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 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.

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 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.

What speed is your fiber plan? I have a wifi 7 tp link that I’ve been using for over a year now. Solid router with no issues. The software to control isn’t amazing but if you don’t have a complicated setup- it would serve you just fine. Although I do suspect you can get a better price if you hunt around. Netgear is also a solid brand.

Honestly, TP-Link seems to have the best value WiFi7 certified on the market. This ASUS router isn't even certified. I purchased mine for $170 on sale, only drawback is no 10G ports; they're all 2.5G (which isn't an issue for like 95% of consumers).
