At $299.99 (down from $549.99), the TP-Link Deco BE63 mesh wifi system is at its lowest price yet (according to price trackers)—and if you’ve been waiting to upgrade your home network, this is a good time to jump in.
The BE63 is a two-piece 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. PCMag not only gave it an “Excellent” review but also named it their Editors’ Choice and best mesh wifi system of 2024 . That’s a lot of praise for something now selling for $300.
Getting started is easy with the Deco app: It walks you through the setup step by step, and once it’s live, you can manage everything from your phone. The app lets you check speeds, monitor devices, and create user profiles. There are built-in parental controls that let you block websites, apply age-based filters, or cut internet access at bedtime. These basic tools are free. But if you want deeper control (like enabling SafeSearch, restricting YouTube content, setting daily time limits, or tracking usage history), you’ll need to subscribe to HomeShield ‘s Advanced Parental Controls plan ($2.99/month or $17.99/year).
For added network protection—things like web threat filtering, intrusion prevention, and device-level safeguards—you can upgrade to the Security+ plan, which costs $4.99/month or $35.99/year. There’s also a more comprehensive Total Security package that includes antivirus , VPN services, and a password manager . It’s priced at $69.99 for the first year, then renews at $129.99 annually. If you’ve got a busy household or want full visibility into your network, one of these paid plans might be worth it.
Performance-wise, 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 unit. Those are more wired options than most mesh systems offer. Speeds are strong, even with multiple devices streaming, downloading, or gaming at once. You don’t get 10GbE ports as you do on pricier models, but for most people, this setup covers everything they need.
