Description

TP-Link Archer BE400 BE6500 Wi-Fi 7 Router for Faster Home Networking

The TP-Link Archer BE400 brings Wi-Fi 7 performance to home networks with up to 6.5 Gbps of combined dual-band wireless capacity, multi-gigabit Ethernet and modern technologies designed to handle demanding connected households.

It is particularly useful when upgrading beyond a standard Gigabit router. A 2.5 Gbps WAN port can accept faster internet connections, while the dedicated 2.5 Gbps LAN port gives a compatible PC, NAS, switch or other wired device access beyond the usual 1 Gbps Ethernet limit.

Is This Right for You?

• Choose the Archer BE400 if you want to upgrade to Wi-Fi 7 without needing a tri-band 6 GHz router.
• It suits faster fibre connections, streaming, gaming, large downloads, home working and homes with multiple connected devices.
• It can operate in Router Mode or Access Point Mode, making it useful either as your main router or as an upgrade to an existing network.
• EasyMesh support is useful if a single router cannot adequately cover your property and you want to expand coverage with compatible EasyMesh equipment.
• If you specifically require a 6 GHz Wi-Fi band, choose a suitable tri-band Wi-Fi 7 router instead; the Archer BE400 operates on 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz.

Why Choose This Product?

• Wi-Fi 7 performance: BE6500 wireless capacity provides up to 5764 Mbps on 5 GHz and 688 Mbps on 2.4 GHz for compatible devices.
• Multi-Link Operation: Compatible Wi-Fi 7 clients can communicate across the 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz bands simultaneously, helping improve throughput, latency and connection reliability.
• Multi-gigabit wired networking: The 2.5 Gbps WAN and 2.5 Gbps LAN ports avoid limiting suitable internet services or wired devices to standard Gigabit Ethernet.
• Flexible wired connections: Three additional Gigabit LAN ports provide connections for TVs, desktop computers, network switches and other Ethernet devices.
• Expandable coverage: EasyMesh compatibility lets you add compatible routers or range extenders rather than replacing the entire network when additional Wi-Fi coverage is needed.
• Network storage support: A USB 3.0 port can connect compatible external storage for FTP, media-server and Samba file-sharing functions.
• Modern network security: WPA3 support, guest networking and TP-Link HomeShield provide useful security and network-management options.

Before You Buy

• The Archer BE400 is a dual-band router using the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands; it does not provide a 6 GHz Wi-Fi band.
• Wi-Fi 7 features such as MLO, 4K-QAM and Multi-RUs require compatible client devices to receive their associated benefits.
• To benefit from internet speeds above 1 Gbps, your internet service, upstream equipment, cabling and connected devices must also support the required speed.
• A compatible fibre ONT, cable/DSL modem or other internet connection equipment may still be required. The Archer BE400 does not replace equipment required to terminate your service provider’s connection.
• TP-Link HomeShield includes both standard and advanced services; some advanced HomeShield functions require a paid subscription.
• Actual wireless speeds and coverage depend on client capabilities, building construction, interference, network traffic and other environmental conditions.
