ARRIS SURFboard G54 vs TP-Link Archer BE550

The ARRIS SURFboard G54 is a quad-band modem/router combo, while the TP-Link Archer BE550 is a standalone tri-band router. The ARRIS's 10Gbps WAN port offers higher theoretical speeds than the TP-Link's 2.5Gbps, while the Archer boasts superior wired connectivity with 2.5Gbps Ethernet ports vs. the SURFboard's 1Gbps limit. The BE550 supports EasyMesh to expand your network coverage, while the G54 lacks mesh support entirely. Ultimately, both devices shine in their respective use cases: The TP-Link as an excellent standalone router, and the ARRIS as a two-in-one device with impressive Wi-Fi 7 chops.
