- Is the BE11000 worth it over a Wi-Fi 6E mesh system?
- If you have Wi-Fi 7 devices or multi-gig internet, yes. The 6 GHz band and 5 GbE ports give headroom that Wi-Fi 6E kits lack. If your devices are older, a Wi-Fi 6E mesh covers the same area for less.
- How much area does the 3-pack cover?
- TP-Link rates each unit for roughly 2,500 to 3,000 square feet, so three units suit a large multi-floor home. Real coverage depends on walls and placement, so keep units within a room or two of each other.
- Does it work with my existing TP-Link Deco units?
- It is part of TP-Link's Deco line and is managed in the Deco app. Mixing it with older Deco models works for basic roaming, but the fastest features only apply when all units are Wi-Fi 7.
- Can I use my own modem with it?
- Yes. It has no built-in xDSL modem, so connect it to your cable, fiber or DSL modem through the WAN port. Any standard modem works.
- Does it support wired backhaul?
- Yes. Each unit has three LAN ports and 5 GbE support, so you can wire the units together for a faster, more stable backhaul than wireless.
- What is in the box?
- Three mesh units, power adapters, an Ethernet cable and a quick start guide. You set it up through the Deco app.
- Where is the TP-Link BE11000 Whole Home Router System 3-Pack cheapest?
- At Best Buy, for $659.99, as of our latest check.
