5. Betriebsarten

The Archer BE400 supports two main operating modes:

5.1. Router-Modus (Standard)

In Router Mode, the device acts as your primary internet gateway, sharing your internet connection with all connected devices via Wi-Fi and Ethernet. This is the default mode and is suitable for most home networks.

5.2. Access Point Mode (Bridge Mode)

In Access Point Mode, the device extends your existing wired network to wireless devices. It connects to an existing router via an Ethernet cable and broadcasts a Wi-Fi signal, essentially turning your wired network into a wireless one. This mode is useful for expanding Wi-Fi coverage in a larger home or office.

6. Erweiterte Funktionen

6.1. Wi-Fi 7-Technologie

The Archer BE400 leverages the latest Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) standard, offering significant improvements in speed, capacity, and efficiency:

• Multi-Link-Betrieb (MLO): MLO allows devices to send and receive data across different frequency bands (e.g., 2.4GHz and 5GHz) simultaneously, enhancing throughput and reducing latency.
• 4K-QAM: This advanced modulation scheme packs more data into each signal, increasing raw data rates by up to 20% compared to 1024-QAM in Wi-Fi 6/6E.
• Multi-RU: Enables more flexible allocation of spectrum resources, allowing multiple users to transmit data simultaneously with greater efficiency.
