TP-Link Archer GE800 BE19000 Tri-Band Wi-Fi 7 Gaming Router

TP-Link BE19000 Tri-Band Wi-Fi 7 Gaming Router (Archer GE800) - 3 Years Local Warranty

The Archer GE800 is TP-Link's flagship Wi-Fi 7 gaming router: 11520 Mbps on 6 GHz, 5760 Mbps on 5 GHz and 1376 Mbps on 2.4 GHz, with two 10 Gbps ports — one of them an SFP+/RJ45 combo — four 2.5 Gbps LAN ports and a full Game Center with GPN server acceleration and a one-click acceleration button.

BE19000 Across Three Bands

TP-Link rates the GE800 at 11520 Mbps on the 6 GHz band, 5760 Mbps on 5 GHz and 1376 Mbps on 2.4 GHz, all 802.11be. Advanced features published are 320 MHz channels, 4K-QAM, EasyMesh compatibility, Alexa and Google Assistant support and an IoT network. The headline 19 Gbps figure is the theoretical total for a Wi-Fi 7 client using Multi-Link Operation across all three bands at once, and requires a client that supports MLO and the 6 GHz band.

Two 10 Gbps Ports, One With SFP+

Wired connectivity is where this router separates itself: one 10 Gbps SFP+/RJ45 combo WAN/LAN port, one 10 Gbps WAN/LAN port and four 2.5 Gbps LAN ports. The SFP+ combo means a fibre transceiver can go straight into the router without a media converter. TP-Link's own footnote states that the two 10 Gbps ports cannot both be configured as WAN ports at the same time, and that 10 Gbps internet speeds require a compatible service plan and equipment. A USB 3.0 port handles NTFS, exFAT, HFS+ and FAT32 drives over FTP, a media server or Samba.

Game Center: Acceleration, Panel and Statistics

The Game Center is the reason to choose this model over a general-purpose Wi-Fi 7 router. It covers game acceleration — QoS for game applications, a dedicated gaming port for wired accelerated devices, game server acceleration through GPN, mobile game acceleration and a one-click acceleration button — plus a Game Panel showing network status, router performance, RGB settings and accelerated games and gear, comprehensive gaming traffic statistics, and a dedicated 5 GHz gaming band reserved for game traffic.

Full VPN Set Including WireGuard

TP-Link publishes OpenVPN, PPTP, L2TP and WireGuard as both server and client roles on the GE800 — the complete set in both directions, which is unusual and useful if you route household or office traffic through a VPN at the router. Encryption is WPA, WPA2, WPA3 and WPA/WPA2-Enterprise with 802.1x, and guest networks run on all three bands.

HomeShield Security and Parental Controls

Security is the HomeShield suite: real-time IoT protection, a malicious site blocker, an intrusion prevention system, DDoS attack prevention and a home network scanner, over an SPI firewall, access control, IP and MAC binding and an application layer gateway. Parental controls are the HomeShield set with custom profiles, a professional content filter library, Family Time, Bedtime, Off Time, Time Rewards, online time ranking, Pause the Internet and weekly and monthly reports. HomeShield's advanced features require a paid subscription.

Ideal For

Singapore gamers and enthusiasts on a 2 Gbps or 10 Gbps plan who want Wi-Fi 7 across three bands, multi-gig and SFP+ wired connectivity, and router-level game acceleration. Supplied by SourceIT with local Singapore warranty and GST invoice.
