TP-Link Archer BE220 BE3600 Dual-Band Wi-Fi 7 Router

The TP-Link Archer BE220, also sold as the BE3600 in some markets, is TP-Link’s entry point into Wi-Fi 7 built to bring the newer standard to a lower price than models with multi-gig ports like the Archer BE230.

Wi-Fi 7 Speed And Wired Connectivity

It delivers combined wireless speeds up to 3.6 Gbps across the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands, powered by a quad-core CPU that keeps performance steady even with several devices connected. Unlike the Archer BE230, which includes 2.5Gbps ports, the BE220 keeps things simple with 1 Gigabit WAN port and 4 Gigabit LAN ports enough for most home internet plans without the added cost of multi-gig hardware.

Coverage, Security And Smart Features

Four external high-performance antennas with Beamforming extend WiFi signal throughout the home, and the router is EasyMesh-compatible, so it can be paired with a compatible extender or router later for whole-home coverage. TP-Link HomeShield adds built-in security against online threats, and setup and management run through the TP-Link Tether app.

• Dual-Band Wi-Fi 7 — Up to 3.6 Gbps combined speed across 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands.
• 1 Gigabit WAN + 4 Gigabit LAN Ports — Full Gigabit wired connectivity.
• Quad-Core CPU — Stable performance with multiple connected devices.
• 4 High-Performance Antennas With Beamforming — Stronger, more reliable coverage.
• TP-Link HomeShield — Built-in network security.

This makes the Archer BE220 a solid choice for anyone who wants to move to Wi-Fi 7 at the lowest possible cost and doesn’t need multi-gig wired speeds. Buyers with faster-than-Gigabit internet plans, or who want dedicated 2.5Gbps ports, should look at the Archer BE230 instead.
