Head-to-head

TP-Link Deco BE63 vs Netgear Orbi 770 Series vs Amazon Eero Max 7

TP-Link Deco BE63

Netgear Orbi 770 Series

8.6 $629.99

Amazon Eero Max 7

8.2 $1,149.99

Verdict

TP-Link

The mesh we'd point most buyers to first: fast, generously equipped, and priced like it wants to win. HomeShield's basic tier is free, and only the deepest power-user controls are missing.

NETGEAR

The Orbi to actually buy for a big multi-floor home: strong range, real Wi-Fi 7, and a price that's merely high rather than absurd. You give up the 970's 10-gig port and dedicated backhaul.

eero

A genuinely fast wired backbone and the cleanest app in mesh, hamstrung by mediocre real-world Wi-Fi for the money and the best features locked behind a subscription. Buy it for the ecosystem, not the value.

Best for

TP-Link

Most large homes that want real Wi-Fi 7 speed, plenty of 2.5-gig ports for wired devices, and no recurring fee for the security basics.

NETGEAR

Large, multi-floor homes that want Orbi-grade coverage and real Wi-Fi 7 without paying flagship-970 money.

eero

Homes already invested in Alexa and Matter that want the simplest possible setup plus a true multi-gig wired backbone, and aren't price-sensitive.

Avoid if

TP-Link

You have internet faster than 2.5 Gbps and need a 10-gig port, or you want enterprise-grade manual network control.

NETGEAR

You have internet above 2.5 Gbps and want a 10-gig port, or you'd rather not pay for security and parental controls as a subscription.

eero

You're chasing the best Wi-Fi speed per dollar, or you resent paying a monthly fee to unlock parental controls and security.
