I want to purchase BE25 Deco's to upgrade my current X55 Deco 2-pack. I would like to make sure I buy the latest hardware version. Is it possible to determine before buying? I can't find it on Amazon or TP Link websites.
Thanks
New owner testing out a Deco BE63 setup...coming from two Asus routers in mesh. A couple of questions -
- In the app I see a means to break out the 6Hz band as a separate SSID. There is no way to break up the 2.4GHz and 5 GHz bands, correct?
- For FTP server, is there a means to enable TLS encryption when using the web option?
- For SMB, I can add my attached USB drive via a mapped network drive. It doesn't show up under "Network" in Windows 11 though, am I missing something...or is this normal? Also, it sticks a "g" in front of the network share name I assigned. Is there a way to remove this...not a big deal...in the Asus routers, this g was replaced with the actual drive volume name.
- I enabled MLO, not for my devices, but because I read that would improve connection between the nodes as well...i.e. connection via 5 and 6GHz. Anything else I should change to maximize bandwidth between them?
- I see an option for USB interference (w/ 2.4GHz). I haven't played around with it yet...currently I have it turned off. Is there noticeable performance between on/off and file transfer speeds? Admittedly, one of many reasons I switched from the Asus was that their USB port was terrible. I could only transfer at 15 MB/s across the network...SMB and FTP. I did one test with the Deco and got 100 MB/s. What is the normal transfer speed drop I should expect if it is recommended to enable the option.
Thanks, and I'm definitely open to any other recommendations to maximize performance out of this system.
