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.

TP-Link Bets on Wi‑Fi 8, Rolling Out Archer 8 Ahead of Final Standard

TP-Link confirms an October 2026 release for its first Wi‑Fi 8 router, the Archer 8, and teases a Deco 8 mesh system, Roam 8 travel router, and 2027 range extenders as the Wi‑Fi 8 standard remains unfinished. Early testing shows measurable gains over Wi‑Fi 7—up to ~33% higher throughput at longer distances, ~24% more throughput with stabilization tech, and better 5GHz/6GHz sensitivity—plus multi-AP coordination to reduce interference. But with certification still pending and many features likely missing when the standard is finalized, buyers may end up with a device that’s quickly superseded; older devices will not automatically benefit from the new tricks.
