TP-LinkTri-Band BE19000 Wi-Fi 7 Gaming Router Archer GE800 | 12-Stream 19 Gbps | 2×10G + 4×2.5G Ports, USB 3.0 | Turbo Acceleration, Dedicated Gaming Port & Panel, RGB Lighting | EasyMesh, HomeShield

Setup was easy.Speeds are awesome.It asked me to update its firmware so I did & the internet has been solid & stable.No wifi buffering or lag spikes while hardwire gaming.QOS is nice and just like ASUS QOS, being able to use either Ethernet or Fiber Optic Cable as a input for the internet future proofs your router.My ISP's top plan only allows for 2.5GBPS down & 100mbps up but I can notice the difference coming from a AX11000 Asus router that only handled 1GBPS input.I'm using all Cat 8 ethernet cables so I'm good up to 40GBPS but I know that's 5+ years away for my ISP.NAT filtering is On & UPNP is on for the best connectivity to online games.The server acceleration is done through a 3rd party program called WT Fast which is subscription based but I've had it before and I don't think it's necessary.You don't have to have it on if you don't want to. It's off by default.Overall I am very satisfied with my purchase and will recommend TP-Link for routers to my friends in the future.This is coming from an ASUS fan boy.All my pc hardware is Asus but TP-Link had the flexibility of having a Ethernet or Fiber Optic Cable as the internet line input so that was my deciding factor. Plus this TP-Link has 4 2.5gbps LAN ports & 1 10GBPS LAN port..Net gears flagship router didn't stand a chance compared to this the only one I considered was the Asus wifi 7 gaming flagship router but like I said. It wasn't as flexible when it came to connections & overall ports.

I recently had purchased the BE800 to begin upgrading my home Wi-Fi. Coming from an old Nighthawk from 8 years ago, this was a big step. I had some reboot issues and problems starting connected for some devices, but overall was pleased with the increased range and speed.Then they finally released the GE800 in the US and I pulled the trigger right away to take advantage of the $100 discount that is ongoing until July 16th. Although I missed my LCD animations on the BE800, it was worth it for the increased number of devices, the perceived better range and so far much better reliability. The game enhancement features appear to be improving my gaming and I haven't had a single issue other than a DEAD power supply that came with it. I filed an RMA and used another supply with the same model number that I had. (UPDATE EDIT: I spoke with customer service, told them the issue with the power supply, and in less than a week received my replacement power supply. Very fast, very efficient, very consumer friendly!) The BE800 has become my satellite router for my EasyMesh network. Now I have seamless Wi-Fi throughout the home and I haven't had any need for rebooting or any other issues.The LED RGB on the router is a nice little feature, but lacks the usefulness that the small LCD on the BE800 had. I kept it simple and chose some custom colors and haven't thought of it again since I keep the router off to the side and more or less out of sight and mind.The Tether app is great and gives you a lot freedom for seeing Wi-Fi times, prioritizing certain devices, scheduling reboots and updates, customizing the RGB, and a few other great features.Overall this is a great router that should keep you at the front of the technology race for at least the rest of this year until the next big thing comes out. You'd likely be able to keep this router in your home network for the next few years without remorse.

I ended up returning an ASUS router for this thing. I am so much happier. It actually stays connected and the speeds are better than anything else I’ve used before! I don’t believe I have any WiFi 7 devices at the moment but I do have a few WiFi 6E devices and it is quite fast connecting to the 6ghz with limited compatibility, I’m definitely impressed. Also over a wire I was nearly maxing out my 2.5 gig connection to the internet at about 2300mbps up and down. It’s honestly pretty dang cool. This router is definitely the way to go if you’ve got a fiber connection above 1gig. The mobile app makes it pretty easy to initially setup although it’s got limited options when it comes to settings. The web interface does open up several more options which is great. It is more limited in terms of options compared to the ASUS routers I’ve used over the past several years but this actually works so I’m not going to complain! Overall a solid router choice I personally find it to be worth the money and if you can pick it up on sale great!

My previous Motorola Surfboard wasn't cutting it as a router, so I got this.While working on developing my 4-player VR game, I couldn't solve some issues, and I thought it was my code. It turns out it was my old router. Switching to this was a game-changer (pun intended). The MUMIMO fixed all my gaming issues.Another unexpected benefit: My bandwidth went up significantly!! I had no idea my previous router was a bottleneck! Speed tests showed that I went from 59Mbps Down and like 11 Up to 344Mbps Down and 25 Up! I can confirm it was the router too. My Surfboard (router and modem combo) continued to function as the modem, even though I turned off it's router feature to use the AX10000 as my router.Another unexpected benefit: The router software is so much more user-friendly and loaded with stuff I didn't expect! I was able to plug in an external SSD and use it as a shared network drive for all our phones, computers, tvs, etc. It's like having a real NAS, and it only took a few minutes to setup.It wasn't cheap, per se. For me it was a necessity, but I was pleasantly surprised with it.
