Review: Incredible Mesh Router at Excellent Price - If you are looking for a cost-effective router that will put you ahead of the technology time-line, this is it. I was a LinkSys/Cisco fan and I bought this router to replace a pretty decent LinkSys WRT 3200 ACM. The LinkSys acquired some deficiency in the past year of "half-connecting" to just one device, while perfectly connecting to every other device on its 2.4gz and 5.0gz bands. (Half-connecting allowed some, but not all URLs to load). I recently had replaced a LinkSys extender with a TPLink extender because it could not maintain a persistent connection with the LinkSys (another hint the router was going out) and was pleased with its ability to retain its connection... though it seemed I was frequently fighting over channels with my neighbors which was very annoying, having to change them every other week. After researching the market (I looked at Eero, too), I decided this was the one that was budget friendly and buying a more expensive model was not warranted as I'm not a gamer or an extreme streamer - I have 1gz service from Spectrum anyway. I did look for a router that supported USB as I have a couple of USB drives (12gb) for "cloud" storage of my files. This router comes with "Easy Mesh" which I did not pay that much attention to, since the new TpLink extender was doing a nice job (Yes, the two extra SSIDs were a little annoying when connecting devices, but I was OK with that). Setup was pretty easy, though I did want to get into the configuration to set fixed IP addresses for wired and non-wired devices in my home. All that worked perfectly fine. The only irritation I had was LinkSys uses the Gateway of 192.168.1.1 and TpLink chose 192.168.0.1. So all my fixed IP address devices had to be reconfigured (I have a WD Cloud and Canon and Samsung printers)... all of which were time-consuming to figure out how to get them reconnected to the BE9300. Then came the big surprise! I went into the setup on the TPLink "extender" and the BE9300 recognized it and "hijacked" it! The extender is no longer an extender (though it can be configured as one), but it turned out to be a mesh access point. All of a sudden, the 2.4gz and 5.0gz networks on the extender (TPLink RE550) were greyed-out! The BE9300 turned it into a mesh access point! Being a little skeptical, I cranked up m favorite WiFi phone app (WiFi Overview) and walked thru the house (3600sf). This app displays a graphical indication of signal strength in a parabola display of all SSIDs nearby. Since the extender was now a mesh access point, I only had TWO SSIDS (one for 2.4 and one for 5.0) and of course, two "sub" SSIDs. As I walked further away from the BE9300, I could see the signal strength of the mesh unit growing larger and larger. Like any mesh network, it apparently switched to the mesh access point seamlessly on my phone... as advertised without any degradation of visual download speed.. Additionally, a lot of reviews on this product indicated they were seeing increases in download speed, so I did quite a few speed tests with several different test sites. Since my Spectrum 1gz service is still copper, I knew I'd never see 1gz speed, but the top speed with the LinkSys on and off the wire was about 910gz-920gz... not quite a 10% "loss", but still respectable. With the BE9300, I am consistently seeing over 950gz, so yes, I'll agree there is a slight increase in download speed. Another plus here is the BE9300 is Wifi 7 enabled. Yes, currently, the only WiFi device is the iPhone 17 pro, but again, its nice to be ahead of the technology curve rather than be current or behind it. In summary, I have to admit, the BE9300 exceeded my expectations, as I was not really in the market for a mesh system, but almost, by accident, I have one (I glossed over the "Easy Mesh" part of the BE9300). Combined with the slight increase in speed and the WiFi 7 capability already being there, I highly recommend this guy if you want to stay in the $200 range (vs. $400 range) when looking at a new or replacement router. And I got this during desertcart's fall "sale" and it happened to have a $20 coupon from TpLink which made it a very nice deal.
