A Can't Miss Prime Day TP-Link Mesh Deal According to Our Networking Expert
Amazon Prime's Big Deal Days are full of discounts ( here's our mega post with all of them), but they end at midnight tonight. What better final purchase than this TP-Link Deco 7 Wi-Fi mesh system? It will blanket your home with strong Wi-Fi 7 signals and rid you of slow internet speeds.
As the editor responsible for PCMag's networking reviews, I know a thing or two about mesh systems , and I'm here to tell you why this is such a good deal. Here is everything you need to know.
Not a Prime Member?
You can still shop and save during Big Deal Days, but if you want to score the best deals, you need to sign up for Prime . The good news is that you can grab a free 30-day trial during the sales event.
TP-Link Deco 7 Mesh Deal
The Deco 7 is a three-node system that covers up to 6,600 square feet. Now, you may be wondering why you need that much coverage—some mansions aren't even that big. The operative words here are "up to." If you're in an older house with plaster walls, or you've got multiple floors that need coverage, the signals won't travel as far, which reduces the square footage you can blanket in Wi-Fi 7 goodness.
As for Wi-Fi 7 itself, this system is a good way to future-proof your network with the latest Wi-Fi standard. It delivers up to 4,324Mbps on the 5GHz band and up to 688Mbps on the 2.4GHz band. It doesn't support the 6GHz band, but it doesn't need to: Most of your devices will be connecting at 5GHz or 2.4Ghz anyway. It's also got a 2.5GbE port, so your wired connection to your ISP won't cause any bottlenecks.
We've reviewed plenty of Deco mesh systems over the years, and while we haven't reviewed this specific model, I'm still confident in recommending it. Both the Deco 7 Pro and Deco 7 Elite received "Excellent" ratings when we tested them, and this system is nearly as capable as they are and a whole lot cheaper, especially with its 20% discount on Prime Day.
