It’s been almost a year since my review of the Archer BE800 BE19000 Tri-Band Wi-Fi 7 Router, one of the first Wi-Fi 7 routers on the market, and TP-Link recently made the Archer BE805 variant available. If you judged from the name and assumed the new router has a bit …
As the first quad-band hardware with the 6GHz spectrum split in two, the TP-Link Deco BE95 BE33000 Quad-Band Whole Home Mesh Wi-Fi 7 System proved complicated in my experience. That was the case when I first got my hands on it in early August 2023—Wi-Fi 7 was still in draft …
The TP-Link Deco BE85 is the first Wi-Fi 7 mesh system on the market, and consists of multiple identical mesh-enabled routers. At the retail price of $1,299.99 for a 3-pack (or $400 less for a 2-pack)—the street price varies and often includes discounts—the TP-Link Deco BE85 is an excellent buy …
The new TP-Link Deco X55 Pro AX3000 Whole Home Mesh Wi-Fi 6 System, officially available on July 7, 2023, is what the previous Deco X60 and especially the Deco X4300 Pro should have been. It’s the first Wi-Fi 6 Deco designed to deliver Gigabit, even faster, broadband in full. In …
This is a quick take to address the requests (and questions) I’ve gotten since the review of the Archer BE800. Folks have been wondering why I didn’t evaluate the Archer BE900 instead. “It’s the king of Wi-Fi routers right now,” they say. Is it, though? TP-Link Archer BE900: The old-school …
At the retail price of $599.99, the TP-Link Archer BE800 BE19000 Tri-Band Wi-Fi 7 Router is not cheap. But it’s also far from a ripoff, considering it’s definitely better than the once-similarly-priced Archer AXE300. Among other things, the new router features Wi-Fi 7 and is the first to have six …
TP-Link today announced the availability of the Archer AX5400 Pro, and as the name suggests, it comes with a 2.5GbE Multi-Gig WAN port. Since the Deco XE75 Pro, TP-Link has been releasing the “Pro” version of existing Wi-Fi broadcasters with the support for Multi-Gig as the sole apparent upgrade. While …
This Omada EAP670 vs. EAP610 matchup represents the top and bottom tiers of TP-Link’s Wi-Fi 6 business access points (APs). They replace the EAP245 and other Wi-Fi Wi-Fi 5 variants. The EAP670 is a top-tier broadcaster, and the EAP610 is entry-level. Other than the differences in hardware specs and physical …
Technically, the Deco XE200 AXE11000 Whole Home Mesh Wi-Fi 6E System is the upgraded version of the Deco XE75—TP-Link’s first Wi-Fi 6E mesh that I reviewed earlier this year. But you can also say it’s replacing the Wi-Fi 6 Deco X90. That’s because, on the inside, all Deco sets are …
The Archer AXE16000 Quad-Band 16-Stream Wi-Fi 6E Router (model Archer AXE300) decidedly puts TP-Link on the list of prominent Wi-Fi 6E vendors. But that’s the least exciting thing about this new Wi-Fi machine. With this Archer AXE300, you’ll also find the availability of the $799.99 Deco XE200 Wi-Fi 6E AXE11000 …
