Review: Impressive signal strength - I had been using a BE220 but needed an extender for the farther reaches of the house. I struggled to find one that was decent that did not cost as much as the router itself so instead decided to buy a BE230 and use my BE220 as the extender. I was surprised to find that the BE230 is larger than the BE220 and has a lot more ventilation holes (I had assumed it was just a revised version but maybe its a better model?) It turns out the BE230 has a stronger signal and the device that was struggling most in the area that had the weakest -80db wifi signal in the garage now has a perfectly acceptable -68db which comesx back as 'Good' so I don't even need an extender or to set the BE220 up as the extender meaning I can sell that on. Set up of this was supersimple using the excellent Tether app and I could simply rename my network to the same as it was before (which is an old BT network name) and I only needed to reconnect a couple of the 33 devices that use wifi. Very happy with this BE230 and it has proved extremely stable with good speed and has not missed a beat so far. Great vale and a very very easy 5 stars from me.
Review: Solid product - Set up is quite straightforward and simple. You can easily bind it to your own device. Signal strength is quite high so far. Will update this review later once usage is higher

### ⭐ *2.4GHz Faulty Router | BE230 router - KNOWN ISSUE, BE AWARE!**
*by E***. on 15 April 2025*

TP-Link Archer BE230 Router WiFi 7 BE3600Mbps I loved the features of this router. Was affordable and packed with features, but sadly has a bug that hasn't been fixed for years of TP link router history. I bought this router to upgrade my current one, but after a few days, the 2.4GHz Wi-Fi stopped working. At first, I thought it was just a faulty unit, so I requested a replacement. However, the replacement also had the same issue—2.4GHz Wi-Fi disappears, but the 5GHz works fine. A quick search on Google reveals this is a common issue with TP-Link routers. It seems to be a widespread problem that's been affecting their routers for years. There are countless posts on forums, Reddit, and other online sources about it. I’ve tried everything—resetting the router, adjusting the channels, updating firmware—but nothing fixes it. The issue persists across TP-Link's models, as many users have shared similar experiences over the years.
