I had installed the BE-65 Wifi 7 mesh system in the house and whilst the signal did cover a small amount of the garden and patio the strength was very patchy - down to 7mbs and at 40 feet the signal disappeared.
I decided to install this as it was part of the deco family and had good reviews online and by video - I also wanted it to connect using wifi rather than have to run ethernet cables.....
The product build quality is excellent - opening the base was easy - 3 self housing screws so you dont lose them when you've undone them..... power into the box then the fiddly bit was ensuring the rubber grommet was secure and made the box watertight - took a few attempts but finally all in place.... I only had one place to mount it and the two plastic ties were not long enough (and white which wouldn't look good on a black downpipe) so I purchased some 16inch black ties and attached it to the pipe then to the power after tidying the cable so it ran behind the pipe.
Add to network was easy - deco app and add the device - easy.
4 minutes for install and then firmware update..... then off and running.
Wow - I walked the whole garden and at 200+ feet it was still showing 50mbs download and 20mbs upload.... at 100 feet it was 150/120.... this product is fantastic and works beautifully.
Simple to install, easy to connect, great build quality - highly recommended!
