Description
TP-Link Archer BE230 BE3600 Wi-Fi 7 Router for Faster Wireless and Multi-Gigabit Networking
The TP-Link Archer BE230 brings Wi-Fi 7 technology to a practical dual-band home router, combining wireless rates up to 3570 Mbps with a 2.5 Gbps WAN port, 2.5 Gbps LAN port and three additional Gigabit LAN connections.
It is a strong choice for upgrading a fibre-connected home, connecting a fast PC or NAS, or building an EasyMesh network while retaining compatibility with devices using earlier Wi-Fi generations.
Is This Right for You?
- Suitable for homes and small offices upgrading from an older Wi-Fi 5 or Wi-Fi 6 router.
- A good match for internet connections above 1 Gbps thanks to its 2.5 Gbps WAN interface.
- Useful when you need a 2.5 Gbps wired connection for a compatible PC, NAS, switch or other network device.
- Suitable for expanding into an EasyMesh whole-home network with compatible EasyMesh equipment.
- If you specifically need the 6 GHz Wi-Fi band, choose a compatible tri-band Wi-Fi 7 router instead.
Why Choose This Product?
- Wi-Fi 7 performance: BE3600 wireless connectivity provides up to 2882 Mbps on 5 GHz and 688 Mbps on 2.4 GHz under supported conditions.
- Multi-Link Operation: Compatible Wi-Fi 7 clients can make use of multiple wireless links to improve speed, latency and connection reliability.
- Multi-gigabit wired networking: A dedicated 2.5 Gbps WAN port and 2.5 Gbps LAN port help avoid the 1 Gbps bottleneck when your internet service and connected equipment support higher speeds.
- Flexible wired connections: Three additional Gigabit LAN ports provide convenient connections for televisions, desktop computers, consoles and other Ethernet devices.
- Expandable whole-home Wi-Fi: EasyMesh compatibility lets you add compatible EasyMesh routers or range extenders where additional coverage is required.
- USB network storage: The USB 3.0 port supports compatible external storage for file, media and Samba server functions.
- Simplified management: Setup and everyday network management are supported through the TP-Link Tether app or web interface.
Before You Buy
- The Archer BE230 is a router rather than a fibre ONT, cellular modem or DSL modem. Connect it to your existing fibre ONT, modem or Ethernet internet service as applicable.
- An active internet service subscription is required for internet access.
- This is a dual-band Wi-Fi 7 router using the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands; there is no 6 GHz wireless band.
- Wi-Fi 7 features and maximum performance depend on compatible client devices, network conditions and your internet service.
- Internet speeds above 1 Gbps require a compatible service, cabling and equipment.
- EasyMesh functionality requires compatible EasyMesh equipment, and cross-vendor compatibility may depend on firmware support.
