TP-Link - Archer BE800

I returned the spectrum wifi7 router because there was absolutely no way to get 2 of my smart outlets to connect to it. I ended up getting the tplink archer be800 and it is amazing so far.

Just upgraded to a TP-Link WiFi 7 mesh G800 and B800 with great black friday prices. Get 940 Mbps 30 feet away upstairs. Controllable via their tether app.

Just got the GE800 and BE800 to install as a mesh system with the black friday sales. Getting 940 Mbps upstairs 30 feet away from the GE800 wired to BE800.

I'm getting \~930 Mbps with a 13 ms ping with a TP-Link GE800 meshed with a BE800 located about 30 feet away upstairs.

*Wired is always better.* Not necessarily so, comparing to 1 GbE. Next to my router I get \~1400 Mbps as compared to the ethernet limit of \~930 Mbps - almost 50% faster. Upstairs 30 feet away, where cabling is almost impossible, I get 930 Mbps with a TP-Link G800 and B800 mesh network which were on sale for Black Friday. This is the same speed I would get if it were wired.

My Tp-Link GE800-BE800 mesh system gives me 930 Mb/s 30 feet away upstairs. Wood construction.

It's a little late, but AIS has a [BYOD](https://www.ais.th/consumers/fibre/package/byod) package. This package only provides the optical media converter for the fibre line, so you can use whatever router you want. There are routers out there with SFP port that will work with XPON modules (I'm using TP-Link Archer BE800, it comes with 1 SFP+ port for WAN) I have been experimenting with the xpon sfp modules, but never got them to work (they always get stuck behind ONU status 02 - I tried cloning all the credentials/mac address /serial etc etc). I talked to their tech and apparently, they don't like end-users using these modules as they don't follow the ISP spec and could cause issues on their end. So imo, going with the BYOD package is probably the least headache you'll have, considering the existing Asus router that you have.

I'm on Google Fiber 5GB and upgraded to this with a 10gb switch: [https://www.amazon.com/TP-Link-Tri-Band-Archer-BE550-HomeShield/dp/B0C4VZWTM7/](https://www.amazon.com/TP-Link-Tri-Band-Archer-BE550-HomeShield/dp/B0C4VZWTM7/) [https://www.amazon.com/TP-Link-Extender-RE653BE-Tri-Band-Wireless/dp/B0DXTMXKBL/](https://www.amazon.com/TP-Link-Extender-RE653BE-Tri-Band-Wireless/dp/B0DXTMXKBL/)

i have the BE800. its very good and the range is more than enough. i got a 2 story house so i have 2 RE900XD on every floor installed via ethernet cable. i use these 3 as a mesh system and it is great!

I'm a wire tech at ATT, and I don't use our extenders.. Running a tplink Archer be800 and 3 tplink be10000 extenders, two of which are hardwired..

I tried the BE800 for a bit and it screamed on paper but kept dropping my smart plugs and cameras. Switched to an Asus setup and it ran smoother, but the firmware updates were a gamble every time.

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.

what’s your budget? depending on your budget you can get certain stuff. if you really want to get a gig wirelessly go for any wifi 6 router that has access to 160mhz channels so it can send more data. depending on your price point it might be a good idea to buy a wifi 7 router. o have. spectrum gig and i use the tp link ge800 which is amazing and does provide very low latency for gaming and calls. it does also provide my full 1,100 mbps wirelessly which is very nice. the be800 is very similar just not gamer oriented and that’s on a 50% sale on amazon rn. but its still 350$

Have been researching WiFi 7 Routers now for months in an attempt to replace my Deco W7200 (which is starting to struggle with the number of devices I have running). I have watched 1,000 you tube videos, read 3,000 reviews, studied about 4,000 posts on reddit, etc., etc. and after extensive research this is what I have learned: When it comes to affordable mesh systems the Deco BE63 sucks or is awesome, the Orbi 770 sucks or is awesome, and the Asus BT6/BT8 either sucks or are awesome. Then we have stand alone routers: the TP-Link BE800 and BE805 both suck or are both awesome, the Asus RT-BE92U sucks or is awesome, and the Netgear RS600/RS700 either sucks or is awesome. All of them seem to suck more unless they are awesome, then they seem to suck less. All their firmware sucks or is just fine and all of them have constant drops or they don't. You have to have triband or they will suck, unless you go dual band in which case they will suck. Or it's possible to have awesome triband or awesome dual band, albeit unlikely. There is also Eero 7, pro, or max, or super max, which are all awesome but also all suck because they don't have MAC cloning which is a must with my ISP. Of course they may also suck in generally depending on who you ask. Or I could sell a kidney and stop paying my bills for 3 months and turn my house into some kind of Ubiquity super network which will definitely either suck or be awesome. Starting to think I should just throw a dart in Best Buy or Costco and buy whatever it hits. Or just keep the W7200 and start throwing away IOT devices.
