Deco 7 Elite BE85

That’s a difficult question and at the end of the day only you can make it. I chose to buy a fourth BE85 about 5 months ago and I don’t regret it. Also, if TP-Link decides to end security updates, then I can install a firewall/router switch between the modem and the Deco router. Next, set all the De

No updates listed on the TPLink site for any of the BE-85 versions - https://www.tp-link.com/us/support/download/deco-be85/v2.60/ No sign of this in the app. Might be a very limited rollout. edit the App looks different though, now has an AI assistant which just returns a 'Failed' when you try to us

I run Adguard home as an ad blocker and a multiple DNS query thingie. After investigating I pinned down the issue. Some of

I've had good personal experience with Decos and many others review them positively. Have not seen Dlink used in the mesh space much. After looking at your link I've used a mesh of 3 of that exact unit. Some drawbacks, if your internet connection is >700mbit and you expect speeds that much on the wi

You use the MLO network on your Deco by any chance? I have three Deco BE85s and after the most recent firmware update, my eufy devices said they're connected but showed offline. I have 2 S340 cameras and a s380 hub. I troubleshooted and reset the s340s and the issues persisted and I was only able to

Currently have 1G internet in a 2000sf house. I’ve been using Deco BE85 until it’s decided to brick itself this weekend. Third mesh system that’s done that to me. Looking for something that won’t have to be replaced again the second warranty ends. The house is older, so mostly wood walls. I only hav
