TP-Link Deco 7 BE23 Dual-Band BE3600 WiFi 7 Mesh Wi-Fi System | 4-Stream 3.6 Gbps, 160 Mhz | Covers up to 6,500 Sq.Ft | 2× 2.5G Ports Wired Backhaul | VPN,MLO,AI-Roaming, HomeShield, 3-Pack

So far so good. Installation was super easy. Download the tp-link app, plug in the first unit and connect it to your modem and let the app do the rest. I am using mine to bypass my Starlink v2 wifi since the base unit was too far away from most of my devices. after I set the first up, it had me place the second one, and withing minutes I was blazing along at a lot faster speed than I was. I am super happy so far. I've dealt with tp-link in the past and have always been happy with their products.

I’ve been testing the TP-Link Deco BE23 and it’s honestly a steal for a WiFi 7 setup. It isn't the fanciest system out there, but for the price, it’s hard to beat. The setup is dead simple. You just download the Deco app and it walks you through everything. I had three nodes running in about ten minutes without any headaches. Coverage is solid too. It’s rated for a huge area, and while it works great wirelessly, plugging the nodes into ethernet really unlocks the best speeds since this is a dual-band system. The IoT segregation is a huge win for me. You can set up a separate network just for your smart plugs and cameras. This keeps those cheaper devices away from your main gear and fixes those annoying connection drops older gadgets usually have. For the tech side, the VPN integration is actually useful. It supports WireGuard (NordVPN), which is fast, and you can pick exactly which devices use the VPN. I have my streaming box routed through it while the rest of the house stays on the normal connection. If you want future-proof tech without spending a grand, this is the one to get.

Setup is fast. Plug them in and download the app and you're up and running in a few minutes. The app is pretty feature-rich but easy to use. These are a big upgrade from my Wifi 5 Orbi units, which were also awesome. The Orbis were 10x the size, these are about as big as a large roll of tape. The app also auto-detects and integrates with some tp-link home automation stuff you might have (I have some outlet switches), so that was a nice surprise. The network is fast and signal strength is excellent. I live in an old house with plaster walls and have no problem covering the house, plus driveway, plus detached garage with the 3-unit kit.

I got to say I was insanely shocked by this system I have 1 gig fiber and this system had my right at 950mbps up and down which is amazing only 50mbps loss to have wireless high speed internet anywhere. I have a guest house with the guest house router and the other two in the main house all connected perfectly it’s a great system especially for the cost and you can do anything with those speeds.

Set ip was easy. Connection was a little more difficult, but no more so than any new internet device. The big benefit is reliability. It just works, unlike the Netgear junk it replaced. I upgraded after Netgear really gave me the runaround on a product that was still under warranty. Not much else to say. Stable connection. Good WiFi throughout my house. Glad I bought it.

This mesh Wi-Fi system was simple to install, and the companion app made the setup process quick and straightforward. Once everything was connected, I noticed stronger, more consistent coverage throughout my home, with fewer dead spots than before. Speeds have been excellent for streaming, gaming, and working from home, even with multiple devices connected at the same time. The Deco units have a clean, modern design that blends in nicely with the room, and the network has remained stable since installation. Overall, this is an excellent mesh system for anyone looking to upgrade to fast, dependable whole-home Wi-Fi.

I did not have a very good experience with the Deco 7. I have a mesh wi-fi system and was looking to update it, so I wanted to try a different product and for what it is supposed to do, the price point for this was a bargain. That was the only upside. The downside is getting all this to work properly. I hooked up the router and the two pods where the old one were. The router was doing its thing, but for the life of me I could not get the two pods to communicate with the router. I watched videos, went through the app again and followed their instructions. Now the router is not communicating with the app and the pods are not recognized. I turned everything off, disconnected everything, trashed the app and started the process all over again. Went though the same set-up through the app, and it did connect to one pod. Then that connection disappeared and needed to connect the pod over again. The app kept saying that it does not recognize the pod and to try again later. Connected to the TP-Link help line. It could never answer my question or resolve my problem. Automated bots can't do that and I kept getting the same instructions that never solved anything. I did put this all together and repeated everything . . . and it kept saying "try again later". Later came and went. Disconnected everything, trashed and reinstalled the app, watched more videos, contacted a friend, and went through the steps once again. The results are the same: the pods are not recognized. So after 7 hours of my life gone, everything was disconnected, trashed the app, put everything back in the box and returned it. I'm sorry to say that this just didn't work out for me. I connected my old mesh system and it worked perfectly. I'll stick with the same brand that is out of this orbi(t).

Very easy to setup. Works great and provides good coverage for the whole house (4700 sq ft). I like the ease that they can be placed anywhere and expand the coverage to areas as needed.
