TP-Link AX6000 Wi-Fi 6 Router (Archer AX80) – Dual Band, 2.5 Gbps WAN/LAN Port, 8K Streaming,Wireless Internet Router with OneMesh and AP Mode, Long Range Coverage, WPA3, Beamforming

I had intermittent problems of every kind with multiple generations of Velop routers. Including issues with cameras loading quickly. I'm going to tell you what I wish someone had told me years ago. Buy a router with AT LEAST 1148 Mbps on the 2.4 Ghz band. This means it has 4x4 streams. (Most routers are only 2x2 on the 2.4GHz band and most cameras are still on 2.4GHz at this point.)This router is the best deal on a 1148 Mbps router I could find, that was also a major brand, on Amazon. It works flawlessly. The setup was quick and easy as well. The QR code didn't work so I had to manually enter the connection data, but that took less than a minute.This router should work for you. The price is right as well. Buy it.

Works well!

This router was delivered in a very large carton with heavy padding inside to protect the large but not so hefty device. This is the third TP-Link router I have purchased in the last seven years, so I am used to their quality and performance, which is first rate. It replaces an Archer30 box, so setting it up to take over the already expansive network of devices in my home was a breeze. I used the web interface on my PC because I am used to it, and the user interface is pretty straightforward and expansive. Having a speed test button on the Network App tab is an especially nice touch too. The first task I had to execute after getting it in place was to upgrade the firmware, which was easy and quick due to the very resourceful (pun intended) TP-Link support page.I decided on the replacement because the connected device count in my home has been steadily growing recently, and I felt I needed more capacity and future proofing. The ability to create a separate IoT network is one of the things that helped me decide to upgrade to this level. I initially tried setting device priority using the QoS feature, but that seemed to cause a few dropouts, so I turned it off and haven't gotten any since.When I first checked the speed on my main PC which is in the same room as the router, the download speed jumped to the 390 - 330 range (on my 300 Mbps Spectrum internet) and settled down to a final read of 355Mbps. The upload speed peaked at 12 Mbps. Speeds generated on devices farthest away from the device stayed in the 270+ Mbps/9+ Mbps (download/upload) range, which is very good.One of the main duties I have expected from my routers over the years is to be able to serve USB connected drives on the local network so I can access them from other network devices. This router recognized my four USB SSD drives connected through a Sabrent DC powered hub plugged into the router's USB port nicely - once I realized the hub needed DC power to the hub to handle the load.I have used other routers over the years and have found TP-Link routers to be the most reliable and feature rich ones. Highly recommendedUPDATE:I feel the need to mention this because it may save someone some frustration. Speaking about those four external USB drives attached to the router, I recently replaced one of the older drives with a larger one, thinking that I could just hot swap the drives with no problem. Actually, it was only after I rebooted the router by unplugging it and plugging it back in that it would recognize any of them again. Once that was done, the drives reappeared in the list of USB drives attached, and the network drives were available to be shared. A word to the wise: select a suitable time to add or replace a drive so you can perform the reboot without inconveniencing your network users.

Did not work for me on a new Spectrum 1 Gig service. Not sure if it was some kind if incompatibility with Spectrum or if the unit itself was defective. I tried very hard to get it to work but just could not get it going. Sprctrum's router worked fine odes not have the range this one should have. Sent it back within 2 days of receipt and it took over 2 weeks to get my money back; should have accepted a gift card or money returned to my account instead of refund back to original method of payment.

Great range and gives a perfect signal. It was a little expensive but worth the money. I have no complaints and never once have I had a dropped signal.

We have been paying for 1gig speeds for over a year. If I wasn't within feet of our service providers router, speeds would struggle to hit 300MB. Got this router in hopes of getting closer to the speeds we pay for. Performed speed test in every room of our home including the garage and was very happy with the results. Speeds are now exceeding 1gig in every location. Setup was also fast and easy.

This router is really good quality. I'm so happy that I could get such a great router for just over a hundred bucks. Gotta give it a big thumbs-up! And the internet speed is super fast too.

Easy setup via the Tether app. However, even with naming the 2 and 4G bands the same as the router it replaced (and using the same password), it still took a couple of hours of getting HomeKit devices to respond. It finally all worked out, but the process should have been a bit more seamless.
