It's not just about wireless; the Archer BE550 has got your wired connections covered too. With a 2.5 Gbps WAN port and four 2.5 Gbps LAN ports, multi-gig connectivity is no longer a luxury but a standard. The router also flaunts a high-speed USB 3.0 port, making file transfers a breeze, and up to 10 times faster compared to the conventional USB 2.0.

The BE550 doesn’t stop at providing lightning-fast connectivity; it ensures that this connectivity reaches every nook and cranny of your home, thanks to its six high-gain antennas. The intelligent beamforming technology is like having a dedicated Wi-Fi butler, directing signals precisely to your devices. And if you're looking to expand this seamless connectivity across your home, the Archer BE550 pairs effortlessly with EasyMesh routers and extenders, knitting a whole-home mesh Wi-Fi network.

Setting up and managing your home network is simplified with the TP-Link Tether app and HomeShield. From robust parental controls to Quality of Service (QoS) and network protection features, ensuring a secure and smooth network experience has never been easier. Comprehensive reports provided by these tools help you delve into statistics and insights for a better understanding of your network performance.
