Does anyone know where I can buy a BE65 Mesh system in UK which is definitely a v2 ?

a week ago

Model: Deco BE65

Hardware Version: V2

Firmware Version:

Have recently taken delivery of a BE65 Mesh triple pack which I bought from John Lewis. Luckily haven't unwrapped from plastic wrap yet as will be returning. I found out only after purchase that this particular model comes in two versions v1 & v2 with the V1 lacking features of the v2 and being 'inferior' in hardware and functionality. I would go as far as saying it was marketed under 'false pretences' as being WIFI 7 as the v1 model doesn't have WIFI 7 on 2.4GHz as it only supports 2.4ghz 802.11b/g/n/ax whereas the v2 actually supports 802.11b/g/n/ax/be

The label on mine says v1. I refuse to shell out a significant amount of my hard earned cash for a product which for all intents and purposes has already been superceeded by a newer version of the same model. I really would like to purchase the v2 and am appealing to anyone who has managed to purchase the BE65 v2 model in UK , where did you purchase it from please ? Thank you.

Kind Regards

Hi, Thank you so much for your feedback! I believe many users may share similar questions.

Typically, the hardware version can't be predicted until you receive the product or purchase it from a local store, as the hardware version is printed on the label of the package.

Sometimes, the online product link might list some details that could help to identify the hardware version. For example, the Amazon product link here:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/TP-Link-Deco-BE65-AI-Driven-Connectivity/dp/B0D54CYQQJ?th=1

Both 1 back and 3 pack used the following spec for Deco BE65(EU)_V1:

Thank you very much and best regards.

Thank you, and appreciate the clarification and help. However I have decided to return my BE65 and hold off from purchasing for now until I can identify a system that I can buy which 'guarantees' WIFI 7 compatibility on all bands.i.e 2.4Ghz 802.11b/g/n/az/be

It would be great if this could be a TP-link product like the BE65 but as you've highlighted its 'pot luck' which version I'll get when purchasing in the UK ( by the way surely TP-Link must know which versions they ship where ?). I purchased my previous ( still working) ORBI mesh system back in 2019 so as you'll appreciate I like to get good use out of my devices ! I really want to move to TP-link having done lots of research / watched numerous YouTube videos on various comparisons of Mesh systems etc but nowhere did it mention the BE v1 versus v2 hardware / functionality differences, which for me are too significant to overlook / ignore ( and I'd be constantly thinking about, feel gutted about) .

Thanks

Regards

p.s just as an aside do you have any Mesh systems which provides WIFI 7 on ALL bands 2.4, 5,6 GHz for sale in UK which have this functionality from v1 of the product ?
