The price of $99 (1-Pack), $169.99 (2-Pack), and $208.89 (3-Pack)\u2002makes it a cost-effective dual-band Wi-Fi 7 distributed system. With two 2.5Gbps Ethernet ports on each node, it offers good Gig+ performance for the average user, but it\u2002doesn\u2019t have the 6GHz band or 320MHz channel bandwidth that\u2019s available on more expensive models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"393\"

Departing from Deco&#8217;s traditional tall cylindrical design, it adopts a white disc shape measuring 150 \u00d7 150 \u00d7 62 mm. These units are smaller, allowing them to be less visually distracting in the home and to better blend in with living rooms, bedrooms, or office\u2002spaces. Each unit has four internal antennas and is equipped with a 1.1GHz quad-core CPU, 128MB flash\u2002storage, and 512MB RAM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/TP-Link-Deco-BE25_3-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"TP-Link Deco BE25 Design\" class=\"wp-image-2739\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/TP-Link-Deco-BE25_3-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/TP-Link-Deco-BE25_3-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/TP-Link-Deco-BE25_3-766x431.jpg 766w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/TP-Link-Deco-BE25_3-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/TP-Link-Deco-BE25_3-2048x1152.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/TP-Link-Deco-BE25_3-267x150.jpg 267w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/TP-Link-Deco-BE25_3-100x56.jpg 100w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/TP-Link-Deco-BE25_3-622x350.jpg 622w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/TP-Link-Deco-BE25_3-788x443.jpg 788w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/TP-Link-Deco-BE25_3.jpg 1300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The Deco BE25\u2019s rear panel has two 2.5 GbE\u2002ports. One port on the router serves as the WAN interface, while the other functions as the LAN port. Both satellite routers utilise their two 2.5 Gbps ports for connecting wired network devices or establishing a wired network backhaul.The rear also includes a power jack and a\u2002rectangular WPS button for quick pairing with compatible wireless gadgets. Like the Deco BE23, this unit\u2002has no USB ports. A small LED indicator near the front bottom flashes blue when the system is ready, solid blue during the setup process, blinks green when the system is updating the firmware, and glows green when all connections are made and working properly. A blinking red LED means the node has lost connection to the system, while\u2002a solid red LED means there is a system error.<\/p>\n\n\n<style

I wouldn\u2019t\u2002advocate doing these things in a web browser, but the Deco App is simple and makes setup effortless. The application first asks you to scan the QR code on the bottom of\u2002the router, which specifies the model. You then connect your phone to the router over WiFi (the Deco BE5000 shows up as an open\u2002network). Once connected, the setup process configures your internet connection, prompts you to enter a new SSID\/password, and completes the network initialisation. After the router\u2002setup is done, the installer will ask you to turn on the two satellites to complete the network formation. In our test setup, after a few minutes of synchronisation, both satellites formed the mesh network and became visible within the Deco application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It should be noted that TP-Link has made every effort to render the configuration process as straightforward as possible for novices, hence only providing application-based settings. This also applies to certain available network configurations. For instance, I could not locate a method to disable Smart Connect; consequently, the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz channels are merged under a single SSID. To conduct separate wireless band testing, I instead isolated the bands on the wireless client card within the network adapter properties of Windows 11. You may also connect satellites to the router via a wired backhaul using the 2.5 Gbps LAN port. TP-Link even permits leveraging the Wi-Fi 7 standard&#8217;s MLO capability, combining the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands with the wired backhaul to enhance overall backhaul performance.<\/p>\n\n\n<style scoped>.rh-review-heading{flex-wrap:wrap}.rh-review-heading__position span{line-height:.78}.rh-review-heading__position span:after{content:\".\"}.rh-review-heading__logo{margin-top:10px;width:100%}.rh-review-heading__logo img{width:auto;max-height:60px}.rh-review-heading__logo-container{max-height:60px;max-width:150px}\n@media only screen and (min-width:480px){.rh-review-heading{flex-wrap:nowrap}.rh-review-heading__logo{margin-top:0;width:auto}}\n.rtl .rh-review-heading .rh-review-heading__position{margin-right:0!important;margin-left:15px}<\/style><div class=\"rh-review-heading rh-flex-center-align mb25\">\t<div class=\"rh-review-heading__position mr15 font150\">\t\t<span class=\"fontbold lightgreycolor font250\">8<\/span>\t<\/div>\t<div id=\"deco-be25-firmware\">\t\t<h2 class=\"mt0 mb0\">TP-Link Deco BE25 Firmware<\/h2>\t\t<div class=\"mt5 lineheight20 greycolor\">Deco BE25 Firmware<\/div>\t<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<p>You can manage the Deco BE25 using the Deco mobile application. The app opens the \u201cNetwork\u201d screen, featuring a button to test your internet upload and download speeds via Speedtest.net, and another button leading to a screen for configuring Wi-Fi settings. Below these buttons is a gauge displaying your current upload and download speeds, followed by a network map showing the router and nodes. Tapping any node reveals the clients currently connected to it. Tapping a client device displays its MAC address and IP address, along with whether it&#8217;s assigned to a family member. Here, you can assign bandwidth priority or block it from communicating with other devices on the network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"620\" src=\"https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/deco-be25-fireware-1024x620.jpg\" alt=\"TP-Link Deco BE25 Firmware\" class=\"wp-image-2742\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/deco-be25-fireware-1024x620.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/deco-be25-fireware-300x182.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/deco-be25-fireware-767x464.jpg 767w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/deco-be25-fireware-1536x929.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/deco-be25-fireware-2048x1239.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/deco-be25-fireware-248x150.jpg 248w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/deco-be25-fireware-100x61.jpg 100w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/deco-be25-fireware-578x350.jpg 578w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/deco-be25-fireware-788x476.jpg 788w, https:\/\/tplinkwifirouter.com\/lewisreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/deco-be25-fireware.jpg 914w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Buttons named \u2018Network\u2019, \u201cSecurity\u201d, \u2018Parental Controls\u2019, and \u2018More\u2019 can be found\u2002at the bottom of the Deco App screen.
