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.

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

If you can swing a BE550 either new or used it would last quite a while. It has 2.5 gbps lan everywhere so if you want a NAS or anything that needs faster connections hard wired you have it. It can also do Vlans so you can separate out IoT devices, Guest, Work, or whatever you want.

The RE550BE - it's the designated range extender for your setup. It is a tri-band extender, matching your Archer BE550's abilities. You could also get a second BE550 and that gives you more ports - you just set the second BE550 to "Satellite Mode" via the Tether app. Of course, running ethernet betw

Great! now send it back for replacement. At the very least, the ethernet port should be working. I had a BE550 for a year or so and it worked fine. I upgraded to a BE805 which work better. The BE805 similar to your GE800 and is MediaTek based so runs VPN especially well. The only downside is no 2.5G

Yeah, that's kinda what I was thinking. If nothing else, the BE550's faster processor would be a nice-to-have kind of thing, along with the additional 2.5gbps LAN ports. I don't have internet access near that close but it would speed up internal transfers within my home network - once I upgrade my L

Because I have two BE550, both of which have been RMA'd and have been confirmed working on my LAN just fine with no drops on any port including the WAN port.

If you don't have the infrastructure to even saturate 1 Gig... don't upgrade.. especially if youre relying on the modem to be your router as well (router portion isn't high peformance) I have a bridged Cogeco modem/router connected to a TP-Link BE550 via the Sagemcoms 2.5 Gig port. I've gotten full
