  • Wi-Fi 7 with MLO and 4K-QAM delivers 120% more data capacity
  • Up to 3.6 Gbps total speed across dual bands for streaming and gaming
  • Dual 2.5 Gbps ports break the 1 Gbps bottleneck for wired devices
  • Four external antennas with beamforming extend strong coverage to hard-to-reach areas
  • EasyMesh and HomeShield create a seamless mesh network with built-in security

Dual-Band Wi-Fi 7 Router

The Archer BE230 delivers Wi-Fi 7 performance with 4-stream connectivity and total speeds up to 3.6 Gbps. A 2.0 GHz quad-core processor handles high throughput while minimising latency during heavy traffic. Four external antennas with beamforming target devices for reliable coverage throughout the home.

Wired Ports and Security Suite

Dual 2.5 Gbps WAN and LAN ports break the 1 Gbps bottleneck for faster wired connections. Three additional 1 Gbps ports plus USB 3.0 expand local connectivity options. HomeShield provides network protection, parental controls and real-time IoT security, while VPN client and server support secures remote access.

Ideal for Gigabit+ Households

This router suits homes with multi-gigabit internet plans wanting Wi-Fi 7 features such as MLO and 4K-QAM. EasyMesh compatibility allows seamless whole-home expansion with supported devices. Buyers needing 6 GHz band support or more than two 2.5 Gbps ports should consider alternative models.

Questions about this item

Will the four external antennas ever need replacement?

The four external antennas are fixed and designed for the life of the router; no user-replaceable antenna parts are specified.

What limits the 2882 Mbps 5 GHz link during heavy continuous traffic?

The 2.0 GHz quad-core processor manages throughput and latency, so sustained heavy loads are constrained by its processing capacity.

How much heat and noise does the 2.0 GHz quad-core processor generate during continuous operation?

The router uses passive cooling with no fan, so it runs silently; heat output scales with the 3.6 Gbps total throughput being processed.
