Deco BE85 security support ends Sep 2026: worth buying a 3rd one now?

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

Is TP Link a good replacement for Orbi?

I would check to see which router brands are the ones most frequently hacked. I’m pretty sure TP-Link is up there near the top. These are commonly targeted or found with severe security issues: 1. TP-Link - Often ships with outdated firmware. - Numerous vulnerabilities in web interfaces and UPnP. -

Gaming Room Help

As long as your gaming room's AC power comes from the same service panel -- and has the same Earth ground -- as the main house, and you're not in a high lightning-risk area, running standard CAT6A UTP CMX will be fine. Use direct burial cable, such as from Syston or TrueCable (and check regarding co

Need your opinion and technical help on wifi mesh system.

For your setup with 800 Mbps FTTP and two floors, mesh is definitely the right call. Single router in garage won't reach bedroom 2 properly. Best options under 600 AUD: TP-Link Deco BE85 (WiFi 7) - 550 for 2-pack. Future-proof, tri-band, 10G port for your FTTP. Place one in garage, one upstairs cent

Dufy doorbell won't connect to app

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

Confused about which console to get for home.

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

Homelab - какво да използвам като алтернатива за ethernet кабел?

Имай предвид, че читава меш система за такова нещо с 2 сателита (WiFi 7, Tri или Quad-band) ще ти струва около 1000 евро. Всеки сателит отгоре още 500. Примерно Asus ZenWiFi BQ16 BE2500, TP-Link Deco BE85, Amazon eero Max 7... за по-малко от това хич не се занимавай, няма смисъл (казвам го от личен

Need your opinion and technical help on wifi mesh system.

Totally agree that mesh is the way to go. One thing to keep in mind with the brick veneer mentioned earlier: if Node 1 is in the garage, the signal has to punch through an external brick wall just to get to the rest of the house. In that specific layout, the extra cash for WiFi 7 (like the Deco BE85

3GB WOES

I've had the 3gb service from CF for a few months now and it's been amazing. I use a TP-Link Deco BE85 mesh system instead of the standard equipment supplied by CF. I have a CAT 8 coming from the ONT straight into one of the BE85 10gb ports and my speeds over WiFi 7 have been amazing. I've attached
