    Very happy so far with it's range and capacity.

    I had to replace an old Netgear unit that just didn't have the capacity or range to handle smart TVs and wireless cameras. I researched TPLink and decided on one that had the kind of range I need as well as being able to handle the traffic. I'm very happy so far. I used the Tether app to set it up. At first, it wouldn't connect to my computer. So, I reset and went through the steps again successfully. I may have reversed a couple of steps the first time. I am so happy with the range of this thing. I have a 2100 sq ft home with a detached garage with wireless cameras all over the outside. I cou

    AX1800 is fast, very good signal strength even through multiple walls.

    TP-Link WiFi 6 Router AX1800, great router, easy to install. Fast router, great signal strength even trough multiple walls. I bought this to replace my Netgear Nighthawk AC1750. With the nighthawk I was getting an average of 60~70Mbps download connecting to the 5Ghz band. With this router I'm getting 97Mbps, sometimes up to 200Mbps. Also my solved my Eufy doorbell connection to peer issue. I got a new Eufy doorbell as a warranty replacement, and I couldn't get it to connect to the chime, and could not finish the setup to get the doorbell to work. It connected to the router just find, but would

    Easy switchover...

    I finally replaced my middle of the road Buffalo router that was about 13 years old.Never had any issues but thought it's time to upgrade with all the wifi now used. Could not find a comparable Buffalo (may be no more?)...I settled on the tp-link wifi6. One of their newer offerings but at a reasonable price.Set up was a breeze using the phone app. Basically unplugging, re plugging, waiting for the reboots and it was good to go. I only get about 20 Mbps from spectrum so my tv/TiVo combo is connected with Ethernet. Still I was getting some dreaded hesitation (spinning circle) during some shows.

    Works great with the right settings

    When I first set up this router with my new modem, I was getting speed test readings of 230+mbps routinely. This is what I was getting with the Comcast combo unit that I had returned. After a couple of days, my speeds dropped dramatically. It was after I had fine tuned my settings. Something had affected my speeds. I called tech support which was a waste of time. Seems TP-Link farms their support out to a third world country where everyone speaks with a very heavy accent. Not to be racist or anything but I couldn’t understand much at all of what they were saying. Even then, they were of little

    Easy setup, strong signal & fast speeds

    I helped a friend and neighbor by installing this router. He was having signal and speed problems after he moved his computer from the first floor to the 2nd floor of his house. In addition, he was moving to a bedroom at the opposite end of his 2400 sq ft house from the modem & old router. The setup was fast - a little confusing between using an iOS app and then getting on his computer - but everything worked w/o reading a manual. Total time was about 15 min. to connect his computer, phone, iPad and a 2nd phone. At his computer, he was getting about 1 bar signal (flickering) with about 10 mps

    Nice router for the average modern home

    This router has excellent connectivity with both wired and wireless connections. The speed with wi-fi 6 is more than I need, but it is impressive. I have echos, rokus, smart tv's, light switches, electrical outlets, thermostats, computers, gaming consoles, printers, tablets, and cell phones all connected to it without any problems. The tether app works well on my phone an allows me the opportunity to make changes to the network if needed, however I mostly use it to see the routing table and note what's connected or not at any given time. Your average modern home with streaming televisions, cel

    Alexa skill is not implemented

    As a networking router this is great for my house. My WiFi used to be an Archer C9, an 802.11G access point for some devices that wouldn't work with the C9, and a power-line extender to get to the far reaches of the house.Now that I have the AX20, I only have 1 device. It is fully compatible with my older device (a wifi thermostat), and is strong enough to stream to the far reaches of my house. I love the simplification.I have always liked the TPLink Tether app on my phone for managing the router. I appreciate that this behaves as an appliance -- once configured it simply works...and that conf

    great router for the money, as long as you know what you are doing

    I love this router, as a computer tech it is important for me to have stability in my network. the biggest issue for most people is they do not know how busy their channel may be in their area, with a proper channel scanner you can dial in your 2.4g and 5g signal get the cleanest channel, do not use default as everyone does and the 5g and 2.4g channels in their area are usually quite crowded. make sure you go through all of your setting and test for stability and you will get the most out of your router. I love this router, ease of setup and ease of use are among the best. highly recommended
