Works pretty good. It's got good range I live in a bigger apartment and I don't have trouble with the other rooms not getting WiFi. The set up is easy when you download the tether app

The TP link BE 5000 is a budget Wi-Fi seven ethernet and it shows. The 5G and 2.4 signal strengths are incredibly weak and have difficulty even passing through cheap office doors. After attempting TP link Wi-Fi range extenders and failing to have enough signal to even create a back channel. This product was ultimately returned to the store and replaced with an Orbi 660 mesh system. After purchasing the TP link router +2 Wi-Fi extenders the budget cost of the Orbi 660 ended up being nearly the exact same, and the Orbi outperforms the TP link with zero effort. Congrats to those who had five star experience, but mine ultimately has turned me off TP products

Purchased after my 11 year old router finally expired. Successfully connected to the modem and worked well for three days. From the fourth day however I’ve had to reboot the router, modem, or both almost every day as the signal keeps dropping out. Will be contact the Geek Squad for advice.

This router has been easy to set up and get working with my network. I always keep my own router between my devices and the wifi provider's modem so that I can control the traffic into and out of my home. Not a super experienced user so easy setup is a must for me.

This is my first experience with TP-Link. The router is fast and easy to set up. I ran into a unique situation connecting to my Generac Generator, which only uses 2.4G. Carlo is the tech who helped me a problem that I probably created in connecting, and got the situation with the generator taken care of. Great tech support.

This worked as recommended by Best Buy people. They directed me to the router I needed. The device was in line to what I needed - not to much overpowered or under powered. It was easy to set up.

Easy to install, this router definitely improved our streaming speed and capability. We had recently switched out our old cable boxed and updated to streaming and Xumo. Our old router wasn't hacking the extra streaming. The TP-Link-Archer BE5000 did the trick and now we can have multiple devices in use at one time with no problem.

Says I have full strength but I still can’t stream anything. My kids can’t even do their work due to the fact if they are not sitting right next to it.

While the router has many of the features I was looking for, I have to power cycle it every day. Both my wifi and ethernet randomly drop out and cannot reconnect. Looking online this is an issue that has been ongoing for over a year with various TP-Link routers and no fix seems to be available.
