn’t up to snuff. A new Ubuquiti Pro Max 16 switch replaced the old Cisco and remedied the issue and now all nodes are plugged directly into the switch rather than in series. TP-Link switches also are said to work for Ethernet backhauls without issue. But I wanted a fan-less 16-port 2.5Gbps switch and TP-Link options weren’t great in that dept. I setup a three node Deco BE95 system. It was zippy and worked well but I didn’t like the fan noise. So I changed to a three node Deco BE83 system and haven't notice any drop in performance. BE63s run cooler, no fans, and deliver the same speed if you're under 2.5Gbps internet service into your building.

Love these things. I set these up as a mesh system for the ground floor, which doesn't have any router signal. Just connect one of them by Ethernet, then let the rest repeat off of that. You'll get great coverage for the entire ground floor. Also, setup is super easy as TP-Link has a great app for this. Thinking of buying another pack just to extend coverage even more.

La mejor inversión que pude haber hecho solucionó todos mis problemas lo utilizo en una casa de 3 pisos y me funciona excelente

Easy to set up, app connects quickly, and the speeds are top notch. Probably the best option for the price.

Anteriormente tenía un sistema de 3 Decos M5 los cuales me salieron muy buenos, sin embargo, nunca logré obtener toda la velocidad contratada con mi plan de internet, ni siquiera conectado con en el Deco principal. Todas mis conexiones entre Decos han sido Wireless por lo que siempre se degrada un poco la velocidad, sobre todo con los Decos Satelites. Desde hace un tiempo quería dar un brinco a las nuevas tecnologías del mercado y despues de leer bastantes opiniones positivas me incliné por comprar este dispositivo y creanme que es excelente!!!, buen rango, velocidad igual a la contratada en la mayoría de los casos incluyendo los Decos Satélites aun cuando siguen estando conectados inalambricamente, en conclusión, es una excelente opción.

Excelente sistema de malla. Lo use para sustituir mi Deco M3 y se nota la diferencia además de que tiene mayor cobertura. Muy recomendable.
