Model: Archer BE800  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.2.3 Build 20250314

Why is there artificial limits on the amount of devices you can isolate?

Why is there artifical limits on the amount of devices allowed to connect to IOT wifi?

Why is there not a switch for each device to turn on and off isolated devices individually rather than having to disable it completely?

The reason I ask this question is there is plenty of ram and processing power on these units.

Also there is a lot of address space to be used to isolate stuff.

  • 10.0.0.0/8:

    This range (10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255) is commonly used for larger internal networks or for networks that are known to be behind a NAT device.

  • 172.16.0.0/12:

    This range (172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255) is another common choice, offering more flexibility and is often used for medium-sized networks.

  • 192.168.0.0/16:

    This is the most common range for small home and office networks, typically associated with home routers.

 

IMPORTANT FEATURES MISSING:

WIFI ACCESS LIST.

Anyone who is going to purchase this router to use it proper is going to likely have wifi backhaul consisting of other AP's. 

There is a HUGE issue with this unit it causes disconnections with IOT and Security Cameras. 
It is so bad I have a wifi 7 router and I can NOT use the wifi feature of this unit. I have to disable all wireless so my stuff doesn't disconnect daily.

 

The only way to fix overlap issues and disconnection is using a WIFI access list.

 

You need to be able to stop having devices connect only at the wifi level so they can connect to another wifi AP instead but NOT block them entirely only from wifi access!

 

If you block the MACID entirely nothing makes it through.

 

If you block the MACID only for the WIFI with a wireless ACCESS list the device can still be connected to the network but wifi will not allow it to connect.

 

I enjoy this router very much however it is not useable as a wifi7 device for my network. So I paid 800.00 for this when it came out V1 hardware and I have been waiting for simple features to be included that are available in most every other model except TPLINK.

 

Load balancing via a WIFI access list is a MUST HAVE feature! Do Not Ignore Please. Thank You So Much YES!
