TP-Link - Archer BE11000 Pro

I am using the BE11000, it's very good and the signal is better than my previous router.

I've got 58 devices connected to my router. Just switched to a TP Link Archer BE11000, got it on sale for black friday. So far it's been handling everything like a champ.

I feel you. I’m literally dealing with the same thing. I have the Orbi rbr750. Reading reviews, it seems everyone is having some type of problem. I finally gave in today and ordered the TP BE 1100 from Costco. If I can get by a week with no problems, that would be a win.

I just swapped from TP-Link BE11000 to the Eero Max 7. Which Eero are you using? My entire network is ethernet backhauled. My trouble was compatibility outdoor Deco units and the BE11000 ethernet backhaul bugs. I had engineering tickets and night sessions with them via TeamViewer where they were reviewing the network for 4 months. I’ve probably given them 10-12 hours at least if my time. They acknowledged that the system had issues with stopping the wireless backhaul all the time and would cause jumps between wireless to wired if both were options. The most recent firmware was part of the betas that I was working with them on. Still had issues with clients being online in Deco without IPs, without MACs, or showing online and not being able to connect. Eero 7s just had a deal at Best Buy for buy 3 get 1 free for 1200. Worked flawlessly from setup and haven’t had to tweak the system at all. There’s still multiple bugs across Deco devices that I think they spread themselves too thin. Their backend architecture isn’t that strong. What’s the performance you’re seeing? iPhone 14 chips are missing 6GHz but otherwise should function pretty well on the Eero 6 and above. How do your channels look on the busyness and background noise? Ethernet are you getting full speed on the nodes?

I have the same, have you tried just splitting the bands via the deco app?

I went with TP-Link BE11000. They rock, bar a single device that hates the 2.4/5ghz hybrid network which needs to die so I can replace it. Connection, coverage, speed all great (not on 2GB yet tho)

I got it about a month ago and it's working well. The only "issue" I ran into is my older Tesla connecting. As much as I want to get rid of the car, I instead setup the guest network with slightly different settings on just the 2.4 band and that seems to work fine.

set this unit up today. first impression is that it had faster speeds than my orbi. it did drop a few devices even though I set up w same id and password. I would like to keep but it keeps dropping devices. any advise?

With the BE 11000 going on sale next week at Costco for $400, would it still be worth buying despite the firmware issues?

We do indeed have a 1 go plan. No wifi 7 devices at the moment. I am planning on getting a PS5 Pro, but I doubt I’ll actually be utilizing that band for online gaming. I’m guessing the extra 400 sq foot coverage the be11000 offers wouldn’t make much of a difference when it comes to range.

So I ended up picking it up Monday and I have to say I’m very impressed with everything so far. My fiancée offered to hardwire all the units together, so I’m guessing that will make things even better! We’ve got full coverage all over the house now with strong signal and speeds which is exactly what I was hoping for.

I was in a similar boat and I think it’s worth it if your client supports WiFi 7. You get all the benefits of 6e but better range. The biggest downside of 6e is you basically have to be in the same room as the router/AP. Going through 1 wall isn’t so bad but if it’s more than that then it’s a wash. I was due for an upgrade on my old 5ghz mesh system so I said fuck it and got the TP-Link BE11000. All my clients are still on 6e and below but I have an AP in all the major rooms. Right now I’m gaming on a steam deck oled and Nvidia shield and see very little to no latency.

I bought mine from Costco for $399 and installed it this Tuesday. I converted from a Netgear Wifi Mesh (4 nodes) system that went out of support. I have a large house and a lot of IOT. This system set up in minutes (seriously) and connected with my most remote and problematic devices (garage, boat dock switches/lights, tree cameras, etc). The interface is much better and I left all defaults in place. I dont have any Wifi7 devices but the speed in the key spots (office, Media Room, Living Room, Outdoors) is much better (I have 1gb ISP) and no drops that I have encountered. I constantly check on my Wyze, Ring, Hue, SmartLife, YoLink, & Hubspace, systems IOT connections. I use Alexa/IFFT and other shortcuts to manage all of this... Honestly with Costco's price/support, you cant go wrong trying it out. I dont know everything but I am pretty knowledgeable about IT/networks etc. I am getting great speeds using wireless backhaul (500gb+ wireless, 1gb wired) inside the house. I am on firmware 1.06 and this must be the "good" version based on other comments.

Netgear nighthawk for 6. Using tplink easy mesh for 7 and been happy so far

Tp-links newest WiFi 7 router is sick for the price.

Honestly, TP-Link seems to have the best value WiFi7 certified on the market. This ASUS router isn't even certified. I purchased mine for $170 on sale, only drawback is no 10G ports; they're all 2.5G (which isn't an issue for like 95% of consumers).

Stay far away from routers with fans, I returned a tp-link wifi 7 router over this exact issue. Sfp port was so hot it was unreal. Try to cool your place in summer with air conditioning, you don't want some fan blowing heat. Also moving parts is a bad idea for longevity. Also when I ran latency tests I was loosing O.4 to 0.8ms over fiber with the tp-link, my old router from 10 years ago never added that much latency, just to give you an idea of how bad fans are. This is not enterprise, cisco is enterprise and they use heatsinks not fans. If you want a decent router for home, Netgear rs700 uses heatsinks and has 1500 more sq ft of range than this thing, yep not 2000sq feet, but 3500sq feet, should get good reception in your backyard this summer. If you want enterprise you'll have to go cisco.
