I bought the TP-Link Tri-Band BE19000 WiFi 7 Router (Archer BE800) and it was nothing but issues. Signal strength was poor even when the device was in question was one room over. Anything past that often got disconnected. The reviews said it was a problem, but I figured it was people who didn't know how to set it up. It was a waste of $500. Only reason why I upgraded was because I was now getting 2Gbps down and 400Gbps Up and wanted to get utilize it Wifi 6E.

Tried almost everything before giving up and cutting my losses. This was less than a month ago, firmware could have fixed the problem but I wasn't going to wait. Went back the Netgear Nighthawk and haven't had an issue since. Funny thing I had nighthawk wifi 6 router before and thought they are too expensive and others could do the same thing. It was a pricey mistake on my end. Look at the negative reviews because its mentioning the same problems I went through. My place is less than 1000 sq ft.

This and other routers from TP-Link are on sale. I want it but I am weary about the ban

I remember all those great Huawei "MateBook" laptop deals right before Huawei was banned. How great do you think firmware support will be on TP Link routers if the US govt bans them (ie, places TP Link on the US Entity List)?

I love that people are more worried about how a ban would effect updates and not concerned about why the ban may happen in the first place. Also, considering the immediate reversal of TikTok, I doubt there will be a ban. But that doesn't mean that there won't still be a potential threat.
Because the ban is mostly hyperbole.

The reality is none of these devices are any less secure than other consumer grade hardware, but they're easier to target politically because of xenophobia.

I mainly recommend Asus routers for their third party firmware support, but guess what? They still have CVEs to patch every so often.

The ones you really have to watch out for are companies like Netgear. USA founded, made overseas, and very neglectful of firmware updates even when there is a CVE out in the open. Yet, no ban on them because of that one minute difference.

Yes, I guess worst case scenario if there were potentially a war with China they could force TP-Link to brick their routers causing widespread outrages. I love TP-Link gear, but I'd be hesitant to order their equipment now unless it could run open-wrt, which I don't see any support for this (yet).

Banning these routers from sale is not the same thing as the blacklist imposed on Huawei.

Huawei phones could no longer work on US carriers, rendering them useless.

The worst these routers are going to see is a lack of firmware updates, which TP-Link isn't reliable on to begin with and third party firmware developers can easily pick up the slack on.

People have been waiting for OpenWRT to be on these routers even before the ban was suggested, so it's mostly an empty threat.

They aren't going to force them to do anything of the such. Stop with the fear mongering.

TP-Link hardly puts out updates as it is, so they're not about to put out an update that would render their products useless in other regions if used maliciously.

Quote from Ponder :
Which routers would you suggest? Netgear has a history of failing early. Asus wifi 7 routers tend to be poorly review and expensive. 200 dollars for this router to kick it down the road might be a bargain. Basically a bad time to buy a router unless it is required. The market in general is pretty bad. I do consider it risky, but if you are willing to replace early then it might save money if one times it right.

6e routers which are reliable tend to be higher priced than this router. ASUS ROG Rapture GT-AX11000 Pro is what 279.00
ASUS has a stellar reputation, and they're Taiwanese, not Chinese. I'm still using my older AC1900, which has been rock solid and I've recently upgraded (but haven't yet installed) an ASUS AX5700. Honestly, I wouldn't use a TP-Link if somebody gave it to me for free.

Fake review? This isn't a modem.

I have the Mesh tri-band TPlink AXE5400 6E mesh system (3 pack) i just picked up ($300) but i could possibly return it for this - would this work well in a 3000+ square foot house if placed in center of house? The one I picked up seems to be fine but only getting like 600-700mbps when I have gigabit internet.

It may not be the same thing, but that's how Chinese companies linked to national security threats start. You're being foolish if you really think TP-Link doesn't have a good chance of being on the US Entity List. I suppose that the CIA and NSA, as well as foreign intelligence agencies (Five Eyes) have a lot more info on TP-Link and its complicity in the Salt-Typhoon disaster. That said, idk about trusting my security to OpenWrt. Some of you act like open source, with unpaid volunteers is always better, and that's not the case. See below, for a very recent critical vulnerability in which OpenWrt "used an incredibly weak hash:"

Critical OpenWrt Bug: Update Your Gear!
by Richi Jennings on December 10, 2024

Open source router firmware project fixes dusty old  code.
The OpenWrt project had to scramble to fix a critical vulnerability last week: The built-in firmware updater could be persuaded to install malicious code. But now it's all fixed, the team can talk about it.

A Japanese researcher discovered OpenWrt used an incredibly weak hash; it also failed to sanitize inputs. In today's SB  Blogwatch, we make code not war.

One thing to note on the product page: Get 20% back on amount charged to a Prime Visa card.

If you have the Prime card, then you should get $40 back. That makes this router $160.
where do u see that?

Hard to say. You might/should get faster speeds if you're near the router, but farther from the router a mesh system might be faster. You'd just have to try it and test.

Having a Japanese researcher to look at it and successfully finding problems means OpenWrt is better. As of commerical products, there is NO researchers to even look at it or to report problems, but that doesn't mean their products are safe.

Okay, if having an "incredibly weak hash" is the type of critical vulnerability that you classify as "better" than the proprietary competition, then by all means load up on free open source OpenWrt firmware.
