TP-Link Archer BE3600 Dual-Band Wi-Fi 7 Router, 3.6 Gbps

The TP-Link Archer BE3600 is a dual-band Wi-Fi 7 router with a claimed wireless rate of up to 3.6 Gbps and two 2.5 Gbps ports. Its EasyMesh support and app-based setup suit home networks that need faster wired links and the option to extend coverage with compatible equipment.

At a glance

The listing claims up to 3.6 Gbps across the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, not a guaranteed speed for an individual device.
Port details in the features identify one 2.5 Gbps WAN port, one 2.5 Gbps LAN port and three 1 Gbps LAN ports.
Four external antennas and Beamforming are intended to help distribute wireless coverage.
EasyMesh compatibility allows expansion with compatible routers or range extenders.
Tether app setup and network management are listed, alongside guest mode, parental control and QoS.

Pros and cons

Pros

Two 2.5 Gbps ports provide a faster wired connection option than gigabit-only ports for compatible broadband and equipment.
EasyMesh compatibility offers a route to extend the network using compatible devices.
Guest mode, parental controls and QoS provide options for separating visitors and managing network access or traffic.
The manufacturer lists an Ethernet cable and power adapter in the box.

Cons

The dual-band design lists 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz only, so it does not offer a 6 GHz Wi-Fi band.
The listed 1 Gbps LAN ports are slower than the two 2.5 Gbps ports, which matters when connecting multiple high-speed wired devices.

What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

The listing is inconsistent about port speeds: its title says two 2.5G ports, a feature specifies one 2.5 Gbps WAN, one 2.5 Gbps LAN and three 1 Gbps LAN ports, while the details also give LAN bandwidth as 2.5/5 Gbps. The details mention 5 GHz without specifying the 2.4 GHz band, while the feature text claims both. A feature calls out USB 3.0 but does not establish its port count, and the stated 802.11 standards omit Wi-Fi 7 despite the product title and generation field. Confirm the exact hardware revision and port layout if these affect your setup. The separate feedback report of limited 6 GHz connectivity is not proof of a 6 GHz radio.
