Deco BE63

The main reasons I went with the BE63 were: - Great price for a basic mesh system. I didn't want to pay a lot with Wif8 routers and devices coming. - With storage and RAM prices as unfortunate as they are, my goal of creating a true NAS was put on hold. The TP-Links were one of the only options that

When I bought my BE63’s, I thought I was getting new, current hardware. I had no idea that I was getting version one while TP-Link was already shipping version two. By the time I found out, nobody wanted to hear about replacing them with the current version. Since then I tell anyone who’s looking at

I have the 2 pak TP-Link BE63 and I love it. Paid around $270 from Amazon.

I’m on low ping, no packet loss but I’m skipping all over the game. As others have said, WiFi is not a great choice for gaming, and Ethernet would be the way to go. But, this symptom you describe may be indicative of something called buffer bloat, which can cause latency spikes under load. You can l

Don't worry about the US ban on foreign-produced consumer routers. There are no routers produced entirely in the USA, even US-based companies all have all or some of their major components made overseas. And the ban only affects approvals of new models, not currently-approved models. It will take ye

Depends on your budget and internet speed. As an other poster said you’d want one AP per floor. Get a 3 pack of TP Link deco- X55 or X75 would be fine or if you want more future proof then BE63 or similar. Should be in the 200-500 euro range. Omada and Unifi are better solutions, require a bit more

You should have the BE63 nodes in mesh wifi router mode, which uses the mesh for your router. You could also use the mesh in AP mode, but it sounds like there's something wrong with your IP Passthrough setup. I have an AT&T gateway here in IP Passthrough mode connected to an Asus BT10 mesh, and it w

I know you can mix & match different Deco units but in my experience it leads to too many issues. I recommend repurposing or selling off the M5's and getting more BE63's. Other Mesh systems don't let you mix & match different model numbers like Deco does, and it's probably for good reason. By the wa

I would first make sure your Orbi is using wired backhaul. That should improve latency even using WiFi 6. WiFi 7 can provide better latency, especially if your devices support MLO and 6GHz. If your devices do support 6GHz and MLO, then replacing your Orbi with a tri-band WiFi 7 mesh system, (using w

Your current setup (XB8 + xPods) is not true mesh (more like extenders) so it's not surprising you are having issues. Sources say that these two products are at the top of the mesh heap: Performance: Eero Pro 7 Value: TP‑Link Deco BE63 Placement is key, you need to place the mesh satellites in a spo
