Archer BE11000 Pro

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

Is yours an Archer BE11000 Pro? Been having an issue where mine just drops most of the clients at midnight. I can watch as 30 clients become 5, tried extending DHCP keepalive, and changing to static addresses on devices I don’t want to drop thinking it was a DHCP issue (ie: gaming laptop) to no success. The best option support has given me is to do a factory reset (which has been done). It’s rather looking like a $400 paperweight.

I was just going to say that. I had a tp link be11000pro took it back got a ubiquiti setup for a portion of cost. Runs way better

The wired back haul worked better than wireless but I was having massive slowdowns with wifi devices even when I was hardwired to other extenders or routers. As of right now I'm running on my one ap. With the tp link I had to have 2 additional extenders or routers.

I know it isnt exactly what you asked but I have a similar configuration and went with the Archer + Extender option. I went with Archer BE11000 Pro (the router not deco - there is some overlap on naming) and RE405BE extender. Got both on sale from Bestbuy for 350 and it is an absolute fantastic configuration. I have wired backhaul between the two. One point of note: You may think that the extender should be set in access point mode, but it actually stays in EasyMesh mode and auto detects that the wires backhaul is optimal.

Im not trying to invalidate the specialized models you recommended. In my experience the 6G TP Link routers have all been ass above the BE6500 which has WiFi 7 MLO and operates on the 2.4G and 5G exclusively. Everything in between the BE19000 and the BE6500 required a compromise to the bandwidth depending on the specific model that was purchased. For example the BE11000 has a 6G band available and is able to take advantage of 320Mhz of spectrum. However ideal performance is not always possible and thus THE chum bucket the chum bucket exists
