TP-Link BE6500 Dual-Band WiFi 7 Router (BE400) – Dual 2.5Gbps Ports, USB 3.0, Covers up to 2,400 sq. ft., 90 Devices, Quad-Core CPU, HomeShield, Private IoT, Free Expert Support

This router is incredibly powerful and works exceptionally well with WiFi7. I can easily achieve speeds of over 800 Mbps through WiFi. The setup process is straightforward, and the accompanying app is highly convenient. Considering its price, I highly recommend this router.

Purchased to replace a Netgear Nighthawk router that was being phased out. I was skeptical about the TP-Link, but two IT folks praised their performance. Wasn't sure that the TP-Link would have the same reach. I have about 2500 sq. ft home and it reaches all corners including a 3-season room about 60 feet away, the basement and outdoor cameras. Also reaches the front and back patios without a glitch. All that considering the unit sits on an open shelf in the bottom of the TV stand at the far end of the house. I'm an average user, so the WiFi 7 upgrade was a bit more than we needed. I have been pleased with its perfomance since purchasing 4 months ago. The set up was easy as is the Tether app. I was able to set up dedicated 2.4 and 5 GHz and select the band for each device, as well as a dedicated guest network. Happy with the purchase.

This router is just what I needed. I used the app, and setup was a breeze! I did buy a longer ethernet cord (and step up to cat8) separately because of my setup. I also ended up having to use the longer power cord from my old router to reach the power strip... Those things weren't really problems, just something to keep in mind. I used same name/password as my old router, and 90% of my devices automatically connected. Just fantastic! Great speed and signal strength, haven't had any problems in the week it's been in use. So happy I went with tp-link!

This is a high-quality and well-priced router in the sub $300 price range. The TP-Link Archer BE6500 Dual-Band Wi-Fi 7 Router (BE400) meets lots of the latest fastest tech standards and is designed for the heavy data pipe you might be getting from fiber connectivity to your home like I now have. The TP-Link Archer BE6500 Dual-Band Wi-Fi 7 Router (BE400) also allows to configure for two separate wifi bands, 2.4 Ghz and 5 Ghz so I can more easily add 2.4 Ghz IoT devices onto the correct band in my home network. The 5 Ghz network is super with noticeably crisp and snappy response times in my computers and phones. I have the TV connected with a Cat 8 Ethernet cable directly to a 2.5 Gbps port on the router back. Overkill, but works fantastic. I really wish the router featured a more home design-friendly look and style with some other colorways, but my needs right now is to save $$$ and have great functionality over form.

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.

I was half expecting to return this, because I didn't fully expect it to make much of a difference. But it was immediately apparent that our Wi-Fi Speeds were enhanced with this router. With my prior setup (including a Wi-Fi 6 router), I was getting roughly 300-400 Mbps on my Pixel 6a when testing in the same room as the router (on the 5 GHz band). With this new router, it usually tests between 1100 and 1400! I was pretty shocked at the difference. Upload speeds even increased a little bit, going from about 34 to 38 Mbps. Real-works differences aren't amazing, but I think web pages are loading more quickly, and video game downloads happen more quickly. I don't have any Wi-Fi 6 devices, which was partially why I wasn't expecting a huge difference. But this router doesn't utilize the 6 GHz band, which was another reason that I chose this one (not expecting to have any Wi-Fi 7 devices other than phones in the near future). Part of Wi-Fi 7 is the aggregation of all of the bands, which makes higher speeds possible. I was already using the tp-link tether app, and setup was pretty easy (though I had to go through all of my iot devices and re-add those, which was a bit annoying). There are no dead spots in my 2600-ish square feet home, even though the router is simply hanging on a wall behind the TV on the first floor (not in the center of the house, it hanging high on the wall). I'd say this is a no-brainer if you already need a new router and don't care about the 6 GHz band. Even if you don't need a new router, but want higher speeds, it is very compelling.

I purchased this TP-Link Wi-Fi 7 router during the Thanksgiving sale. Having had excellent, reliable experiences with TP-Link equipment in the past (including for my startup’s network setup), I chose this model specifically to handle my 1 Gbps fiber connection. I work from home full-time and rely on this network for Zoom meetings, building and publishing Docker images, downloading large machine learning models (7GB+), plus standard web browsing and email. While the router’s range and baseline speeds are excellent across Windows PCs, Linux servers, and mobile devices, I’ve encountered a critical issue with MacBooks (running macOS Sequoia and Tahoe). During Zoom calls or after downloading large files, the Wi-Fi speed on my Macs drops to nearly zero (bytes per second). This occurs on two different MacBooks. Disconnecting and reconnecting to Wi-Fi temporarily restores normal speeds. The issue does not affect any other devices in my home. Unfortunately, switching to a different Mac isn’t a viable option for my workflow. As a workaround, I’ve had to revert to my older ASUS RT-AC68 router, which provides a reliable connection despite being 10 years old. I contacted TP-Link support and provided all requested details. However, they requested I install TeamViewer for remote troubleshooting, which I declined due to security concerns. I initially noticed the issue shortly after purchase but overlooked it until it became unmanageable during important meetings like job interview Recommendation: If you plan to buy this router, I strongly advise testing it with your Macs during the 30-day return window. I’ve spent far too much time troubleshooting a compatibility issue that shouldn’t exist. Save yourself the frustration and use the return policy if you rely on macOS.

I purchased the BE6500 because I wanted to install NordVPN (Virtual Private Network) straight to the router, now anything connected to my router is protected. I was concerned I would loose speed for my IPTV service, that's not the case, works beautiful. The 2400sqft coverage is legit, very strong signal. My home is 2000sqft and I get full speed anywhere in my one story home.

Este router fue fácil de configurar y funciona muy bien. Recuerda desactivar el router en tu módem de cable si se trata de un módem/router combinado.

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.
