TP-Link – Deco BE16000 Wi-Fi 7 Quad-Band Whole Home Multi-Gig Mesh Router System (3-Pack) – White

Easy setup and control - This system was by far the easiest to setup and configure into all my existing gear

Failed BestBuy Customer Service - Was sold a bill of Goods, install, setup and more! BestBuy Mo-showed, didn’t communicate, even though I called and confirmed they never called the day before as promised and failed to show up and failed to deliver! Worst customer service experience Ever!!

Does everything I wanted and more. - Supports all my devices. I'm now expanding my smart home even more. I literally live in the middle of a 60 acre square field and have 4 router mesh installed. 3 are hard-wired into the main one in the basement. Two near exterior walls and one outside. All 8,000 square feet inside is covered AND the entire 60 acre farm field gets a signal. 2TB network attached storage (SSD drive) works great for sharing and backing up files on all PCs. 3 network printers attached can be used by all PCs and phones. Guest WiFi band in use for secure and controlled visitor usage. This is what I wanted when replacing my last router. These high-end models do it all. The coverage surprised me the most. Also that they are all identical units (mesh nodes are not lesser nodes). You can literally install each one at a different house or hook them all together (good redundancy/backup plan). I am now doing things I never thought possible. I'm already at 35 connected devices just reconnecting my existing stuff. Now I'm looking to do 25 exterior soffit lights on a hard-wired timer/switch. I plan to replace them all with 25 smart bulbs and my house will be ready to go for all the seasons (no re-wiring house). Just group them together and create an Alexa routine. Possibilities are endless if I can control everything on my property!

I really wanted to like this router. - It's not the worst you can buy, but for $900, you wouldn't expect a company to nickel and dime you but the app is riddled with so much stuff they want you to subscribe to, what's the point of charging $900 up front? The range is good, but even with QoS in place, gaming gets unreliable (pc is plugged directly into one of the mesh routers) and streaming 4k while someone is gaming will make for a bad picture. I got this specific unit because of the wireless backhaul feature that's advertised. I can't run cat 5 through the house, so I got this thinking it would help, but it's not much better than the Google Nest wi-fi it replaced.

WiFi 7 mesh system - setup was quick and easy, provided great coverage all my devices connected with our issues

Awful Product and Awful Technical Support - Do not buy this product. I’ve spent $1,000 on 4 units. The main unit goes offline for no reason and one of my satellite units goes on and offline as well. Technical support is useless. I would get AI responses to my inquiries and nothing that was suggested would work. My case was supposedly escalated to “the engineering team” but once I was connected, I would get responses from the technical support team who promised to escalate my issue to the engineering team. I’ve made about 20 inquiries before posting this review, hoping to get the units fixed. A waste of money.

Very fast - I took a chance in buying this since I heard news of the government was going to ban these Chinese routers. I got it for less than the rest of the competitors. I have gig internet with spectrum. I finally get gig speed in the most farthest room in the house.

Good performance but pricey - Setup was easy even incorporating the satellite access points. It seems stable so far and the separate guest and IOT networks are useful. Its pricey though and the probably the biggest downside is the Mickey Mouse admin phone app and even worse desktop app interface. Its unfortunate that manufacturers nowadays find it increasingly necessary to assume users are stupid and thus dumb down access and restrict full control to their shiny new hardware.

Top of the line - Blazing fast and the most important feature is reduced jitter for gaming and instant performance

Deco BE1600 - This product was offered up by the Best Buy staff as a replacement for my Google mesh system. A little pricey at the outset but well worth the purchase. Excellent mesh with WiFi 7 capabilities will have several years of life.

Only lasted a year - 2 days after owning this for a year, devices randomly stopped connecting. At first it was just a couple and then everything. Tried resetting devices and no luck. Ended up having to return it and exchange for something else.

Happy purchase! - So far, it works great and provides full Wi-Fi coverage across 3,900 square feet. The app is very user-friendly.

Mixed bag. - While there are many aspects of this system I like including the interface to be able to manage them via the app and the app interface. The system is very sensitive and I’m often losing connection between nodes. Even when it says the signal is strong.

not reliable... - unfortunately it is highly unreliable. I replaced my older Orbi Mesh unit thinking this will be faster with better reach. yes, on better reach and yes on faster. but the signal keeps dropping! I also cannot have my legacy devices connect to this router - my American Standard 950 thermostat and my Bluesound Node 2. spent 6 hours with TP Link support, they tried ... but did not work.

Unreliable connection - Setup was easy and the app is okay, but reliability has been a recurring issue. All three mesh units randomly drop connection, triggering constant camera notifications about lost signal. It’s reached the point where everyone in the house just switches to cellular data because it’s more reliable than the Wi-Fi. Support has been polite, but the proposed solution so far has been replacing a brand-new 3-unit system with refurbished units, which is a surprising way to resolve a new-product failure.

Best change over yet - Going from the google mesh system to Deco, has been the best investment yet! Yes little pricy but I wish I invested in the top model with 10 gig ports for the future, but 5 gig port work fine with cable (spectrum) as my isp! With my nest cameras I use to drop them often and apple tv (5 of them) periodically loose connection! Ive had this about two weeks and all problems solved mac books, 17 pros max (6h household) running good laptops fast, no lost connections, also better range! I’m looking forward to addiNG TPLINK outdoor booster and flood cameras so far best investment! I even set up home security+ part of deco system! So far I feel robust! Optimize network feature let the system chooose a channel that less interference (microwaves dryer’s vacuum cleaners etc)! More I play with all the features more Robust it get and better I feel paying for the cost!

Awesome. Love it! - I first bought an $1800 system by someone else. Ended up taking it back as it wouldn’t stay connected to my fiber. Bought the 16000 and love it! I own a house literally across the street and down the block a few houses and I have one of these satellites in there and it runs 6,5,24Ghz. Let’s me runs lights, ring, and an AppleTV for when family stays in it. THAT is how powerful they are. Easy to setup. It says it has things in the App mine doesn’t have is the only thing. No big deal. Can tell things which one I want to go to.

Super Fast - if you don’t mind breaking the bank - Easy to setup, however it is always a bit of a challenge getting all of your devises reconnected depending on how many you have! Super fast and upgraded from an old nighthawk 6SE mesh. Incredible performance! Quad band a must!!!

Night and Day Improvement - This made a night and day difference in our home. We have two levels and 3,200sqft... five people constantly on simultaneously either gaming or streaming.

Deco Mesh Router - Nice features and App. Easy to use and access for novices
