    375 customers mention "Wireless router"304 positive71 negative

    Customers appreciate the wireless router. They say it has good WiFi 6 technology, with a main wireless network and an isolated guest network.

    160 customers mention "Ease of use"131 positive29 negative

    Customers appreciate the router's user-friendly interface and app. They find it simple to set up and manage through the Tether app. The user-friendly interface allows for detailed control over network settings, from basic operations to advanced routing. The smart app tracks connections.

    "...if your needs are as mentioned above, simple to use, access setup on line for any changes, no muss and no fuss." Read more

    "...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...." Read more

    "...The tether app is pretty cool for basic setup. I also have requirements for static IP based on mac address and port forwarding...." Read more

    "...and I really can't say enough about the setup process - the UI is EXTREMELY friendly." Read more

    619 customers mention "Signal strength"417 positive202 negative

    Customers have mixed opinions about the router's signal strength. Some find it provides strong WiFi coverage with stable signals in both bands. However, others report issues like weak signals, issues connecting to the internet, and problems blocking communication between computers. The router also doesn't provide 5G signal, only 2.5G.

    "...works very well, never dropped signal in our 1700 sq ft single story home (plus lower level), always recovered after any outages with no drama of..." Read more

    "...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..." Read more

    "...Install is simple, footprint is fairly small and it's not dropping out at all." Read more

    190 customers mention "Reliability"116 positive74 negative

    Customers have mixed opinions about the router's reliability. Some find it dependable, well-built, and stable, working without issues related to ISP. Others report issues like random failures, weak WiFi in certain areas, and antenna breakage.

