$322 @ Officeworks in store.
$321 @ Bunnings.
$312 @ Amazon AU.
$261 @ Good Guys Commercial

Just over $160 each for Wi-Fi 7 mesh routers. With Ethernet backhaul this would be a beast.

Feel bad for going all in on Deco Wi-Fi 6 and 6e units.

Time to fomo in and get these!

Bunnings note: this is a Special Order item that can only be purchased in-store at the Special Orders desk or online.

As fixit notes:

Don't forget to get the 10% price beat guarantee that Bunnings offer bringing it down to $288.90. I have had Bunnings price beat Amazon on numerous occasions.

My note: $130.50 for wifi 7 mesh unit?!?! The future is now! Soon every American home will integrate their television, phone and computer. You'll be able to visit the Louvre on one channel, or watch female wrestling on another. You can do your shopping at home, or play Mortal Kombat with a friend from Vietnam. There's no end to the possibilities!

    Looking at the review here, they seem to be dual band:

    Despite saying its wifi 7 its only dual band with 2.4 and 5ghz. So dont expect access to the 6ghz band. Ive already bought a wifi 7 triband router and had hoped to use these to mesh network the house with the ethernet backend to attach my homeAssistant.

      That’s right, so @Bigfellaborham take note that your 6e units are better than these since they also have a 6ghz radio, these low spec wifi 7 models are only haves 2.4 and 5ghz radios

    • Bargainer99 on 11/01/2025 - 22:57

      Good catch.

      Wifi 7 is not just 6 GHz support (introduced with 6E) but also a few other things, including MLO (connect to multiple bands at once) and wider data channels. All these contribute to the max speeds and improved reliability.

    • ONEMariachi on 12/01/2025 - 10:25

      Yeah you need the big brother BE-65 for the 6ghz band. I got 2 of those instead and they've been flawless for the last 6 months I've been using them.

          Don`t listen to that bullshit China hater, it is fine with TPlink, it won't have any problems for using it. For security concern, the report also says Netgear has double of total flaws at the same time. Dlink is shit, Asus won't be more secure and worse quality because of the OEM maker. Basically TPlink is the best buy for now.

          • PainToad on 12/01/2025 - 06:25

            @leetec: How convenient you didn’t mention Ubiquiti…the US owned option.

            I’d use any of those brands, so long as OpenWRT was supported. It doesn’t matter where the hardware is manufactured. It’s what’s hidden in the firmware that’s the issue.

            • Randolph Duke on 12/01/2025 - 11:36

              @PainToad: Not really the same price points. And considering Five Eyes, are US manufactured routers expected to be any more secure from state sponsored eavesdropping?

              • PainToad on 12/01/2025 - 14:54

                @Randolph Duke:

                The US is an ally. The US is less likely to perform malicious actions towards a fellow Five Eyes member.

            • rhino86 on 12/01/2025 - 14:30

              @PainToad: Agreed get TP-link gear that supports OpenWRT.

              And if you have a TP-link devices and it is working, do not update TP-link firmware with later firmware.

      I think these will be nice https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/881548, even better if you get the pro model.

  • Shoocat on 11/01/2025 - 16:48

    I have the Deco XE75s (3 pack), and sadly they've been a disappointment despite being popular on Ozbargain.

    Different satellites randomly crash, reboot or drop devices and TP-Link support have been no help other than to offer generic tips. I've tried a range of 'fixes' with no success and can only conclude that there's something inherently buggy about their firmware or hardware. A quick Google search indicates I'm not alone in these issues.

    I've never had a mesh system that's so unstable, so won't be buying another TP Link product in future.

    • spikiii on 11/01/2025 - 18:23

      i am in the same boat - jumped on the last Deco XE75 3 pack deal and have had nothing but troubles with random satellites dropping, no internet connection and devices unable to reconnect without a full reboot. Too much effort spent trying to fix it but similarly a google search shows many reddit threads, tp link forums with similar experiences…

      I've returned mine via Amazon and currently awaiting refund.

    I'm new to Wi-Fi 7 (my latest PC build supports it), and I’m looking for a good, affordable router. I noticed this one only mentions 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz, while others, like the TP-Link BE9300, also include 6 GHz— which seems to have the largest bandwidth and fastest speeds. Is the lack of 6 GHz support why this router is priced so much lower?

    • GTR12 on 11/01/2025 - 18:21
      +6

      Yes, this is like a "fake" Wi-Fi 7.

  • Hellcat on 11/01/2025 - 18:44

    I have 3 deco M5 for my network. Can I just add 2 of these to cover high traffic area for wifi7 speeds and spread other to less demanding areas like the garages to extend my wifi coverage?

    • leetec on 11/01/2025 - 20:59
      +1

      Yes you can. But most likely you should only pair m5 with others m5, so ideally one m5 using wired back haul.

    • aldroid on 11/01/2025 - 21:09

      Yes, you can mix and match any Deco units but ideally you would make one of these your main router and put the other in your highest traffic area. Then redeligate the M5 to go to a less demanding area.

    • GTR12 on 12/01/2025 - 11:11

      Like I said above, this isn't real Wi-Fi 7, it's not even Wi-Fi 6e as it lacks the 6Ghz band. You would be essentially buying a Deco M5+ or something.

    I was quite keen on tp-link products until I watched this video on youtube by this bloke who shows all sorts of vulnerabilities and security weaknesses, how they were found, how they work etc etc.

    He's very obviously a pro, and has a channel called "low level" which I've been watching for quite a while. I've been working in IT/electronic engineering for > 35 years :-O and I don't smell any bullsh*t from this bloke…

    This is the video I'm referring to..
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCdZaSu68Kk&t=478s

    Sadly, after seeing that video, I won't be buying any more TP-link products (or D-Link).

    Hope this helps.

    • NirajSS on 13/01/2025 - 08:20

      All made in China product are same might as well avoid all of them. By the way you are watching, reading this in made in China product, China might be watch through the screen.

    • arameda on 21/01/2025 - 12:31

      Literally every single entry level network gear provider has tons of vulnerabilites and security weaknesses. I've been in IT and specifically network engineering for decades and even the most important and "secure" gear from the likes of Cisco, Juniper, Ruckus, Unifi etc all suffer from weekly if not daily major vulnerabilities.

      Just saying "China is bad" is completely ridiculous when the likes of Netgear are leaky (profanity) sieves when it comes to security holes and they sell some of the most expensive gear in the residential market. Eero has enormous privacy implications due to being owned by Amazon. Google as well. So spending $700 more to buy an Orbi might make you feel warm and toasty, but the 1000s of unfixed vulnerabilities will still exist.

      Almost all of this stuff is made in China as well, with a small portion in Taiwan.
