Wifi 7 at a decent price. Everywhere else is about $500 each. 1 or 3 packs are also available.
Not much reviews out there, but I've found this review for BE63 is the closest to the product.

It's not as simple as wifi 20 > wifi 14…
Not as simple?
Wi-Fi 7 will be more than four times faster than Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 6E, and close to six times faster than Wi-Fi 5
@cheapo999: With the same reducting in range. You're going to need 2 mesh routers per room by Wifi 8
@cheapo999: If you took 46120 and divided by 9608, you've gone and swallowed the marketing pill.
Nobody has a 16x16 320mhz WiFi 7 client, and nobody has a 8x8 160mhz WiFi 6 client.
@cheapo999: That assumes a good signal. Wifi 5 will crush a wifi 7 client with a poor signal. And they are so cheap you can install twice as many.
AP doesn't change the rate of transmission
I like the part where they test out WiFi 7 on a Macbook Pro when no Macbook has a WiFi 7 capable chipset yet… with Speedtest.net.
Very scientific.
I initially thought these were replacement filters for the Xiaomi air purifiers lol
The higher spectrum in the wifi, the signal penetration through the walls are worst.
If you’re hooking these up via Ethernet, you’ll get the best out of it.
Exactly, all you're doing is sacrificing speed for range.
Just make sure you hook this to a 2.5gb capable router, otherwise if you hook it up to 1gb port, your wifi speed will be bottleneck. Just talking from experience.
Pardon my ignorance but is this not already a router + satellite?
Sorry, just to be clear, if you plan to extend your existing router network, then yes you will need 2.5gb router, otherwise using this Deco by itself should be ok. Also, if you plan to link to the mesh, using dedicated Cat 6e and above cable to run in 2.5gb speed backhaul also highly recommended.
For anyone who doesn't know a lot about WiFi standards… note that basically nothing supports WiFi 7, and even if you do happen to own one of the few things that does, all the other things you own won't, and running them all together is pretty much the same as not running WiFi 7 in the first place, so basically there's very little reason to waste this much money on this at this time.
You'd almost certainly be better off with a much cheaper older system - and by the time everything you own actually supports WiFi 7, WiFi 20 will be out and the old WiFi 7 mesh systems will be on clearance at Officeworks and you'll be able to buy 30 of them for the price of this one.
The s24 ultra apparently does have Wi-Fi 7
Will wait to see real world reviews thoughSure, as do most new top end laptops, iPad, etc - but unless you're planning to throw out all your existing gear and ban any friends from connecting with their old gear, you're going to end up running a majority of Wi-Fi 5 gear on your wi-fi 7 network, which is the same as just running a wi-fi 5 network. It only takes one non-compliant device and you're back to Wi-Fi 5.
Don't get your point. Why throw out older devices? Aren't these routers backwards compatible without compromising wifi 7 features?
Its future proofing though, buy it now and be good for many years or buy old tech and have to upgrade.
I disagree.
For the price you'd be better off buying existing gear and waiting. It's going to be many years before most people have only wifi 7 devices and there's always going to be "the next great thing" - Wi-Fi 8 will no doubt bring some cool features you think you want 😂
If you expect to only have Wi-Fi 7 devices and you need to connect a huge amount of them at once (that being pretty much the only real-world advantage of Wi-Fi 7) then it may make sense to get it now. For most people they'll own WiFi 5 stuff for many years and wouldn't see any advantage over Wi-Fi 6
You enjoy your slow WiFi 5 mate while I enjoy my 6E and in the near future 7.
@noise36: You enjoy your 10kbps speeds because you havent invested in enough access points and have patchy coverage.
This ☝🏻
Why do these companies neglect SQM (smart queue management)? I feel like it's so important for reducing buffer bloat.
which brands have it?
I have the Amazon Eero 6+, but the cheaper Eero 5 also has SQM. It may also be called "optimise for conferencing and gaming". Google's mesh wifi routers also have it. There are definitely more routers with this feature but that's all I know. The website buffer bloat from waveform has a list.
Probably because anybody who knows what that means isn't buying from these companies anyway
Is this still relevant with today's faster connections ?
My Ubiquiti router only applies Smart Queues for connections up to 200Mb.
What I know is that a fast connection doesn't really reduce buffer bloat, as SQM has more to do with latency rather than internet speeds. I'm not sure why your router only applies SQM above 200mbps downloads, because buffer bloat can be experienced in all types of connections below 200mbps. I'm guessing it could be a hardware limitation, as SQM is incredibly CPU intensive. That probably explains why SQM is usually only available on high-end routers.
It only applies SQM at speeds below 200Mb. If you're on a 250Mb connection for example, then it just doesn't bother - I assume because the connection is fast enough that the latency doesn't grow 🤷♂️ But it could well be CPU-limited, I have no idea.
this is a very good for at least 3 years
Two Xiaomi BE7000 at $210ish each would be better value than this.
Xiaomi doesn't have 6 Ghz
I'd rather get the Ubiquiti Unifi U7-Pro WiFi access point:
https://www.ple.com.au/Products/664500/ubiquiti-unifi-wifi-7…
Now $379 which is a good deal when everywhere else it is $499.It depends, if you are so intertwined into Ubiquiti ecosystem, this would be no brainer.
Whats the point of paying so much for this if your current equipment is unable to support it?
New tech costs more
Looks like the TP-Link BE9300 / BE550 is $349 from TGCC which would be a better option for those who like to have more control over their network configuration.
Is this still available?
Was in stock, now it's sold out
really good router! currently have the XE75 Pro 5400.. i paid $91.000 less than this if could return for refund and grab this i would. Definitely best priced wifi 7 mesh. the Deco mesh app is very easy to use.
how does one get these? I'm without a commercial account.
If all we want are fast speeds. Then arent we better off buying more standard wifi access points at much lower cost?
Isnt 4x wifi 5 > 2x wifi 7?
