TP-Link - Archer BE805

I own the same model from Costco (Archer Be805). The hardware itself is great as is the range. It's a beast. The firmware does suck though. I believe there is a memory leak issue requiring me to reboot every few days. The connection basically gets very unstable and certain devices won't connect. I've also had other weird issues. I even exchanged it and had the same exact issues so it's definitely crap firmware. Last available firmware update I believe was in March. I side-graded from a Netgear Nighthawk router.

I do have the archer be19000. Only thing that is not so good is the wifi signal. Not really strong and had to get another tp link repeater for 3000¥ and now it's linked through easymesh. After that it worked great. I got it because of the 2x 10G Ethernet ports. None of the issues mentioned in Amazon here so far. I keep the firmware up to date and even use the VPN Host function to remotely access my stuff when I'm outside.

Routers never last more than 2y for me, so I always buy from Costco. I have always gone with Netgear when they carried them, due to good ratings on SmallNetBuilder. All my Netgears are dead, so I got a TPLink BE805 last month as it was the only Wifi7 one they had. I just ordered this Asus to try. I like the 2.5G ports for my NAS, but I wish it had 5 or six, not 3. I hope Costco switch from TPLink to Asus.

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?
