Thanks for the review. Is this 10% code still active?
@Shane Craig I am very new to mesh set ups, but today while having internet installed in my new home, the tech happened to tell me that surprisingly the biggest blockages for wireless is.....who would have guessed it, aquariums, large mirrors and even large/thick glass within line of site of broadcasting unit. I only comment as I immediately saw your fish tank in the video. I'll now go back to watching your review so I can decide on a purchase of my own...Thanks!!
Is the speed tested from the phones on your old router in the video connected as WiFi 6 or 6e?
Hi Shane-
Did you plug in all of the satellites at once or 1 at a time?
What is different between be63 vs be95 ? Thx
that range is insane. does this show up as a smart home device in google home at all? i just like having a unified app for all my internet connected home stuff. i have the google nest wifi and really like that i can manage it from the google home app without having to download a separate router app.
It does, but I don't think there's a whole lot you can do with it from there.
how is the performance of a device connected via ethernet to one of the decos that is not the unit attached to the router?
Hi Shane - if you don't have a modem and will have ethernet coming directly from a fiber connection - will this system still be a good solution? Or should I get a dedicated modem (and if so, do you recommend one)?
That's how mine is set up actually. Fiber ONT directly into this.
That is nuts! And here I am thinking my 50Mbps download speed is snappy.
We were lucky enough to be in one of the early rollout areas for our local utility boards edition of fiber optic internet. $65 a month for 1,000 up and down... Hell of a deal. And now with this thing, we get that full speed pretty much everywhere 😂
Excellent video... thanks. One note: is rebooting every night a bit excessive? While I agree that this will clean up things but if you have a NAS and a video streaming server this can be problematic.
I'm sure there are circumstances where you might not want to do that, but for me all I needed to do was set a couple devices to have set addresses. This is very easy to do with the app.
What about a performance increase of your 2.4ghz devices like that camera on the far edge of your property? Does the BE10000 make a difference in coverage and/or performance?
Range has definitely improved. Result is they load and connect more reliably and faster at the edge of my property.
Only thing stopping me from getting these is not being able to seperate the 2.4ghz and 5ghz into their own networks. Just like my current Deco XE75 Pro set.
Also when running tests it's better to not be so close to the access point. Too much signal can be bad. I'd say at least 2ft away from the access point.
I ran three tests at three different distances. Given it was able to hit effectively 100% of what I get on ethernet, hard to imagine there was significant degradation of performance.
Hi this a suggestion from me for wifi 7 mesh system is better not to use 6ghz dedicated band because then mesh system will use MLO use all 3 bands to use as bachkul thus increasing range and speed even farther .
Can you explain instructions better
For the algorithm. ✊
I just set these up for myself, they replaced an Eero Max 7 and Pro 6 and they are FAR superior and better and no faults unlike you get with Eero!
Do you use the Omada software from TP-Link?
I do not
@@scaryifliteral gotcha. I was just curious, been looking at their routers and APs.
This is amazing o
What modem do you use to go with this????
Shouldn't really matter
The crazy thing is for me I purchased both the 6E and 7 mesh routers and between the 2 I cannot see a single difference between speeds and range.
Return the more expensive ones then lol
@@scaryifliteral totally lol, I was just shocked no difference
So is this a router also, or do I need to purchase a router. I will be dropping My ISP router/wifi modem. I will only have a fiber to ethernet modem.
This is only a router, not a modem
Yes those are routers
Standing next to my Deco Wifi 6 mesh router, my moto edge (2022) phone got 862 Mbps on that same speed test. Across my home, in the farthest room, that also had a mesh router hub in it, I got 212 Mbps. I have a 1 GB internet speed. I don't need Wifi 7, as none of my devices could use it.
I may have said this in the review, but even if your device doesn't directly use it, there is still benefit because the router itself will use it. Going from router to router, there is higher speed so that means a device connected to a faraway router using Wi-Fi 6 will actually see a speed boost because there is less speed loss from router to router.
What about hardwired results?
You're going to get your maximum speeds
@@scaryifliteral hell yeah, mine will be here on Sunday. Hoping the 2gb fiber can finally shine
@scaryifliteral What speed did you get with it on hard wired? Im getting mines tomorrow thru amazon and I have 2G fiber and was wondering what speed would I get
it's good but wifi 7 isn't fully ratified is it? That is supposed to be by the end of Q4 2024. So wouldn't it be better to wait for 2025?
If all you need is to deal with congestion, wifi 6e should be good enough. TPLINK has the XE75 which can be gotten for cheaper.
Unless you have an internet faster than 1gbps then all you'd get mostly is just a faster local lan via wifi and that is assuming you have your networking setup correctly for multigig to begin with, otherwise they would be capped at the standard 1gbe speeds.
if there is no urgent need to get a wifi ap right now, may as well wait.
fyi to get the most out of this, you want to do the wired backhaul mode.
Wifi 7 isn't a standard yet, not sure I'd have want to upgrade yet. Impressive results though. Might want to label the video with old router pre-upgrade to the screen for people skimming through the video
Even without Wi-Fi 7, it is considerably faster as you move further away from the central router because each individual satellite will use Wi-Fi. 7 to remain connected. Your device doesn't need Wi-Fi 7 to see a big benefit here.
its not the old days where they are going to require last minute hardware change. Only thing that is left is software finalization. You are not going to have big chip makers making chips and calling them compatible. Hardware is baked and has more then enough specs to meet whatever minimum standard they set.
Since the standard isn't complete tp-link should guarantee a firmware upgrade will keep it in compliance. Otherwise why take a chance. Everything should be set by May 2024 the latest. Likely new routers coming out of CES will be able to stay compliant with a firmware upgrade.
When it comes to network it is an issue to consider a Chinese company. The routers are required to have Wapi a Chinese government requirement. Supposedly can be turned off but is it really turned off?
This is more of software things that are left. Hardware is pretty much done, its not the old days where you have to change hardware, its software defined after certain point. These things have more then enough hardware requirements to meet anything thats final
How do you feel about Tp-Link security knowing they are owned and operated by China? I love my new BE10000, but there are some concerns I have due to how the Chinese government operates with data theft and spying. Are our routers potentially spyware? Not trying to be political, but just curious what are your thoughts?
