  @Ovidiuss I bought one a few weeks ago on Amazon Spain. No extra tariffs that I'm aware of. It's expensive because it's a very powerful device. If you don't need/want to spend that much money, there are cheaper options.

216 euro in amazon germany is not cheap , as at 220 sits BE550 router which is way more versatile. Correct price should be 150-180 euro ... all whats over 180 euro is tariffs taxes.

  @BE800user It is quite amazing, though I've found specific scenarios where it's (currently) unstable:

  • When you connect a device to MLO (which is the whole point of Wifi 7) and walk in and out of wifi range: it ends up with a total loss of wifi for all devices on all bands that can only be fixed by rebooting the RE655BE (I hope they fix this sooner than later).
  • I also found the same "wifi breaking" result when using a device that had a not-so-old driver (a friend's laptop with a AX200 on 5 GHz band with 23.90.x.x drivers from November 2024, instead of the current 23.130.x.x). Before updating the driver it was making the RE655BE break the wifi left and right. So this repeater is definitely not ready to be put in a cafeteria, bar, library, etc. where there is no control over what drivers people use.

 

I had a ticket open (TKID250524190) where they gave me a link to download an unreleased firmware (which didn't fix any of those 2 scenarios), but sadly they have stopped giving feedback, so I don't expect those 2 issues to be fixed anytime soon :-( 

 

Here's my device (set up as AP):

Thanks for your reaction on this.

 

From the adapter goes a 10Gbps ethernetcable to a 2.5Gbps eth2usbc-adapter, that is plugged in the usb-c port.

 

I am using linux, so no driver involved.

 

I used the same setup with a RE705X-adapter.

In my case it's a cable that goes directly to the router (ethernet backhaul). I have mine working as an AP, not as a repeater.

  @BE800user Yup! It's me!

 

Great reminder to update the review.

I'll reduce the rating until they fix the instability on MLO.
