TP-Link Archer BE550 BE9300 tri-band WiFi 7 wireless router

Tri-Band WiFi 7 Router

The Archer BE550 is a new tri-band wireless router built on Wi-Fi 7 with a combined wireless data rate of up to 9214 Mbps across 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz and 6 GHz bands. It provides one 2.5 Gbps WAN port and four 2.5 Gbps LAN ports for full multi-gigabit wired connectivity. Six internal antennas with beamforming and a USB 3.0 interface complete the package.

Home users needing 6 GHz spectrum

Households upgrading to Wi-Fi 7 devices will benefit from 320 MHz channels, 4K-QAM and Multi-Link Operation on the 6 GHz band at 5760 Mbps. EasyMesh expansion allows seamless whole-home coverage up to 2000 sq. ft. Buyers whose clients only support Wi-Fi 6 or who require a separate modem should look at other solutions.

6 GHz band throughput of 5760 Mbps

The 6 GHz radio delivers 5760 Mbps using 802.11be with 320 MHz channel width, which is the single specification that determines whether the router can serve high-density 8K streaming, VR or AR workloads without congestion. If the environment has no 6 GHz-capable endpoints, that headroom goes unused.
