2026 verdict
The cheaper node wins both scored rows: the eero 7 beats the TP-Link Deco BE63 on price and backs it with a 3-year warranty against 2. The eero 7 is dual-band Wi-Fi 7 rated BE5000, with Multi-Link Operation, two 2.5 GbE ports and a built-in Thread border router, Matter controller and Zigbee hub, for up to 120 devices. The TP-Link Deco BE63 is the tri-band alternative, Wi-Fi 7 rated BE10000 with a 6 GHz radio, four 2.5 Gbps auto-sensing ports, a USB 3.0 port for network storage and support for 200 devices, but it is neither a Thread border router nor a Matter controller. Buy the eero 7 for the lower price, the longer warranty and the smart home hub; buy the TP-Link Deco BE63 if you need the 6 GHz band, four multi-gig ports and USB storage.
