TP-Link Archer BE6500 Dual-Band Wi-Fi 7 Router Archer BE400 Dual 2 5 Gbps Ports USB 3 0 Covers

I recently upgraded my home network with the TP-Link Tri-Band BE9700 WiFi 7 router, and I am absolutely thrilled with the results. This router deserves a solid 5/5 rating for its exceptional performance, ease of setup, and impressive speed improvements. Setting up the BE9700 was a breeze. The intuitive TP-Link tether app guided me through the process step-by-step, and I had my new network up and running in a matter of minutes. It seamlessly integrated with my existing modem, and I encountered no hitches or complications. The most noticeable improvement has been the incredible boost in speed. I replaced an older WiFi 5 router, and the difference is truly remarkable. Even with my current devices, which are only compatible with WiFi 6, I am routinely experiencing 2x to 3x faster speeds in the same locations throughout my house. Downloads are quicker, streaming is smoother, and online gaming is virtually lag-free. It's clear that the BE9700 is optimized to deliver superior performance even to older generation devices, making it a worthwhile upgrade even if you don't yet have WiFi 7 compatible clients. I haven't had the chance to test it with a true WiFi 7 client yet, but based on its current performance, I have no doubt that it will deliver even more impressive speeds and a truly next-generation wireless experience. The tri-band technology ensures that there's plenty of bandwidth for all my devices, preventing congestion and maintaining consistent, high-speed connections. If you're looking to future-proof your home network and experience a significant leap in wireless performance, the TP-Link Tri-Band BE9700 WiFi 7 router is an outstanding choice. Read more

I bought this router and connected it in place of an old Apple router that maxed out at 90Mbps. This Apple routers signal was not strong enough to reach my detached garage, so I was unable to use the built in camera on the LiftMaster garage door opener. Now, the door opener camera works perfectly and router speeds are above 600Mbps. It was simple to install and well worth the money. I only wish I would have purchased this sooner. Read more

Sometimes, it's difficult to get your mind around the tech jargon and wifi routers and modems can be the worst. I tried to keep it simple and to just buy a newer model that provides some tech longevity. I asked my internet service provider for some makes and models they know works with their internet service and TP-Link was recommended. I wanted to buy a system where I could extend the wifi range and bought the Tri-Band BE 9700 Wifi 7 Router. Firstly, it is quite big so make sure you have a space to put it. The set up was very simple but it's always best to download the manual before you buy to ensure you can understand the setup instructions before you commit the money. I have been running this router for a few weeks now and it works very well. No setup issues and, coupled with a TP-Link range extender, reaches all of my property. Very happy with the product from both an operation perspective and build quality. I certainly recommend the TP-Link BE9700. Read more

TP-Link BE6500/Archer BE400. I have modest home network, several WIN PCs, Samsung phones & tablets, 5 Rokus, and one Asus Chromebox. I have medium network skills. I replaced a now deprecated Netgear router with this unit. Overall I found it very good and easy to set up, EXCEPT I could not get file sharing to work where I wanted it. Critical to my selection of this unit was the USB port on the router which is my alternative to a NAS. Got the WIN 8.1, 10, & 11 on the file share with some hassle, but just could not get the Chromebox access figured out. Finally, with help of ChatGPT, I determined something about the smb implementations of Chromebox made it incompatible with this router, although no problems with my old Netgear router. Bottom line: DON'T EXPECT FILE SHARE WITH USB PORT TO WORK ON A CHROMEBOX. There is a low performance work around, namely to install a 3rd party file manager on the Chromebox that incorporates file sharing via ftp connection. Since the file sharing is a minor aspect of my home environment I won't return the router but if this is critical to your use, don't expect it. Otherwise, this seems like a good value for the other features. I live in an old house with Roku units in 5 different rooms; I had to use a range extender to get furthest units connected with the old Netgear unit. With this TP-Link router I have retired my range extenders and have good performance with the Rokus. Read more
