It has four 2.5Gbps LAN ports, one 1Gbps LAN port, and three 10Gbps ports, one of which is SFP+. You can configure it using TP-Link's Tether app or through a web interface, and it's compatible with EasyMesh, allowing you to add compatible routers or extenders to create a mesh network. It has an LED matrix on the front that can display the time, weather, and emojis. Additionally, it has a small touchscreen that can show your network's status and other settings.

Note: We've removed the Wi-Fi coverage tests and are exploring better ways to convey the results, which will be more helpful to users.

Our Verdict

8.8
Apartment/Condo 

The TP-Link Archer BE24000 is an excellent router for apartments and smaller homes. It delivers amazing top speeds at close range, making it suitable for high-bandwidth uses like downloading huge files or keeping up with a household of users streaming 4k video, especially if your devices are Wi-Fi 7 capable. It has outstanding wired connectivity with multiple 2.5 and 10Gbps ports, so it's suitable if you have a multi-gigabit internet connection. It's fairly big, however, so it could be difficult to find a suitable place to put it.

Pros
  • Many multi-gigabit Ethernet ports.

  • Fantastic top speeds.

  • Impressive range.

Cons
  • Physically large.

8.4
Multi-Level House 

The TP-Link BE900 is a great router if you live in a large home. It delivers outstanding top speeds and has great range, making it suitable for a family of heavy internet users. It's a standalone router, so your speeds drop the further away you are from it. It's EasyMesh compatible, so you can easily create a mesh network with multiple access points as long as they're also compatible. It features several Ethernet ports capable of multi-gigabit speeds, so you can take full advantage of a multi-gigabit internet connection.

    Differences Between Sizes And Variants

    Popular Router Comparisons

    The TP-Link Archer BE900, also known as the TP-Link Archer BE24000, is a quad-band Wi-Fi 7 router. It's at the top of TP-Link's Archer lineup of Wi-Fi routers, like the TP-Link Archer BE700 and the TP-Link Archer BE550, and offers more bells and whistles, including tons of multi-gigabit networking ports, a front touchscreen, and LEDs that can show the current weather and emoji symbols.

    While the BE900 delivers absolutely fantastic speed and range performance, it's not so much better than the aforementioned cheaper models in the Archer lineup as to justify the steep price tag. You're better off with one of those options unless you need the multiple 10Gbps Ethernet ports.

    TP-Link Archer BE550

    The TP-Link Archer BE900 is better than the TP-Link Archer BE550. The latter is a tri-band Wi-Fi 7 router with a 2.4GHz, 5GHz, and 6GHz band, while the former is a quad-band Wi-Fi 7 router with two 5GHz bands. The BE900 delivers higher top speeds, a longer range, and support for 10Gbps wired networking.

    TP-Link Archer BE700

    The TP-Link Archer BE900 is better than the TP-Link Archer BE700. The former is a quad-band Wi-Fi 7 router with a 2.4GHz band, two 5GHz bands, and a 6GHz band, while the latter has one fewer 5GHz band. The BE900 offers improved range and top speeds compared to the BE700, and features enhanced wired networking with more 2.5Gbps ports, as well as a 10Gbps SFP+ port.

    ASUS ROG Rapture GT-BE98 Pro

    The TP-Link Archer BE900 and the ASUS ROG Rapture GT-BE98 Pro are quad-band Wi-Fi 7 routers. While the TP-Link has two 5GHz bands in addition to a 2.4GHz and a 6GHz band, the ASUS has two 6GHz bands. Both routers deliver similar incredible top speeds at close range, but the TP-Link has a longer range overall. The ASUS is also significantly larger and harder to fit into your home.

    eero Max 7

    The TP-Link BE900 and the eero Max 7 are Wi-Fi 7 routers. The eero is a tri-band router designed to be used in a mesh system, while the TP-Link is a quad-band standalone router. The eero delivers higher top speeds and better range than the TP-Link when the former is used in a dual mesh configuration. That said, the TP-Link has better wired networking with more Ethernet ports, and a more configurable software experience with more features than the eero.
