TP-Link Deco 7 BE23 Dual-Band BE3600 WiFi 7 Mesh Wi-Fi System | 4-Stream 3.6 Gbps, 160 Mhz | Covers up to 4,500 Sq.Ft | 2× 2.5G Ports Wired Backhaul | VPN,MLO,AI-Roaming, HomeShield, 2-Pack

The Deco 7 BE23 system completely transformed my home network. The WiFi 7 speeds are no joke. the 4‑stream 3.6 Gbps performance is noticeably faster, especially with multiple devices streaming and gaming at the same time. Coverage is excellent; the 3‑pack easily blankets my entire home (around 6,000+ sq ft) with strong, consistent signal. The 2× 2.5G ports are perfect for wired backhaul, and setup through the Deco app was incredibly smooth. Features like AI‑Roaming, MLO, and HomeShield make this feel like a premium, future‑ready system. If you want rock‑solid WiFi with next‑gen performance, this is a fantastic choice

This mesh Wi-Fi system was simple to install, and the companion app made the setup process quick and straightforward. Once everything was connected, I noticed stronger, more consistent coverage throughout my home, with fewer dead spots than before. Speeds have been excellent for streaming, gaming, and working from home, even with multiple devices connected at the same time. The Deco units have a clean, modern design that blends in nicely with the room, and the network has remained stable since installation. Overall, this is an excellent mesh system for anyone looking to upgrade to fast, dependable whole-home Wi-Fi.

I’ve been testing the TP-Link Deco BE23 and it’s honestly a steal for a WiFi 7 setup. It isn't the fanciest system out there, but for the price, it’s hard to beat. The setup is dead simple. You just download the Deco app and it walks you through everything. I had three nodes running in about ten minutes without any headaches. Coverage is solid too. It’s rated for a huge area, and while it works great wirelessly, plugging the nodes into ethernet really unlocks the best speeds since this is a dual-band system. The IoT segregation is a huge win for me. You can set up a separate network just for your smart plugs and cameras. This keeps those cheaper devices away from your main gear and fixes those annoying connection drops older gadgets usually have. For the tech side, the VPN integration is actually useful. It supports WireGuard (NordVPN), which is fast, and you can pick exactly which devices use the VPN. I have my streaming box routed through it while the rest of the house stays on the normal connection. If you want future-proof tech without spending a grand, this is the one to get.

I needed to update my very old WIFI system. The Deco was easy to set up, and it works very well. The three units provided good coverage throughout my 2600 sq ft house, plus the garage and patio. The only issue is that a few older nodes do not work on mesh systems. I resurrected one WIFI repeater to cover my solar system and garage door controller. The repeater connects to the Deco Mesh, and the devices connect to the repeater. I also had some WIFI "smart plugs that would not work with mesh networks and those I scrapped.) (This issue is not the fault of the Deco system but rather is caused by the older devices.)

Overall, this might be the best router I've ever purchased. I have 2500Mb down and it seems like I'm getting the full speed. I have about 30 devices online throughout the day and I haven't seen any slow down so far. Almost all the functions I normally use are present. Renaming devices, address reservation, guest network with bandwidth control, detailed list of devices and other features are available to use. I can even set whether a device should use 2.4ghz or 5ghz or both or use the 1st deco or 2nd deco or auto which is pretty amazing. I have an upstairs and downstairs so I have a deco on each floor. It's works great so far. I have a room that's separated by 3 walls and the signal is ok. Unfortunately, there is something basic that is missing and it's per-device bandwidth control. The deco uses QOS (Quality of Service) which is very limited. I can only pick about 4 device to have bandwidth priority. This is ridiculously limited. I've had routers that were a quarter of the price and I was able to set a bandwidth limit for 30 devices. Hopefully, this will be added at some point (I'm not holding my breath). Almost all admin settings are only available on the app. The browser admin site doesn’t really have any router settings. If the WiFi goes out or gets wonky, this could be an issue. I don’t understand why they don’t make all the settings available via the browser. There are only 2 Ethernet ports on both routers. I like having physical connections if possible so this can be severely limiting. I had to get 2x 2.5Gb switches for each router so I could hard wire my devices. That cost me about $100 extra. I think deco is a good device. Time will tell if it's great. I recommend this if you want a decent level of control and features. Update: One year later and it’s still running great. I don’t notice any slowdowns that I feel are router related.

This upgrade made a huge difference in my speed. I had upgraded to 2 gig speed through Comcast (I hate them) and was only seeing speeds in testing that were about 600/mbs. I had already upgraded my modem and while that helped, it didn't make the biggest impact. I decided to upgrade to the new WiFi 7 router and wanted to stick with TP Link/Deco as I trust their stuff. It took a few minutes to set everything up and a few more minutes to ensure that all of my devices were still seeing the correct networks, but I am now regularly getting speeds past 1 gig (still not quite getting what I am paying for but). Last night I needed to upload a bunch of photos to a google drive and decided to take my laptop home to do this. It was shockingly fast especially compared to how long it would have taken with my work's network (we are currently using ATT 5g at work). No issues with streaming devices or anything else. Management is simple and the coverage of just 1 of these mesh routers covers my 2 bedroom apartment just fine.

Super easy to set up, huge difference in speed and connectivity. Easy to use set up menu and app, and it takes you through the security to perso lise your passwords and usernames. I haven't had any issues whatsoever in the past 3 months. Definitely a huge upgrade from a spectrum router and ALOT more coverage. Highly recommend the mesh system for whole home wifi if you're having issues with dead spots. The wireless mesh works well as long as its not too far, but if you run your Cat6/ethernet between both mesh routers and bridge them, you can put it on the other side of the house and get full signal. WORTH IT!

!!!UPDATE!!! Replaced this with an Eero 6+, Wi-Fi 6 mesh system that is rock solid. EERO IS THE WAY TO GO! Very disappointed. While setting up a 3-pod network, I found only two RG45 connections on each pod. That means after you connect to the modem, you have only one connection left for a wired backhaul. Now I also have to buy a separate switch to run a backhaul to the third pod. !!!UPDATE!!! It's been a week now, and the network is still NOT fast enough! Our Roku players buffer as they have never before; YouTube is the worst for buffering. After reading reviews and deciding on this system as a good value for the money, I am very disappointed. Sad to say this system is going back!
