BE5000 Dual-Band Wi-Fi 7 Mesh System | Deco BE25(2-Pack)

Had this for about a week now and only thing noted was a tricky set up process but not overly difficult. For any one reading, unlike the Google Wifis, all the routers in the box have the capacity of being the "main" router. So far it's handling my google home audio system nicely and a bunch of cameras and electronics. I do notice a slight lag once in a while as I have about 20-28 devices connected to the routers but my internet speed is also only 300 down in my area.One things for sure is the app associated with the TP-Link Deco shows all devices connected and to which router and you can customize it to to have MoL, IoT and guest wifi networks so the app gives a lot and it very user friendly.Giving this a 4 stars as I think there could be room for improvements with the number of device connections (I also own a lot of tech lol) but honestly it blows my Google wifi 5 out of the water with its range and connectivity alone right now so definitely a good purchase I think. I'll let you all know if something break later on.

I waited nearly a month to write this review. Setup was a breeze and the control is as good as I've ever had in a network system.Over the past several weeks I have had the Deco-BE25 WiFi 7 3pk up and running through wired backhaul in our home and it has been nothing short of fantastic. I haven't experienced any drops or interruptions in my signal the entire time. Signal strength is better than my ISP provided all in one unit and the amount of settings and control I have is so much more and much easier to manage through the Deco app.I've had nothing but a great experience with this system and the app. I love being able to chose which band to use for each device and I also love the fact I can direct each device to use a specific unit as it's signal source rather than have it roam. I can rename every device to help me better identify it in my system and I've been able to direct each unit to the best possible unit for optimal signal strength. This made it a seamless transition getting all my 2.5ghz smart bulbs and such connected. I can create a blocked list and guest wifi effortlessly through the app and everything can be done in realtime without having to reset the units. If I want to make a system setting change I can just do it through the app and it applies to my system without missing a beat. This is truly a refined and well thought out system.I will acknowledge that I'm using these units through wired backhaul and have no experience with the wireless signal. But for my use case I couldn't have asked for a better experience. The APP truly is one of the best in the industry and one of the better experiences I've had in home networking. The units run cool and quiet and have been flawless in their reliability and signal strength. Highly recommended from me.

Bought these recently (3 pack) to replace my ISP wireless. We weren't getting the coverage we needed for all our devices (we have about 100 smart devices in our house that are all running via wireless), with some occasionally dropping connectivity, TV's buffering etc. Decided to buy these after some research thinking they would be adequate. Boy, are they ever. In fact I have 3 installed and could probably get away with just 2! My house is 3 story 3000 sq ft, and coverage is everywhere with these. In fact, we have roaming turned on, and most of the time, devices stay connected to the original connected AP. Very strong signal. Easy to configure and great price!

This is the best home networking device I have owned. My house is a 3 story walk out and I always struggled getting strong signals to every floor. Had tried my internet providers extenders, after market, etc and was never satisfied. The builders of the house had never installed cat5 to the main floor (just the 2nd floor and basement walkout). After installing the three decos (wired in basement and 2nd floor) and the main floor is the wireless, it's unbelievable the difference in signal quality, range and speed.I have internet in all areas of my house, garage and onto the back deck. Very easy to install, seamless firmware update and the app actually is decent. Very impressed and would recommend.

I have a 3Gbps fiber plan with Bell in a 600 sq. ft. downtown Toronto condo. Even though I’m using Bell's latest Giga Hub 2.0 (WiFi 7), the signal struggled because the modem is tucked away in the laundry closet. After testing the TP-Link Deco BE25 (WiFi 7), the improvement in stability and speed—especially upload—is staggering.The "Battle of WiFi 7" (Real-World Benchmarks): I ran side-by-side tests from my living room, and the results speak for themselves:* Bell Giga Hub 2.0 (WiFi 7): 1133 Mbps Down / 220 Mbps Up.* TP-Link Deco BE25 (WiFi 7): 1490 Mbps Down / 1451 Mbps Up.* Wired via uGreen 2.5G Switch: 2279 Mbps Down / 2358 Mbps Up.The most shocking part? The Deco delivered over 6 times the upload speed compared to the Giga Hub 2.0. In a condo environment with lots of interference, having a symmetrical 1.4Gbps connection over WiFi is incredible for my NAS backups and trading sessions.Pro Setup Tip: To maximize performance, I set the Deco to Access Point mode and disabled the WiFi radios on the Bell Giga Hub. This prevents signal "noise" and lets the Deco’s WiFi 7 tech handle the traffic efficiently.* Pros:* Incredible Upload Speeds: Solves the common "slow upload" issue on ISP routers.* WiFi 7 & 2.5G Ports: Perfectly matches high-tier fiber plans (3Gbps+).* Condo Friendly: Overcomes the "modem in a closet" problem common in Toronto.* Stability: No more quality drops during 4K streaming or video calls.Cons:* Requires Permanent Wired Connection: Unlike some simple extenders, the main Deco unit must be physically connected to your modem via Ethernet at all times. This can be a limitation if your modem is in a tight spot (like a laundry closet).* Port Limitation: Since one of the ports is dedicated to the modem, you are left with only one extra 2.5Gbps port for your other devices (I solved this by adding a uGreen 2.5G switch).Final Verdict: If you are on a high-speed Bell plan, the Giga Hub 2.0’s placement is likely limiting your potential. Adding a Deco BE25 isn't just an "extra"; it's how you actually get the speeds you’re paying for. An absolute must-have for power users.
