ASUS RT-BE88U
ASIN B0D55SWRSM

TP-Link Archer BE550
ASIN B0CJSNSVMR
These routers fit different home-network plans. The BE550 is the documented tri-band option, including 6 GHz, and gives you five 2.5 Gbps copper ports; the RT-BE88U trades away a listed 6 GHz band for 10G Ethernet/SFP+ and a broader mix of wired port types.

TP-Link Archer AX55
ASIN B09G5W9R6R

Archer BE550
ASIN B0CJSNSVMR
Match the router to the devices and links you will actually use. AX55 lists Wi-Fi 6 on 2.4/5GHz and Gigabit WAN/LAN. BE550 adds a 6GHz Wi-Fi 7 band and 2.5Gbps WAN/LAN; its MLO and 320MHz features require compatible clients, and 320MHz is 6GHz-only.

TP-Link Archer AXE75
ASIN B0B3SQK74L

Archer BE550
ASIN B0CJSNSVMR
The BE550 is a feature-fit upgrade only if you can use Wi-Fi 7 features such as MLO or 320 MHz, or need its published four 2.5 Gbps LAN ports.

TP-Link Archer BE230
ASIN B0DC99N2T8

BE550
ASIN B0CJSNSVMR
The BE230 is the sensible fit for a dual-band household with one multi-gig wired client. The BE550 earns its premium when compatible 6 GHz clients, several 2.5G wired devices or a busier multi-gig network make the third band and four 2.5G LAN ports useful.

TP-Link Archer BE400
ASIN B0DVBP5L6Y

BE550
ASIN B0CJSNSVMR
The Archer BE400 is dual-band Wi-Fi 7 on 2.4 and 5 GHz; the Archer BE550 adds a 6 GHz band and has four 2.5G LAN ports instead of the BE400's one.

TP-Link Archer BE600
ASIN B0F76PQ2T8

BE550
ASIN B0CJSNSVMR
Both routers can provide four LAN connections with one port used as WAN. BE600 has three dedicated 2.5Gbps LAN ports and two WAN/LAN combo ports, so the remaining combo port can serve as LAN; choose it when a 10Gbps port is needed.
