So far, delivering what the industry and user reviews have promised: bandwidth, quality, easy set-up and all at a very friendly price. Nicely packaged and the set-up instruction guide is easy to follow. Significantly better coverage in our 2000 ft² condo than our previous Linksys router -- and now no dead zones. The only glitch so far was getting my external USB NAS drive to be properly recognized and all the files accessible thru the router (which had been accessible just fine on my previous Linksys router). A couple days back-and-forth with helpful folks inside the TP-Link Community got the Windows 11 SMB settings sorted and we are now "good to go".

Just installed this today, and so far works awesome. My house is about 2000 sq ft. Had issues with my Linksys EA9500(AC5400) after 6-7 years, got the Spectrum wifi7 router, it was just problems. Specially because i have about 30-40 devices running at the same time. Bought a Netgear Nighthawk RS300 wifi 7, and it didnt worked for me either. Finally got this today, set up was super easy, a lot of options, excellent coverage in the whole house and outside. I love the option that has easymesh. And price didnt hurt my pocket.

upgraded my internet bandwidth and this was the best solution for the cost of needing and high performance router for the upgrade. I recommend this as it is easy to setup and manage from home or office.

I bought the original mini travel routers and they worked but setting them up safely was a nightmare. This one is a full size router shrunk to this size. It requires a lot of power to keep it running and it has a nice range. The he features requires an update and setting up a vpn a bit more involved. Setup requires you have a built in ethernet port and if not setup offline. The wifi 7 is nice but wifi 6e is the most important part. Based on the information and playing around with one made me choose the most powerful one. If successful I can finally have a wireless bridge and a wired connection for unsafe devices again. The features of being a wireless storage center and transfer device is better than expected. My only concern is the cell function with the dual antenna I can use more devices at once. My isp router is being accessed by an intruder again and changing the password made it worse. So saw this and got it just be careful and never configure over wifi. I’m looking forward to the new wireless connection features and get a computer running properly. Don’t expect it to be the best thing ever. I tried the small model and if this is the same you might have a good chance of success with it. I was correct it is more advanced than the other 2 models so much so it just seems to be extremely exploitable during setup. No wifi or phone just the setup device via ethernet then connect update and then use the app. Not perfect but wifi 6e only mode is available and that’s all that matters. Good product for medium skilled users.

TLDR: I think Tom's Hardware Guide said it best "Bringing Wi-Fi 7 to the masses... The TP-Link Archer BE3600 is cheap, but you also don’t get the full spec of features or performance of “true” Wi-Fi 7 routers". If you’re not big into gaming and just want a no-frills router to support your 1 Gbps or lower internet connection, there’s nothing wrong with the Archer BE3600. I personally, am very happy with my purchase and it's probably the best solution for 85% of people out there/ non-enthusiasts. NOTE: I paid $83 for this Wifi router using an Amazon coupon. Which I think is a very fair price for something I only plan to upgrade every 5-7 years, and only if I have to. I also live in a townhouse, so it's not like the signal has to go 60+ft. Details: Upgrading from a TPLINK AC1750 (Archer A7) [release ~2018], using Comcast internet (Fast plan; up to 600 mbps down) and a Netgear AC1200 WiFi USB Adapter 802.11ac Dual Band, USB 3.0 (on my computer but in a USB 2.0 port) which was about 7 feet away from the wireless router and I saw a measurable increase in my download speeds (~45% from ~260mbps to ~380 mbps using Ookla speed test). Purportedly the TP-Link BE3600 which was released in the 2024/2025 timeframe uses the same frequency bands (5 GHz and 2.4 GHz bands) as the older TPLINK AC1750 (Archer A7), but uses the newer and faster WIFI 7 (802.11be) vs the older WIFI 5 (802.11ac) protocols. The TP-Link BE3600 advertises up to 3.57 Gbps (aka 3570 Mbps; 2882 Mbps in 5 GHz band + 688 Mbps in 2.4 GHz band) whereas the Archer A7 only 1.75 Gbps (1300 Mbps in 5GHz + 450 Mbps in 2.4 GHz bands). Practically speaking the internet says anything above 100 Mbps should be able to run multiple devices pretty well streaming. But I'm upgrading anyway, because my mother needs a new router so she doesn't have to pay $10/mo for one from the cable company. I have no complaints. Easy to setup and connect to. I realize I'm now probably being gated by my older Netgear AC1200 WiFi USB Adapter which is using a USB 2.0 port (max speed 480 mbps) but my speeds are enough for me; my newer gaming PC which sits about 10 ft away from the router and uses a built-in WIFI card (Wi-Fi 6E 802.11ax) manages ~500 mbps down. CAVEAT: I do want to note my older Netis WF2120 Wireless N150 Nano USB Dongle 802.11 b/g/n (aka WIFI 1/3/4) on an older computer was not able to see the 2.4 GHz signal from the BE3600 whereas it could from the AC1750; so I replaced it. I ended up using a spare Wavlink 600M dual-band connectivity (2.4GHz and 5GHz) USB WiFi adapter which uses 802.11ac WIFI 5; and had to update the drivers on my older windows PC in the process (to recognize the Wavlink adapter).

I recently picked up the TP-Link BE3600 Travel Router and I couldn’t be happier with it—definitely a 5-star product! It’s been amazing to have a secure connection everywhere I travel, giving me peace of mind whether I’m in a hotel, Airbnb, or airport lounge. The setup is super simple, and managing it through the Tether app makes everything a breeze. One of my favorite features is having a network-side VPN when traveling. It’s great not having to configure each device individually, since everything connected to the router is automatically protected. Plus, I love that my family and I can connect all our devices without having to log each one into hotel Wi-Fi separately—our network stays the same wherever we go. If you’re looking for a reliable, secure, and easy-to-manage travel router, the TP-Link BE3600 is a fantastic choice. Highly recommended!

I switched over to a new router as my old one was overheating and not reaching my full speed through the ISP. this router allows everyone in the house to connect their devices and it doesn't slow down at all. A good buy.

Very good no issues so far

good

j`utilise ce routeur pour utilisation domestique présentement il fait bien le travail j`ai 2 tv box iptv et 1PC qui fonctionne simultanément et il me fourni le 5G sur les 3 appareils avec une connexion 100Msbs en réseau et environ 110 Msbs en Wifi plus la téléphonie IP pour 70$ il fait bien le travail ça fait seulement 30 jours que je l`ai reçu et il va bien j`ai fait 1 redémarrage depuis 30 jours pour un léger bug mon FAI fourni les même routeurs et semble dire que c`est un bon routeur il est facile à configuré sur un PC car ont peut lui émettre plus de fonctions avec une belle interface bien détaillé. Avec l`APP. il y a moins de possibilité pour la configuration avec sa fonction MU-MIMO il choisi selon la distance ( fonction intelligente) si il donne du 5G ou du 2.4G mais il y a une possibilité de lui accrédité la fréquence que l`ont veut en ce servant de la fonction invité si l`on veut absolument une fréquence pour un appareil en particulier. Pour le moment il va bien j`ai hâte de voir la durabilité de ce routeur. Pour ce qui est des antennes il mesure environ 10 PO pour une meilleur réception pour le moment TP-LINK est mon préféré.
