First, Did You Know that All Deco Models Work Together?


If you are looking to expand the capabilities of your network, you may upgrade your main mesh node to take advantage of some of the latest Deco features. This includes bringing the latest IoT, HomeShield, and VPN Features to your network.

 

*Please Note: Some features may require each Deco node on the network to be compatible with the feature. Please ensure that all Deco Nodes are up-to-date.  

 

How is Wi-Fi 7 More Advanced than Wi-Fi 6E?

How Your Deco Mesh Takes Advantage of Multi-Gig Connectivity and Wi-Fi 7?

With Wi-Fi 6E and Wi-Fi 7 becoming the common standards for home networks, it is worth comparing how Wi-Fi 7 directly improves on the technologies of Wi-Fi 6E.

Using the latest advancements, such as Multi-Link Operation, Deco Mesh Nodes can communicate using wireless and wired backhaul methods simultaneously. This is known as Backhaul aggregation and allows you to see much higher speeds and lower latency across your entire network.

As some of our users have already reported, this feature allows you to build multi-gigabit backhauls since the overall throughput is no longer limited by the maximum bandwidth of a wireless band or your ethernet wiring. Some have even mentioned that they no longer require the use of a wired backhaul for their network.

As Wi-Fi 7 compatible devices are released, you can expect to see this same technology for your phones and computers to increase the stability and maximum speeds seen per device, in addition to the improvements seen for your entire network.
