There's another one. Just be aware that this is the one we're covering here.

But, I wanted to start off with this because it is the lowest in terms of cost and it performs incredibly well. And for most people, this will be all that you need. So, the way I did my testing on this, I used this as my only router for 3 weeks when I just got it. And then in anticipation for doing this review, I use it for another week.

But actually, before we even get to speed tests, we kind of have to mention the naming. It's well, it's a confusing hot mess, honestly. >> Oh, how so? TPLink's marketing is just incredibly inconsistent. It's the BE9700 on their main website, right? Yeah. >> But then you go to Amazon or other big retailers and it's often listed as the BE6000.
