Our Verdict

TP-Link Archer BE550

TP-Link Deco BE63

The TP-Link Deco BE63 and the TP-Link Archer BE550 are both Wi-Fi 7 routers from TP-Link. The Deco BE63 is designed to be used as part of a mesh network. The Archer BE550, on the other hand, is a standalone router. The two perform similarly well in terms of maximum speed, but the Deco BE63 has much better range performance, making it more suitable if you live in a larger home.
