- Is the Deco BE25 a real Wi-Fi 7 upgrade over Wi-Fi 6?
- It supports Wi-Fi 7 on 2.4 and 5 GHz, but without the 6 GHz band its gains are modest. Most homes will see similar everyday speeds to a good Wi-Fi 6 mesh kit.
- How much area does the two-pack cover?
- TP-Link rates a two-pack for a typical single-family home of roughly 4,000 square feet. Thick walls and outdoor use will cut that.
- Can I add more Deco units later?
- Yes. Deco units from the same generation can be added to extend coverage, and the app manages them as one network.
- Does it have Ethernet ports for wired backhaul?
- Each unit has Ethernet ports, so you can wire the units together for faster backhaul if your home is cabled.
- Will it work with my older phones and laptops?
- Yes. It is backward compatible with Wi-Fi 4 and Wi-Fi 5 devices, which connect on the 2.4 or 5 GHz band.
- Do I need a subscription for the app features?
- Basic setup, parental controls and network management are free in the Deco app. Some advanced security features may require a paid plan.
- Where is the TP-Link Dual-Band Deco BE25 2-Pack Wi-Fi 7 Mesh System cheapest?
- At Newegg, for $159.98, as of our latest check.
