My previous router was well over a decade old and started dropping out. This TP-Link AX3000 is an excellent replacement! I'm finally getting full use out of my ISP. I have the router in my office which is in the corner of my house. While that's not ideal for coverage, I'm still getting coverage at the other end of my 2500sf home. Yes, the speed drops quite a bit, but it's still more than I need in that area. Setup was super easy. I chose to set it up using the browser instead of the app. The browser automatically popped up when I plugged in the router. It walked me through the steps, downloaded firmware updates and was running in minutes. I chose to use the same SSID and password as my old router and everything in my home connected automatically. I have about 19 devices connected including a couple of PCs, phones, Roku devices, Amazon devices, thermostat, wireless plugs, etc. Everything is running great. It's only day one, so fingers crossed everything stays this way :) Very happy with this purchase and how easy it was to set it up.

I bought a Deco X55 back in July 2022 after my 11-year-old Apple AirPort Extreme / Time Capsule just couldn't keep up with all my connected devices (now numbering 27 including IoT lights, etc). Although I liked the Deco, it was a bit harder to set up than it should have been. I will separately comment on that product instead of including it here. Suffice to say that I could never achieve the full 500 Mbit/s speeds I was paying for and instead would get in the mid 400's if I was lucky and often it fell to the high 300's. I put devices that didn't need the bandwidth, such as IoT light switches, thermostats, etc. on the 2.4 Ghz band. But still, even with my computer 4 feet from the Deco, I could never hit 500. The forcing function for me was the Deco did not have a USB port and I wanted to hook my 6TB external hard drive to the router so it would be accessible by my iPad and two computers "over the air". The first thing I noticed was how easy it was to set up. I used the tether app and it did not skip a beat. Very intuitive and it just worked, first time, out of the box when I followed the guidance of the app on my phone. The second thing I noticed was the speed. Routinely getting 520-540 Mbit/s speeds from the devices where I need it, like Apple TV, iPad, and my laptops. The third thing I noticed was the signal strength. I guess that is to be expected since it has 4 antennas instead of the hidden one in the Deco's little white cylinder that is aesthetically pleasing but just simply not as powerful. The Archer AX3000 also has two processors so whether it is signal strength, processing power, or a combination of the two, every device in my house that needs to have a high-speed connection has it - no matter where I am at within the 1800 sq. ft. structure. I place the router on top of a tall bookshelf and I like that I can see the LEDs without standing on a step stool. The Deco didn't permit that because of where the LED was located; I had to stand on the couch to see if the light was red or green. Both the Deco and the Archer AX3000 were good at keeping devices connected without dropping them and with staying connected to my cable modem. My old Apple AirPort would drop its connection to the modem about 3-4 times per week, and that is what prompted me to start looking for something more reliable. Also, the Time Capsure (2TB hard drive) was starting to faintly squeal on occasion, and I think that was the fan. It tended to get very hot and it was clear to me that it was being taxed too heavily with so many devices. It started it's life in 2012 with only 5 connections (iMac, 2 phones, 1 iPad, 1 printer) and this gradually increased to 5X as many devices. I am today at 27 and counting and the Archer AX3000 has no trouble keeping up. I like the Tether app and the ability to give names to my connected devices, to see what band they are on, and to assign icons. Connecting my external hard drive was also pretty straightforward and most of my issues were in understanding how to enable Win 11 and my ipad to use SMB and FTP to access the HDD - not any failing of the router. The price was reasonable ($135) and I could not be happier with the upgrade. Now, to put my Deco X55 on eBay and find it a new home. It was a good little device for the 6 months I had it, but my home is small enough that it doesn't need a mesh device and satellites, and now that I have compared it to the Archer AX3000 it is clear that the Deco cannot match the performance. I pay for 500 Mbit/s through my ISP (Spectrum) and I am finally getting not only the full 100%, but actually about 110% in most cases.

