  "account": "The TP-Link Deco 7 Pro BE13000 is a Wi-Fi 7 mesh router available at Costco for $399, sold as a three-pack. This device offers coverage for up to 8,100 square feet and is designed to compete with other high-end Wi-Fi routers. The design features white cylindrical satellites and a stylized \"7\" logo on the front. The router has three LAN/WAN ports: one GbE, one 2.5 GbE, and one 5 GbE. TP-Link's Deco and Tether apps control the router entirely, providing an intuitive interface for managing the network. The setup process involves placing the satellites throughout the home and plugging them into power. The app guides users through the process, creating a single network that encompasses all three bands. Advanced settings allow for further customization, such as enabling MLO, Guest, and IoT networks. The router supports parental controls, which can be enhanced with a paid Security+ subscription. The Deco 7 Pro BE13000 offers a balance of value pricing and average performance, making it a solid option for those seeking Wi-Fi 7 capabilities at a competitive price point.",
  "summary": "The Deco 7 Pro BE13000 is attractively priced on the hardware front, but a subscription is needed to enable many features of the mesh system.",
