TP-LinkArcher AX53 AX3000Mbps WiFi 6 Router, Gigabit VPN, Internet Booster, Ultra-Low Latency, EasyMesh, WPA3, Ideal for Gaming, Compatible With Alexa

Positives:* It works as advertised* Its UI is clear, super responsive, easy to use and informative.* Packed with a host of featuresNegatives:* None so farI replaced my internet provider's own-brand router (Virgin Media Hub 3.0) with this. I put the Hub 3.0 into 'modem mode' and connected this via ethernet cable and got it sorted pretty quick with the setup feature of the router.This product boasts a lot of additional features and they're all very easy to setup and work as advertised. For example, it can easily setup 3 separate WIFI networks for you, your main network, a guest network, and a IoT network (for your smart home devices) to keep everything separate and stop any compromised guest/smart devices from allowing anyone access to your main devices.There is also the 'tether' app you can download or free and link to the router to manage it from the mobile app. If you create an EasyMesh network (using other TP-Link wifi extenders that support EasyMesh) it can also manage the extender devices!Its got a lot of easy to use extra features such as per-device speed limits, setting priority devices, access point mode, as well as all the usual router config stuff.

Very good. After Virgin media speed increase bought to actually make use of that as Virgin Hub3 is useless didn't even notice a speed increase with that hub. Coverage is also much improved. Easy to set and use. Works well with my TP link extenders to create a mesh set up.

Signal has much improved. Using it with Three SIM. Signal on 100% on 4G LTE.Download speed around 20Mbps, and upload around 15Mbps. These are the maximum I got! Maybe it's my location. However, this works well with online TV.Same SIM on a phone will get 10Mbps and 0.2Mbps upload, so clearly this router improves speed.Overall, easy to setup, plug and play. WiFi speed isn't great, I used another WiFi as AP plugged into this router.

If you travel a lot, either with work, or with the family on holiday, this TP-Link TL-WR1502X Portable Router might just save your sanity. Before a family holiday, you can sit at home, with a cup of coffee and connect all the family devices, the phones, laptops, tablets, iPads, Steam Decks, portable printer etc. Then once you get to your destination, switching on the router will connect all the devices to a secure local network, the printer will see the laptop for example. Then all you need do is either plug the router in to the hotel ethernet port, or log in to the router's management page, scan the Wi-Fi networks, find the hotel guest network, connect the router, and viola, all your devices are now connected to the internet via the Portable Router. If you have not used a TP-Link device before, they have very intuitive menu interfaces. The one for the TL-WR1502X is particularly good, and even Muggles will be up and running in minutes. The other tech gobbledygook is handled by the router automatically. There are some really nice extra features offered by the TL-WR1502X. You can set up a router VPN (virtual private network), so if you were in a country that blocks say, Netflix, you can just swing your connection back to your home country, and enjoy all the entertainment accounts you have. You can even connect back in to your home network in your house, if you know what you are doing. So you could be on the far side of the Earth, but your devices all think they are back home. TP-Link also do an app called Tether. This app is very good, and lets you manage all your TP-Link devices, including the TL-WR1502X. You can do everything in Tether, from rebooting the device, to setting up your devices to either the 2.4Ghz or 5Ghz Wi-Fi channels, to maximise performance. You can even tell the router to give priority to the games consoles, if they are active. There are also all the usual parental controls, so internet connection can be time-limited to the children's devices, if you wish. And the beauty is, on your next family holiday, all you need do, is make one connection to the new hotel network/Wi-Fi, and you are up and running again. A good travel router like the TL-WR1502X is pretty much a vital necessity these days, for the travelling business person, or family holiday. Several YouTubers did full performance reviews of the TL-WR1502X. They found the radial signal strength to be good, and the router radiates a strong signal upwards. So, if you are renting a two-storey holiday house, the router is best placed centrally on the ground floor, for best coverage. The final feature, that might earn you some free drinks at the hotel bar, is the router offers a guest network feature. So, if you find yourself befriending the hotel neighbours, and they are not getting on well with the hotel Wi-Fi, you could set them up on a separate guest network from your travel router. The two networks will be completely separate from one another. Just make sure to get a free dinner out of it. Price versus performance versus features, the TL-WR1502X really is a no-brainer. Highly recommended.

Couldn't be happier with this device!As an IT Manager I was really pleased with the functionality of the advanced features as well as the optional extras. For non-IT users please understand that the optional extras are not required!It's a gorgeous unit, a mix of gloss and matt black, 4 aerieals that aren't oversized to look like they do more than they're actually doing. The power is a standard plug, no power brick inbetween the unit and the plug socket. The dept of the router means it fits on a nice slim table leaving room for other bits - picture to follow and will edit this bit out once uploaded.Setup is easy and very well guided, without intimidation, although it will try to get you to start a trial for optional extras you don't need, but they are good.I would recommend setting up the mobile app and adding the device so you can manage, if needed, without a computer. I would say it's almost on par with the Netgear Nighthawk app.Wifi range, strength and device distribution is incredible, down to being WIFI6, and I can't wait to renew my EoP devices to get the best out of the Ethernet ports.
