I recently upgraded to the TP-Link AX1800 WiFi 6 Router (Archer AX21) and couldn’t be happier with the performance. Setup was a breeze, and the TP-Link Tether app made the whole process super smooth and quick. Right out of the box, I was able to get everything up and running without any hiccups. The speed and coverage are impressive! With the WiFi 6 technology, I’ve noticed a significant boost in speed, even with multiple devices connected at the same time. Whether it’s streaming 4K videos, online gaming, or just browsing, everything runs flawlessly with no lag or buffering. One of the standout features is the dual-band capability. It ensures that all my devices get the best possible connection. The gigabit ports are also a great addition for my wired connections, providing blazing-fast internet speeds. The build quality feels solid, and the design is sleek enough to blend in nicely with my home decor. The parental controls and guest network features are added bonuses, making it a great fit for family use. Overall, the TP-Link AX1800 has exceeded my expectations. If you’re looking for a reliable, high-performance router, this one is definitely worth the investment.

I wanted a more secure WiFi router while also saving money on the rental from my cable provider, so I was suggested to purchase this by a very experienced tech and cyber security wiz. Now, I personally don't feel that I know much about anything technical these days, but I have really enjoyed this so far. Performance wise, but more than anything I REALLY love the security of the back-office type of controls the TP-Link gives you. PERFORMANCE Now, my current home is 1500 sq ft and a split level home, so most of the areas I use WiFi at home are never too far from the router. I placed the router right on the TV stand underneath the TV so that certainly is as close as it gets. When I'm upstairs (technically 1.5 levels up from the router) I still seem to get fine enough WiFi when I'm browsing on my phone. I will say that the WiFi randomly cuts out for me, but, this is definitely an issue I had with my previous equipment so I don't blame the router itself, it is my provider. Or the wiring outside my house.. not really sure. I have noticed however that when the service does go out, ever since changing to the TP-Link, the service returns much faster and I never have to reset it. With my old provider-provided router, it would be out for hours and I always seemed to have to manually reset the equipment. So in summary, the service and performance for me has been exemplary! SOFTWARE The primary reason I got this was to make sure nobody could hack into my WiFi. With other routers, I am not sure if the same service is available, but this was the first I've ever seen it. Yes... we all know that WiFi is password protected. BUT. Someone can easily hack into it, right? Well not with the TP-Link! You can access the router security through the routers IP address, and you set a password for that as well. The user interface is pretty simple for even a dolt like myself to understand. You can control who can access your WiFi by using a blacklist or a whitelist. A blacklist means that all who have the login details *except* for specific IP addresses you've blocked can access. A whitelist means that ONLY the IP addresses you have added to your list can access the WiFi. I am using the whitelist, since I do not want anyone random or unwanted accessing my service. Let me tell you, it works perfectly! Sometimes I forget that I have this setup, and I have tried many times with many different devices to try and access the wifi... heck, even the guest network, that I thought was specifically setup for this, doesn't seem to let random users access it. It also shows you who is currently accessing it, although I find that feature doesn't seem to be totally accurate sometimes. I give the software 5 stars for the simple fact that it is so easy to control access through it. SUMMARY Overall I am very happy with this purchase. It does what I want it to do, very securely. Setup was a little confusing because if I recall correctly, nobody could access it until we were able to get into the back-office software and setup password first. Other than that I really have had no issues and enjoy using it. When I need to change a setting it is super easy to get in and make any adjustments.

