NETGEAR Orbi 370 Mesh Router vs TP-Link Deco BE63 Mesh Router
The Deco BE63 is the stronger mesh system on hardware: tri-band with a dedicated 6 GHz channel, 2.5G ports and a rated 9.3 Gbps, against the Orbi 370's dual-band design and gigabit Ethernet. The Orbi 370 is simpler and cheaper to expand, and its 4,000 sq ft coverage claim suits a single-unit setup in a mid-size home. Owners of both report stable mesh roaming; the Deco draws more praise for throughput on busy networks, the Orbi for easy setup. Buy the Deco if your devices and internet plan can use the extra band and speed; buy the Orbi if you want a basic, tidy dual-band mesh.
- Choose the Orbi 370 if you have a modest internet plan, mostly Wi-Fi 6 or older devices, and want a simple dual-band mesh that covers a mid-size home.
- Choose the Deco BE63 if you have multi-gig internet, many Wi-Fi 7 devices, or want wired backhaul through 2.5G ports.
