BE11000 vs BE65 Pro
This is primarily just for my own curiousity but why do they have different firmware posted? It looks like the BE11000 is just three BE65 Pro's being sold as a bundle.

Well, check this Subject, https://community.tp-link.com/us/home/forum/topic/794554?replyId=1527762https://community.tp-link.com/us/home/forum/topic/794554?replyId=1527762 and I'm confused as well as I have the BE65(US) V2.0.
Prior drops of Pre-release f/w listed BE65, not BE11000.
As the link I posted shows 'standard', not PRO versions are for sale at CostCo even in the US.
TP-Link appears to have some awareness issues on this. I posted the cover of the box that calls it both BE11000 and BE65, but the barcode label clearly states the model is a BE65 US V2.0 that I have.

As long as we're talking about model numbers specifically here (e.g., "Deco BE1100", "Deco BE65 Pro"), they are different models, despite both being BE11000 Class systems.
Another example of this would be our Archer AX55 and Archer AX3000. Both are AX3000 Class Wi-Fi 6 Routers; however, their model numbers and some other features differ (the chassis design, for example)
Back to the Deco BE11000 and Deco BE65 Pro — One key difference between the two is in their Ethernet ports.
The Deco BE11000 has 4× 2.5 Gbps ports per node, while the Deco BE65 Pro has 2× 5 Gbps + 1× 2.5 Gbps ports per node. The "Pro" moniker often indicates enhanced Ethernet throughput capabilities and other differences in some cases. You can view the specs of both models side-by-side here.
If you need more than 2.5 Gbps connectivity over Ethernet, then the BE65 Pro would be recommended.
Were you looking at these for a mesh solution in your home? If so, how much coverage do you think you'll need, and how many devices do you plan on connecting to the network?

@Ryan I already have the BE11000 for about two months. Thrilled with it. 20 minute setup and then, well, it just works! Coming from an Asus where things were constantly dropping, rebooting every few days & adjusting settings, the BE11000 is about as "plug & play" while still giving access to needed settings as it gets.
Thanks for the answer.
