Legal Disclaimer

Claims about 802.11ax Wi-Fi technology are based on comparisons of the expected maximum theoretical data rates for one spatial stream using 802.11ax at 160 MHz (1201 Mbps) as opposed to one spatial stream using 802.11ac at 80 MHz (433 Mbps) as documented in IEEE 802.11ax draft 3.0 spec and IEEE 802.11-2016 wireless standard specifications, and require the use of similarly configured 802.11ax wireless network routers. Use of 802.11ax Wi-Fi standard requires clients to also support the 802.11ax Wi-Fi standard.Actual wireless data throughput, wireless coverage and number of connected devices are not guaranteed and will vary as a result of network conditions, client limitations, and environmental factors, including building materials, obstacles, volume and density of traffic, and client location.HT160 requires client device that supports 160 MHz bandwidth on Wi-Fi.802.11ax 2x2 160MHz enables 2402Mbps maximum theoretical data rates, 3X faster than standard 802.11ac 2x2 80MHz (867Mbps) and nearly 6x faster than baseline 1x1ac (433Mbps) Wi-Fi as documented in IEEE 802.11 wireless standard specifications, and require the use of similarly configured 802.11ax wireless network routers.Up to 75% lower latency” is based on simulation data of 802.11ax with and without OFDMA using 9 clients. Average latency without OFDM is 36ms, with OFDMA average latency is reduced to 7.6ms. Latency improvement requires that the AP and all clients support OFDMA. Saving clients' battery power requires clients to also support the 802.11ax Wi-Fi standard. Actual power reduction may vary as a result of network conditions, client limitations, and environmental factors. Use of OFDMA requires clients to also support OFDMA.*Free lifetime subscription to TP-Link HomeCare™ is included with purchase on select TP-Link models at no additional cost. “Lifetime Subscription” refers solely to the life of the purchased device and cannot be transferred.

    Might be the best AX (wifi 6) router of 2019
    Bought to replace an aging R7000 Netgear Router ( developed a habit of "DNS server is not responding" error. ) TL;DR Pros: -price -ports -no reboots required after setting changes Cons -no default admin / admin account like old routers -cant turn off QOS ( hasnt effected my network though) -lesser known brand So this purchase was the culmination on about 40 hours of research. I was a die hard Netgear owner for about 15 years. i decided to try something new for a few reasons. 1. new routers are stupidly expensive. most Wifi 6 routers with any reasonable hardware are going to run $270+ 2. firmware issues are reported for both of the popular Netgear and Asus routers. lots of negative reviews. 3. "gamer" price increase just because it is branded as "gamer" 4. sometimes trying new things is good. I settled on this TP-Link for a few reasons 1. Wifi6 (AX####) if im going to get somthing new, i might as well get the newest technology (even know none of my devices can use it yet) 2. it had a usb 3.0 ( most routers do at this point but it was on my list anyways due to network storage) 3. less that $200 4. gig+ Ethernet ports 5. its a name i know of ( top 5 networking companies Netgear, Cisco, Asus, TP-Link, D-Link) Anyways on to the review. Design: pretty slick. thinner / smaller than i expected. antennas swivel with a little effort, but stay put when your finished moving them. attaches to the wall with two screws ( not included ) the holes on the back of the device are roughly 8 1/2 inches apart. has an option to turn the LED's off at certain times Setup: initial log in was done with a cable and my laptop, the rest of the setup was completed once i replaced it on the wall where my old router was ( hard wires / cable modem location ) pretty standard set up. my router was defaulted to 192.168.0.1. once i got to the page i was prompted to set up a password. i later changed my network to use 192.168.1.1 ( like my last router) there was some quick set up first run type questions it asked. i later went in a specified permanent ports for my wired desktops which was a breeze. i also updated the firmware which was painless. one major pro with this was you can make changes to the router configuration, and you never need to reboot the router ( firmware being the only rebooting action of all the settings i changed. ) Speed: wired connections were reading 500mbps to the xfinity.speedtest.net which is what im paying for speed wise. my google pixel 2 wireless speed test to the google site was reading 320 mbps. i cant complain here, so im pretty happy with that. networked storage: i plugged in our families 256GB photo archive thumbdrive to the router, was getting consistent 30mbps transfer from desktop to thumbdrive. pretty happy with that, as its about as fast as i get when its plugged into my desktop. All and all im pretty happy with it, will keep this review updated as time goes on.

