"had my ge800 for almost a year now and it works flawlessly with spectrum’s internet."
"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 can vouch for the GE800 it’s fantastic mine has been a rock and ridiculously fast."

"does provide very low latency for gaming and calls"
"It's the only tri-band wifi 7 router I can just fiber to, so I can use short cat8 out to ps5, tv from there avoiding latency of cat cable on the long run."
"has a gaming mode when you want to relax"

"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."
"When I got the GE800 it was easy to add it as the main router and keep the other as mesh satellites."
"If you want to do mesh with it the GE800 is easy mesh capable"

"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."
"Problem is it wakes me up every night when I hear a flying around in the living room"
"Stupid loud. I think mine is faulty. No way it could be making this much noise normally."

"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."
"i have a ge800 from tp link and i use the ax21 from tp link as a router ethernet back hall and i get better ping and latency (not overall speed) but its still better than the ge800 where speeds next to that router are above i gig but ping is 20 while next to the ax21 its 11"
"i see no noticeable difference or latency improvement from wifi 6ghz and 5ghz."

"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. ... Problem was I wasn't getting the max speeds on those bands and it kept dropping to lower Mbps"

Aggressive_Pop8690 1.0i am using tp links ge 800.
Alexkh1991 1.0I 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
Caprichoso1 1.0Just 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.
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.
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.
My Tp-Link GE800-BE800 mesh system gives me 930 Mb/s 30 feet away upstairs. Wood construction.

dr150 1.0Deco 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.
Flat-Sign-4373 1.0I 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
iikl 1.0Did you replace yours? Mine is loud too. Not sure if this is normal or not
JOSTNYC 1.0BE550 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.
Lulizarti 1.01) 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).
M-O-O-N_SPELLS 1.0I’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.
