Step into the future of wireless connectivity with the Archer TBE400UH, also known as the BE6500 Wi-Fi 7 High-Gain USB Adapter. This tri-band USB dongle is built to deliver next-generation throughput, lower latency, and stronger connections, especially in environments with heavy traffic or interference.
With support for Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be), the TBE400UH offers staggering peak theoretical speeds of up to 2882 Mbps on both the 6 GHz and 5 GHz bands, plus 688 Mbps on 2.4 GHz. These speeds are dynamic (i.e. under ideal conditions) and are made possible by 4K-QAM, Multi-RU allocation, and other enhancements over prior Wi-Fi standards.
The adapter features dual high-gain, tri-band antennas and includes a detachable stand/cradle with a 1.2-meter USB 3.0 cable. This lets you position the adapter optimally for strong signal reception even if your USB port is tucked away or obstructed. Beamforming further helps to “aim” the Wi-Fi signal toward your router, helping reduce dropouts.
Other modern features include Multi-Link Operation (MLO) for smoother multi-band switching, OFDMA, MU-MIMO, and WPA3 security for enhanced privacy and protection. Plus, the USB 3.0 interface ensures the adapter has enough bandwidth to handle the high data rates of Wi-Fi 7. TP-Link
This adapter is ideal for power users, gamers, streamers, content creators, and anyone who needs high throughput, reduced latency, and more reliable connections over greater distances. If your router supports Wi-Fi 7 (or at least Wi-Fi 6E with good 6 GHz support), this device can unlock much better performance. However, even with older routers, the backward compatibility ensures effective use. TP-Link
