The Archer BE900 remains the more powerful single box, a quad-band Wi-Fi 7 flagship with twelve internal antennas, dual 10G ports and an SFP+ cage that outguns the tri-band Deco BE77's single 10G combo port per unit. The Deco BE77 answers with a built-in speed test and the flexibility to add nodes for whole-home coverage, something the standalone Archer BE900 cannot do on its own. Choose the TP-Link Deco BE77 for better-rated, expandable tri-band mesh, or the TP-Link Archer BE900 if you want maximum quad-band throughput and multi-gig ports concentrated in one router.
