Awesome device
I had a functioning modem that was a few years old and I was unsure whether purchasing a new more powerful modem was worth it considering Australias internet speeds arent that high anyway. I also live in a small 2 bedroom apartment and already had 4 bars in the whole place. But DANG this made a huge difference in the quality and latency of all devices on WiFi, especially my TV in the other room. Well worth the price - shouldve done it earlier.... Show more

Bought another one!
I've had mixed experience with a number of home routers at the value end of the market. They started to need a reboot; this became more frequent; and then they died. The AX10 goes on and on. Bandwidth tests consistently show I am getting 100% of the Mpbs I pay for. Others go up and down according to God knows what interference. OK, my demands are not high, but they appear to exceed the performance of a lot of devices! Interestingly, the Wifi has a higher bandwidth (from reasonably range) than ethernet! Cannot recommend the AX10 highly enough for a value-minded, home user.... Show more

Decent router, a bit limited
This is a reasonably priced router, which on the bright side has more than enough CPU power and memory to do the job, and an easy interface with easier firmware updates than older TP-Links. The down sides are it insists on randomly switching to a named address (tplinkwifi.net) rather than the IP, so if you have two Archers you will get moved to the other one fairly frequently while trying to set it up; and it's a bit limited in terms of controls, again compared to older TP-Link models. Despite the huge antennas, its power isn't vast, and despite the misleading OneMesh web page, it is not available with OneMesh, and I doubt it ever will be (I personally suspect OneMesh is being phased out, given how much more profit they can get from the Deco systems). I've found ...

I've found TP-Link gear to be pretty reliable over time. The default settings should probably be tinkered with, using a laptop WiFi mapping program, if you live in a densely populated area; it's not good at guessing bands. I had best results from shutting off SmartConnect and turning on OFDMA, and setting the bands myself.... Show more

Fantastic to pair with your lNBN modem. Super fast
This is the best purchase ever. The default NBN modem/routers that come from your provider are very bad. But you can use them as modem only (as a bridge) and pait it with this fantastic and superfast Ax10 Wifi router. I have seen my speed go up spectacularly and the connections are way more stable! Also great for wireless connecting Oculus Quest 2 to the PC (Wifi-6)!. Very happy with the purchase.... Show more

Great price, super-fast NYC wifi and ethernet, easy setup
As usual, a B & H product specialist gave me great advice-- by recommending this router. Setup was a breeze, the quick start instructions were easy to follow, and it was working immediately. I should have upgraded my router much sooner! The improvement in speed and continuity of my connections is remarkable. This delivers wifi and ethernet connections that are as fast and stable as I could ever want. I am using this in a co-op in a big NYC apartment building, crowded with neighbors' competing router signals. Yet this router maintains solid connections at impressive speeds, both wired and wirelessly. Its radio signal is strong in every corner of the apartment, even with old-time, solid structural walls separating the rooms. And that is noteworthy because it's located ...

I had a great experience with my quite old, prior TP Link router, so this one is true to form. I highly recommend this router, especially from B&H.... Show more

Is it fast?
Is this going to improve my internet speed? That is easily one of the top questions when considering purchasing equipment like this, (Which I'll get to). First, if you are still paying your internet service provider to lease their equipment, I'll save you time and just recommend buying it right now. Depending on your internet speed, you may also need to purchase a modem. You'll not only save money in the long run, but you most likely will see a boost in your internet speed. TP-Link's Archer AX1800 is a good router and is a steal with its price tag. Setup is straight forward. Use your smartphone to scan the QR code, download the app and it will walk you through the easy setup. The AX1800 claims Wi-Fi speeds of 1.8 Gbps *. I have 1 Gbps fiber optic internet and after ...

I have 1 Gbps fiber optic internet and after setting up the AX1800, I used my phone to test the speeds on both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bandwidth. I was a few feet away from the router when I performed these tests. The 2.4 GHz topped out at almost 105 Mbps. The 5 GHz topped out at just over 677 Mbps. Not quite the speed advertised, but still very fast. For the price and the speeds, it would be hard to find a better entry level router.... Show more

OK WiFi 6 router, must buy protection plan
It is OK WiFi 6 router looking at $74 price.Don't forget to buy extra protection plan for this.I had this refurbished router previously and exactly after 1yr due to some issue (I guess thermal/heat) it went into bool loop.I opened it and the thermal pad was completely rotten. I had to throw it and buy again since this is the only cheapest WiFi 6 router around.Good -1. is it has two separate 2.5GHz and 5GHz network so you can chose what network to connect to.2. 4 Ethernet RJ45 portsBad -1. Has thermal/heat issues so it will betray you anytime.The new one I got has given me a problem couple times already where after 4-5 it just stops and its internet LED turns Orange. To recover I have to restart it.I'm watching it for the moment when I'll return it and ...

Solid router
So far the router has been working flawlessly. Easy to setup. Had it up and running within 10mins. Has good wifi range. Covered my 3 bedroom house no problems at all. The one thing a hate is that it has to connect to a top level domain server every 30sec. Its to check to see it your internet is still up and running. A heat beat. Block it and the router stops running.... Show more

WiFi 6 Brilliance
I had tried two other brands of routers (WiFi 5 standard) before trying AX10, as my connection speed often dropped and routers struggled to keep multiple active connections.Setting up AX10 was simple. AX10 comes with an intuitive app for both Android and iOS. I have set up AX10 to use both 2.5GHz and 5GHz simultaneously depending on data load on each channel. Router does a remarkable task of distributing data load from various devices. There are no dropped connections or speed lags even while multiple devices are connected at the same time.You will find significant improvement in connection if you have a WiFi 6 enabled device. In terms of coverage, AX10 should be fine for any 3BHK apartment. There is a promised firmware update coming for AX10 which will enable ...

You are getting Confused Michael!
Sorry Michael but I don't think you understand how it works, this is not a Modem/Router, it is a Router only which means that it needs a modem connected to it to get the internet that it then routes...it most certainly DOES support FTTN!!! And all other internet connection types! As long as the modem has a pan port and you connect it to the WAN port of this router it will work. I have FTTN and this router is currently working better than my internet ever has through an FTTN modem!... Show more