    Huge Improvement in wireless speeds and over-all wifi signal strength and coverage!
    5 out of 5 stars
    Huge Improvement in wireless speeds and over-all wifi signal strength and coverage!
    Update 5/21/24:We just dropped our ISP and went with a new Fiber Optic 1GB ISP just on our street. no matter if you have a cable modem or a Fiber Optical connection, they all terminate to a standard ethernet connection. Our old cat 5e/6 ethernet cable works fine with this and were are getting ~800mbps upload and 725 mbps download speeds on wifi. (wired ethernet will almost always be fastest, but, our speeds are excellent for our wifi setup with the AX3000). I swapped out the WAN cable from my old Motorola cable modem, plugged in the ethernet cable from our Fiber Optic box, rebooted the AX3000 and bingo, back in business. It was that easy. The tech doing the installation here said he wished others would choose the right Router for higher speed internet services and he said he knows about the TP-Link routers and that the AX3000 was a great choice for our new internet service.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------After about 10 years with an apple airport extreme that was working well, but, was outdated and no longer supported with firmware updates by Apple nor have adequate range in our house for Wi-Fi, I decided to look on Amazon for a newer and higher speed Wi-Fi six router.I tried a couple of other brands of wifi 6 routers, but, they just did not work out that well and lacked the desired GUI and setup screens I wanted. The TP Link AX 3000 router was my next choice to try and its GUI, setup and performance has been superb since set up.We use Xfinity\Comcast Internet service and our plan has a maximum of 450 Mbps download/12 mbps upload and right after setup, this router is seeing about 150 Mbps more speed using wireless in the house then AirPort Extreme could do even standing next to it. The AX3000 gives us our plan speed!I tried many varied settings for the airport extreme to see if I could get more speed out of Wi-Fi including trying different channels for 2.4 and 5 GHz, as well as a few changes for ipv4 and ipv6 settings and nothing I've tried could raise the numbers at all and at best, speeds were best about 250 mbps for Wi-Fi when within a room away from or even standing next to the router. The attached pic for a speed test for the AX3000 was done a room away from the AX3000 which is mounted high in a closet situated in the middle of the house (in a hallway) for best signal everywhere inside. The wifi speeds I am seeing now are close to what my wired ethernet speeds are and at the speed our plan is. That's impressive!What I'm seeing with the AX3000 for general Wi-Fi speeds are between 400-425 Mbps. I am also noticing a huge improvement in the Wi-Fi signal strength over-all. I can be at either end of my house or even out in the backyard now and still have plenty of signal and Internet speed to use.I could not do that with the airport extreme in which the wifi signal strength fell off much quicker by distance whether I was in the house, or in my backyard (where there was a weak signal to connect to, if I could connect at all from outdoors).We have a metal enclosed patio room and due to the metal walls, the Airport Extreme just could not reach there well out there from its closet/hallway location and internet speeds were reduced to around 200 or sometimes a lot lower mbps. I used a wifi extender out there as needed (with the Airport Extreme), but, as tested, the AX3000 has very adequate signal and speeds out there as well. Wifi speeds drop just a little out there using the AX3000 at around 375 mbps vs the 400+ mbps indoors and away from any metal. Impressive! No extender needed for my setup.A few reviewers noted, there's some special settings required for the AX3000 and some cable company ISPs. We have Comcast/Xfinity and I ended up having to mimic the MAC address of our old router to be able to finally connect. Having the ability to use default, clone or a unique MAC address on the AX3000 made the setup so much easier. Comcast does have an app where you can switch over to the new router basically where you will update the MAC address (to the Comcast server for your internet connection) for the new router so it works with your cable modem. I chose to work around that so I wouldn't have to use any app and that works better for me if I ever have to put the airport extreme temporarily back into use because I'll be using the same MAC address as I am now.Some of the routers I tried previously had no way to just put in their IP address and do the setup using a browser. These routers required an app to setup the router. The AX3000 lets you set up either directly at it's IP address using a browser or by using the free TP-Links "TETHER" app.One feature I really like in the advanced settings for the AX3000 is that you can choose either to have the IPV4 and IPV6 channels separate (using two separate WiFi network names for the 2.4 and 5 GhZ) or combine them into just one name and the router in that case will choose which one (2.4 or 5 GhZ) to connect to based on the signal quality, the device wifi capabilities and the location of your devices. My air airport extreme only allowed a separate 2.4 and 5 GHz Network to select from, but, with the AX3000 you can combine both into one (network name) and let the Router handle the best and fastest way to connect to each of your devices. That's nice for me because one name to connect you for Wi-Fi and your Network is all you need. It just simplifies things a little bit. The setup for the Guest network is similar.The AX3000 does have a very significant amount of adjustment and settings in the advanced mode, and I did change a couple things there, including the DNS servers that we normally use. Are use open DNS servers, using a primary and a secondary DNS and I put those into the router settings so that's where I'm connecting to (and then to Comcast). I have found better Internet speed overall when I'm using a public DNS rather than going directly to Comcast service. Your mileage may vary!I also use TunnelBear VPN here and the AX3000 has the option to basically always login and connect through the TunnelBear VPN servers which is really nice. Again because it's a much outdated model, my Apple Airport Extreme did not allow that but with the AX3000 I have the option of having a VPN on 100% using the router to connect to the VPN servers and not having to deal with turning it on it on each device using an app...very nice!Be advised that typically using a VPN will slow down your Internet connection a little because then you have a third-party access point in the loop that you're utilizing for your connection, but, for me, I have found that my VPN service does a superb job of keeping the Internet speed up substantially over a few others that I tried in the past which degraded speeds substantially. Given the large speed improvement using the AX3000, I'm fine with loosing some speed with a VPN. Also be aware the AX3000 has a full VPN setup that can b used to connect to your VPN through your router, rather then the need to install and use an app on each of your devices. VPNExress is supported in the AX3000 internally so if you have an active account with VPNExpress, you are good to go! My TunnelBear does not support router installation for it's app so I'm still using their app on each device to turn it on or off.Moving to a new router is always a bit of trial and error and tweaks to get it right and become familiar with a new GUI and protocol on the new router. The AX3000 took some time to tweak, but, once that's done, you going to be very happy with the maximum speed it will give you as well as the great signal coverage it has.Be sure to back up each time you change some settings. Its far easier to do that then try to remember all the changes you just made that did not work out. Backup and restore is the way to go.So far, so good and I'm very impressed with this new wifi 6 router. I'll update this review as required while this model is still current and available to buyers.5 Stars all around!