Honestly this is the best router I've ever owned. I've had Netgear, Linksys, and whatever garbage Xfinity rents out. This takes the cake in terms of performance. The range is only slightly less than my previous Linksys router but it makes up for it in speed and stability. Also, the range might be slightly less but it performs better in the areas with weaker signal. It also covers areas better than my Linksys router so I think the beam convergence is much better. The icing on the cake is the Tether app. Makes setup and settings incredibly easy to set and change. Love it! I know recently there are worries about it being a Chinese company and cybersecurity issues and what not but honestly for me, it doesn't matter. The only thing they are going to see if they spy on me is Tik Tok videos and google searches to dumb questions. For me the $80 is worth it.

Setting up the router was easy: start with admin password change/set new password configure name for SSID and choose to leave both separate or combine to smart switch. I selected smart option setup internet connection or skip. I choose to skip so I could copy info from my old router logged in to my old router from another device & setup internet side by sides Bandwidth, Speed, Coverage: wow it had long range with good bandwidth. I curranty had one main router and an extender as the main router could not cover my full house. I just replaced both with this one single router. even to the ends of my house I get 40-50MB bandwidth, which is like 2-3 walls behind. Multiple Network for isolation and protection plus Mesh: the router can be configured with network separation for more security. each network has 2.4 or 5G option Your home privet network can be combined with Smart option which broadcasts s single SSID but switched devices between 2.4 or 5G based on coverage or reach There are 4 network options and all can be managed or kept separate Home/privet network, IoT device network, guest network and LAN network (via cable) you can easily setup one mesh by adding more LP-Link mesh devices to extend you network if required (support only TP-link devices) Security option, Parental control and Tether app: the router comes inbuilt with basic security that checks for your router configuration if week or if you have a less secure configuration or password for your Wi-Fi network isolation, where you can isolate IoT devices from your home network it has paid upgrade to prevent intrusion, web filter and IOT device protection (monthly or yearly plan) the router can be managed over the internet via the tether app, you need to link it to your account to use it. parental control creates separate profiles per home user so you can add all their devices to their own profile & configure it separately. allow or block access using Tether app made easy. Over this router is a great option if you are looking for an upgrade with wifi 6 with inbuilt basic security options.

This router is the end of my long journey down a rabbit hole of trying to find a solution of "adding" more storage to an Android device that I felt does not have enough free space. My router before this in terms of wireless coverage wasn't bad, and its internet speed tests were usually 'fine'. However, the issue I realize it had was when I began to set up networked storage in my home and its local file transfer speeds over Wi-Fi were abysmal. After dealing with numerous settings on that router, going through two TP-Link extenders that ultimately did not resolve the issue, I ended up just getting this router instead. And I have to say, this fully solved my issue and easily surpassed all expectations that I had. For starters, my previous Wi-Fi 6 router only managed around 30Mbps when doing a wireless-to-wireless local file transfer between two devices. Whether doing a local speed test or deploying an SMB share. This router? Easily managed between 750-850Mbps, entirely over wireless. It was such an unbelievable increase in performance that that alone makes this worth it for me. Setup is as simple as any other router can be, possibly even easier with the ability to set it up with the mobile app that guides you through the entire process if you don't want to set it up via a computer with a web browser. Giving it the same SSID and password as my prior network allowed all of my devices to reconnect to the network as if nothing happened. Wi-Fi 6, 160MHz channel support, QoS, built in SMB, VPN, Access Control, ability to set it up as an AP, IoT isolation, this router has SO many features for its price, it's insane. The mobile app is great but you do need to go into the gateway on a browser to access its full host of features. There are new features being added to the router still in the form of firmware updates, that the router is still seemingly frequently receiving. This completely solved my goal of wanting to add networked storage in my home. It's so nice to be able to transfer files between all of my devices without ever needing to physically connect them again. Transferring files completely saturates the 1GbE NIC whether wireless or wired on all of my devices, and still leaves plenty of bandwidth on the router itself to allow other devices to function normally. There's not even much to say about its internet performance, it's great, of course. If you have a gigabit internet plan, you will have nothing to complain about whether wired or wireless utilizing this router. There are no less than a combination of 15 wired/wireless devices connected to this router and none of them experiencing any issues. I am very happy with this router!
