Verdict
The Archer BE800 is a fast Wi-Fi 7 router with 10GbE and no fan, but it has no smart home hub and its LED display is mostly a gimmick.

Verdict

Two 10 Gbps ports, a tri-band Wi-Fi 7 setup and an LED screen set the Archer BE800 apart. BE19000 speed breaks down as 11520 Mbps on 6 GHz, 5760 Mbps on 5 GHz and 1376 Mbps on 2.4 GHz. One of the 10 Gbps ports is an RJ45 socket and the other an SFP+ combo, plus four 2.5 Gbps LAN ports. A USB 3.0 port shares media over the network, and eight antennas handle coverage. VPN client and server, HomeShield, EasyMesh and a private IoT network cover security and expansion. Setup runs through the Tether app or a web page. There is no built-in modem, and the price is premium. It suits fibre homes and enthusiasts who want a future-proof wired backbone.