      I recently purchased this TP-Link AX3000 WiFi 6 Router (Archer AX55 Pro) to upgrade our LAN even though our Asus N300 has been working just fine with no drama for many years and still does. I can recommend both sold here on Amazon.
      The TP-Link Archer AX55 Pro takes things to the next level for WiFi 6 and the router' s many features and settings. I venture to say the Asus N300 will still do fine for most homes streaming and networking needs. It is easier to set up than the AX55 Pro.
      On to the AX55 Pro - - -
      So this is just my initial comments and set up so far. Will update if needed.
      Setup to the TP-Link Archer AX55 Pro is simple using the recommended app, but I chose to use the cable connected method to a spare laptop which provides easier access to detailed settings. It went ok, but advise to go slow and careful to assure what you want to enable and disable. Disable OFDMA if you want the best speeds.
      I was then able to get speeds off the wired ports usually higher than what Spectrum provides. Good on them.
      Going wireless . . It upped the speed to even our Roku devices 95 to 110 Mbps.
      Laptops fared generally better as well but a bit lower. All the dozen or more client devices benefited to one degree or another depending on their capabilities.
      So for now, the AX55 Pro is a go. It does take more time to power up or re-start.
      Also, unsure of whether it will pick up ok after an outage of main power or ISP loss?
      Seemed a like I may need to reset and then restart both modem and AX55 Pro if mains power goes out based on my initial setup, but it could just be me fussing with things.

      Previously, I was using the Asus N300 WiFi Router (RT-N12_D1) for several years and it served well and still would serve my purposes for 2 heavily used home laptops, a couple of tablets, 3 Roku, 2 internet radios total of about a dozen or so devices plus cell phone use while home.
      The Asus :https://www.amazon.com/Wireless-N300-Technology-streaming-performing-RT-N12/dp/B00DWFPDNO
      works very well, never dropped signal in our 1700 sq ft single story home (plus lower level), always recovered after any outages with no drama of having to reset it or Spectrum supplied modem. It is great if your needs are as mentioned above, simple to use, access setup on line for any changes, no muss and no fuss.

      Several "professionals" over the years have belittled tp-link routers, claiming they are low quality. My last one was an Archer that is still functional today as a backup but just got outdated. I then switched to Netgear based on these professional recommendations and it worked fine for five years but again, time for an upgrade (just bought three new Firestick 4K Max and wanted the best signal) and the TP-Link AX3000 was on sale and so decided to use again since I had such good luck the last time.

      Install was simple (did not use the Tether app, did it the fashioned way), had to change the router address since a lot of my devices have a set IP address and my old router used 192.168.1.1 and TP-Link uses 192.168.0.1 but it was simple. Actually the whole setup was simple, everything worked first time out and I'm getting significantly better speeds on devices using the A protocol. My old B/G/N devices didn't change much, maybe a 10% increase in speed but that's not the fault of the router. I'm getting my full 200mbps downloads on the A protocol devices and I've never gotten those speeds wirelessly. Now, my VPN does cut that speed down by a significant percentage but always has. I do not use the free ancillary services that TP-Link offers with at least this router, prefer my own security setup and VPN configurations but it's there if anyone wants them.

      If this router holds up, I will once again say that I think TP-Link, for homeowner use, is an excellent and economical choice. Install is simple, footprint is fairly small and it's not dropping out at all.

      [updated]

      I updated from a TP-Link Archer C7. I have an Arris SB8200 modem. Here are a few notes.

      The AX55 signal strength seems a little better, especially in the 5 GHz band. It also adds 802.11ax and WPA3 security as well as "Smart Connect" which allows you to combine 2.4G and 5G bands under a single SSID and have the router decide which to use with each client. You could just give the separate bands the same SSID with any router. In that case each client would decide which band to use. The router login no longer uses a username, only a password.

