This router was easy to setup the app does not have all the access as the web portal but no big deal. Im getting over 800 mb and is a lot faster than my old router. Its the size of an xbox but no big deal. Oh and it covers 1700 sqft house with no issues and i get it outside my house and into my backyard still no issues

Plug and play with xfinity XFI in bridge mode. Speeds increased from old router from ~900Mb/s to ~1300Mb/s. Has all the features you need and is rock solid stable. Zero issues after 2 weeks of use. This router is very easy for beginners to setup, but also has the advanced controls for users with know how to use them. Highly recommended router!

Bought this to replace the Nest Wi-Fi Pros that I bought, and it has been fantastic ever since. Needed one firmware update, great wired throughput, has four 2.5Gbps ports, and THREE(!!!) 10Gbps ports, two ethernet and one SFP. The customizable led lights is just a bonus on top. Getting over 1.4Gbps down with my Comcast service.

I upgraded my AXE300 to this router and overall I have found the AXE300 to be faster for all that I use it for. I have also found the range and speeds at further distances to be better on the AXE300. Maybe if to have a wifi7 device it makes sense, but if not, I recommend the AXE300 or a mesh Wi-Fi system.

So, when i first purchased this my speeds were insane, but within hours it would start rebooting on its own and within a day or 2 i would have to reinstall the backup config. I went through 3-4of these with the exact same problem and finally gave up.

Rather expensive, but has the exact the number of ethernet ports and speeds I wanted for my home system. WiFi is working well within my house and external garage, albeit with an access point at the far end. It is WiFi 7ish, awaiting the final standard,

Just got the TP Link BE800 today and it is fast fast FAST. I set it up offline through Google chrome on my pc. The gui is very easy to navigate through and custom setup was a breeze. Wired 2.5gbps lan connection gives my full isp bandwidth of over 1400mbps and wireless range is at the top of the network list on my TV across my house. It's a keeper.

So i got this router in mid december, worked great for about 2 weeks, great speed etc. After that, it started dropping internet at least 5 times a day. Called comcast and everything on thier end was fine, even had them replace connections and add a weatherproof box to the connections. Still didnt fix it. Took it back yesterday to best buy, returned it and got a new one. It has been a little less than 24 hours now and its working flawlessly. Maybe it was just a bad one. I will update in a month or so if it stops working

Worked great initially. But since the most recent firmware update in April 2024, using the router is like playing russian roulette. It keeps restarting randomly.
So far the support team was able to provide a beta build that only reduced the restarts.
This was replacing the TP-Link Deco system which had faced similar issues. Was hoping for a better experience with the newer device.
But it seems its time to move on from TP-Link.

I had a rock solid ASUS gigabit network for years that annoyingly came to be compromised due to a network intrusion. Moving forward, I felt I had to move away from the vendor as a whole and so at the same time, in an attempt to upgrade my home network to something approaching 10gbE for the critical data-moving devices and 2.5 gbE for the remaining media consumers (with 30 or so IoT devices thrown in for good measure), I decided to go with this router as it was the only device with 4 x 2.5gbE LAN (for my four wall jacks) plus 2x10gbE WAN/LAN ports (one being a sfp+ port). On paper, it was a dream come true for my needs. I proceeded to invest in all the requisite NIC cards, switches, DAC cables, and on and on (I even used the opportunity to shell out for a new QNAP NAS). I have symmetrical gigabit that does 950 mbps up/down without breaking a sweat. I rarely have bad network days. That all changed when I connected this flakey disappointment. The first thing that made me scratch my head was the separate IoT network feature whose default setting was to be both visible and controllable by the main network. You know, the opposite of the whole reason you’d setup a separate IoT network in the first place? There is an add-on feature called “device isolation” that you can enable on a per device basis, but in doing so you’ll add what should be a completely unnecessary, but unfortunately is absolutely necessary, layer of complexity to a home network that, last I checked, hasn’t gotten simpler on its own over the years. There were many other problems, annoyances, poorly implemented good ideas, underselling documentation/explanations, and on the whole the entire Wi-Fi system was maddeningly unreliable. Connecting 8 kasa smart plugs reliably and incorporating them into HomeKit took, I kid you not, 9 hours. Oh never mind, two of the plugs have disappeared as I type this. I’m done here. This router sucks and I’m very annoyed I had to travel for work so it’s now beyond the return period. Look elsewhere! The stars

TP-Link wi-fi router future proof my home.

