Wi-Fi is no longer just for an office, kitchen or game room anymore because TP-Link’s Deco BE65-Outdoor mesh system can stand up to Mother Nature’s worst while supplying data to a patio, porch or backyard. Unlike eero’s dual-band Outdoor 7 node, the Deco BE65-Outdoor fully taps into all three Wi-Fi 7 data bands for peak performance yet has an IP65 intrusion rating and should survive just about anywhere in the United States.
