Our Verdict
TP-Link Archer BE400
eero 7
The TP-Link Archer BE400 and the eero 7 are dual-band Wi-Fi 7 routers. The TP-Link is a standalone router that can be expanded into a mesh network with compatible EasyMesh routers and access points, while the eero is a dedicated mesh router that's sold in multi-packs. The TP-Link is faster and delivers better range than the eero, despite testing the latter in a mesh configuration. The TP-Link also has more wired networking ports than the eero.
