TP-Link – Deco 7 Elite BE22000 Tri-Band Wi-Fi 7 Whole Home Mesh Router System – Deco BE85 (3-Pack) – White

Best professional - The best product for my internet and wifi in my house eliminated all the problemsThe most effective product for my internet and Wi-Fi connection in my home resolved all the issues.

Excellent Performance – Future-Proof WiFi 7 System - I recently upgraded to the TP-Link Deco BE85 3-Pack WiFi 7 Mesh System and the difference has been incredible. This system delivers extremely fast, stable, and reliable internet throughout my entire home. The coverage is outstanding—it easily handles large spaces with no dead zones, and I get strong signal even in areas where my previous router struggled. With support for Wi-Fi 7 speeds up to 22 Gbps and multi-gig ports, everything from streaming and gaming to working from home runs seamlessly.  Setup was surprisingly simple using the Deco app, and the system automatically optimizes connections, switching devices to the best band without interruptions. It also handles a large number of devices (smart home, gaming, phones, etc.) without slowing down.  What really stands out is how future-proof this system is. Even if you don’t have many Wi-Fi 7 devices yet, you’re fully prepared for the next generation of internet speeds and performance. Pros: • Ultra-fast speeds and low latency • Excellent whole-home coverage (no dead zones) • Handles many devices effortlessly • Easy setup and user-friendly app • Multi-gig (10Gbps) ports for high-speed internet Cons: • Premium price (but worth it if you want top performance) Overall, this is one of the best mesh systems available today, especially for larger homes or anyone who wants the fastest and most reliable network possible.

Poor Performance - Disappointed in the performance and range of this setup. I have a 1 gig fiber connection but can never get over 450 upload with a 800 download speed. I OPt'd for these over the Netgear due to the performance issues with Netgear frequent disconnects and the ridiculous price for a comparable unit. I wished I had purchased the Netgear for the amazing performance. Still reviewing my options to trade it.

Unreliable Product – Failed After Only Two Years - I purchased a TP-Link Deco system expecting a reliable, long-term solution for my home network. After only two years of normal use, the main unit completely failed and required constant resets leading up to that point. Customer support confirmed the product was out of warranty and offered no real resolution — just the suggestion to buy another one. That’s unacceptable for a product at this price point. I will not be buying another Deco unit and will be switching to UniFi for a more dependable setup. Save yourself the frustration and look elsewhere for something that actually lasts.

Great router set - Bought this set on sale for $700 and it works great. Handles +70 devices for my smart home like a champ

Fast yet inconsistent. - Wi-Fi is good most of the time. Sometimes the system goes offline for no reason and you must wait up to 20 minutes to use the internet again.

Good value for strong wifi 7 performance - Initially had lots of problems with these routers but after several updates they work well, some issues still if you try to use the 240mhz sized channels on the 5ghz band but that is probably on the wifi client side.

Good coverage. - Good coverage but the kit would be better if it was 4 receivers rather than the 3 as I have to buy another kit to cover 5500 sq ft of cinder block and metal construction.

Excellent product - As advertised.. fast, long range, easy to install.

Great product - Very easy to setup. Since I've installed them, my WiFi area exceeds my expectations. Having the management App on phone makes it a breeze to monitor my network

Worth of money - They provide great connections with wire back haul of 10 G is great feature and super fast!

Disappointing purchase - I’ve had nothing but trouble with this system. I’ve owned for over 6 months, and my Google devices, Nest Devices regularly drop and are unable to remain connected.

