Deco BE25

I’m not physically bypassing the GigaHub - so I’m not using my own ONT (too overkill for my use case). All you have to do is plug your router into one of the GigaHub’s LAN ports, set your router to use PPPoE, and enter your Bell credentials (the b1 username and password). That establishes the direct

After alot of research I think I've decided on the deco be25. From what I can make out that seems to suit me the best. I'm not going to be wiring in ethernet cables as of yet but they will support that also. 3 pack seems to be available for somewhere in the region of €250/300. Will report back once

None of those supposedly gigabit capable systems will be able to handle actual gigabit speeds. Gigabit ports cannot sustain full gigabit speeds due to overhead, and Wi-Fi five and six, especially on the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands, can't really do it either. Therefore, I would take a look at the Tp-Link Dec

I ended up getting two of the new Deco BE25-outdoor (BE5000) units from Amazon. both will only be plugged in to AC, no wired backhaul. I started by installing one unit at an AC plug on my front porch first. from my front porch where I previously was getting ~63 MPBs I am now getting ~250 Mbps (utili

Agreed. I have the Deco BE95, and it has a lot more horsepower and more RAM than the BE25, as a result I only see a 80-100 Mbps drop in speed (2.85 Gbps w/VPN vs 2.95 + Gbps w/no VPN). The Deco BE25 is a very very low end router.

Actually most WiFi 7 routers/APs/extenders don't have 6 GHz. The minimum for WiFi 7 compliance is 2.4+5 GHz operating together in MLO, and a lot of WiFi 7 devices only implement the bare minimum. The Deco BE65 OP mentions does have 6 GHz, but the Deco BE25 and BE3600 both do not, despite being WiFi

I think they are the same, different models per retail channel (Amazon vs. BestBuy)https://dongknows.com/tp-link-deco-be25-deco-be5000-mesh-system-review/

So there's a few things that you should note Advertised Wi-Fi speeds are tested in a lab with Zero Interference, your home is not a lab The age of your home would indicate there is a lot of flashing in the walls and metal in general which acts as a Wi-Fi killer Take advantage of 'Ethernet Backhaul'

I would do away with what you currently have and go with a mesh Wi-Fi system. This would be a way better solution than using Wi-Fi extenders. TP Link Deco is a solid solution and Amazon Prime Days is coming up soon, so there maybe some good deals. Something like this would do nicely: https://www.ama

If you want a simple answer my suggestion is a TP Link Deco BE25 Outdoor, its a Wifi 7 dual band indoor / outdoor mesh unit with 2.5gbps wired ports that support POE powering so could be used flexibly in the future is your circumstance change, also rain proof and rate for -20 to +140F temperatures.
