TP-Link Deco BE63 (Deco 7 Pro) vs eero (Amazon) Amazon eero Pro 7
Which should you buy? Our verdict on both, pulled from our full Best Mesh Wi-Fi Systems: Wi-Fi 7 Picks So You Don't Overpay comparison.
The Deco BE63 gives you the Wi-Fi 7 performance and multi-gig wired flexibility most homes actually want, for roughly a third of what the flagship crowd charges - our best all-round pick. If you value dead-simple setup and a smart-home hub over raw specs, the eero Pro 7 is the easy runner-up. Skip the NETGEAR Orbi 970: it's the fastest thing we looked at, but the luxury price and subscription-gated features make it the wrong buy for nearly everyone.
