TP-Link - Archer BE800

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 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 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 returned it. Went with the BE800 instead. Doesn’t have a fan.

I just got a TP Link be19000, seems to match what you want. 2x10gb (one or both can be LAN if you have spf), 4x2.5gb, meshable, wifi 7. 

I ended up switching the BE15000 out for the BE19000 (on sale from Costco for less than the BE15000). The 15k just wasn’t providing thorough WiFi coverage. I also found that the BE19k has restart and firmware scheduling built-in, so it does those jobs in the wee hours of the morning so it’s fresh as a daisy and ready for work when I get up. I also added a “AX5400 WiFi 6 Range Extender” in our detached garage so we now get a full 3-bars of coverage everywhere. It’s been trouble-free since I scheduled the early morning reboots.

I just picked up the Asus gt 98 pro it's an excellent router . It resolved my dead zones entirely . Ya it's over kill and expensive but it helped me I had a be1900 tp link and it just wasn't strong enough required weekly reboots with drops . With the quad band there are no drops and it's much better than the tri band . I mean mainly my basement and top floors had issues and the Asus can penetrate the walls better in my experience.

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

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.

They are incredible and simple. I’ve had a setup with the WiFi 6e ones, and now have one with WiFi 7 ones. Literally stellar performance. Do you have first hand experience?
