Model: Archer BE550  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.6

Please explain, why for the love of St. Pete do TP-Link products have multiple names?
Its a Archer BE9300 or is it a Archer BE550

https://www.tp-link.com/us/home-networking/wifi-router/archer-be9300/

But it is also called Archer BE550

I need to ensure I am using the proper 'pronoun' for this guy / gal / they / them  :)

 

Thank you so much for sharing, I am sure there has to be a reason that makes might make sense to me.
Otherwise, please pick one and stick with it.

 

What da huh?

The best method for identifying your router model is its bottom sticker. That includes FW region and HW version - details.

As can be seen from your router bottom sticker your router model is BE550 (US region), HW version 1.6.

The designation BE9300 comes from the router wireless speed:

3c4482ddc44f49a781822a40c9578881

This is a sum of all wireless bands speed, i.e :

5760Mbps+2880Mbps+574Mbps = 9214 ≈ 9300 Mbps

'BE' in front of the number is defining the wireless standard 802.11be (Wi-Fi 7).

All this information leads to a precise identification of your product as: https://www.tp-link.com/us/home-networking/wifi-router/archer-be550/
