The TP-Link Deco X55 wins on price and owner rating, while the two tie on warranty and on maximum connected devices. The Deco BE25 is the newer Wi-Fi 7 system for buyers who want that generation.
Wi-Fi generation and ports. The X55 is Wi-Fi 6 with three Gigabit ports per unit, while the newer BE25 is Wi-Fi 7 with MLO and two faster 2.5G ports per unit.
No. Both the Deco X55 and the Deco BE25 are dual-band, using only the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands.
Neither has an edge here: both the Deco X55 and the Deco BE25 are rated for up to 150 connected devices per unit.
Buyers who want the lower-priced, higher-rated option and do not need Wi-Fi 7 or 2.5G wired ports.
Buyers who want a newer Wi-Fi 7 mesh system with MLO and 2.5G ports for a multi-gig internet plan, and are comfortable paying more and accepting a slightly lower owner rating for it.
