TP-Link - Archer BE900

TP-Link has been accused of having the ability to spy on customers, like Yealink and other Chinese manufacturers. Since then they have become TP-Link USA and I haven't seen that accusation in years. You really can't beat the fact you can get a WiFi 7 quad-band router with 2.5G uplink and LAN ports for $100 at most Walmarts. It's honestly pretty tough to find a better deal for that money.

I went all in with a 4 band BE900 and love it. My house is 1000 sq ft with a large yard. I had been using an Asus mesh system but no longer need the second access point.

I have a TP-Link BE900 wifi 7 router that I use - has no problem with my 5 gig connection (it has 2 10 gobs WAN/LAN RJ-45 and a RJ-45 or SFP+ pair of 10 gbps ports (you can only use one or the other). If you don't mind tp-link data collecting, it does work well - use a tp-link TL-SX100B 10gpbs unmanaged switch with it to make part of my LAN 10gpbs. Speed tests show that I get the full 5gbps to my computer on that segment of the LAN to the internet. Don't know if it'll handle 8gbps, but it works well at 5gpbs. It doesn't do MLO very well - it was an early model, so I don't know if it handles the full WiFi 7 spec or not. The switch and router are both relatively inexpensive - 10gbps equipment is getting cheaper.

If you're after top-tier security and performance, the TP-Link Archer BE900 is best. Wi-Fi 7, WPA3, loads of ports, and great coverage. Definitely worth checking out.

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

I have mine in passthru with a TP-Link Archer WiFi-7 router. No issues.

I have always used Asus for as long as I can remember but I just got a TP Link system because I recently tried upgrading my Asus mesh with newer models (2 different ones) and one had constant rebooting issues which they can't fix and the other has 2.4 GHz WiFi issues which they also can't fix. Both are their WiFi 7 models.

Fuck tp link. I bought a wifi 7 one and shit sucks. Went back to my Asus. Glad to know it wasn't just my router

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.
