    Multi-Gig 25 Gbps Network - 4× 25 Gbps ports ensure max flexibility and boosted throughput

    Should be 2.5Gbps?

  • hmm, I literally just bought a set of Deco X95, should I return them and go with these ?

    • -5

      You should. Wifi 7 is game changing, huge difference from wifi6

      • +9

        That's a bit hyperbolic.

        WiFi 7 is definitely better than WiFi 6 and 6E in a variety of ways, but the average consumer is unlikely to notice the difference - assuming they even have devices that can actually take advantage of it.

        • +1

          I noticed huge differences its not about devices have wifi 7 or not. It's how fast the mesh nodes work together, with my wifi 6 devices i get 900 mbps in every corner of the house.

          • @ghostkkz: So even wifi 6 devices benefit when using wifi 7 network ?

            • @Omarko: Yep spot on the mesh talks to each other much faster. With my wifi 5 and 6 devices they are performing much faster because of that.

      • -5

        Man, it ain't matter if you are paying for 50/20 nbn plan lol. Even with 1000/50 you will never noticed the difference.

        • +7

          you will never noticed the difference

          that statement is purely around internet connection in a theory of a single device utilising the Wi-Fi connection.

          What if you have multiple devices? Run a home NAS and transfer files locally between devices?
          Need minimal latency between wireless VR headsets?

        I'm considering the x68 3 pack and am finding it difficult to justify the doubled cost for this model… My M5's are only now starting to show their age after many years of service.

        • +1

          I personally use the X68's i had to get a replacement due to internet cutting out in micro increments which happened within a year of purchase. Other than that, my new replacement model is perfect and has zero issues. I recently got them backhauled and without fail I'm getting 950mbps and 50 up. I plan on replacing these once the new NBN 2000mbps plans come out, so if you do want to get beyond 1gbps, don't get these.

        This is 2x2 setup so it isn't the best setup for mesh and this bit:

        * The 240MHz bandwidth may be unavailable in the 5G band in Australia due to regulatory restrictions.

        So, does TP-Link let you choose or they block 240MHz bandwidth on 5G band in firmware for AU units? Anyway, you are definitely paying for 6GHz feature at this price so make sure you have devices that will operate in 6GHz (i.e. you have WiFi 6E and/or WiFi 7 devices).

        • In my settings there are only 2 options for 5 GHz bandwidth, 160 and 80

        • The X95 will run into a similar problem too though, since both of it's 5ghz radios advertise 160mhz support, but there's only enough contiguous spectrum for a single 160mhz access point. (Ie. The other one would have to be 80mhz)

      • +1

        It's only nice if say you live in an apartment where there is a lot of interference AND all your devices are wifi 7 enabled. I wouldn't say it's a game changer. It's nice to have but not a must.

        • But the way I am reading it is that even wifi 6 devices benefit when using wifi 7 network ? Or am is that incorrect?

          • +1

            @Omarko: To a lessor degree, assuming that your network is highly congested with a number of wifi 6 and 7 devices, a wifi 7 mesh system will offer less network congestion. It’s like having more lanes on a road. Wifi 6 devices, however, cannot benefit from stuff like MLO or the new frequency range Wifi 7 offers.

          • +1

            @Omarko: In some circumstances they might benefit from the faster communication between nodes. But that's really only an issue if you're transferring data between your own devices at really high speed, or you have a super-fast internet connection.

            The average person is unlikely to see a noticeable benefit, and if you really need that kind of speed, you probably should be using ethernet connections instead.

            But there will always be enthusiasts who want the fastest wireless connection possible, and there are niche applications where this might be genuinely useful.

            • @klaw81: I have lot of wifi devices that will be connected, 1000/50 FTTP and also running a wired backhaul between the mesh units (this is my current X95 setup).

              So probably not really worth it jumping to BE65 although this setup is meant to be for next 5 years hopefully.

    • +1

      Only if you have a lot of devices using wifi7. Features wise, they are about the same, many features in Orbi are locked behind a paywall, FYI.

  • For gods name! Router set costing close to $1000?! What next, pencil sharpners costing $100?

    • +8

      Excuse me! This is a Mesh Wi-Fi 7 Router System (3-Pack). A $1k router is this alien https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/901836

    • +1

      Those og pencil sharpeners where you put the pencil in and use the handle to sharpen them are the goat

  • Does tp link have equivalent merlin firmware?
    Ive been using asus router (wifi 5) with merlin n would like to upgrade to wifi 7 or at least wifi 6e with 6Ghz but asus line up are physically huge and ugly looking.

    One thing I like about merlin is Diversion (ad blocking).
    Anyone has any ideas if this can be achieved with tp link router?

  • Well, if I am looking for Wi-Fi 7 mesh systems and going to wirelessly link the units together, I would look for quad band (say, 2.4GHz, 5GHz, 6GHz and a 5/6GHz backhaul). Otherwise, there won't be any band dedicated solely for the wireless backhaul. But quad band mesh systems are really expensive.

    • These ones are fine for wireless backhaul using the 6ghz as dedicated backhaul. This makes only 2.4/5 available to clients but works splendidly. 6Ghz has pretty bad range anyway.

      Im logged in right now.. can only find the single unit for $701, not the 3 pack.. do you have a link?

      • +6

        Nope, you have to send an enquiry for a quote. I bought a set about a fortnight ago.

