Review: Incredible Mesh Router at Excellent Price - If you are looking for a cost-effective router that will put you ahead of the technology time-line, this is it. I was a LinkSys/Cisco fan and I bought this router to replace a pretty decent LinkSys WRT 3200 ACM. The LinkSys acquired some deficiency in the past year of "half-connecting" to just one device, while perfectly connecting to every other device on its 2.4gz and 5.0gz bands. (Half-connecting allowed some, but not all URLs to load). I recently had replaced a LinkSys extender with a TPLink extender because it could not maintain a persistent connection with the LinkSys (another hint the router was going out) and was pleased with its ability to retain its connection... though it seemed I was frequently fighting over channels with my neighbors which was very annoying, having to change them every other week. After researching the market (I looked at Eero, too), I decided this was the one that was budget friendly and buying a more expensive model was not warranted as I'm not a gamer or an extreme streamer - I have 1gz service from Spectrum anyway. I did look for a router that supported USB as I have a couple of USB drives (12gb) for "cloud" storage of my files. This router comes with "Easy Mesh" which I did not pay that much attention to, since the new TpLink extender was doing a nice job (Yes, the two extra SSIDs were a little annoying when connecting devices, but I was OK with that). Setup was pretty easy, though I did want to get into the configuration to set fixed IP addresses for wired and non-wired devices in my home. All that worked perfectly fine. The only irritation I had was LinkSys uses the Gateway of 192.168.1.1 and TpLink chose 192.168.0.1. So all my fixed IP address devices had to be reconfigured (I have a WD Cloud and Canon and Samsung printers)... all of which were time-consuming to figure out how to get them reconnected to the BE9300. Then came the big surprise! I went into the setup on the TPLink "extender" and the BE9300 recognized it and "hijacked" it! The extender is no longer an extender (though it can be configured as one), but it turned out to be a mesh access point. All of a sudden, the 2.4gz and 5.0gz networks on the extender (TPLink RE550) were greyed-out! The BE9300 turned it into a mesh access point! Being a little skeptical, I cranked up m favorite WiFi phone app (WiFi Overview) and walked thru the house (3600sf). This app displays a graphical indication of signal strength in a parabola display of all SSIDs nearby. Since the extender was now a mesh access point, I only had TWO SSIDS (one for 2.4 and one for 5.0) and of course, two "sub" SSIDs. As I walked further away from the BE9300, I could see the signal strength of the mesh unit growing larger and larger. Like any mesh network, it apparently switched to the mesh access point seamlessly on my phone... as advertised without any degradation of visual download speed.. Additionally, a lot of reviews on this product indicated they were seeing increases in download speed, so I did quite a few speed tests with several different test sites. Since my Spectrum 1gz service is still copper, I knew I'd never see 1gz speed, but the top speed with the LinkSys on and off the wire was about 910gz-920gz... not quite a 10% "loss", but still respectable. With the BE9300, I am consistently seeing over 950gz, so yes, I'll agree there is a slight increase in download speed. Another plus here is the BE9300 is Wifi 7 enabled. Yes, currently, the only WiFi device is the iPhone 17 pro, but again, its nice to be ahead of the technology curve rather than be current or behind it. In summary, I have to admit, the BE9300 exceeded my expectations, as I was not really in the market for a mesh system, but almost, by accident, I have one (I glossed over the "Easy Mesh" part of the BE9300). Combined with the slight increase in speed and the WiFi 7 capability already being there, I highly recommend this guy if you want to stay in the $200 range (vs. $400 range) when looking at a new or replacement router. And I got this during desertcart's fall "sale" and it happened to have a $20 coupon from TpLink which made it a very nice deal.
Review: Blazing fast WIFI, Great coverage - TLDR: I bought this router about a month ago when my older one started to stutter. After some initial issues with firmware and a round or 2 with TPLink tech support I got everything ironed out and now I am very pleased with the performance. For more details, please read on. I'm a Network Engineer who works from home. Internet access is critical to my ability to do my job. So, when my older Netgear wireless router started to show signs of failure (random WIFI network loss of signal and reboots) that I could not fix with firmware updates, I started searching for a new router. The BE550 is a slightly less expensive version of TPLink's top end router. It lacks the extra LEDs on the front that allow for it to display the weather and a few other cute features, and it only has 4 LAN and 1 WAN(Internet) connections, all of which are 2.5G. there are no 10G ports on this router. Since I don't need to move that much data, it wasn't a deal breaker for me. Install was pretty easy, but I was also taking the opportunity to upgrade my Cable modem to a newer model and to install a 2.5G NIC in my home PC. After initial bootup and configuration of my home and guest networks, I ran speed tests that showed significant improvement in throughput. I have Gigabit service and improved my wired speeds from 690Mbps average to 1.1Gbps average on my home computer. The 2.5G ports are really doing there jobs and keeping the data moving without a bottleneck. Unfortunately, after about 24 hours, the new router became unstable. The wireless signal would cut out, and even wired connections would lose internet access intermittently. As I tested components I ruled out the Cable modem and the new NIC and started to focus on the router. Constant ping tests to google would randomly time out for 20-30 seconds and then return. At the same time the LAN side access into the router would be lost, which shouldn't happen if the loss of signal is on the Internet side. I opened a ticket with TPLink and was surprised by how quickly they responded. After some initial testing with a tech on the phone, the ticket was kicked to the next level of support and all subsequent support was via email. The techs asked for log files and information about my troubleshooting and the analyzed that for about a day. They then sent me a firmware update (which wasn't available via the firmware update process in the router) and asked me to apply it. Once that was done, the router stabilized and hasn't shown any issues for about 48 hours. Like: Design - more like a book than something from a Star Trek movie. WIFI Coverage: Even with internal antennas, I have very good coverage of my 2000 sq. ft. house and my backyard. WIFI Speed: Phones and tablets are easily pulling 8-900Mbps from anywhere in the house. WIRED Speeds: My desktop (with 2.5G NIC) is able to pull 1.2Gbps easily Don't Like: GUI: Maybe I'm just picky, but I think the GUI needs help. It isn't as intuitive as the Netgear router I replaced Price: This is an expensive piece of kit at $300+ Overkill for a lot of people, but there are limited 2.5G capable wifi routers on the market
