Main trade-off
TP-Link Deco XE75 Pro 3-Pack
A multi-gigabit WAN consumes its only multi-gigabit socket.
Head-to-head
TP-Link Deco XE75 Pro vs Deco BE67: XE75 Pro’s fast internet port leaves only gigabit downstream sockets
The short answer
Choose Deco BE67 when a multi-gigabit internet connection and a faster-than-Gigabit wired room must coexist. XE75 Pro has only one 2.5GbE port per node, so using it for internet leaves Gigabit downstream connections. Choose XE75 Pro when those wired limits fit your equipment and you mainly want a 6GHz-capable Deco mesh. Both still need a deliberate port plan.
Before you choose
The reasoning and the trade-offs
Keep fast internet and a fast office on different sockets
With a 2Gbps internet plan, XE75 Pro's only 2.5GbE socket is normally occupied by the modem or ONT. A wired office connected to either remaining port then crosses a Gigabit link.
What this is based on
XE75 Pro leaves 1GbE plus 1GbE after its 2.5GbE WAN connection. BE67 leaves 2.5GbE plus 1GbE after its 10GbE WAN connection.
Main trade-off
TP-Link Deco BE67 3-pack
There is only one 10GbE port on each node.

Winner by situation
Start with what you need it to do
Use 2Gbps internet and a 2.5GbE wired office

What matters in practice
The differences that matter
Keep fast internet and a fast office on different sockets
With a 2Gbps internet plan, XE75 Pro's only 2.5GbE socket is normally occupied by the modem or ONT. A wired office connected to either remaining port then crosses a Gigabit link.
How we reached this conclusion
XE75 Pro leaves 1GbE plus 1GbE after its 2.5GbE WAN connection. BE67 leaves 2.5GbE plus 1GbE after its 10GbE WAN connection.
Decide where the NAS needs its fast connection
If internet is only Gigabit, XE75 Pro can use a Gigabit socket for WAN and reserve 2.5GbE for one directly attached NAS or client. That may meet a modest office plan without buying BE67 for an unused WAN upgrade.
How we reached this conclusion
Auto-sensing WAN/LAN roles permit assigning internet to a supported socket. A direct NAS link does not imply every remote client can exceed Gigabit.
Three nodes do not imply three free gateway sockets
In a wired star, internet plus two satellite branches uses all three sockets on either model. Adding a gateway NAS then requires an appropriate switch or a different topology.
How we reached this conclusion
One WAN plus two wired satellite branches equals three gateway connections, matching the physical socket count.
Check your own setup
Will your wired mesh layout work?
Planning to connect your mesh nodes with Ethernet? Count the sockets before you buy. This checks direct cables from the main node to each satellite, without an extra network switch. These choices are examples until you apply yours.
TP-Link Deco XE75 Pro 3-Pack
Meets these checksThe sockets cover this 2-node wired layout, leaving 0 unused gateway LAN sockets. The selected internet-to-device path has a 1 Gb/s link ceiling before overhead, not a promised download speed.
TP-Link Deco BE67 3-pack
Meets these checksThe sockets cover this 2-node wired layout, leaving 0 unused gateway LAN sockets. The selected internet-to-device path has a 1 Gb/s link ceiling before overhead, not a promised download speed.
Port speeds are physical link ratings, not Wi-Fi throughput. Cable quality, client adapters and network configuration still matter. All requested nodes must be included in the linked bundle. This assumes router mode with one internet socket and star wiring. PoE units also need a compatible power source, which this socket check does not size. A switch, access-point mode or another layout changes the result. It does not predict wireless coverage.

What changes the fit
| What changes | TP-Link Deco XE75 Pro 3-Pack | TP-Link Deco BE67 3-pack | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ports per node | One 2.5GbE and two Gigabit | One 10GbE, one 2.5GbE and one Gigabit | There are three sockets on either, but their speeds are distributed differently. |
| After the fastest port takes internet | Two Gigabit ports remain | One 2.5GbE and one Gigabit remain | BE67 preserves a multi-gigabit downstream socket. |
| Wireless generation | Tri-band Wi-Fi 6E | Tri-band Wi-Fi 7 | Both have 6GHz. BE67 adds Wi-Fi 7 features for compatible clients. |
| Highest individual Ethernet link | 2.5Gbps | 10Gbps | The other end and cable must negotiate the same rate. |
What you give up
Every choice has a cost
If you choose TP-Link Deco XE75 Pro 3-Pack
- Remote wired clients may still cross a Gigabit link.
If you choose TP-Link Deco BE67 3-pack
- A three-branch gateway layout still needs an extra switch.
Recommendation switch
The decision flips if...
Internet and my wired office both need more than Gigabit
Choose TP-Link Deco BE67 3-pack. BE67 has separate faster-than-Gigabit sockets for those two links.
My wired rooms are Gigabit and I only need one fast local connection
Choose TP-Link Deco XE75 Pro 3-Pack. XE75 Pro's single 2.5GbE port can be reserved for that connection.
What matters in practice
How to make the call
Choose Deco BE67 when a multi-gigabit internet connection and a faster-than-Gigabit wired room must coexist.
Keep fast internet and a fast office on different sockets
With a 2Gbps internet plan, XE75 Pro's only 2.5GbE socket is normally occupied by the modem or ONT. A wired office connected to either remaining port then crosses a Gigabit link. BE67 can put internet on 10GbE and the office uplink on 2.5GbE. Choose BE67 for that two-fast-link plan. A 10GbE internet socket does not make its separate 2.5GbE office link run at 10Gbps.
Decide where the NAS needs its fast connection
If internet is only Gigabit, XE75 Pro can use a Gigabit socket for WAN and reserve 2.5GbE for one directly attached NAS or client. That may meet a modest office plan without buying BE67 for an unused WAN upgrade. BE67 is more flexible when several links need different high speeds, but neither three-port node has unlimited local connections. Sketch each endpoint and uplink before choosing where the faster socket goes.
What this comparison cannot tell you
- No throughput or latency result is inferred from port rates. Wi-Fi 7 features require compatible clients.
