Model: Archer BE550  
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version:

hello, i want to buy a new router with Link Aggregation (my old nas support  it and need it to upgrade network speed)

 

i saw the BE550 (not Pro) v1 in official page (change URL) , it show it's support Link Aggregation

but v2 isn't show it , so it's really not support this function?

 

if i want a Wi-Fi 7 TP Link router with Link Aggregation , BE800 is only choice?

(GE800 not show this function in official page  , but the "Link Aggregation Filter" say it support)

BE550 v2 doesn't support link aggregation according to its user guide or at least this information is missing.

Here are the BE router models that support this feature.

  @Joseph-TP Hi Joseph, I have the Archer BE550 V2 here. The current firmware is 1.2.6 - I can't confirm that it supports link aggregation. The entire "Network" menu item is missing. Therefore, link aggregation cannot be enabled. Is there a solution for this?

The Archer shipped with this version. I didn't update and I couldn't find version 1.2.6 to download.

Hello @Reinhold5 ,

Is your BE550-v2 a new router?  What is the operation mode that you are using now? 

Please click AdvancedNetwork, and then LAN.  What can you see on this page?

Thanks for your quick reply! Yes, I bought it a week ago. The operating mode is currently set to Access Point mode. Unfortunately, I don't have a Network or LAN option under the Advanced menu.

Hello @Reinhold5 ,

What if you switch it to wireless router mode?  Go to Advanced-->System-> Operation mode

Next, check under LAN options for LAN Link Aggregation. If it is present, this feature can only be enabled in Wireless router mode.
