It delivers up to 4324 Mbps on the 5 GHz band and 688 Mbps on 2.4 GHz across five streams, a combination aimed at 4K and 8K streaming, AR\/VR gaming, and busy households running many devices at once. Coverage reaches up to 2,400 square feet for as many as 80 connected devices, with five external antennas and Beamforming working to push signal toward harder-to-reach corners of a home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the wired side, the router leans into multi-gig connectivity. A 2.5 Gbps WAN port pairs with a 2.5 Gbps LAN port, three 1 Gbps LAN ports, and a USB 3.0 port, giving it room to integrate with a multi-gig modem and move data quickly across the local network. WiFi 7 features such as MLO help squeeze more out of the available bands, though buyers should note this is a dual-band unit that does not include the 6 GHz band found on higher-tier WiFi 7 hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSetup runs through the Tether app on Android or iOS, or a web interface, and TP-Link positions security as a core part of the package. The BE260 supports HomeShield protection, parental controls, real-time IoT security, and both VPN client and server functionality, letting home devices reach remote VPN servers without per-device software. TP-Link is also a signatory of CISA's Secure-by-Design pledge, and the router expands into a larger network through EasyMesh-compatible extenders.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TP-Link","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53836198609203,"sku":null,"price":659.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/7526\/5843\/files\/41sx_SoXIUL._SL500.jpg?v=1786275617","url":"https:\/\/studio-supplies.com\/products\/tp-link-archer-be260-dual-band-wifi-7-be5000-router","provider":"Studio Supplies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
