The TP-Link Archer BE400 is a dual-band Wi-Fi 7 router designed for homes, gaming setups and small offices that need fast, reliable wireless networking. Supporting the latest IEEE 802.11be (Wi-Fi 7) standard alongside Wi-Fi 6 and earlier generations, it provides a practical upgrade for households with multiple connected devices.

Operating across 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands, the Archer BE400 combines modern wireless technology with compatibility for existing laptops, smartphones, gaming consoles and smart-home equipment. Unlike tri-band Wi-Fi 7 routers, this model does not use a dedicated 6 GHz band, making it an option for users who want Wi-Fi 7 features without necessarily moving to a more expensive tri-band setup.

The router includes an Ethernet WAN connection for connecting to an existing modem or fibre network terminal, alongside four RJ-45 LAN ports for wired devices. This makes it suitable for connecting gaming PCs, desktop workstations, smart TVs and other equipment where consistent local network connectivity matters.

External antennas help distribute wireless coverage throughout the home, while a USB connection provides additional functionality depending on the router's firmware and supported features. Its black housing, status indicators and included power adapter make it straightforward to integrate into an existing network.

Whether you're upgrading an older Wi-Fi router, connecting more devices or building a modern home network, the TP-Link Archer BE400 combines Wi-Fi 7 connectivity with essential wired networking features.

Wi-Fi 7 for Modern Home Networks

The Archer BE400 supports Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be), the latest major generation of wireless networking technology.

Wi-Fi 7 introduces improvements designed to increase wireless efficiency, reduce latency under suitable conditions and improve performance with compatible devices.

Actual benefits depend on client compatibility, firmware, network configuration and environmental conditions.

Dual-Band Wireless Connectivity

The router operates on 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequencies.

The 2.4 GHz band is generally suitable for broader coverage and smart-home devices, while 5 GHz is often preferable for faster connections to nearby computers, smartphones and gaming equipment.

Important: The Archer BE400 is a dual-band Wi-Fi 7 router and does not provide a 6 GHz wireless band.

Four Ethernet LAN Ports

Connect compatible desktop PCs, gaming consoles, smart TVs and other wired devices directly through the router's four RJ-45 LAN ports.

Wired Ethernet connections avoid the additional variability of Wi-Fi, making them useful for stationary devices and gaming setups.

For complementary computer equipment, explore PC Accessories.

External Antennas for Wireless Coverage

The router uses external antennas to distribute wireless signals.

Coverage depends on building materials, router placement, interference and connected devices. Positioning the router in an open, central location can help improve wireless performance.

USB Connectivity

A built-in USB port provides a connection for supported USB functionality.

Specific capabilities, such as network file sharing or printer sharing, depend on the router's hardware revision and firmware and should be verified before purchase.

Designed for Everyday Networking

The Archer BE400 includes status indicators and an Ethernet WAN connection for straightforward integration with compatible broadband equipment.

Its black design fits into home entertainment systems, gaming desks and office environments.
Home Users: Households upgrading from older Wi-Fi 5 or Wi-Fi 6 routers and looking for newer wireless networking technology.

Gamers: Users who want Wi-Fi 7 connectivity for compatible devices alongside wired Ethernet connections for gaming PCs and consoles.

Remote Workers: Professionals who rely on video conferencing, cloud applications and multiple connected devices.

Smart Homes: Households connecting smartphones, laptops, televisions and compatible smart-home devices through one network.

Small Offices: Workspaces requiring wireless networking and multiple wired LAN connections.

Wi-Fi 7 introduces newer wireless technologies designed to improve network efficiency and performance compared with previous Wi-Fi generations.

However, upgrading to Wi-Fi 7 does not automatically increase your broadband speed. Your internet connection, router capabilities and connected devices all influence real-world performance.

Feature	Wi-Fi 6	Wi-Fi 7
IEEE standard	802.11ax	802.11be
Maximum channel width supported by the standard	160 MHz	320 MHz
Maximum modulation supported by the standard	1024-QAM	4096-QAM
Multi-Link Operation	No	Supported by the standard

Important: This table compares wireless standards, not the Archer BE400's complete feature set. For example, its dual-band hardware does not support 6 GHz, and 320 MHz channels are not available on its 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz bands.

If you already have a reliable Wi-Fi 6 router and primarily use older devices, upgrading may provide limited immediate benefits.

However, if you're purchasing a new router for a household with modern wireless devices, the Archer BE400 offers a way to adopt Wi-Fi 7 without requiring a tri-band network.
