TP-Link Archer BE9500 vs ASUS TUF Gaming BE9400

The ASUS TUF Gaming BE9400 and the TP-Link Archer BE9500 are both standalone, tri-band Wi-Fi 7 routers that perform similarly across speed and range. The routers share a comparable footprint and feature screw head slots for wall mounting. The TP-Link is a better choice for high-speed fiber plans, with its 10Gbps WAN port and four additional LAN ports offering a markedly higher wired ceiling. While the TUF lacks the 10Gbps overhead of the Archer, its four 2.5Gbps ports (one WAN and three LAN) are still more than sufficient for most internet plans and devices. Both routers include mesh extendability as well as basic security features, but some of the TP-Link's more advanced features require a paid subscription.
