Open the named TP-Link Deco BE63 Wi-Fi 7 Mesh System listing to compare the live price, availability, delivery, seller, and returns.
Separate ISP, modem, main-node, backhaul, roaming, cable, and client problems before resetting the whole network.

Quick answer
The practical answer
Record whether one client, one node, Wi-Fi, local LAN, DNS, or the entire internet path fails. The LED, Deco app, modem status, and a wired test help narrow the layer.
Direct answer to the buying question
How do you troubleshoot repeated Deco mesh connection drops?
First identify whether the client, satellite, local LAN, DNS, modem, or internet path is dropping. Then update firmware, test a wired client, move the satellite closer, remove suspect loops, and change only one variable before measuring again.

Test the modem and main Deco first
Connect one known-good wired client where possible, inspect the modem or ONT, and check the ISP before moving every satellite. A mesh cannot repair an unstable upstream link.
Simplify backhaul temporarily
Remove suspect switches, wall jacks, and cables one at a time. For wireless satellites, move one node closer to the main unit and compare stability.
Change one variable and keep a log
Record firmware, topology, client model, time, and result. Avoid factory-resetting first because it removes evidence and introduces several new variables at once.
Map the modem or ONT location, office desk, TV area, and any rooms that need wired stability.
Check WAN/LAN port speeds, wired backhaul options, and whether your internet plan actually needs Wi-Fi 7.
Count fixed devices separately from phones, tablets, and smart-home gear before buying a bigger system.
Common mistakes
Buying the fastest advertised Wi-Fi number while leaving the router in a bad location.
Ignoring Ethernet paths that could make mesh nodes, TVs, consoles, or office desks more stable.
Choosing a premium router before checking client device support, subscription features, and return path.
Category checks
Coverage claims assume ideal rooms; walls, floors, and router placement change the result.
Multi-gig ports matter only when the modem, router, switch, and client path can use them.
Mesh is easier, but wired backhaul is usually the cleaner long-term upgrade.
Decision rule
Spend more when coverage, wired backhaul, multi-gig ports, or device count solves a known bottleneck; spend less when placement or one Ethernet run fixes the problem first.
