Hello TP-Link Team,​

 

I'm a proud owner of the Archer BE230 (also known as BE3600), and I appreciate its performance and value. However, I've noticed that it currently operates only on the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands, despite being marketed as a Wi-Fi 7 router.​

Upon researching, I found that the BE230 utilizes the Broadcom BCM6764 chipset, which supports tri-band operation, including the 6GHz band.

This raises the question: is the omission of the 6GHz band a hardware limitation or a software/firmware decision?​

 

Enabling the 6GHz band would allow users to fully leverage Wi-Fi 7 capabilities, such as reduced interference and higher throughput, especially in environments with many Wi-Fi devices.​

 

I kindly request TP-Link to consider enabling the 6GHz band on the Archer BE230 through a firmware update, if feasible. This enhancement would significantly improve the router's functionality and user experience.​

Thank you for your attention to this matter.​

 

Best regards

Hi@Yesrab,

The BE230 was our first Wi-Fi7 product which doesn't support 6G, it's an upgrade based on the older AX3000 router, from WiFi6 to WiFi7, both 2.4G and 5G supports WiFi7 protocol, then wireless negotiation rate turns higher from 574Mbps+2400Mbps to 688Mbps+2880Mbps.
There is no clear plan to add 6Ghz function to BE230 in the future, so I can't give you a clear answer.

Feel free to let us know of any other feature requests you may have, we’d be happy to send them up for you.
