Archer GE800

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.

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 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.

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.

With wood construction I can get 930 Mb/s 30 feet away upstairs with the 2 mesh systems I've tried: 1. TP-Link GE800-BE800 2. Firewalla Gold Pro hardware firewall with 2 AP7s I am selling the TP-Link due to the Firewallas superior support, extensive phone and web configuration and reporting options via the Gold Pro.

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

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.

I went with TP-Link Omada. I kind of wish I went with ubiquity. I haven’t checked the subreddit much for either, but I’m having some issues with a new AP, a wifi 7 device which isn’t playing well with my AC and AX APs. Edit I also had a consumer wifi mesh setup but with nearly 100 devices the archer BE19000 was having DHCP assignment issues.