      I have now tried "Smart Connect" with 2 TP-Link routers in 2 different houses and I am not impressed. On both I eventually had to separate the 2 bands. It was especially dysfunctional on mobile devices (phones, laptops, etc.). It doesn't seem to switch bands very easily as you move around. Even stationary
      devices seem to bounce inexplicably between the two bands, which can have very different signal strengths.

      The wi-fi encryption settings can be a problem depending on your equipment. The options are:

      None
      WPA2-PSK[AES]
      WPA2-PSK[AES]+WPA-PSK[TKIP]
      WPA3-Personal
      WPA3-Personal+WPA2-PSK[AES]
      WPA2-Enterprise
      WPA/WPA2-Enterprise

      I wouldn't touch either WPA or TKIP. Previously I used only WPA2-PSK[AES]. I would have liked to have used WPA3-Personal+WPA2-PSK[AES] here, but I have an older 2.4G printer with WPA/WPA2[AES or TKIP]. It would not connect unless the router was set to WPA2-PSK[AES] or WPA2-PSK[AES]+WPA-PSK[TKIP]. In the end, I set the 2.4G band to WPA2 (only) and the 5G band to WPA2+WPA3.

      Configuration and Installation
      -----------------------------------
      Installing the router was pretty straightforward. I turned off wi-fi on my laptop, wired it (DHCP) to one of the router's client ports, browsed to 192.168.0.1, and logged in (password is on the bottom of the router). Alternatively, you could leave your wi-fi enabled and connect to the router's default SSID, also on the bottom. Doing it over wi-fi is just a bit more risky.

      I configured it entirely through the web interface using the Advanced menus. I changed the password and IPv4 address and left it with a temporary SSID while walking through all the other settings. After that was done, I shut down my old router, changed the temporary SSID and passcode on the new router to the permanent ones, shut down the new router, and connected it to my modem.

      I have not as yet found anything I can do with the Tether app that I can't do, and more easily, with the web interface.

      The router would not connect to the internet when I powered it on until I remembered that the modem has to be rebooted to pick up the router's MAC address. It won't connect to a new router until then. I powered off both, powered up the modem, waited until it was fully up, and then powered up the router. It connected immediately and has been running fine since then.

      Once connected, I reviewed the internet (IPv4 and IPv6) status and settings. For Comcast, at least in this area, the IPv6 WAN connection type is Dynamic IP(SLAAC/DHCPv6) with DHCPv6 and prefix delegation selected. The LAN type is SLAAC+Stateless DHCP. I prefer to use Google's public DNS servers (8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4, 2001:4860:4860::8888, and 2001:4860:4860::8844), I've set those to override the Comcast-provided defaults.

      Performance
      ---------------

      I have 400 Mbps Comcast service with an Arris SB8200 modem. The modem indicates DOCSIS 3.1 service on the downstream side, but not on the upstream side. My laptop wireless NIC is an Intel AC7265 dual-band b/g/n/ac adapter.

      On a wired connection to the router, I get download speeds of 475+ Mbps. 480 would be the most I would expect given Comcast's typical practice of over-provisioning by 20%.

      On 5G wi-fi with 40 MHz channels, I get 475 Mbps next to the router and about 20' away in the same room. I get 355 Mbps in the next room, which is 73% faster than with the Archer C7.

      On 2.4G wi-fi with 20 MHz channels, I get 100 Mbs in the next room and 45 Mbs 2 floors up on the opposite side of the house. That's 25% and 80% faster than with my Archer C7.

      Those who have unexpectedly slow wi-fi performance and who have "Smart Connect" enabled may be connected via the 2.4 GHz band without realizing it. Another reason not to use that feature.

      I live in a crowded wi-fi neighborhood with people who think it's a good idea to use 40 or 80 MHz
      channels in the 2.4 GHz band. Don't do that. It makes all your neighbors' performance worse and
      doesn't really help yours.

      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!

      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.