So it been about 5 years since I bought a router. My old Netgear R6020 worked as expected , No issues other than the fact that I was mislead that it would be faster than 100mb. Recently , I added a lot of devices to my home network. Running speed tests I could get as high as 90mb...Research told me that this Netgear router was in fact a 100mb router... I am paying for a 150mb internet speed...I searched many routers and decided on this one. Setup was fairly easy ...And making a TPLINK account lets me control this router from anywhere. That's a pretty awesome feature to have . So , I used the same Network logins as my previous router , Enabled the smart device , and let the router do its job. Some people had issues with the smart network feature , but I updated the firmware , let it boot up , and all 13 of my devices were instantly connected. They are a mix of wired , 2.4 , and 5g devices. All 5g devices connected properly. Now , the test I was waiting for . The speed test...All speed tests now result in over 160mb ...I am a happy camper . The phone. Computer , video cams , are all faster and the signal strength is great. I am so glad I chose this router , and I think you will be happy with it also ! UPDATE : After playing with all the settings for a couple weeks , I chose to disable " smart connect " and run the same name and password SSIDs for the 2.4 and 5g . Enabling Smart with multiple devices let's the router control the network...With it off it lets the device control it . Some of my dual frequency devices were dropping to the 2.4 network ( which my security cameras are on ) with smart connect enabled....A flick of the switch and now that the devices choose the network , 5g devices tend to stay on the 5g network all the time. Performance and range have been perfect so far , any other issues and I will update ! And as Promised , here's my update : After 1 year of using this router with 13 devices connected 24/7 ,I can say this router is a beast ! No issues , great string signal everywhere in my house and yard ....But it , and you won't be disappointed..The APP is fun to play with when you are not home , and is very easy to use. I have stuck with the smartsetting off , and let my device pick the network...My 5g devices stay on 5g then , and my 2.4 network has less traffic this way .... Update : It's been a year since I bought this router and not once has it failed me ...It's a workhouse, and I have 15 devices using it ...You will not be unhappy with this inexpensive long range dual band router !

I replaced my 4 year old Synology router (by all means) a very good router, with the TP-Link ax6000 for greater Wi-Fi coverage. The antennas (8 of them) are a big plus. With the addition of devices (Computer, laptop, iPhone, iPad, smart TV, home smart devices, and my internet radio system in the garage) over the years, the router runs without a glitch in my three level house. The 8 Gigabit Ethernet port for my office configuration was also a must in my purchase decision. It sits in the corner of a room on the 3rd floor (definitely not the best place, but my home office is on the 3rd floor). The Wi-Fi coverage would be a lot higher if I could have it installed on the ground floor. It is easy to program and I also like the USB-C port connection (faster connectivity) that I use for a network drive. All in all, reliable, powerful and I’m a happy camper!

Me gusto bastante, solo lo conecte al modem de telmex y la instalación casi que se hizo sola. En cuanto a la velocidad la verdsd excelente, yo lo compre por que el modem que telmex me dio solo trae banda 2.4, y me daba velocidades maximas de 20-30, cuando por cable me daba 60-70, al desabilitar la red wifi del modem de telmex y activar la del este router bueno la 5G, la velocidad por wifi se igualo a la de por cable lo cual esta perfecto, el router es caro, pero si lo agarras en oferta creo vale mucho la pena. En el caso del home care, es gratis ya viene al menos con este modelo, no me dice nada de periodo de evaluación ni nada de alguna suscripción, el servicio como tal creo que esta bien para uso residencial y a lo mejor pequeños negocios, trae bastantes opciones y es fácil de usar, me gusta mucho las opciones qientese para controlar los dispositivos. Lo unico que puedo criticarle es el alcance de la red 5G, el alcance de la 2.4 si se extendio considerablemente y es estable, pero la 5G se degrada facil si hay muros, los mios son de ladrillo. Imagino que para lugares donde llega fibra óptica y hay velocidades superiores, este model debe haver maravillas, tal vez para mi caso lo estoy usando a un 50% pero estoy satisfecho por que aumento mi cobertura y me duplico/triplico la velocidad del wifi y le dio estabilidad. Si lo vem ej oferta no lo piensen.

Tenia muchas dudas de comprarlo por los comentarios pero lo hice. Mi router es version 1 (V1) y a 6 semanas de instalarlo, ha funcionado perfecto. Al configurarlo se instalo una actualizacion de firmwate que salio a finales de Febrero 2021. La velocidad no aumento, tenia antes con modem de Telmex 200mb (fibra optica, modem doble banda Huawei, muy estable y bueno) y con este router sigo teniendo 200mb. Compre este router para tener mas alcance, y me sorprendio. La velocidad casi no se pierde auque estes lejos del router, y ahora la señal llega a distancias que antes no. Por ejemplo, a 40 metros de distancia el router me da 50mb de velocidad conectado por wi-fi 6 (con modem telmex tenia menos de 20 metros de alcance). Antes en los lugares mas alejados con el modem telmex me llegaban 10mb, y ahora en ese mismo lugar 80mb. En resumen este router aumenta significativamente el alcance de la señal, y la velocidad contratada casi no disminuye aun cuando no estes cerca. Trae muchas opciones de personalizacion, control paretal, seguridad, antivirus sin pagar suscripcion, red de invitados, etc. Muy buena compra hasta el momento con zero problemas de desconexion o interrupciones.
