The short version
The Archer BE800 is TP-Link's BE19000 tri-band Wi-Fi 7 router, rated at 11,520 Mbps on 6 GHz, with one 10 Gbps RJ45 port, one 10 Gbps RJ45/SFP+ combo port, four 2.5 Gbps LAN ports, USB 3.0 and an LED display. Tom's Guide measured nearly 2 Gbps at 15 feet and long range. It suits fiber and multi-gig homes wanting flexible wired links. Throughput at middle distances trailed some rivals, and the case is bulky.

Common questions
Can the Archer BE800 use a fiber connection directly?
Yes. One of its two 10 Gbps WAN/LAN ports is an SFP+/RJ45 combo port, so it can take an SFP+ fiber connection or an RJ45 cable, according to TP-Link.
Does the Archer BE800 support mesh?
TP-Link lists it as EasyMesh-compatible, so it can form a whole-home mesh with other EasyMesh routers and range extenders.
What can its LED screen show?
TP-Link says the display can show the time, weather, text and emojis, with more than 3,000 customizable graphics.
