Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The TP-Link Archer BE700 is the second entry in our guide to Wi-Fi 7 routers. It is a tri-band Wi-Fi 7 router with six ports, EasyMesh compatibility, a USB 3.0 port and VPN client support, priced at £299.99 and rated 4.3 out of 5 from 8,101 Amazon ratings. The finding on its own listing is simple arithmetic: the product is sold as BE15000 and "15 Gbps", while the same listing states a maximum upstream data transfer rate of 7,500 Mbps.
That is half the headline, and it is the point of this page. The 15 Gbps figure is the total of what the three bands can do at once, not what one device gets. The other numbers on the listing sit around the same gap: LAN port bandwidth of 10,000 Mbps, eight streams, tri-band operation, six ports in total. The spec table also carries an entry headed "Antenna Location" that reads "Business, Gaming, Home" — a use case rather than a location, which is why we have marked it as listed. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing, not from any testing of our own.