I implore you not to purchase a TP-Link BE85 Mesh - As a current owner of a 2nd-generation Eero mesh system, I have been very happy with the brand. It has consistently delivered reliable wireless internet across my home with no issues whatsoever. However, the WiFi 5 technology is now 6 years old and I had set my sights on upgrading and future-proofing my wireless mesh network. For months, I waited for the TP-LINK BE85 or BE95 to go on sale. Despite the mixed reviews these mesh units have received online, I thought it would be worth the gamble to see if it improved my home network. On Amazon Prime Day, the price of the BE85 3-pack dropped to $799, which was the perfect opportunity for me to finally grab these. Within 10 hours, I set up and then returned the TP-LINK BE85 mesh system THE GOOD Installation was a breeze and took under 15 minutes for all three units. The app does a great job of guiding you through the setup. As soon as you have the main unit connected, the other two are already programmed to connect. Essentially, they become plug-and-play. Each Deco unit is rock solid in construction. It has 2x10Gbps and 2x2.5Gbps ports. This is great to have should I ever consider upgrading to a 2GB Internet service, which is not likely, but still futureproofing. The Decos also has a USB port to connect and network an external drive, which I found to be one of the most compelling features. After installation and network connection, I put the mesh unit in AP mode as two of the units had backhaul ethernet connections. I have a 1GB Internet feed I was elated to see significant wireless speed increases across my entire home with no dead spots. My speed increased to an average of 200mbps per location I tested. When I was within 6 feet of one of the wired Decos I would get a 600mbps connection (compared to 312mbps with the Eero). Further away from the nodes, I would see wireless speeds of 250mbps (compared to 54mbps with the Eero). I should note here that, according to the Deco app, I believe everything was connected to the 2.4Ghz/5 Ghz network so I don't even know if my devices were taking advantage of WiFi 6 or WiFi 7. Since I used the same SSID and password of my Eero mesh, almost everything immediately connected to the new network. THE BAD My five Nest cameras disconnected. Surprisingly, my Ring cameras remained connected. I am pretty confident I could have manually removed and then added each of the Nest cameras to the new mesh network, but that is a huge hassle given the fact it can't be done through the Nest app. I have to get up on a ladder and rescan the QR code on each camera which is a major, major hassle. I would have done it, however, if not for the next issue... My devices were constantly disconnecting and then reconnecting to the network for 10 hours post-installation. This included my iPhone, my laptops, and my Amazon devices. I did extensive Google research and played around with some recommended changes in the Deco app. This included turning off roaming and manually telling each connected client to disconnect from the mesh network, none of which helped. Mind you, these were all TP-LINK support recommendations. I did come across something that made me decide I needed to return this Deco mesh system... Countless -- and I mean countless complaints on Reddit and other message boards about network instability with many of the TP-LINK Deco mesh systems. Don't believe me? Google, "TP-LINK DECO DISCONNECTS" and you will be horrified with the results that you find. These things are essentially trash. For so many people to have the same mesh network instability that I am currently experiencing, tells me that this is a highly unreliable brand. And, sure, there are many positive reviews on Amazon (as well as bad ones), and generally only people who have issues with their products end up posting a bad review --- but it's still very obvious to me that this is not a reliable product. Many posts I read indicated that customers who returned their TP-LINK looked to move to Eero. CONCLUSION I am back on my old Eero system. Everything is working fine, albeit I'm back to slower wireless speeds, which for the moment, is okay. I would consider upgrading to the Eero Pro 6+ mesh units (at around $300 for a 3-pack on sale), but I am not certain they will give me significant gains as the more powerful Deco units did. Then there's the Eero Pro 7 Max. It will probably come down to $1k for a 3-pack soon, but it's not getting very good reviews. I may just have to suck it up and remain with my 2nd generation Eero mesh system until better hardware gets released.

Don’t Buy - Horrible. Connection is very spotty even though you will have full strength. You loose connection for no reason. App is no help, just says good health. Customer service is non existent. Stick with Linksys or Google.

Bought in March 2024 and by September 2024 I have nothing but issues. I was trying to go away from Asus routers due to the fact they keep having firmware issues after a while, but the customization on those routers were ideal. I wanted to use these strictly as APs and they failed miserably.

Could not work in my smart home with 190 devices - Bought this on two occasions hopefully it would work but did not work with my Smart home containing around 190 devices back-and-forth with Tech Support for 10 hours straight and multiple emails. Multiple levels still cannot get it to work properly.

Fast and easy upgrade for my old mesh network - I bought the TP-Link Deco BE22000 3 pack to replace my aging, and malfunctioning, Linksys Velop 3 node mesh wifi. This was the easiest installation I've ever done. I had the information from my previous setup and kept most of the same settings so as not to disrupt most of the current devices on my network. The ability to use the IoT network to isolate all of my 2.4GHz security cameras and video doorbells is fantastic! All that traffic no longer plagues the rest of the devices and their performance. I couldn't be happier with the ease of installation, maintenance, and administration of the TP-Link mesh network. I do wish the security software wasn't subscription based but rather a one time fee but I guess everyone is moving towards this model.

Worth every penny, made my WiFi 30x faster - Even though they're a bit expensive, these are absolutely worth every penny. After upgrading my nest wifi pro 6E mesh network to these, my Internet speed went from 50MBPS to 1400+ MBPS! Plus the connection is way my reliable, consistent, and doesn't randomly disconnect my smart home devices at the edge of my home (e.g. my security cameras and doorbell)

HUGE upgrade from the "G**gle Nest Pro" - A long time "bring your own modem" person. I replaced a Google Nest Pro set up after getting fed-up with all of the ridiculous quirks. Google was helpful however my home had surpassed the limits of the the system and the flaws were evident. After researching for awhile, I settled on this TP-Link Deco 85, 3-pack. My home is an open floor plan however is four levels and outdoor cameras can be mounted a longer distance away. With the Google system I maxed out around 700mbps. I am maxing out at 1.2gbps now using the TP-Link. The app is super easy to use, and setting up a guest network was straightforward. Keep in mind that these are LARGE. Less than (but close to) the size of a Quaker Oats container. They have built in fans to dissipate heat but they do get noticeably warm. I have 40 devices connected, including a YouTube content streamer, PS5 gamer, cameras, and multiple devices streaming content all at once. No issues with bandwidth. Also using an Arris SB8200 which has plenty of capacity. Overall, VERY impressed.

So far so really good - Have had this set up for about a week so far, and I am really impressed with the solid connectivity and speeds I am getting. Really easy to set up, and the app is pretty decent. Only small issue is reconnecting all my devices, but that is not really a function of this mesh system, and I knew that going into purchasing this. Not sure it is completely worth the high price point compared to other systems, but I am really happy with it so far.
