TP-Link BE260 Overview

Enjoy smooth 8K video streaming, online gaming, and internet browsing experiences with the TP-Link Archer BE260 BE5000 Wireless Dual-Band Multi-Gig Router. Supporting the Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) standard, this budget-friendly dual-band router optimizes the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands to deliver a combined 5012 Mb/s throughput with compatible devices.

Five powerful antennas provide reliable and far-reaching coverage with beamforming and MU-MIMO technologies. Multi-link operation support allows you to simultaneously send and receive data across different frequency bands for increased throughput and reliability. With a 2.5 Gb/s WAN port, you can take full advantage of multi-Gig internet services. One 2.5G Ethernet LAN port is available alongside three Gigabit speed ports, allowing you to connect wired computers and NAS systems. WPA3 encryption, TP-Link HomeShield features, and VPN access help to protect your network and its devices against online threats. You can set up and manage features such as the parental controls and guest login through the TP-Link Tether app for Android and iOS.

Multi-Link Operation
Instead of limiting data transmission to one band, Multi-Link Operation (MLO) allows you to simultaneously connect to devices with multiple bands for high throughput, reduced latency, and improved reliability.
Multi-RUs
Wi-Fi 7 makes full use of every resource on the wireless spectrum for maximum efficiency.
4K-QAM
Supporting 4K-QAM packs up to 120% more data over the wireless frequencies compared to the previous generation.
USB Port
The USB-A 3.1 Gen 1 port lets you add flash drives and other compatible devices to share on your network.
Whole Home Mesh Wi-Fi
EasyMesh compatibility allows you to use any EasyMesh routers or range extenders as satellites to expand your Wi-Fi coverage. Mesh networks can operate using a single SSID, allowing you to smoothly move across your home while streaming videos, playing games, and browsing the internet.
Easy Setup and Use
Use the TP-Link Tether app or the web interface to set up your router in minutes. The Tether app allows you to manage network settings from any Android or iOS device.
HomeShield Security
TP-Link HomeShield provides advanced security features that deliver a safe environment that protects your family and network's data and privacy. Features include a real-time home network scanner and comprehensive parental controls. Upgrading to the premium subscription service enables additional features.
Private IoT Network for More Security
Set up a separate Wi-Fi ID for IoT devices and overlay HomeShield and advanced WPA3 encryption to better protect the security of your home network and IoT devices.
VPN Client and Server Support
Allow devices in your home network to access remote VPN servers without needing to install VPN software on every device. The Archer BE260 can run both the VPN and ordinary internet connections at the same time, delivering security and flexibility.
