  @David-TP May I ask: how much better is the 5G modem in NX500 compared to BE65-5G?

I see the theoretical bandwidth is higher on the NX500. Does it have any other benefits when it comes to the 5G compared to the more expensive BE65-5G (which I know have other benefits vs NX500 such as Wi-Fi 7 support etc.)?

Hi,  Archer NX500 supports Sub-6 GHz NR 2CC with 200 MHz channel bandwidth, so its theoretical peak rate under the 5G SA network is 4.67 Gbps, a little higher than 3.4 Gbps on Deco BE65-5G(120MHz under 5G SA Network). Their expected 5G network performance in the lab test is almost comparable. The main difference still lies in the wireless specification, software features, and applicable scenarios.

Thank you very much.

Best regards.

  @David-TP OK, thanks for the info! :)


But at least on paper 5G connection of the NX500 is better since it can use multiple 5G-bands simultaneously where BE65-5G can only use one?

I'm also thinking if it helps for stability and latency – more important than having max bandwidth in many cases.

 

But you say in the lab they perform about the same when it comes to these things, even when the NX500 can use more than one 5G-band? 🤔

Edit:

OK, David-TP gave more info and corrected me here – the BE65-5G can use Carrier Aggregation, i.e. aggregate two two NR bands (see more below).

Hi, thanks for the quick reply.

I updated the previous reply a little bit, and the maximum 5G bandwidth of NX500 is 200MHz, and for BE65-5G, it is 120MHz

If you refer to Carrier Aggregation, Deco BE65-5G is also capable of aggregating two NR bands.

The final 5G download speed on the mobile router is influenced by various factors, including the peak connection rate of the 5G router and the network infrastructure deployment of the Service Tower. I prefer to think that when the 5G peak rate surpasses what mobile ISPs typically offer, the final download speed is no longer constrained by the 5G mobile router alone. Whether the NX500 and Deco BE65-5G could provide a fast and stable connection.

Best regards.

  @David-TP
Aha, so the BE65-5G can use more than two bands simultaneously. Sorry, my limited research gave the impression that wasn't the case.
Thanks for the updated info!

Hello everyone,

 

I am in Italy and I own an NX200 with Vodafone as carrier. I am very satisfied with it, getting a good speed and a great network stability with multiple Wi-Fi devices and a couple of ethernet connected (including a NAS always on).

 

The official firmware worked well, but I wanted to install this beta just for trying it: it works perfectly as well, with no disconnections after two weeks without rebooting.

 

Today, I noticed that the router shows a firmware update, but I have not been able to find any information online.

 

Do you have the same update and were you able to find something about it?

 

Thank you!

  @denuvo98 

Hi, welcome to the community.

If you check the hardware version on the bottom label, is it V2.0 or V2.2?

"1.1.0 3.0.0 v60e0.0 Build 250812 Rel.76795n", is the latest version for Archer NX200_V2.2.

And you can find the release note here:

https://www.tp-link.com/en/support/download/archer-nx200/v2.20/#Firmware

Wait for your reply.

Best regards.

Hello @David-TP,

 

the version on the bottom label is actually v2.2.

However, on the Italian website of tp-link I see only v1/v2/v3, no mention to v2.2.

 

Moreover, the v2.0 beta version I picked from this thread works perfectly: is the firmware for v2.0 compatible with v2.2?

 

Thanks!

 Hi good day,

 

Can I use the TP-Link Archer NX200 with NordVPN? (I know about the BE65, which works with NordVPN.) I would really appreciate an answer.

  @David-TP Hi, Idk if it was a coincidence or not but since the update my NX200  is giving me some problems. I used to have 65-90 ms while gaming at most but lately is more like 100-150. At the same time I noticed that the router stopped losing connection and having to reset it... Is there any way I can rollback the firmware? Is it possible thay my ping is higher cause of the update?

My 5g connection was not perfect but  I spent all summer without major problems and now I cant play normaly for more than 15 mins at best...

Thanks for the help
