Meshing together Deco units and Archer router

You can't mesh them together, as they're not compatible. Even if you give the WiFi networks the same name, these will still be two different WiFi networks, and you won't be able to seamlessly roam between them. There is no actual reason to keep your BE550 as one of the Decos can be your main router.

BE550 USB speed

for me i get 81MB up and 122MB down from that drive over ftp to the be550 usb 3 port one transfer at a time. in my pc the external hdd goes at 122MB max. so for some reason this router maxes out SMB or samba windows file transfers at around 6MB which is well below the max you would see from usb 2 wh

Wi-Fi 7 MLO behavior: Pixel vs S24 Ultra on Archer BE550

I'm just gonna throw out there that true MLO is not supported at all with current vendors. Some people have called it "load balancing" but that's not even correct either; it's more like three people waiting for their turn standing side-by-side to throw a ball at the same target. It's arguably even w

Trouble with new BE550

Yup, similar issue with my BE550. Smart Connect isn't as smart as it should be! :D When I previously had Smart Connect enabled, my Pixel 9 when at long distance, would not drop down from 6GHz or 5Ghz to 2.4GHz automatically. Tether app would indicate that my Pixel 9 had a weak signal on 6Ghz or 5GHz

Reyee/Ruijie router - does anyone know how to set it up for PIA?

Thank you. I have several TP-Link travel routers that are great, so I was giddy to try the Archer BE550.I'm ending up with half the speed of the Rayee E5, and it disconnects me too often.

Should I use the TP-Link BE550 or Unifi Express 7 as my primary router?

honestly go with the UniFi Express 7. brick walls kill consumer routers, but unifi handles interference better and the express 7 has enough cpu for 20+ devices with gaming traffic. tplink be550 is fine for simpler setups but unifi's qos and device management are way better when your mom's netflix wa

BE550 6G not being discovered?

Amigo tenho um BE550. Para mim se trata de um belo bug do firmware. A única forma que eu consegui enxergar com o meu Motorola Edge 30 Ultra a Banda 6 Ghz foi limitando no Roteador para utilizar apenas rede 2.4/6Ghz na configuração do MLO. Dessa forma, o roteador sumprime a banda 5ghz da utilização d

MLO vs pure 6GHz - Which is faster with BE550 and Wifi 6E and 7 devices

With MLO enabled on my BE550 mesh, I can only connect to main router node (testing with iPhone 17 Pro) while sitting by satellite node. Main network is roaming fine, but MLO does not roam. Support has confirmed me that it’s known “feature”. Anyone has better experience with MLO across mesh? To me it

“Regular” Network vs MLO?

with MLO enabled, are you able to roam within mesh and get connected to any mesh node? I was told by tplink support guy today that BE550 and BE63 both support MLO only off main node. Which is a showstopper for me in large house single node can not reliably cover the area.
