Model: Deco BE25  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

Hi. I just subscribed to a new 600 Mbps broadband service and I am looking to replace my old Asus wifi router with a mesh router. I am looking at the TP-Link BE25 mesh router but I am wondering should I go with a single BE25 mesh Wifi-7 router or the traditional type router (also Wifi-7). 

 

My questions are:

1) Is a single BE25 mesh router be enough to cover my whole apartment - 1400 sq feet with 3 bedrooms (with doors closed)? or should I go for the traditional router of similar price range?
2) I know that there shouldn't be a problem if I am at the living room (where I am planning put my router) but I am more worried about the bedrooms in which the doors (wooden with about 1 inch gap at the bottom of the doors) are usually closed. Will I be able to access a strong enough wifi signal (with door closed) for my laptop and PC?

Previously, I had an Asus Wifi 5 router (300 MBps connection from another broadband provider) and I had problem accessing the wifi from my 3rd bedroom, the furthest room from that router (about 40 feet away) when my door is closed.

Thanks and regards

Hi, welcome to the community.

Did you have any WiFi 7-supported or 6GHz-supported clients?

If not, compared with a single Deco BE25, I think a 2- or 3-pack of Deco XE75 would be much better:

Thank you very much.

Best regards.