I wanted to pair this TP-Link - Archer BE800 BE19000 Tri-Band Wi-Fi 7 Router with my 1Gb fiber internet service and to replace my 10-year old ASUS RT-AC87R router which I made it as an access point for my numerous existing SmartThing, Ring, Nest devices.
Did my usual extensive research which included being able to future proof my wi-fi speeds beyond 6e, feature 10G and/or 2.5Gb ports to support my 1Gb+ fiber download/upload speeds as well as connecting to my Synology 10Gb NAS.
This TP-Link router purchase from BestBuy was one of my best decisions. The router was available at my local store for same day purchase. The nice person at the store made the purchase very smooth and I was out the door in under 10 minutes.
The installation process literally took less than 2 hours to complete including the firmware upgrade. I have the router for about 30 days and have not experienced any glitches. It is connected to a 1200W UPS to protect the device and continuous internet service from the occasional electrical surges or brownouts.
The router has two 10Gb ports - one is connected to the 5Gb outbound port on my AT&T gateway while the second 10Gb goes to my 10Gb ethernet port on my NAS. One of the four 2.5Gb ports is connected to an 8-port 2.5Gb switch in my basement which in turn provides reliable down/upload speeds to key end devices in my home network. One of the other port of this 2.5Gb switch is linked to the other two 24-port 1Gb switches that serves to the rest of my house. No issues seen with the hardwired part of this router. Been testing with speedtest app which confirms this.
The wifi 6 range for the router is able to reach past several walls in the house and stayed strong and stable. My mobile phones, iPad, tablets, Windows 11 and MacBook Pro are running on wifi 6 and speedtest results show over 300Mbps down/up speeds which is a lot quicker than my old (understandably so) ASUS wi-fi router.
No regrets with this purchase and will update if anything changes.

I replaced three Wi-Fi 6 Nighthawk Mesh APs with wired backhaul with this, and I couldn't be happier. I get my full gigabit internet speed throughout the whole house where before I could only get those speeds right next to an AP. I run it in AP mode as I use PFSense for my router/firewall. But with the 10 and 2.5G ports I can now use the 10Gb ports on that and I'm ready for multi gigabit internet!

I use this on my new Fiber 1GB net. It just blows every router I have had out of the water. I was a netgear Nighthawk fan till I found this. I am not looking back but forward to how easy Thai is to use with their tether app. I have 6 T.V’s 8 pc’s many handhelds and gaming station and not one bottleneck with this router 200 Thumbs up..!

This router is awesome, It covers my whole 1600 ranch home and it has all the wireless bands 2.5, 5ghz and 6ghz So devices that use WIFI 6E can use MLO for combining radio channels. The 10G network works are great to give the router the greatest wired connectivity. My gaming tower loves it along with the Arris cable modem for Internet access. I just upgraded from my old ATT uverse 80mbps down to over 800mbps down with xfinity 10G service. I think it is funny when people say it has a plastic case yea! you can not have a metal box with WIFI radio antennas, genius. This my first TP-Link router and I can say they did a great job with the hardware and software. I am now all set for WIFI 6E and soon WIFI 7 devices.

I have a few gripes with the app not having the same functionality as the web interface, but all in all this things now gives me faster wireless download speeds than my wired gigabit connection. Cant wait to see how Wifi7 evolves over time. Previous Router was a Linksys Hydrapro something or other. And ill never buy the consumer linksys models again, complete lack of software control. TP link is where its at
