This Mesh Wi-Fi System Is Now 45% Off
The TP-Link Deco BE63 Mesh Wi-Fi System is now priced at $299.99 (previously $549.99), according to price trackers, making it its lowest price to date. If you’ve been waiting to upgrade your home network, now’s the time to get it.
The BE63 is a two-part mesh system that uses Wi-Fi 7 , the latest wireless standard, to deliver faster speeds and better coverage across up to 5,800 square feet. Not only did PCMag give it an Excellent rating , but it was named an Editors’ Choice and the best mesh Wi-Fi system of 2024. That’s pretty commendable for something that currently sells for $300.
Getting started with the Deco app is easy: It walks you through setup step by step, and once it’s up and running, you can manage everything from your phone. The app lets you test speeds, monitor devices, and create user profiles. There are built-in parental controls that let you block websites, apply age filters, or turn off internet access at bedtime. These basic tools are free. But if you want more in-depth control (like enabling SafeSearch, restricting YouTube content, setting daily time limits, or tracking usage history), you’ll need to sign up for HomeShield’s Advanced Parental Controls plan ($2.99 per month or $17.99 per year).
For additional network protection—like web threat filtering, intrusion prevention, and device-level protection—you can upgrade to the Security+ plan, which costs $4.99 per month or $35.99 per year. There’s also a more comprehensive Total Security package , which includes antivirus , VPN services, and a password manager . It costs $69.99 for the first year, then renews for $129.99 per year. If you have a busy household or want full visibility into your network, one of these paid plans might be right for you.
In terms of performance, this system is built for busy homes. It has three wireless bands, including 6GHz for less congestion, plus four 2.5GbE ports and a USB 3.0 port on each device. That’s more wired options than most mesh systems offer. Speeds are fast, even when streaming, downloading, or gaming with multiple devices at once. You won’t get the 10GbE ports you’ll find on pricier models, but for most people, this setup covers all they need.
