I’ll admit I’m a big fan of TP Link products in general having many of their smart products, from routers, to smart plugs, and even security cameras. I’ve owned this brand of Wi-Fi router in the past so I felt pretty confident in spending a bit and upgrading to their Wi-Fi 7 router. Now to be fair and perfectly honest, upgrading to a Wi-Fi 7 router at this point in time is way early to the game and for the large majority of people quite frankly unnecessary. I like to stay a little bit ahead of the curve so I thought I’d bite the bullet. On any given day, I have probably 70+ devices connected to the router. And out of that many only about three can even connect to the newest 6 GHz band on this router to take advantage of the fullest speed possible. And this is why I would suggest that most people hold off on buying Wi-Fi 7 at the moment, at least until smart devices catch up and can access the 6 GHz band. Even my Apple TV 4K cannot access the newest band! Now onto this router specifically, so far, I really love it! I’m using just a single router to cover an entire 3000 square-foot house and it’s doing a fantastic job without need to buy other mesh routers and increase the spend tremendously! I honestly can’t believe how small this thing is compared to most huge routers that can provide this same level of speed! As is typical with TP Link routers, the Wi-Fi speeds are as fast as I expected! The set up was super fast and easy using their Deco app. In fact, I can manage almost everything I need to within the app. This includes changing the DNS settings to either Cloudflare or Google. With prior routers from TPLink I was having to go to a website to manage deeper settings on the router, but not so with this one, and that makes things quite a bit easier. Another thing that makes this router very useful for me is the 2.4GHz IOT Band that is specifically set up for those devices. So basically, I set up all of my smart plugs, cameras, and everything else on that band to maintain better privacy. I really like that they included this feature on these routers! I have AT&T fiber with 1000Mbps service and as you can see with the included picture, I’m actually getting a nice chunk over that! But keep in mind I was right next to the router in getting this result. As you move further from the router, the speeds will move down in tandem. Overall, I’m very happy with the router and hope it will provide many years of service!

My CR1000A Verizon router broke. I upgraded from G3100 for speed reasons but G3100 was so stable. Not a week after my friend 's CR1000A broke, mine did too. I was frustrated without Internet. Most routers are so ugly and distasteful with so many antenna looking like a UFO about to take off. All my furniture were white so I didn't have a whole lot of options. My initial choice was Google Nest but it was so basic even though it looks good. So I opted for this good rated one. It's half the size of my Verizon router. I love that white cylinderical look. The LED indicator of green saying connection to internet and red saying disconnected is just so helpful. Now, I'm happy with the purchase for my use. I have a small place so mesh is not necessary. In fact, I might return it if I needed mesh. My friend has Google Nest and it runs smoothly. Deco was causing issues because mesh was on. I read forums and found that it's a known issue so I went into all my devices and turned off mesh mode. It was trying to find the best signal for me and if I'm moving away from the router/node, it was dropping connection. I cannot say if this issue is no longer there if there's another node. For me, as only using a single node, it was necessary for me to turn off mesh mode individually in all my wifi devices. If you are having problems with this as a single node, try turning off mesh mode and 'fast roaming'. If you have hard wire switches throughout your house, make sure you power cycle them. I was scratching my head trying to troubleshoot why my wired speed were 1/3 of what it should be. Power cycling the switches fixed it. Wireless speed is amazing. There's no drop in speed. It's exactly the speed I subscribed from my ISP. Another upside to this router is that it has 2.5gbps LAN ports. My house is wired in CAT 6 and 7 so I can take advantage of this except I'll need to upgrade my switches, NAS and computer NIC, lol. For the premium price I paid, it should have been 10 gbps LAN because even the Verizon CR1000A has 10 gbps LAN. I don't get why 10 gbps LAN tp-link routers are above $500. Unbelievable. Wait a few years I guess. With Verizon, I used to have to use a desktop web browser to manage my network which I didn't know was so outdated. I can now do all of that from Deco app on my phone. It's so intuitive and didn't need a whole lot of learning or prior knowledge. I love this Deco app. I can see all my clients, separate IoT network for my wifi light switches, reserve DHCP address, block, isolate clients, etc. all on my phone. That's so convenient. I tried chat support with Deco support. I had a pleasant experience. Didn't have to wait too long. The support guy made sense and knew what he was saying. Bottom line: It looks good and it works great once the mesh mode is turned off in single-node configuration. It's $100 more expensive than what I wanted to spend on but I didn't have a lot of options for white routers that looks great, works great, and fast.

Excellent WiFi-7 router! My house is not large enough to have the need for mesh network, but using this BE63 device as a single router would give sufficient coverage for a typical small to mid size single story house. Connections on all bands (2.4GHz, 5GHz, 6GHz) are all solid and the best part is you can set them all apart with each having it's own network ID. This will give different devices in your home, such as IoTs, PC/laptops, mobile devices, their own bandwidth/lanes to avoid crashing into each other. Also, if you have WiFi 7 capable device(s), you will love its MLO feature as it tie together your 5GHz & 6GHz into one network ID in order to boost your connection range, latency speed, and overall stability, so you would experience a lot less frequent network drops and at the same time faster speed, depending on how far that device is away from the router. Overall, there's nothing but love for this TP-Link Deco 7 Pro (model BE63) and yes I've already returned my carrier's WiFi 7 router; it (really) sucks. Although WiFi 7 routers are still on the pricey side, given the current available choices (referring to the TRUE WiFi 7 routers with 320MHz & MLO feature) and after hours of homework, I personally believe this TP-Link model is the best overall bang for the buck unit. If you can wait, wait! If you cannot, get this one!

