TP-Link - Archer BE550 Pro

Maybe, but I got the router I bought sorted, so I'm happy with it all. So, answering the question, the TP-Link Archer BE550 Pro is very good!

Oops! I looked on Amazon again and it appears that TP-Link has 2 different varieties of Model BE9700 routers. The one that you are probably looking at has visible antennas? The one that I was referencing has internal antennas. Either one would be good. The only difference that I could tell between the BE9300 and BE9700 is the speed of the wired ports. The BE9700 has screaming fast wired ports which would probably be overkill for most people. The prices: * BE9300 internal antennas - $229.99 * BE9700 internal antennas - $269.99 * BE9700 visible antennas - $219.99 I wish that I could post pics. EDIT: WiFi 7 is usually 4 times faster than WiFi 6. Inside your house, sending data from the phone to router or router to phone it can be as much as 10 times faster. That's why you want to have WiFi 7.

I would choose BT10. I just bought a BE92u yesterday noon and returned few hours later due to terrible 6G range. I was only able to get 100m-150m download speed from 1 floor above it (3-5M away). I also bought a BE800 and BE550 Pro to try out. Suprising BE550 Pro is pretty good overall for both mobile and desktop which makes me think both BE800 and BE550 Pro are very comparable. However, i still decided to return both becasue i didnt get any improvement compared to my old Asus Zen XD5 wifi 6 routers. At the end, I got the Asus BE98 Pro. I am able to max out the max out the ISP speed of 1.5Gbs from 1 floor above the router. Connection from mobiles is also fast and reliable. So i beieve a triband mesh should be as good.

I ordered one last week and it has been a nightmare to say the least. Frequent connection drops, network slowdown for no necessary reason and more. I am getting a replacement unit today to see if it was a problem with the unit. It does fairly worse than the isp provided router at this point. If the replacement is the same i will return and get something more reliable like a netgear or asus. But for now, thanks tplink for destroying my weekend, rant over.

Did the 2nd one work? I just got one over the weekend and connects and reconnects so frequently it's approaching useless. I can hardly even modify the settings!

If you're willing to spend $250 you should probably be looking at a wifi7 router like the TPlink be9700. Tri-band wifi7 router. Once you get devices that support it, MLO network is where it's at. My phone is connected to sometimes all 3 bands at once. Might as well futureproof if you've got $250 to burn.

I would look at the TP Link BE9700. Tri-band Wifi 7 router, it has a 10 Gbps wan and 4x 2.5 Gbps ports, so you are future proof. I bought the cheaper version a few months ago and sort of wish I spent more for this one. It’s on sale in Prime for $180. I spent $130 on the TP Link that does 1 Gbps max but back then the better one was about $199. So far I have been happy with the Tether app that runs it and my wifi speed has been great. Edit. The one I just bought is $106 or about $25 cheaper now. I really should stop looking at prices it just drives you crazy.

Correction I use the TP-Link Archer BE550 Wireless Tri-Band Wi-Fi 7 Router

I have a similar setup and needs and have TP link and it is solid. I have the BE550 as the main router and two easy mesh nodes (hardwired) and my network is solid, no issues with any devices

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

You'd might only want a dedicated band, which can be a dedicated router/access point. And make sure you can set a seperate configuration for that band. Also an option if your pc has build in 5ghz wifi that is not used to connect to the network is to use mobile hotspot in windows and use that for your vr headset to connect to giving you a direct connection between the devices. There are tri-band or even quad-band router. Tri-band generally would be 1x2.4ghz, 1x5ghz, 1x6ghz. I believe there might be older 'router/access point's out there being tri-band without 6ghz and instead having a extra 5ghz band. A quad-band generally has 1 extra 5ghz band. You'd generally have to dive into the manufacturer's product page to figure out which bands are on a 'router/access point'. Personally have a tp-link be550 which has WiFi 7 and is a tri-band router. I configured it so 2.4ghz and 5ghz is my general home wifi and the 6ghz is for my quest 3.
