I almost bit on this deal, but dug into the specs first. The "BE10000" in the title refers to the total theoretical Wi-Fi bandwidth across all bands (6GHz + 5GHz + 2.4GHz), which is a best-case, lab-only number.
The physical ports? Four 2.5Gbps ports per unit – ZERO 10G ports. That "future-ready 10G WAN/LAN port" mentioned in the description appears to be a copy-paste error from the higher-end Deco BE85 model.
So your wired backhaul, internet connection, and any NAS/PC wired speeds are hard-capped at 2.5Gbps. You're paying for a "10G" label but getting 2.5G hardware.
If you have >2.5Gbps internet or want to future-proof for 10G wired devices, this isn't it. For true 10G wired ports, you need the Deco BE85 (costs way more) or another brand entirely.
This feels like classic spec-sheet inflation – technically "true" if you add up wireless numbers, but practically misleading for anyone expecting 10G wired performance. That's a pass for me.
Here's the real kicker: I have switches with 10G ports for uplinks. Even though my PC and other devices only have 2.5G ports, here's why 10G matters:
Let's say I have 8 devices all with 2.5G ports connected to a switch. If that switch only has a 2.5G uplink back to my main network/NAS, those 8 devices are sharing a single 2.5G pipe – so if 4 of them are transferring files at once, they're all fighting for bandwidth and slowing each other down.
But with a 10G uplink, those same 8 devices are sharing a 10G pipe instead. So when multiple devices are active simultaneously, they have 4x the total bandwidth to divide up. My NAS also connects via 10G, so it can serve multiple clients at full speed without becoming the bottleneck.
So yeah, 2.5G is fine for a single device, but for a multi-device home network with a NAS, those 10G uplinks make a huge difference in real-world performance during concurrent transfers. This Deco would choke my internal network speeds once more than one device is active.
That's why I'm holding out for a system with actual 10G ports – not because my internet needs it, but because my internal network does.

My plex rips are from UHD so they hit above 100Mbps a few time and i had to buy USB network adaptors for my TVs, and stuttering went away.
My local network sees a lot of traffic between my plex server being used, synology nas reading mostly but writing whenever I transfer stuff, and i use that nas across my 3-4 computers
Just wondering if having a 2.5G switch would allow more bandwidth and prevent stuttering for my plex streams when im transferring things, downloading etc. I have a fiber 1Gbps for my ISP
Upgraded my switches to 2.5gbps and everything works great. My iPhone gets 1.4gbps up/down pretty consistently now. I know there's no real reason or need for these speeds for residential use, but there's also no reason not to!
