TP-LinkAX6000 WiFi 6 Router(Archer AX6000) -802.11ax Wireless 8-Stream Gaming Router, 2.5G WAN, 8 Gigabit LAN Ports, MU-MIMO, 1.8GHz Quad-Core CPU

FIRST, THERE IS A SMALL POWER BUTTON ON ROUTER. The quick start guide does not mention it, and so at first I thought router was DOA. Outstanding One Mesh router! I had an ERRO 6+ router that was connected to a TP-link extender for an outdoor security camera, and would get intermittent drop outs of camera. Decided to try the TP-link AX6000 router, and no more drop outs! Also router works with the extender to give a One Mesh network, so great WiFi anywhere I go inside, or outside, my house! And TP-link has great phone support 24/7. And unlike ERRO 6+ with only one available ethernet port, the AX6000 has 8 so I can keep computer and music streamer plugged in all the time.

We have had this router for 5 years now. It gets used heavily (2 full time WFH, 2 kids streaming/gaming). It still receives updates and never has any issues.

I've just had this for a little over a week, but so far the results have been quite good. The wireless range is much better than we've had previously, and it includes 8 gigabit lan ports for fast wired performance. Installation was simple, done through any web browser. Took about 15 minutes to replace my old setup and get back on line.As with any good dual band wireless access point, you can give it separate SSIDs for each of the bands if necessary in your application.It's only been a week, so I can't comment on reliability, but so far it has been outstanding.

Very powerful signal. WiFi response times are clearly improved over my previous Eero 6 system. Main complaint - the password is hidden in tiny letters among other manufacturer's standard model number, etc. information on the bottom of the system. Start up requires me to input the password, and I had one from the T-Link app and the modem. Never thought to look where I accidently found it - After Hours of Trying to Get the System Running. They do not note in the instructions that the password in hidden there, and I only stumbled on it by accident. Was about to return the router. Glad I didn't send it back.Had other problems (I am quite experienced with computers) and the T-Link Support was fairly prompt and patient.

After two months of use, I have come to the conclusion that this is an excellent router.A couple of months ago, I placed the order to upgrade our home internet to AT&T gigabit fiber and knew that I wanted a solid, configurable WIFI router as the only device plugged into the AT&T equipment. This way, I could setup a Raspberry Pi as Pihole to block ads on my entire network and use MAC IDs to allow/deny access to any devices that tried to connect.There are videos on YouTube that review this router and give you a view into the the setup/config screens so, I won’t go into describing all of that. However, I will say that I feel the setup screens are intuitive and even if I did not have 20+ years’ experience in IT (programming, DBA, sys admin, etc.) I believe I could figure out how to make this router fit my needs. Whether you have that kind of background or not, the YouTube videos can be very helpful.Wired ConnectionsThe previous owner of my house had it wired with CAT6 cable (thank you!) and I added a couple of CAT8 cable runs so, I am currently using 6 of this routers’ 8 gigabit ports. Those cables give me wired connections to multiple gigabit switches throughout the house (bedroom, office, man cave, living room, etc.) where I have wired connections to multiple computers or smart TVs or gaming systems, etc.I could bore you with upload/download numbers but, instead, I will just say that everything runs faster or better now than it did before all my upgrades.My smart TV connects to YouTube (Pihole blocks the ads) and videos play smoothly. My PS4 used to take an hour to download free games and now takes a couple of minutes and my Xbox is the same. System patches take a minute to download. Online streaming services run smoothly and I have yet to see any “spinning wheels” as a video buffers in the middle of an action scene.WIFIBefore AT&T fiber, I had an AT&T Airties 4921 WIFI booster that did a great job improving the signal to a “dead spot” in the back of the house. I tried and failed to get the 4921 to work on my new equipment then realized the AX6000 had already solved the dead spot problem. I have WIFI cameras pointing towards the woods behind my house or from the woods back to the house and am getting a strong signal to all devices.The router is capable of WIFI 6 but currently none of our iPhones, iPads, MacBooks or laptops can use it. Nevertheless, I have not noticed any connectivity issues with any of our wireless devices.I do have one wireless, multifunction HP printer that will go to “sleep” after several hours of inactivity and may not wake up when I send a document to it from my smart phone. All I do is punch a button on it, it wakes up, accepts the document and everything is fine. This is probably a setup issue within the printer, and certainly not a WIFI problem, but has not been a big enough hassle for me to worry about it.Network MonitoringOne of the major things I wanted from this router is the ability to easily block devices on my network. I have a teenager who only needs occasional Internet access and I used both of the MAC IDs from their laptop (wired and wireless) to setup a weekly schedule for when it could/could not reach the Internet.I can see all wired/wireless devices on my network in the routers’ Basic or Advanced screens and this allows me to keep an eye on who is in my network.Overall, I have been very pleased with this router and highly recommend it.

Great router especially for a household with more than 20 devices! Definitely worth the money.
