TP-Link Dual-Band BE3600 Wi-Fi 7 Router (Archer BE230) - 4-Stream 3.6 Gbps, 2×2.5G + 3×1G Ports, USB 3.0, 2.0 GHz Quad Core, 4 Antennas, VPN Clients & Server, EasyMesh, HomeShield, MLO, Private IOT

Bought this router because it states Wan port is 2.5gbps. I can verify it absolutely is not. I'm not getting anything better than my old gig router. Will be returning.

I bought this router after upgrading my laptop's wifi card to an Intel BE200NGW card. My laptop was having an issue where I would get full Wifi speed (500mbps) when freshly connecting to the Wifi (a 5ghz only band) but then drop to 10mbps soon after. I'm not really sure what was happening, but I dont have that issue of the internet slowing down anymore after getting this router and connecting to the Dual band 2.4ghz & 5ghz MLO (multi-link operation) signal. I get 500mbps wifi speed all the time now, and i think it's because my 2.4ghz wifi band isnt interfering with my 5ghz band now that it is connected to both bands simultaneously through MLO. This router doesn't come with the 6ghz band, but I wanted wifi 7 for the better stability and reliability of MLO with 2.4ghz & 5ghz, even if there is no 6ghz band with this router. I don't need the faster wifi speed of a 6ghz band because my 500mbps internet plan isn't up to snuff for it anyways. 5ghz band is fine for my 500mbps internet plan. My router is in my room so i can easily get full 500gbps wifi speed. I also have a OneMesh Wifi extender that automatically connects to your device as you move through the house if the signal to it is better. It uses the same wifi name as the router
