Mesh wifi is a newer way to distribute internet across homes with thick walls, multiple stories, or larger square footage while still keeping a strong connection. Mesh networks work differently from extenders and boosters and do a much better job of keeping your signal strong. If you’ve tried solutions like mounting your router on the ceiling and are still not getting the speeds you need, a mesh network might be in order. Depending on your situation, certain mesh wifi systems will be a better fit than others, but there is one particular mesh system deal also offering Wi-Fi 7 that you should consider.
For a limited time, TP-Link’s three-pack Deco BE85 BE22000 Tri-Band Whole Home Mesh Wi-Fi 7 System is $1,299.99 (originally $1,499.99) after a $200 discount, the lowest price I’ve seen after checking price tracking tools. These three nodes can cover up to 9,600 square feet with the latest Wi-Fi 7.
Of course, not everyone needs that much coverage. The two-pack is $899.99 (originally $999.99) after a $100 discount and covers up to 6,400 square feet. A one node mesh system is $499.99 and covers 3,200 square feet. You can take advantage of the better three-pack discount if you know other people who could benefit from a mesh system; that way, each node would come out to $433.
The Deco BE85 BE22000 nodes came out in 2023 with an “excellent” review from PCMag and do more than just extend your wifi to justify their high price. The nodes are easy to install and manage with their dedicated Deco mobile app. They provide free basic parental control and basic HomeShield network security to protect you and your devices. They also offer multiple wired LAN ports on each node and a USB port, which you don’t see in most mesh systems. Other top mesh systems like the Netgear Orbi 970 series are more expensive, while others like Eero’s Max 7 don’t cover as much square footage.
