Deco BE77 Delivers Blazing Wi‑Fi 7 Mesh Power, but Its Giant Footprint Stands Out
TP‑Link's Deco BE77 is a fast, stable Wi‑Fi 7 mesh system with a rich port lineup (10Gbps, 2.5Gbps, and an SFP+ slot) and strong real‑world performance that in tests can edge out the Eero Pro 7 on throughput; setup is easy but the two bulky units and occasional initial device reconnect issues can be a pain. It doubles as a basic smart‑home hub, and TP‑Link offers tiered HomeShield subscriptions (Security+, Advanced Parental Controls) that are cheaper than Eero Plus, though parental controls aren’t included in the higher security package. Overall, it’s excellent for speed and reliability if you don’t mind the hardware size and optional ongoing costs.
