Our Verdict

TP-Link Archer BE550

TP-Link Deco BE65 Pro

The TP-Link Deco BE65 Pro and the TP-Link Archer BE550 are Wi-Fi 7 routers from the same company. The Deco BE65 Pro is part of TP-Link's Deco lineup of mesh routers, and the Archer BE550 is part of their Archer lineup of conventional standalone routers. The two perform similarly well in terms of maximum speed, but the Deco BE63 has much better range, making it more suitable for larger homes.
