Asus ZenWiFi BT6 vs TP-Link Deco BE25

Spend a little more and you get a lot more spectrum: the Asus ZenWiFi BT6 outpoints the TP-Link Deco BE25 for the overall verdict here, backed by a stronger owner rating and a full extra year of warranty coverage, even though the Deco BE25 undercuts it on price. The Deco BE25 is TP-Link's entry-level dual-band Wi-Fi 7 mesh system, with no 6 GHz band and just two 2.5G ports per unit and no USB port at all. The ZenWiFi BT6 adds a 6 GHz band, Multi-Link Operation, WireGuard VPN and a USB port with FTP, Samba and Time Machine support, none of which the Deco BE25 offers. If budget is the deciding factor, the TP-Link Deco BE25 is the cheaper way into Wi-Fi 7 mesh, but the Asus ZenWiFi BT6 is the better all-round pick for buyers who want more band coverage and storage options for a modest premium.
