What are the differences between the BE85 V1 and V2? How about the BE95?
What is the difference between the BE85 V1 and V2?
I know the BE95 adds a Wifi 6 radio - is that the only difference with that model?
I have a BE85 V1 and I've got a BE95 on order from Amazon at their sale price, but I was wondering what I was really buying, besides a boost in wireless backhaul speed.
I can't currently saturate what I get with the BE85 - up to around 2300 mbps on a LAN port off my office satellite - but I'm wondering if the speed between two Synologys hooked to LAN ports on my router node and office nodes via 10 gb ethernet will improve.
Anyone know if there's a way to migrate the BE85 configuration to the BE95s?

Hey hello ! Following you can find a good comparison between deco BE85 and BE95. https://www.tp-link.com/en/compare/?typeId=5700&productIds=73792,110298
Personally Im using BE95 with 3 nodes wired at 10GB using following switch: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09M7KSZB2?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1
Connection goes as follow: Own Modem ---> Main Node ---> Switch <--- 2 BE95 Nodes using 10GB wired. I haven't had any performance issues. I don't have any NAS but according to TPLink they recommend to connect the NAS directly to your BE95 Unit using a 10GB port if it's supported by your NAS.
Hopefully this helps you. Let me know if any other question/help is needed regarding BE95

Yeah, it looks like the BE95 is simply the BE85 with 2 ghz radios, allowing for a higher aggregate Wifi throughput.
Looks like the BE95 is the one which competes with the Orbi 970 from Netgear, except that the Orbi router/2 satellite pack is $1,999.99 from Amazon and the BE95 three pack is $1,099.99. The 970 router has two 10 gb ports and four 2.5 gb, and the satellites have 10 gb and 2 2.5 gb - whereas the BE95s all have two 10 gb and two 2.5 gb. No wonder Netgear is lobbying congress to get TP-Link barred from our shores.

Yeah, my house isn't wired for ethernet which means I need to use Wifi backhaul.
Coincidentally, I do use one of those Trendnet 10 gb swtiches in my office off a 10 gb satellite port - it host my local 10 gb office network which includes the satellite, a 10 gb Synology NAS, a CalDigit TS5 hooked to a M1 Max MacBook Pro, and a M4 Max Apple Mac Studio.

My Synology NAS units are connected to 10 gb ports, one on the router and the other on a satellite.
Unfortunately, one of the NAS units is powered by an Intel ATOM processor so using rsync it appears to top out at around 54.05 MB/sec.

The BE95 will help a lot thanks to the extra 6GHz-2 band, which can also be used for backhaul—especially since you’re not using wired backhaul. I used to run it that way and it worked really well until I decided to run Ethernet. It can leverage 2.4GHz, 5GHz, 6GHz-1, and 6GHz-2 for backhaul, and with the specs on each band, the mesh stays stable between nodes and maintains consistent speeds. I have 2.5Gb internet, and even without wired backhaul I was able to hit around 2.2–2.3Gbps on a speed test from my phone.
