Wifi 7 Is Absolutely Insane! - TP-Link Deco BE85 Mesh Review

There are a lot of comments saying this kind of speed is useless. This is not true. Yes, most people will not benefit from these crazy speeds on the majority of the devices in their home. However, there are 2 major benefits from a system like the one in the video:

1. You can maintain fast speeds from the satellite units in a whole home system. The biggest downside to whole home (mesh) wifi is that the satellite units don’t offer speeds nearly as fast as the main access point so they needed to be wired together for the best experience. Now with wifi 7 you can keep them all wireless and still get great speeds from the satellite units even on your older wifi devices.

2. The other benefit is a super fast connection to other internal network devices such as a NAS or another computer. You may not benefit from these crazy fast speeds to the internet since your internet plan is likely nowhere near this fast but you can still benefit from this on your internal network. Most people don’t have a NAS in their home but this is a big benefit for power users such as video editors, content creators, or IT Pros.

TLDR: The average person doesn’t need this kind of performance but it’s beginning to blur the lines between wired and wireless which is beneficial for power users and IT Pros.

**Throughout isn’t as important as latency when it comes to gaming so if you’re a gamer you’re still better off with a wired connection.

Not sure if you would answer but I have Verizon FiOS right now using their equipment and my house has no coaxial or ethernet. What can I do to get an Ethernet port in my office or at least increase the Wi-Fi speeds.

I was thinking about reviewing a Wi-Fi 7 extender I am on FiOS currently using their equipment. One of my videos on my tech channel did really well with testing routers

Have you tested the links 7mesh system if so, how did that to compare to the Deco

Stop it. Unifi has been spot on with no issues for myself and the majority of people. Just because you have a new setup there is no need to bash another project.

Youre from the DMV change my mind lol

I don’t like the ad

What modem do you use to connect to this?!?????

How much/what speed do your providers tell you you "should" get? Because this is insaaaaane, I am super jealous 😂

Why buy expensive and super fast car when can't speed past 30 mph? I don't get any of those😂😂😂

Who is your internet provider - that is insane upload speed!

Am I able to take advantage of any of the WiFi 7 features with WiFi 6e devices? I just purchased that tp link WiFi 7 mesh. Thanks!

Wi-Fi 7 isn’t even certified not until 2024 so don’t get that

What is the best fiber optic modem that distributes signal to these wifi7 routers? I intend to put 3 tp link deco be85 in my house, but I don't know which modem, as I need one. Another question is whether the network cables should go directly to these mesh routers or do I have to take them to another router or switch as I have many security cameras in my house and I prefer to use cables! please help me with these questions! thank you very much 👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼

It feels virtually useless to talk about a wireless standard until devices are even coming with adapters that can even take use of it

MediaTek's advanced Wi-Fi 7 chipset combined with Lumen's network expertise is a winning combination.

OMG we finally get rid of cables !!

I’m a Plume believer, but seeing this makes me eager for their version of WiFi 7 when it finally comes. Great video!

Great video. Thanks for the details. Now that Netgear has released their version, can you do something similar comparing the Deco and the Orbi wifi 7 systems?

Whose your ISP? And what plan are you on? Also nice video! New subscriber here!

Would like to c what it does in a old home with plaster walls

Thanks for the info Chris great video!👍🏽 I currently have AT&T fiber 1 Gbps but looking to have optimal connectivity throughout my house due to it being 2 story. Should I invest in this or the Deco XE200?

Impressive! SHould have grabbed the TP-Link!
I went to the top of the list and bought the Netgear Orbi Wifi7. Impressed with the speeds (10Gbps + 2.5Gbps ethernet on each sat) but limited Admin features that the Tp-Link appears to have as standard...

Are you gunna review the Orbi 980

Do a video of Deco be85 vs orbi 970. Or which would your recommend? Is orbi worth the almost $1000 cost difference?

If you ever get tired of the tp link mesh WiFi 7 system send it my way lol I would love to try it I have old plaster walls and getting internet everywhere in the house is spotty Due to it

I recently bought and returned the Deco XE-75 Pro. I wanted to like them really bad. I have around d 25-30 Kasa smart plugs and am a big fan of TP-Link. The hardware was really nice and the setup was super messy. thier app looks great and I was really exited especially considering the price compared to competitors. Well things went down hill from there. Devices frequently connected to access points much further away rather than connecting to the one next to it. No problem right? In the app you can force connection to a specific access point. Well that feature never worked. Not once. You can also set which access point each unit connects to so if you are far away from the main unit you can piggy back of another satellite rather than going back to the main unit. Cool feature, it didn’t work either. I also just had many connectivity issue I never had when I was using my old Orbi router. Like some have said Tp-Link makes great hardware. The software not so much but I see how this channel has become a TP-Link fan page. Understandable when they keep giving you that sweet free swag!

The upload struggles because it’s the transmit strength and antenna size of the device you’re using and probably not the router.

So 6E devices can connect to this on 6ghz band right?

is your house wooden or concrete with metal support?

Would this take the place of my AT&T Router or does it connect to it?

Good video. Does Pulseway use their own tools or use third party tools?

Could you tell me if the 2.5gb ports able to port trunk /link aggregate? And could a review of the LED UST Optoma be done ?

If I have only a gig for internet will these still be the fastest routers I can get for my system ?

And absolutely unnecessary

😭 "Promo SM"

This is wild. Are you on a fiber network until your wifi router? Also what level plan do you have? I’ve made a bunch of upgrades to my own system but for the most part everything is wired with CAT8 cables. I have have to use cox and I have their router modem but I’m thinking I need to get a different router modem entirely now.

As always, great video! I'm in desperate need of a Wi-Fi upgrade. I was looking at TP-Link XE75 pro, but strongly considering the Omada network. Could you share any insights or make a video about Omada? I'd love to know more about performance, installation, cost/benefit analysis from your perspective! Thank you!

smoking!

In your expert opinion, as far as gaming, would this be best or the Asus Rog?

The only phone with WiFi 7…..
Apple: hold my 🍺

Use SFP+ or Ethernet? Which one better for better connection?

I just moved and I live in a area were there aren't much
options for Internet providers I had to go with T-
Mobile home wifi it's works decent for everything but
gaming my highest signal is between weak and poor I
was looking to someway of enhancing my signal for
my gaming. Will this help my problem?

totally insane except no device can receive them LMAO

Very interesting. Thanks.

Hopefully they bring this to POE APs. My ubiquitis are getting long in the tooth.

lol sure buy a product while the protocol is not finalized yet and wont be for at least the next two years.... bunch of gullible fools... and tp-link...because who doesn't like shoddy programming with full of vulnerabilities

30Gbps... Internet providers barely offer 2.5Gbps...

Wonder when tp-link are going to release normal wifi7 APs.