It's been really hard to buy a good router lately. We've had to choose between hideous contraptions that look like belly-up spiders, or unassuming bricks that don't mess up your home decor but mess up your internet connectivity by not being good at their main job. Is the TP-Link Deco BE63 (Wi-Fi 7) a good router? It appears so. That'll depend on the durability factor a year from now. But so far, the router was easy to set up. It is giving me the close to a gigabit of speed I'm paying for, and it covers my 1050 sq-ft apartment just fine. A couple of odd ends though: Many will find off-putting having to create an online account with TP-Link in order to set up the router. I wish it had the option of connecting to a web page and do the setup the old-school way, but it is what it is. Another odd thing is that this router does not have a dedicated WAN port. You can plug the cable from your modem or wall socket into any of the four ethernet ports and the router will take things from there. Just in case, do not plug any other wired internet device (computer, gaming console, NAS or VoIP phone adapter) into the router until you have confirmed your internet is working via Wi-Fi. All in all, not a bad user experience so far. Could it have been better? Yes, but not bad for today's standards. Hopefully this router lasts more than a year. I will update this review to see how that goes.

I had some old Deco units (XE75) and decided to buy a single BE63 just to try it. Holy cow, I didn’t realize my fiber internet was this fast. I also didn’t realize the XE75 were limiting my speeds until I bought this BE63. Set up was simple. The results are amazing. I’m likely going to test out using the old XE75s as the mesh nodes for a bit, but will likely replace those with another XE75. My speeds increased to the actual max that my ISP claimed I would have- never reached those speeds before. Very happy with this router!

This device is a half baked buggy mess. My router crashes constantly, resets itself, or devices just drop out randomly. Even devices connected with ethernet will sometimes just not connect, leaving me to unplug the ethernet cable to replug it, at least once a week (yes I've replaced all the cables with new ones). Seamless roaming just doesn't work, and my phone never connects to the right node. I can be 5 feet away from a node in direct line of sight, and my phone will still try to connect to the node across the house with 1 bar of signal. I've tried every possible Android setting to make seamless/fast roaming work, but it just wont, whereas on my friend's Netgear mesh network to roaming is quick and works wonderfully. Also, the app barely works, and even when it does the list of connected devices is almost always wrong. You have to force close the app and launch it again for the device list to refresh and show you a semi-accurate list of who is connected. The worst part? I have a v1 unit, and apparently they've already released a successor v2 model that people report is stable and great. This is made worse by the fact that this v2 unit is the first to get all the shiny new firmware features, with it just having been upgraded to firmware 1.1.0, whereas my v1 unit is still stuck on firmware 1.0.8 and missing loads of features. And, insultingly, my two much older satellite XE75 Pro nodes were just updated last week with LOADS of new features, like eco-mode and Wireguard support, but I'm locked out of all of those features because the BE63 v1 doesn't support those features yet. Now, maybe I'm just old-fashioned, but it seems super weird to me that your older devices are getting features and updates that your newer devices aren't getting. It really feels like a spit in the face for buying this new unit, and I would have been better off just sticking with XE75 Pro's only, as at least then I'd be able to use the new features! And to make it all worse, TP Link support is absolutely miserable, and they keep asking me for logs and to spend hours wiping my network and resetting it from scratch. And after sending them everything they ask for, or having to tell to to wait because they want a very specific log only when the router has just crashed, they'll just randomly close my ticket due to inactivity. I swear, I will never buy from TP Link again. They're device and firmware release strategy is an ugly, bloated, confused mess, and their support sucks.

Great router if you’re trying to get your actual 2.5gb/s internet speed. It’s really the only plug n play router I’m aware of that will not limit you to 1gb/s. I will say the WiFi strength leaves a little to be desired but I live in an old house that has concrete plaster for walls. So to be fair it does do pretty well. There’s only one room (upstairs on the opposite side of my house) that gets a shoddy signal. When I switch to 2.4ghz in that room it works good enough. I also really like the app for this router. I can see all the devices on the network, how much each device is using, and I can see if someone has tried to access the network. Which to me is a nice security feature. It also allows you to change the MAC address to match the router provided by your ISP. If you have FIDIUM this is a must, because if you call FIDIUM and ask them to change the MAC address to the one on your new router they will just completely botch this process and they won’t know how to fix it. So just copy the MAC address from their router to this one. Trust me. All in all I would definitely recommend.

This router was totally worth the upgrade. The Spectrum router I had for a couple of weeks never worked with AirPlay and HomePods in my NYC apartment. Now everything works great and I get over 1Gbps downloads over wifi, with 1-3ms of jitter. It's amazing.

راس الشاحن ليس ثلاثي !!

En verdad el Deco BE63 distribuye una velocidad igual a la contratada por tu proveedor de servicios de Internet, es un equipo increíble, la instalación muy fácil.
