    Works great for price

    I get good connection while maintaining high speeds on over 25 devices that are gaming or streaming video several times concurrently with no issues, my old house causes a bit of interference but this works better in that regard than several others I have tried also very low profile compared to other models with antenna sticking up

    Wow! It is worth it.

    I was on the fence about getting this, but my home has a lot of devices running through it. The WiFi 7 6mhz band allows my son to play games over WiFi w/a WIFI7 triband adapter at as close as your going to get to wired speed/latency. I have a new iPhone and it pulled 1.3 gbs while I was in my living room. Do I need that speed? Nope, but I have it. It also lets my apply my VPN at the router, it has excellent range and MLO. If you’re on the fence and wondering if this will get you higher speeds- it will. At least for me it has across all of my devices that count.

Questions & Answers

  • Which TP link extender would work best with this router?

    We would recommend using one of our Wi-Fi 7 Range Extenders for best results, such as the RE655BE or RE450BE. Alternatively, you can use a second Archer BE9700 Wi-Fi router in an EasyMesh configuration as a satellite mesh node.

  • Is this the true be9700, or the not-so-equivalent be600 variant? And similar to another question here, what hardware version is BB offering here (v1.60 or v1)?

    The sub-version number notes the manufacturing facility the product was produced in. I am not sure what you mean regarding the BE9700 and BE600 models. But you have questions you can reach out to TP-Link support for assistance.

  • What is the estimated sq ft of coverage that this router will support?

    Hi, Wi-Fi coverage varies from one home to another based on factors including, but not limited to, placement of the router (central is typically ideal), obstructions (e.g., walls) between the router and connected devices, the density of the home's construction materials, which Wi-Fi band your devices are connecting to, and Wi-Fi interference from external sources. The router is EasyMesh compatible for convenient mesh Wi-Fi network expansion if needed using additional EasyMesh devices (such as another Archer BE9700 or compatible EasyMesh Wi-Fi Router/Extender).