Review: I don't know what's up with the subpar ratings, but read this review, you need it - I'm a 37 year old computer scientist that has breathed computers, internet, and all its assorted devices his whole life. TP-Link is a standout router company right now, probably due to relative under-performance in the medium term. But their current Wifi 7 routers are unmatched; it's not even a debate. This is the best router you can get for the money right now, and with Wifi 7 bringing the MLO network, your wifi will have never been better (once you have devices that also support it, with the most important one being your smartphone (Samsung's newest as of writing already has Wifi 7 support, with iPhone 16 pro rumored to be getting it. If you have both of these, you need to turn on the MLO network setting in your router. It is absolutely worth paying for to have it done if you don't have the slightest clue how). The app is also very easy and very pleasant to use, with a modern UX that today's consumer demands. It can also help you set up your router, including said MLO network. Don't forget to enable EasyMesh, too, if applicable. And speaking of EasyMesh - do you need a new router? If that's the question you have for yourself, I'd say that if it's not Wifi 7 (and it almost definitely isn't, or you wouldn't be here) at the very least, then you do. But there's another metric with a lower bar: go into your router settings and update its firmware right now. If it doesn't support EasyMesh after that firmware update, yeah, you should upgrade. EasyMesh is the Wifi Alliance's new standard Mesh system that will support a mesh network not just between different models of routers, but different companies. That's huge. This, along with the MLO network, means that these modern routers are a very large step-change in technology, quite possibly the largest since 5Ghz and the advent of WPA2 encryption, and these were ages ago. Bonus MLO network section: Why is the MLO network a big deal for your smartphone? At a glance, it seems to just combine all the bands (2.4, 5, and 6Ghz) into one. So that just means higher throughput, right? Isn't 5Ghz enough even for HDR 4k video on Netflix? Yes, it is. But while greater throughput is nice, think about it for a second. Right now, any Wifi network you connect to (meaning a singular named SSID) only supports one band. So if you're connected to 5Ghz, and then you go outside into your backyard, you have to depend on your phone to be smart enough to switch to the 2.4Ghz to maintain a connection (since higher Ghz don't travel as far). This often fails. What's worse, even if it does switch, the phone often never sees the use in switching BACK to 5Ghz when you go back in the house, so you will be connected to the slower band potentially indefinitely, unless you go change the Wifi you're connected to manually. And you'd have to do this every. single. time. Why even have all these nice bands with specific purposes if it's so annoying to use? Well, here comes the MLO network to save the day. If all the bands can simply always be active on just one Wifi network, there's never a choice to make in the first place: not for you, NOR your phone. You're just always using all them. That means when you go into your backyard, your phone will simply be unable to use 5Ghz only because it's too far away, but the MLO will still be sending packets on 2.4Ghz. And when you go back inside, there doesn't need to be any intelligent decision by you nor the phone, since it's still on the same network, and once you're back in physical range, the 5Ghz will just start sending again right away. No user input needed, and no stupid algorithms making bad choices. And, it works with 6ghz too, of course. All 3 bands at the same time, on the same SSID. Do you see what I'm getting at now? It's a huge step forward for both performance AND ease of use. Wifi 7's MLO network, along with the Wifi Alliance's EasyMesh standard will usher in a new era of Home Wifi performance, reliability and user experience, with the long-term goal of single band Wifi SSID's disappearing completely and MLO network SSID's being the norm. But don't get too excited - devices have to support Wifi 7 to see the MLO network. So for now, your phone will be one of the only devices to use it. But honestly, that's good enough for now - the tech is that transformative. But one day, your toaster, fridge and Hue lighting system will simply connect to the one MLO network that exists, and no other single-band Wifi's will even be on, because they will no longer have a use outside of legacy devices that some people just can't live without.

### ⭐ MLO does not work in mesh (makes tri-band useless)
*by R***S on January 5, 2026*

This is very close to scam model features advertisement. Reason i bought these routers is that my older mesh setup from same vendor (3x Deco M9 and 2x Deco M5 nodes) stopped working two months ago after firmware update - they broke DHCP for Guest network where i keep 50 IOT devices isolated from main network. Which was already a firm suggestion to not use this brand any more. Why I decided to give them a try again, I don’t know.. OK I received two BE550 today and spent entire morning to bind them in mesh (kinda glitchy process, had to reset them multiple times and login to local web UI, of course I updated FW to latest). Neither web UI nor Tether iphone app show backend eth links speed, but at least 1G eth should work for my test (i think it’s less than 100ft of Cat5e cable and worked well earlier) as my Comcast uplink is only 600Mbits, far from extreme requirements right? So again, my setup is wired backend between wifi nodes, and I need full speed of all 3 bands combined with dynamic allocation - wherever I go in my house, I want the top speed from these best customer level WiFi 7 devices! And here we start to struggle with TP-Link: 1) main wifi network can only combine 2.4 + 5Ghz, 6Ghz is separate band. Its basically old 802.1ac where your devices switch between old slow 2.4 and faster but not stable 5 bands. 2) MLO (multi link operation) - which is essential for tri-band - can only be enabled as separate wifi network (SSID) and(!) only combine 5 + 6 GHz, meaning that you always have to be pretty close to routers. 3) MLO (surprise!) appears to be working only off main node, and latest firmware does not support it for mesh satellite nodes. This is official and clear statement from their support line today!! Moreover they told me BE63 model (specialised mesh model) also has this problem! To make it clear for you - new 6GHz band alone makes zero sense if you stick to it, unless you live in studio apartment and router is in the middle. And only way to use third band in BE550 is dedicated 6GHz SSID. Meaning that either you need 8 nodes across the house, or you will have poor reception all the time going from couch to kitchen. I’m going to return these and try Asus tri-band Wifi 7. TP links are just too basic for the price, and I don’t want to rely on it any more.