      Style: AX3000, Dual-BandVerified Purchase
      Before I get into my review I want to say that I know a lot about internet and wifi equipment.I have 8 devices connected to my network. Now I will start my review. I purchased a wifi 6 router that the company rockspace made. Now I did like their wifi 5 home mesh system. I still have that product sitting in my closet. However I was disappointed in their wifi 6 router. Here is a link to the review I wrote on it.  https://www.amazon.com/review/R17KHWR84OT3X8/ref=cm_cr_srp_d_rdp_perm?ie=UTF8
      Well I decided to do some research on other wifi 6 routers. I read a lot of good things about this tp-link wifi 6 router. I liked the specs it provided so I decided to give it a try. This is my first tp-link router. I received it in the mail unhooked the other router hooked this one up and started setting it up. I must say the setup process is simple. You can either do it from a browser on a pc or you can download their app and do it from there. They give you two options to set up the wifi networks. You can either have it set to one single ssid (this will combine 2.4ghz and 5ghz into a single wifi connection.)and it will connect your devices to which network is best for the device or you can have it the traditional way and sperate the 2.4ghz and 5ghz wifi. After I set up my wifi network I went in and changed the channels from auto to what worked best in my environment. I do recommend changing the channels from auto to what gives you the less interference from neighboring wifi channels as that will give you the best performance over your wifi. After I got all my settings where I want them it was time to run a speed test on my desktop pc. It is connected to the router by a cat 5e ethernet cable. The modem is connected to the router by a cat 6e ethernet cable. I pay for 400mbps and 20mbps upload(spectrum internet) I ran my speed test a couple of times to make sure the results were consistent. My speed results were 521.92mbps download and 28.15mbps upload. Those are great speeds and way way above what I pay for. I do a lot of gaming and this router did excellent. It lowered my ping in games and gaming overall felt a lot smoother. It provides great performance over ethernet.

      5ghz review starts here.
      To test my 5ghz network I will be using my iphone 12(WiFi 6 compatible device). I started out by testing the speeds right next to the router. The results were 482.8mbps download and 32.6mbps upload. My next test would be in my kitchen which is right outside of my room. I started the speed test. The results were 477mbps down and 23.2mbps upload. The next test would be in the laundry room which is threw my kitchen but you can see my room and the router perfectly from there. My speed test results were 417.3mbps down and 23.1mbps upload. So far the 5ghz network provides excellent speeds over distance.(Old wifi routers I had would drop a bar of signal or two at those spots and would struggle to give me a good speed over 5ghz) My next testing spot would be in my garage which isn't far from my house at all. The results were 285mbps down and 24.8mbps upload.(old wifi routers I had would only give me 1-2 bars of signal in the garage and speeds were horrible) My next testing spot would be in the front of my house. Now their is two walls in between the front of my house and the router. The speed test results were 276.5mbps down and 22.7mbps upload. At all of these  spots I tested the 5ghz wifi at I had full bars of signal and not once did they drop to 1 or 2 bars of signal. Overall the 5ghz band delivers excellent speeds and gives great coverage.

      2.4ghz review starts here.
      To test the 2.4ghz network I will be using my google pixel 4a 5g(Non wifi 6 compatible). Since I will be using the same spots to test in I'm gonna put it into a list view.
      1. Next to the router- 132mbps down and 23mbps upload
      2. Kitchen- 124mbps down and 21.8mbps upload
      3. Laundry room- 127mbps down and 23.1mbps upload
      4. Garage- 81.7mbbps down 21.8mbps upload
      5. Front of my house- 77.8mbps down and 18.8mbps upload

      While I was connected to the 2.4ghz in all these spots I did not lose any bars of signal at all. The speeds were great for being on the 2.4ghz connection. 2.4ghz connection is known to have the best range and not that great of speeds but with this router speeds are excellent for this connection.

      My thoughts.
      After all my testing was done I was very happy with this router. This router has out performed all my old routers I have ever used. However it does get a little hotter then I would like but it doesn't get hot enough to worry about it causing a fire etc. I recommend putting some space between the back of it and where it's going to be placed so it can have some more airflow. I like how they have a app for the router also. It makes it easier to see what devices are on the network instead of always needing to log in on a computer to check everything. I personally don't have anything bad to say about the router except for the heat issue other then that I defiantly recommend this router.

      networked storage: i plugged in our families 256GB photo archive thumbdrive to the router, was getting consistent 30mbps transfer from desktop to thumbdrive. pretty happy with that, as its about as fast as i get when its plugged into my desktop.

      All and all im pretty happy with it, will keep this review updated as time goes on.

