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.

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

Nice and fast easy setup and loads of expert features to play with

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.

It's a relatively inexpensive WIFI 7 router. I can't tell how it handles WIFI 7, I don't have any compatable devices yet. I can tell you that the WIFI 6 broadcast range is rubbish. I bought a TP-Link Mesh WiFi 6 Booster (RE700X) at the same time as the router. The extender isn't happy 5m away, through an open door - it wants to be placed nearer the router. The TP-Link software is excellent.

Amazing router at this price. Replaced my ISP router as it kept dropping out and so far I have had no more issues with the WiFi. The WiFi range is also much better Vs my old one so very happy.

I have a large Victorian house, with lots of big rooms and plenty of solid brick walls, and the equipment supplied by my ISP was unable to provide WiFi throughout my property. The ISP persuaded me to upgrade to their top-of-the-line equipment, complete with three boosters. However, that was no better, possibly worse. So I purchased my own equipment and based my new mesh WiFi on this router. What a difference! This unit is very powerful and together with just two boosters provides excellent coverage throughout my home. It provides me with two great bonuses. One is that I now have detailed control and reporting that was impossible with the ISP supplied equipment. The other is that when I change ISPs I will only need to edit two lines in my admin dashboard and will never again have to reconnect my 31 networked devices!

Review is for BE3600 Dual-Band Wi-Fi 7 Router It is not a true Wifi 7 router as there is no 6ghz band. There is only 2.4 & 5ghz bands- hence the dual band name. (Proper Wifi 7 routers are all tri-band) I mainly bought this as it has 2 x 2.5 Gigabit ports (1 in, 1 out) which is useful as my PCs both have 2.5G LAN ports which makes networking between them much faster. 2nd reason I bought this was that the VirginMedia Superhub (5 I think) could not handle the number of smart home devices I have so connections would drop off the network often. This router has resolved that issue but occasionally the 2.4Ghz network will just disappear and I have to go in to the router settings and change the 2.4Ghz band (leaving it on auto does not help). Not sure why this happens as when using a Wifi scanner the traffic on the band does not seem to be the problem. It is easy to find and change settings as well as set up port forwarding etc. I have not had chance to try the USB for setting up a cloud server/NAS but in theory it sounds like a good feature I have a 1 Gigabit internet package and with the 2.5 Gigabit LAN ports I do get slightly faster speeds- my previous router maxed out at about 980Mbps while this one I get 1150Mbps so about 15% faster Overall quite happy with the router but only 2 stars as they should make it clear that this is not a true Wifi 7 router more of a 'Wifi 7 lite' router
