Archer BE550 Tri-Band BE9300 WiFi 7 Router, 6-Stream 9.2Gbps Speed WiFi Router, Full 5x 2.5G WAN/LAN Ports, 6x Internal Antennas Covers Up to 2,000 Sq. Ft., VPN Support, Homeshield, Easy Setup

I acquired this TP-Link Archer C80 router with a specific goal in mind: to simplify my home network and finally get rid of the messy powerline adapters and excessive Ethernet cabling I had running through the house. I am thrilled to say this router has done the job perfectly and exceeded my expectations for speed and stability. The performance boost has been incredible. This AC1900 router delivers speeds up to 1300 Mbps on the 5 GHz band, and I've verified that the super-fast speeds are noticeable across all my devices—both over Wi-Fi and via the Gigabit Ethernet ports. Whether I'm gaming, streaming 4K video, or downloading large files, the connection is rock-solid and fast, which is a massive relief compared to the unpredictable performance of my old powerline setup. The technology inside is clearly working hard. Features like 3×3 MIMO and Beamforming ensure that the Wi-Fi coverage is highly efficient, sending a stronger, more focused signal throughout the house. The Smart Connect feature is also brilliant, automatically directing devices to the best available band. For the price, especially considering the Black Friday deal, this is unbeatable value. It’s a high-performance, dual-band router that offers excellent coverage, fantastic features like Parental Controls and Guest Wi-Fi, and is an incredibly simple, clean, and reliable solution for a modern home network. It’s an easy 5-star recommendation and a must-buy for anyone looking to upgrade their Wi-Fi game.

Good battery life’, good connection, feels well made and keeps up with streaming and day to day tasks. Good value for money.

I originally gave this router 2 stars because the range seemed to be worse than our Google router and 1 Google mesh node. This was surprising as the range stated is 2000 sq feet which should have been more than sufficient. I have since bought a powerful TP Link mesh node and we now have excellent speeds and range. Pros Easy and quick to setup, you don't need to be an expert. The 6ghz network has vastly improved the wifi speeds of my work laptop The Tether app is a little more insightful and useful than the Google home app Cons I was expecting the router alone to have a stronger signal than our Google router and mesh node, but it wasn't. But the router with the TP Link mesh node has created a superior range and speeds compared with our Google system. I seems to take a while to settle in. 2 days ago we couldn't 4k stream from our outbuilding at all. Last night the signal was strong. I will review again in 3 months time

The setup for this router is really easy. Plug the ethernet from the ONT in follow the tether app wizard and bang you are on line. I personaly do not use the smart connect as I like to split my wifi bands. I like the fact I can deny my IOT devices network access for security which is easy to do. The speed of the router and the wifi range is excellant. I had previously a TPlink AX75 which had great range. I replaced it with a Netgear RS300 and found the range not as good. This TPlink BE550 has great range and speed as i wanted having a 3 story house, it provides great coverage. Well reccomended and easy to setup.

I upgraded from a TP-Link Archer AX73 to this BE550, expecting better speeds and wider Wi-Fi coverage. The specs suggest it should be incredible: Wi-Fi 7, up to 9214 Mbps, and a 2.5Gbps port and LAN ports. But in real-world use, it’s honestly been a letdown. The key difference is the antennas: The BE550 has internal/hidden antennas, whereas the AX73 has six proper external high-gain antennas. And that matters. A lot. In my house (Victorian walls, two floors), the AX73 delivers strong, stable Wi-Fi everywhere — upstairs, downstairs, even into the garden. But the BE550 really struggled. Coverage dropped off sharply after just one or two rooms, speeds became inconsistent, and devices would occasionally disconnect. It feels like this router was designed for a small apartment or studio space, not an actual home with brick walls. (I barely got 20mbps on my phone and maybe 55mbps on macbook) After a couple of frustrating days, I’ve boxed the BE550 and instead ordered the Archer AX72 Pro, which has Wi-Fi 6 + a 2.5Gbps port — and if it performs anything like the AX73, it’ll be a far better fit for a full house. Pros: ✅ 2.5Gbps WAN/LAN for faster internet backhaul ✅ Clean, minimal design ✅ Easy setup Cons: ❌ Internal antennas = noticeably weaker range ❌ Struggles through real-world walls ❌ Worse performance than cheaper TP-Link models ❌ Not suitable for house-sized coverage Verdict: If you live in a flat or open-plan apartment, this might be fine. But for a house, especially with solid walls, stick to the Archer AX series (AX72 Pro / AX73 / AX5400 range). They simply perform better where it matters. Sometimes the newest isn’t the best — and in this case, the “upgrade” was actually a downgrade.

The router in general works well but... 1. The child website filtering appears to be broken with some strange websites being blocked. 2. Subscription required to get more advanced features which were on their older routers, this is just a disgusting money grab. 3. The web interface feels incomplete. For example, copying a device to reserve an IP address does not always copy the device name and then there is no way to change the name once reserved. 4. Why does it shut down and restart all the Wifi bands when I adjust one particular band. 5. The 5 and 6 GHz bands appear to slow when under load and does not give the expected performance even though connection to each band is >1900Mbps

Ottimo prodotto

The product looks sleek, is super easy to set up with their included guide and most importantly, does the job. Fixed my range and speed problems within minutes of arrival it's that easy. Decent price and gives tons of features such as controlling connected devices connections and naming networks. 100% recommend to everyone else, regardless of other negative reviews!!!

Stabil im 5 und 2.4 GHZ Wlan reichweite okay als Accesspoint Firmware upgrade nicht vergessen !

كان عندي راوتر لنكسس ea2700 وهذا الراوتر اتفوق عليه بمراحل من ناحية الاستقرارية والتغطية. من ناحية التغطية فهو يغطي غرفتي بشكل كامل بالاضافة الي الغرفتين اللي بجواري وتوصل السرعة لها شبه كاملة أنصح فيه بشدة خصوصا لو ميزانيتك في هذا الحدود. ونصيحة ابتعد عن راوترات هواوي لانه اسعارها مبالغ فيها جدا وأدائها أقل من عادي عن واقع تجربة

Best product, good speed,best range.
