Archer BE550

If you only use their router, don't bother going more than a gig. The ~600 Mbps on WiFi, you'll always see even if you got the 2 gig or even 1.5 gig. I do have Cogecos Sagemcom modem with its 2.5 gig port... it is bridged (Sagemcom basically acting as a classic modem) to a TP-LINK BE550 it has all 2

I've got the BE550, no issues with it whatsoever. Currently running it with Nufibre and on 2.3Gbps symmetrical. Ethernet speed tests max that out without a hitch and WiFi 7 can hit around 1.5Gbps down, 2Gbps up. Running a NAS off of one port, a dedicated torrent PC off of another and a home mesh kit

Just yet another BE550. Thats what I did. Easymesh with wired backhaul. It worked like a charm.

oh just 34MB this was my post btw Be550 USB 3 HDD smb slow while ftp is fast over ethernet : r/TpLink

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

Not a long term review, but I replaced a TP BE550 with the RT-BE92U two weeks ago. I installed Merlin right away because I had a good experience with it on AX86U. I had issues with the WAN port auto-negotiated the port speed every hour which led to frequent drops (Telus Fiber ONT 10G port > BE92U 2.

First I only used the BE550 and it wasn't enough to reach all the places I wanted so I bought a BE230 and connected as easymesh satellite (wired) and have 0 problems.i also use the ethernet ports on it for gaming pc and it handles the WiFi on second floor. Found a good deal for the be230 for 65 buck

After the disaster i faced with fw1.2.2 and the constant speed instability on file copies through mesh (nas to pc) with fw1.2.3 i have reverted back to 1.2.1, unplugged everything from lan 1 on both routers as it caused periodic connection loss, moved mesh backhaul to lan 2 as lan 4 was lagging (not

what version and firmware is your be550? For v1.x routers many firmwares caused lan port problems (1.1.2, 1.1.3, 1.2.2 and some reports for 1.2.3) what status do you see for lan1 in your router’s interface when a device is connected? Also do check if link aggregation under lan settings is disabled a

Doesn't tplink have its own format you could try? I don't know about what macos can do. I should warn you though, while I don't have your model, I can tell you that my be550 v2 only writes at 6-7MB / 50mb to the USB 3 over samba while with ftp it's a ton faster. So I dunno if yours will be faster or