      Wifi6, doble red 2.4 y 5.1 para los aparatos que solo se pueden conectar a una u otra, brinco automático a la frecuencia menos usada por tus vecinos para que no influya, red de invitados con una contraseña diferente de la de la red normal a la que puedes ponerle restricciones especificas para invitados, y una clave mas sencilla que la normal, cuatro antenas que se pueden dirigir, mejora la navegación en un depa normal con paredes, pues con el antiguo que tenia de otra marca, la señal llegaba pero era difícil navegar, no con este, este llega a todos lados, puede soportar hasta 50 conexiones simultaneas, puedes seleccionar los aparatos que quieres que tengan prioridad como tu lap y tu cel, dando menos prioridad a otros, se puede programar para se apague y prenda a ciertas horas o como yo lo tengo que todos los lunes a la 01:00 am se apague y prenda inmediatamente para resetear cualquier tema que pueda tener, viene con protección de red y puedes instalarle algún VPN si es que lo tienes contratado para mayor protección de la red, todo lo gestionas en la app que es muy sencilla y tiene muchas funciones. En fin, el mejor por el precio.

      There are a lot of other, more professional reviews on this router pretty much anywhere you look so I will stick with my personal experience with it.

      Pretty much like my old TP-Link router this one was simple to set up and configure to my needs which are a bit odd because I run a mix of wired and wireless devices in my house and not every single one runs on this unit. Rather I use it as a big access point to which all the wireless devices are connecting to. And it works rather well. It covers my 2100 sq.ft on three levels better than my older router and everyone is now happy with the service we're getting, regardless of the corners they decide to sit on. The streamers also work better with less buffering and without the occasional dropout like they used to.

      The set up of the unit is very straight forward especially if you're a bit familiar with the TP-Link interface in particular. All in all, taking the whole network down (the old router pulls now wired duty only, replacing an even older router I had there) and putting it all together back up took around 20 minutes, including the running up and down the stairs to the basement where the modem is.

      I've been pretty lucky with my TP-Link devices so far in the 10+ years I've been using this brand and this particular router seems pretty suitable to my household, keeping all the avid content consumers happy while myself and my wife log on to work remotely. Even on the busiest weekends it seems to keep up without an issue.

      So far so good, I'm happy to give this thing my recommendation.

      Did a lot of research on getting the best quality price mix. This really hits all points. WiFi6, strong signal, and good QoS functionality. Where on my old TPG provided router devices dropped off sporadically and bandwidth wasn't effectively managed between the missus watching Netflix and me being on a Zoom call this router really made our life better. The only bad thing I've got to say is that while the router can quite effectively cater for an external HD it just decided it didn't want to work with my Macbook's time machine backup. Otherwise solid buy.

      5.0 out of 5 stars Worked out of the box in my RV and connected to Starlink RV

      I know I said it worked out of the box. It did. There were more issues dealing with Starlink than I would have liked. Starlink does not provide an uncomplicated way, or anyway, to connect to things like printers, other Smart TV's, lights, and Alexa. Starlink also does not provide any real guidance in the matter. You need to do a lot of research. I bout this Router hoping I could print and watch TV through Starlink. I have my FT office in the RV so its important. I am sure a lot of RV'ers will appreciate this bit of wisdom. I followed instructions on the Router, and it connected quickly to Starlink. You should change the name and password as instructed. Change both the 5G and 2.4G and keep password and username the same. Download the TP link APP. It helped a lot. Having the WPS button was worth everything!! It all worked. Remember to make sure when you turn on your main computer that the Network is the same name as the network you changed it to. Otherwise, your main computer can no longer control the rest of your devices. Anyways, I recommend Starlink for RV'ers and now I recommend that if you buy it, buy an additional Router. This one worked for me. I am getting at or more than 100mbs on an island in the pacific:)

      5.0 out of 5 stars El mejor router del mercado

      Cuando lo compré costaba $2,500 pero he de decir que hasta el momento ha funcionado perfecto dirigiendo el tráfico de red a todos los dispositivos de mi casa sin cortes y ha hecho que mi internet se estabilice demasiado.

      El router que nos proporcionó el prooveedor no funcionaba adecuadamente al tener más de 10 dispositivos simultáneos y era lento el WiFi. Este router tiene WiFi 2.5GHz de muy buena emisión y velocidad y un excelente WiFi de 5GHz con una ultra velocidad. Con este tengo alrededor de 40 dispositivos (incluyendo IoT) conectados y funciona súper bien.

      Tiene un 'antivirus' integrado que te evitará a ingresar a sitios maliciosos y la mejor parte es que ofrece "QoS" (Quality Of Service), con esta opción puedes darle la prioridad de conexión a los dispositivos más importantes de tu casa para que cuando el internet se ponga mal, estos no pierdan la conectividad fácilmente y las reuniones de zoom o las sesiones de juego continúen casi algún inconveniente. ¡Muy recomendado!

      Tomar en cuenta que si no notas mejoras en tu red significa que:
      1. El internet te está fallando horriblemente
      2. El router de la compañía ya era bueno y te daba la velocidad contratada (no da más megabits de bajada)

      ¡Gracias por leer!
