i am using tp links ge 800.
I have the tp link ge800 for $350 on sale Amazon, this guy is a beast. I came from asus btw. If you have any questions lemme know
Just upgraded to a TP-Link WiFi 7 mesh G800 and B800 with great black friday prices. Get 940 Mbps 30 feet away upstairs. Controllable via their tether app.
Just got the GE800 and BE800 to install as a mesh system with the black friday sales. Getting 940 Mbps upstairs 30 feet away from the GE800 wired to BE800.
There are excellent black friday prices for the TP-Link GE800 and BE800 right now if you want to setup a mesh network. The GE800 is a gaming router. I get 940 Mbps, my network limit, from the BE800 extender 30 feet away and upstairs. Don't game so haven't tested those feature.
My Tp-Link GE800-BE800 mesh system gives me 930 Mb/s 30 feet away upstairs. Wood construction.
I get \~930 Mb/s upstairs 30 feet away with my TP-Link GE800-BE800 mesh system.
I'm getting \~930 Mbps with a 13 ms ping with a TP-Link GE800 meshed with a BE800 located about 30 feet away upstairs.
*Wired is always better.* Not necessarily so, comparing to 1 GbE. Next to my router I get \~1400 Mbps as compared to the ethernet limit of \~930 Mbps - almost 50% faster. Upstairs 30 feet away, where cabling is almost impossible, I get 930 Mbps with a TP-Link G800 and B800 mesh network which were on sale for Black Friday. This is the same speed I would get if it were wired.
Deco works really well with extending range. Actually better than a range extender, as Mesh systems are designed from the ground up to work with each other in the system. I had a Ge800 tied to a be550 and a WiFi 7 range extender. Super good stuff right? But it's half ass "patched up" jerky jerky mesh was no match to a Deco. Deco was snappier, more reliable, and longer range.
I tried a archer ge800 wifi 7 it struggled with wifi 6/6e devices even on the mlo band, its like they didn't put that much effort into the 2.4 and 5ghz band i even connected to them separately. if you had wifi 7 devices it would have been a great router. Problem was I wasn't getting the max speeds on those bands and it kept dropping to lower Mbps
Did you replace yours? Mine is loud too. Not sure if this is normal or not
BE550 had all 2.5gb ports and GE800 has both 2.5gb and 10gb ports. The GE800 is geared for gaming. I have both for sale if youre interested let me know.
I had nothing but positive experiences. So much so that I bought 2 other BE550s to put them in a hardwired easymesh setup. When I got the GE800 it was easy to add it as the main router and keep the other as mesh satellites. I was even able to add a vpn to the GE800 and spice upy gaming. My only complaint was the Tether app.
1) I have Tplink Archer GE800 (BE19000) with Hikari Cross 10G and OCN - MapE connection Ipv4 over 6 protocol. The TPLink does have an English interface. I picked this over Buffalo because of it. 2) TPLink setup for the Ipv4 over 6 is super easy. It is just a drop down select option and login credentials provided by ISP. It takes about 2-5 minutes to fully establish connection. The japanlife wiki has a general overview guide for setting up and testing ipv6. You need to go to a specific website to verify if your connection is properly setup. 3) As you said, you get a unique Ipv6, but when you use the internet, you will almost always be using the shared ipv4 address on the internet. Hosting on a shared Ipv4 address does not work. I did find this from an old post: "Get a domain then set it up with Cloudflare and point it to your IPv6 address with port 80 (http). Cloudflare routing will make it accessible to IPv4 internet." Logically it makes sense. Treat cloudflare as a proxy for ipv6. Cloudflare is free (ish). So the only cost would be purchasing a domain (~1000-2000¥ a year).
I’ve gotten better Speedtest latency results compared to both the TP-Link GE800 and the UniFi Express 7 that I had previously. YMMV, but for me it’s been great for gaming.
I had the archer GE800 ( first and last TP-link) and it was an awful experience. The firmware was extremely buggy since they added the AI QOS. The fan was also annoying, it runs really hot too. I switched to UniFi cloud Gateway Fiber with one access point WiFi 7 2 weeks ago. And no problem. There is a leaning curve with UniFi OS ( so many different things) but it’s all good now. And I don’t have to pay a subscription to access simple options. The UCG Fiber is small but as powerful as the GE800.
