The TP-LINK BE5000 router is an impressive upgrade from my decade-old hardware. Setup was seamless, taking only about 10 minutes including a firmware update. The web interface and mobile app made configuration straightforward, and the firmware upgrade process was smooth with no interruptions.Performance has been outstanding — the router delivers Wi-Fi 7 speeds with strong coverage across multiple rooms. Latency is low, throughput is consistent, and I haven’t experienced a single drop or hiccup. Device handoff between bands is efficient, and the router handles multiple simultaneous connections without issue.For anyone looking to replace aging equipment with a modern, high-performance solution, the BE5000 is an excellent choice. Highly recommended.

These work fantastically! The AI chip in these routers allows load balancing and keeps my household running without flaws or interruptions. I have had no problems and am impressed with the performance and price. Once again, TP-Link has done a great job! The design is modern, and looks great in my home! Traditional routers look bulky and hard to integrate into the home design, not these! The app is an easy setup, and the configurations are easy! I have multiple segments on my network, and the IoT Network is a plus! I can even throttle the guest network so it doesn't take up bandwidth! I knocked everyone to 50 GB per second. The product is amazing, and the performance is not lacking! It might take a little study time for the novice to understand all of the terminology, and it's worth it! The security is great, and the encryption is fast and never lets me down! The price is worth it if you're looking for reliable, cool-looking modern routers with future Wi-Fi 7 capabilities! Imagine not having to upgrade for years! Do it, it's worth it!!

We have a long house (4,000 sq. feet) and because my modem was at one end we have used range extenders to reach TVs and computers at the other end. My son works in sales from home and required a faster and more stable connection than he had in his office at the far end from my modem. We decided to install a mesh WIFI system and chose TP-link's Deco S4 (3-pack). Once up and running (easy) we weren't able to achieve a faster speed than the range extenders. Although, things were slightly better in coverage and stability. After reading a lot about do's and don'ts of mesh WIFI systems we decided to return the Deco S4 and get the Deco AX3000 X55 (3-pack) system. Here are the early results:1. My son's speed more than doubled to 535 Mbps, which is almost the same speed I get being directly connected to the modem at the other end of the house. In other words the rated speed that our ISP sold us.2. The TVs haven't buffered even though we use streaming exclusively on 3 sets. Plus we have mobile phones and other assorted gadgets that use the internet.3. My wife's PC, even farther than my son's, is getting almost double the speed (145 Mbps) that it got with the S4 and triple the speed she received from the range extenders.4. Very easy setup via the mobile app.Here are some of the reasons why the newest mesh system is better from a technical perspective:1. The AX3000 is rated at double the speed of the S4 (at less than double the cost on Amazon using their coupon).2. The AX3000 has a maximum of 6500 sq. feet of coverage vs. 5500 sq. feet for the S4.3. The AX3000 is WIFI 6 vs. WIFI 5 on the S4. This means a 50% increase in "streams" providing greater functionality and speed because there are more paths to the base station router. One of the x55s (base station) sits next to our ISP's modem and the other two are set up as satellites at the other ends of the house. Satellites can be connect via ethernet cable (called a backhaul) if you have cable already installed in some rooms. This should increase the throughput. Unfortunately, we weren't able to do this.4. The AX3000 is smaller than the S4 and thus doesn't stand out as much. This is not a technical issue, however we plan to mount two of the units on the wall with wall mounts that can be purchased separately. The S4 is almost twice as tall so may tip out of the mounts easier. Plus the cord and charger is white rather than black so doesn't stand out as much.5. Other systems are faster and cover more area, but are significantly more expensive for a 3-pack. Also most use WIFI 6E, which we don't need because we're in a single family home. I understand WIFI 6E comes with those systems because it's good for people in large apartment buildings. It's not faster but does have a third band in the 6 Ghz range which WIFI 6 does not.Update: I have had trouble connecting our solar panel gateway to the new system. Our solar system installer suggested connecting to the 2.4 Ghz band because or WIFI is now mesh. I didn't know we had that capability until I read an earlier post by another happy user. I will now research how to do this.

Wow WiFi is now booming , speeds up to 500Mbs on my laptop with it's WiFi6 capability , no lag or buffering on my iPhone watching you tube , and seamless connection through out the house with three (3) modules ....Easy set up , but remember don't pull the plug on your old system until the instructions tell you to do so , and it assigns which of the two (2) frequencies 2.5/5Ghz automatically to your devices unless you set a connection preference , so you only have one (1) WiFi network with one (1) name ....This was an issue to me as I had multiple devices connected to my old network over two separate networks i.e. 2.5 & 5 GHz , so I felt it was easier to just reconnect all my stuff to the new network and using a new password .Now that meant certain older technology I have would not connect even after I found out how to make the DECO go into the WPS mode , so I had to connect those things via ethernet cable to the DECO Main unit and connect them to the network , then I could change over to WiFi by pulling the ethernet cord , choosing in the DECO APP my connection preference , putting the DECO in WPS mode , and finally press the WPS button on the device .... I know it was a bit of pain , but overall the new system is so much better than my decade old dual band router ...Easy to use but does need some help with older technology items
