Archer BE900

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've got the be900 and couldn't be happier. Range and speeds are great with my 2.5gig plan.

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.

How dare you call TP-Link routers gimmicky. I'm now going to set the front LEDs of my BE900 to angry face! In all seriousness I think the archer series is very reliable and easy to setup but the price is quite hefty. (I'd go as far as call it "TOO hefty"). You can buy 2-3 unify routers for the price. That sucks.

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.

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.

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