        Here's my receipt: https://imgur.com/a/VEYPMy8

        • +2

          Cool, i'll give it a shot… not sure why you got a down vote btw, wasn't me.

    • great price

  • I purchased the 2 pack version of this. Coverage through my home is pretty good, and the mesh works well. Connection speeds are good, I will caveat that to say that if you want to flick between Youtube videos etc there is a significant delay before videos start, something I never experience with an Asus Router.

    There are 3 different version out in the wild of this product v1, v1.6 and v2. Firmware development between each is different as the underlying hardware is significantly changed.
    Don't ask me the differences beyond requiring different firmware that isn't interoperable.

    https://www.tp-link.com/au/support/download/deco-be65/

    TLDR: They work, they are not going to change your life, meh

    • +1

      How do you know if this product is v1 or v2?

    • According to spec's, differences between v1->v2 are:
      Signal Rate: 5,760Mbps (6 GHz) + 4,320Mbps (5GHz) + 574Mbps (2.4GHz) -> 5,765 Mbps (6GHz) + 4,324 Mbps (5GHz) + 688 Mbps (2.4GHz)
      Power Adapter Output: 12V 3.3A -> Power Adapter Output: 12V 2.5A

      v1.6 looks like the black sheep of the family - it has the oldest firmware.
      v2 firmware is newest and has things like Wireguard - not sure if older ones do.

    • Why would this router have a significant delay when switching between videos?

  • Is there a reason why one would spend so much money on a home network? Is it for range in McMansions without data cabling?

    • +2

      Big house with thick brick walls, no cabling in wall, old house etc

    • McMansion + nbn 2000/100, 2000/200 and 2000/500 in about 5 months.

    • My particular need is to streaming in a clown suite on a 2000 sqm land

    • If you're renting in a large home maybe? But yeah If you own, far better off paying to get some cabling done throughout the place.

    Do not buy this if you think it will take your depression away and make you happier. If you have a cheap Wifi 6 router, this won't bring you more happiness. You will not not feel the speed improvement. So if you are a sad depressed person shopping for things hoping it will bring you joy, this won't do it. You will need to seek help and medication for your depression and sadness, this router won't do that for you. Saying that, if you have too much money but no happiness and shopping is a fix for you, a lot of depressed folks tried to find happiness this week buying portable blenders so search for portable blenders, many deals came up for that product this week, that might just get you around 20 mins of joy and happiness and is a lot cheaper.

    • I agree, do not buy unless you have a lot of cash to burn in the pretext of futureproofing given iPhone 16 is likely the only device with WiFi 7 for most consumers. There seems to be plenty of complaints about iPhone 16 WiFi 7 as well.

  • Set one up the other day for a customer, 3 story house, full 250Mbs throughout home. nice.

  • Anybody have experience with Mercusys BE9300 Tri-Band Wi-Fi 7 router? I have seen them for as low as $200. Would it be better to buy 3 of these and configure EasyMesh?

  • +2

    I have this exact model. I upgraded from the tplink m9 plus. This mesh is excellent. I have 1Gb internet and speed tests show i get 966Mb in most places. Very happy with it. I got it on ebay with a voucher & it was around $790?

    • What’s your NBN provider ?

    • I've also got the m9 plus'. Only one is cabled in and the rest are meshed, what wireless backhaul speeds do you seem to be getting and what distance?

    • I was looking for this answer, I have the X55 with wifi 6 and only average 400mb/s on wifi, I was hoping I could get close to gb speeds on wifi.

  • Got HFC so does this connect to the NBN box or the router supplied by the provider (Optus), and then you set up the 2 others around the house?

    • Nbn box and yes to the second question

  • Expensive trash cans or are they coffee bean holders

  • +1

    This is unnecessary spending. Wait a couple of years and use your wifi 6 routers until these wifi7 routers hit 100, may be 150.

  • These are great but just be aware that because of the auto sensing WLAN/LAN ports you wont have LAN when there is no internet. It is possible to do a workaround but if you need LAN 100% of the time then maybe get somthing else.

    • oh really? thats a strange function , why would they do that?

      so if internet drops out LAN wont work ?

      I was going to plug my nbn FTTP modem to Deco box 1 into WAN port, then from one of the LAN ports into a 4 port switch and then have network wires from switch run into each of the Deco boxes (into WAN/LAN port) placed around the house so I have a 100% working backhaul through LAN and the devices then share internet through their wifi in each areas vs doing backhaul through wifi. This would also mean computers would be plugged into the Deco boxes through more ntwork switches in relevant areas so if above is correct and internet goes down, does it mean my LAN functionality between PCs connected this way also wont work ?

  • Is the Deco BE65 pro woth the extra money?

  • i dont have this but i got the x50, quite happy with how easy it was to set it up via the ios app. The pairing was quite seamless and when i connected the two units via LAN it seemed to detect it automatically and routed the connection through the LAN backbone instead.

  • Just found this: https://community.tp-link.com/en/home/forum/topic/716796?rep…

    2.4GHz of V1 doesn't support 802.11 be, only 802.11b/g/n/ax; but V2 is 802.11b/g/n/ax/be

    That was 5 months ago - not sure if that limitation is/was due to hardware or firmware.

  • I have these, and while coverage is excellent, there's some bug in the firmware for the DHCP

    there are one of two devices the network just hates for some reason, so i have to restart either the deco system, or the device, to get it to assign an ip

    it's weird, can't figure it out

  • TP-Link = easier to get hacked!?
