TP-Link Archer GE400 BE6500 Dual-Band Wi-Fi 7 Gaming Router

The TP-Link Archer GE400, sold as BE6500, is a dual-band Wi-Fi 7 gaming router built around consistent, low-latency performance rather than raw feature count a step up from general-purpose Wi-Fi 7 routers like the Archer BE230 for anyone whose main use case is gaming.

Wi-Fi 7 Gaming Speed And Ports

It delivers combined wireless speeds up to 6.5 Gbps 5765 Mbps on the 5GHz band and 688 Mbps on the 2.4GHz band using Wi-Fi 7 features like Multi-Link Operation (MLO) and 4K-QAM. A quad-core CPU handles gaming traffic alongside general household use without dropping performance. On the wired side, it includes 1x 2.5Gbps WAN port, 1x 2.5Gbps LAN port (marked for gaming use), 3x Gigabit LAN ports, and 1x USB 3.0 port.

Gaming Features And Network Security

Six high-performance antennas with Beamforming extend coverage throughout the home, and the router is EasyMesh-compatible for later expansion. A dedicated Game Panel shows real-time network status and lets players prioritize game traffic through gaming port forwarding and acceleration, while a separate IoT SSID keeps smart home devices on their own network apart from gaming traffic. Security is handled through WPA3, an SPI firewall, DDoS protection, and TP-Link HomeShield.
