@David-TP Thank you for the update, I am interested, please note, the ethernet backhaul feature is critical, as I am planning to use the RE800BE together with my 800BE router to support wireless VR (Oculus Quest 3) at various locations around my home because 5/6ghz signal falls off quickly as distance increases.

  @David-TP 

I like the update and find it interesting. For me, this is incredibly useful information! 

  @David-TP Deco EasyMesh support for the RE800BE?  Wow that makes this RE much more valuable!  Thanks for the update, looking forward to see if pricing is reasonable.

Hi,

I wonder whether "Deco EasyMesh on the ..." is just a misspelling and it's actually supposed to read "Does ...".

  @David-TP is there an update regarding the release date for the RE800BE?

  @David-TP  Still no release date? Is there a date on TBE400UH?

  @David-TP  ufff.... is it possibile that no update regarding re800be??? Please release it quick... it's not true the early 2024 release.. we are already 5 month to the beginning of the year.

In early 2024, we are thrilled to introduce a new member to the TP-link WiFi 7 family. Say hello to the RE800BE, the world's very first Wi-Fi 7 tri-band wireless range extender! With its cutting-edge technology, this extender amps up throughput, slashes latency, and enhances reliability for various emerging applications. But that's not all! When you use RE800BE to create an EasyMesh network with our WiFi 7 router, you'll experience a lightning-fast Wi-Fi 7 network in every corner.

QA:

1. When will RE800BE be ready for purchase?
We currently don't have a specific release date for the RE800BE, but it could be expected in early 2024. 
Usually, when it's ready for sale, online retailers such as Amazon will likely announce a pre-order date. 

2. Does EasyMesh on the RE800BE support 6Ghz?
Yes. But please make sure the host router also supports EasyMesh on 6GHz. Currently, the following Archer BE products support EasyMesh on 6GHz.

Archer BE550_V1_1.0.5

Archer BE9300_V1_1.0.5

Archer GE800_V1_1.0.3

 

3. Does EasyMesh on the RE800BE support Ethernet Backhaul?
Not yet and It will be added via the firmware upgrade soon.

 

4. Does RE800BE support customizing its wireless SSID and password on 2.4/5/6GHz?
Yes, and it needs to be under standard wireless range extender mode. It will follow the wireless SSID and password under EasyMesh Mode.

RE800BE Vs BE550 used as satellite mesh

 
Would there be any benefit of RE800BE instead of using BE550 as a mesh/extender? BE550 sells under $250 in US. I don't se RE800BE being cheaper than that.
