Solid Router
Seems to have good range, sufficient for a small to medium size house. I like that it has all 2.5 GB ethernet ports. Easy to use and set up. The web based set up wizard makes it easy even for novices. A brand I trust!

DONT BUY
Don't waste your money! Would highly recommend buying a WiFi router from netgear, way better quality and customer service! Had issues since day one, with TP-Link! Talked to Nikko from the Philippines, that clown told me to return the router back to the store and buy a router from netgear. So that is exactly what I'm doing.

works great
This router is a wonderful upgrade from our previous router. With numerous devices online we are still getting great speeds and having no signal issues. We are very happy with this upgrade from our previous router.

Works great
I was skeptical that this was going to work but I am so happy we tried it. It has helped with our access to the internet with all our devices. We are a house of 5 and everyone has a phone, tablet, or game system. We also stream our tv so we need the internet and our old router was slow. I also like the app which tells me who is accessing the internet and I can remove them if I need to.

Great bang for the buck
The TP-Link Archer BE6500 Dual-Band Wi-Fi 7 Router has been a great addition to our home. We have a three story home and our previous router had issues reaching to all corners of the house. Since switching, we have had not problems at all! Easy to set up and not an eyesore. The only downfall is that we thought it came with a modem, but you need to buy it separately.

Excellent router for multiple devices!
The setup was a bit annoying, but not due to the product itself. It's just the typical "download this app, go through x amount of steps" type thing that all devices require these days. That said, once setup was done, all of my devices connected to the wifi without issue. The dynamic switching option between 2.4g and 5g is nice, as the router actively watches for the best possible connection and will switch as needed to provide that better connection for you. The overall capacity for download speeds is amazing, as we had multiple devices working all at the same time. With two computers gaming, a laptop streaming video, and both the PS5 and Xbox running online games, there was no noticable drop in download speeds or lag on any device. There are also multiple mounting options (flat surface, wall mount) and the antennas are easily movable. This router is well worth the money!!

Not User-Friendly Security Control
The setup on this was fairly easy and for the most part it works well. Something we've never experienced before that is now (sometimes) happening is when we open a computer that has been asleep or off for a while, the wifi takes a bit to start up. The security is not as user-friendly and after we have connected some devices and then turned the blocking on, it disconnects the devices we connected so we have to start over. Also, there are not as many security options for blocking specific websites as we had with our last router.

Hello Badger, Most modern client devices (PCs, Phones, etc.) have built-in features that randomize the MAC address of the device. If you have Whitelist enabled on the router, what could be happening is that the client creates a new MAC when it signs in. The MAC is not recognized and is blocked by the Whitelist. To fix this, you either have to disable the Whitelist or the Random MAC feature on the client device. For this or other concerns please reach out to TP-Link Support at your convenience. Best Regards TP-Link Systems Support

Great item for those who work from home! Faster internet, no buffering.
I had no idea what to do with this item, but my tech-savy husband did! He was at first excited, but soon realized the one we recieved from our cable service is actually better/stronger. This is a nice item for those who work from home - like me! This did supply fast internet, movies & shows didnt buffer.

Good!
I actually received this and swapped my spectrum equipment out and it works so much better than what I’ve got from my internet provider. The only downside that it’s not as slim, but overall it works really well.

Quick speeds
Wow, this TP-Link BE6500 Wi-Fi 7 router blew me away! Setup was super simple through the Tether app — I had it running in under 10 minutes. The speed boost is unreal. Every device in the house, from my smart TV to my gaming PC, stays connected with zero lag or buffering. The 2.5G multi-gig ports are a great bonus for my wired connections, and the range easily covers my entire two-story home (even the backyard). The design is sleek and feels premium too — not something I have to hide behind the TV. If you’re looking to future-proof your network, this Wi-Fi 7 router is worth every penny. Super fast, super reliable, and perfect for families or gamers.

Great router through the whole house
We had a google wifi setup, but the back end of the house wasn't getting solid coverage. So we decided to upgrade and this is a small but mighty solution! A single point and has no issues getting to the back of our house and well into the front yard/street! I can access it in my car in the driveway no problem. Super easy to setup, comes with it's own app, was pretty seamless.

Great range WiFi router that is easy to set up
This is a good WiFi router with great range and easy to set up. The modem that I have from my Internet provider has WiFi built in, but I have problems with it reaching to the end of my house, even though it's pretty central and my house is not made of brick or anything like that. But with this new router, I have NO problems having full signal strength throughout my house. I set it up using the Tether app, and it was really simple to go from unboxed to serving devices in my house. Have not tried the web based set up, so cannot speak to that. Overall, this is a good value for a good product. If you're in the market for a more powerful WiFi router, this is a good option.

Perfect for Two People who Work Remotely
Incredibly excited to put this to use. We've had the same router provided by Verizon FIOS for 5 years now (Verizon Fios G3100). After a ton of research we've found that this is faster and better in almost every way, so we will be dedicating a weekend to changing over our smart home in the coming weeks. We have a semi-smart home and only currently purchase internet from Verizon, so that makes it slightly easier than if we had cable as well. Will need to ensure conversion of all smart devices, and the existing mesh network, but once that's all done we hope that internet connectively is stronger and faster than before. Would recommend the conversion (even if it is time consuming for a "smart home").

Solid!
A solid dual-band wi-fi router for your home. This router provides fast speed wi-fi with far-reaching coverage with its 6x external antennas with Beamforming. It’s supposed to also help with lag-free gaming and works with any Internet provider. It also has the ability to work with Amazon Alexa! We are very happy with this new router for our home. We have seamless wi-fi even when all our devices are connected!

Great WiFi hesitant on security
As far as speeding up WiFi whose device is great. It also features parental controls blocking malicious sites and inappropriate websites and time control. My biggest concern after researching is the concern security vulnerability

Easy to set up, excellent range, fast speed, highly recommended
I wasn’t getting good WiFi signal in my house with the old mesh router WiFi (despite multiple extenders). Tried this new router. Instructions were simple and relatively straightforward. Set wasn’t that complicated (considering I used 3-4 routers over my life) and most of my rooms in my house are getting pretty good reception even without WiFi extenders. Works well with my cable modem. Would highly recommend this router.

TP-Link Archer BE6500 Dual-Band Mesh Wi-Fi 7 Router: Gigabit
I live in the city and have a multi-level home and have been wanting better WI-FI coverage in my home. I just installed this last night to my network and this router is amazing! I have coverage in areas where I did not in my home and also it is faster internet speeds than I had before. I would recommend this router and wished I would have had it sooner. The kids are happy that they now have coverage in their bedrooms with wifi now.
