Yay. I love my new router. I have a lot of smarthome devices, and I host a home web/game server for work. I was very afraid that my port forwarding/dynamic DNS and smarthome would be a pain to migrate to a new router. I was wrong. I used the same network name and password as my old router, and all of my devices reconnected fine (except one chinese security camera which i fixed after). The range is as decent as my old Netgear Nighthawk R7000. The lower frequencies (2.4ghz) have higher range and are better for that. But for processing power of a router, this is it baby. This thing increased my network speed by ~100mbps down and also decreased my latency, pretty impressive. This thing will easily be able to handle all of my smart home devices, server needs and gaming/streaming needs. I think it was a worthy upgrade from my 13yr old router. Quick setup tip: make sure to power down your modem and router first, because your modem is expecting the previous routers MAC address, so you might have to call your ISP and have them send a reboot signal from their end to get your modem to accept the new router MAC address. Other than that, setup was a breeze. Dynamic DNS works well, port forwarding was easy, and there are SO many features I haven't even looked into yet. I also have a TP-LINK network switch, and the router and switch are playing nicely together. All and all, I had netgear routers for like 20 years and they were great, i'm pleased to say that TP-LINK is also great, time will tell though.

So far after a couple weeks of use it has been fantastic. The tp link app is easy to set up and makes configuring the router a breeze! For more customization, go to the router configuration page on your browser and tweak some extra settings. Having the ability to separate devices, isolate them, and keep them from accessing other network devices is an amazing feature for certain smart devices that you dont want to communicate to other devices or the internet. You also have the ability to hide your networks and create guest networks. Utilize this! Overall coming from Xfinity gateways, this is a HUGE step up in home network performance. Tip: You can connect an external drive to the usb port on the router and have an easy setup network storage device!

I originally had the BE5000 model and constantly dealt with WiFi instability, random drops, and inconsistent performance. After getting frustrated with ongoing issues, I decided to upgrade to the BE6500, and the difference has been night and day. The BE6500 has been significantly better to work with. Setup was straightforward, firmware has been stable, and I have not had a single WiFi issue since installing it. No random disconnects, no weird slowdowns just consistent, reliable performance. Speeds are excellent, coverage is strong throughout the house, and the 2.5Gb ports are a great addition for higher speed networking. It feels like a properly refined version compared to the BE5000. If you’re debating between the two, the BE6500 has been far more stable in my experience. Very happy with the upgrade.

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.

This router brought the fiber speeds back into this house that we've been missing. The range is excellent however I did buy a TP range extender to have another device share the bandwidth load and to keep home devices operating to their full potentials. Speed and ping is low and when it's not it's typically the isp bottling up and nothing a good restart doesn't immediately fix. The TP app is very functional and easy to navigate. I actually subscribed to thier anti-virus and canceled my more expensive one that didn't didn't cover as much.. Their security covers your entire network the other just the device.

Excelente! Nunca mais problema de falha na comunicação, downloads e uploads aproveitando toda a largura de banda, maior área de cobertura e agora pega em todos os cômodos da casa com sinal forte.

EXCELENTE

Good signal with optional IoT network, well made, good value. Easy to use. Integrates with TPlink app which works well. Highly recommended for WiFi 7 on a budget. Note comes with US plug, so needs a UK plug separately

Produto funcionando bem até agora, melhorou o sinal da casa.

Excelente y mejores resultado con el extensor de señal wifi .
