Model: Deco BE95  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.0.15

All of the Tri-Band products TP-Link makes seem to be Wifi 7 certified, but the higher end BE95 still isn't listed. Also they seem to have newer firmware updates for a few weeks now that we seem to be missing the BE95, which is odd since they are all built on the same common platform sdk. What is going on? This is supposed to be the flagship product, and it seems to be lagging in support.

@AngerMCS First of all, "All of the Tri-Band products TP-Link makes seem to be Wifi 7 certified" is incorrect, since there are Wi-Fi 5 or Wi-Fi 6 routers with tri-band.

 

Second, TP-Link doesn't do "weekly" updates. The last update of BE95 was February, which was not long ago.

 

Third, where is the BE95 "not listed" as a Wi-Fi 7 product?

  @ImtiazAli all of the tri band WiFi 7 products have gotten official certification from the WiFi alliance and they all have gotten updates in April fixing a wide variety of issues and the BE95 has not gotten that update. All previous updates were shared and released at the same time.

@AngerMCS BE95 will probably get certified in the coming weeks

  @AngerMCS 

Does anyone know if the BE95 has received certification?  I don't even see the BE95 for sale anymore.

  @Mango3000 No it hasn't. You can check here: https://www.wi-fi.org/product-finder-results?sort_by=certified&sort_order=desc&categories=4 and see that BE85, BE65, BE65Pro, etc all got certified, but not the BE95. The BE95 is also seemingly removed from the Deco website. You can still find it if you google, but they seem to be abandoning the top end. Hopefully they don't stop updates, otherwise I have a $1500 paper weight and have to redo my network again. Definitely dissapointing.

  @AngerMCS That's not good at all!  They were selling these on clearance on Amazon for a few weeks. They made no indication that they are abandoning the product line.  I worked with tech support on stabilizing the 2.4ghz network which seems to only run at 40mhz. Very disappointing if they stopped making it and won't certify it.

  @Mango3000 the BE95 are still available on TP-Link's website, at least in the US, and are not being sold at clearance on Amazon; the 2-pack has a 42% discount for Amazon day. 
 

For some reason, TP-Link has pulled the most recent firmware updates for almost all Decos and Archers, WiFi 6 and 7, with no explanation, but no they're not discontinued.
