Model: Archer BE800  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

I am currently using the AX11000 and am very tempted to get the BE800 purely for its multigig/multiWAN feature. 

Wondering if I could form a mesh with the BE800 as the main router with my exisiting hardware as APs?

Hi,Archer BE800 supports EasyMesh and OneMesh, while Archer AX11000 only supports OneMesh at this moment. 

For EasyMesh compatibility, please always refer to the compatibility list: TP-Link EasyMesh Devices

 

Since OneMesh doesn't support Router-Router networking, AX11000 cannot work as a satellite mesh device of BE800, however, using AX11000 as regular AP mode without mesh is still working. 

 

In addition, regarding the multigig/multiWAN feature of Archer BE800, to avoid misunderstanding, please note that only one WAN port can be used at a time, it doesn't mean we could connect more than one ISP broadband at a time.

  @Sunshine Thanks for your reply. 

 

If the multiwan does not work with 2 wan links to be connected at one time, then why are there 2 multiple wan ports? 

Would I at least be able to have 2 separate WANs and create routing policies to direct specific traffic to be go via specific WAN?

Hi, the multiwan provides more WAN port options including the SFP+ port, you could select one WAN port based on your needs, but indeed only one WAN port at a time.

thus having 2 separate WANs is not possible for BE800 etc., only business level routers suports multi-wan at the same time.
