Title: Better range and performance than my nighthawk
Review: I recently upgraded to to this router and I couldn't be more pleased. What drew my attention was this router boasts Wi-Fi 6 technology and a quad-core processor with 512MB of memory. From my own daily use, it became evident this router significantly outperformed my previous Nighthawk X4S R7800 / AC2600 router. One of the most notable improvements is the router's range. The AX6000 has a much longer reach than my former Nighthawk X4S. I used to operate two Nighthawk X4S routers in a bridge configuration to cover my entire home. However, the TP-Link AX6000 effortlessly handles the job, delivering better range and performance than my previous Nighthawk configuration. Currently, I have 11 devices connected to my router, including smartphones, iPads, two MacBook computers, printers, and Ring cameras, and impressively, the AX6000 manages all these devices flawlessly. There are no connectivity issues, even with multiple devices running simultaneously. Moreover, the ease of setup and the reliability of the connection have been fantastic. So far, the router has been a reliable workhorse, handling heavy traffic without any hiccups. Time will tell how well holds up, but so far I'm very impressed.

Title: Solid Signal, Incredible Range
Review: This is the best Wi-Fi router/AP I have ever owned. I am using it in AP mode, so I can't comment on the advance features, but here's why I like this Archer AX80: I have a lot of devices throughout my home, between family member devices, IoT Smart home devices and security cameras. Previously I had to use 3 separate APs to get full coverage, and I found the signals were not stable, and dropped frequently. I was very close to going for an expensive mesh system, when I read all the positive reviews on this one and decided to give it a try. This thing is incredible. It can easily handle the entire house full of devices with just this one router. Coverage and range are amazing. Signal is strong and stable in both 2.4 and 5ghz bands. There are a few devices out in my garage that always had problems with weak signals, and now they are working flawlessly and have a very strong signal. Noticeable speed difference on the 5ghz band for all my streaming devices. Videos load extremely fast. Like all TP-Link products, it was an easy and intuitive setup.

Title: Nice router
Review: We were using the cable company provided router and have for years. It provided no service to my shop area, 100-150 or so feet from where the router is located. Ditched the cable router, bought this one, and blazing speeds in the shop. Was a breeze to set up, no problems at all. If I were to ever buy another router, I'd look for this brand. We have 2 streaming services, 10 cameras, 3 phones, 7 computers, and 3 tablets connected to it and all receive a great signal. The 3 mobile phones depend on WIFI calling as we don't get phone service at the house - which woks great. You can also download an app with it that checks speed and other things.The only drawback which wasn't really an issue for us is that it wouldn't work with our cable landline phones. So we had to disconnect that service.

Title: Great router but horrendous manufacturing support
Review: Purchased new router from Amazon. Recvd router in perfect condition. The QUICK SETUP Guide is clear and precise with photos as guide. I followed the SETUP Guide precisely.... It's very simple. I could not get the router to broadcast internet wifi signal even though the router informed me I had inbound wifi to the router. So I started again from beginning.... Still no broadcasted wifi. I attempted to contact support. THERE IS NO SUPPORT. no phone number just chat. Chat dropped twice by support member which infuriated me. So I walked away from the installation and started again a 3rd time an hour later. This is a plug N play basic set up..... 3rd time it worked after completing the same process. Also the app (required to download) is a little squirrley. After 2.25 hours I completed installation that should have been 15 minutes at most. Be patient with the install. Another thing is once completely installed and you attempt to connect to the new wifi signal REBOOT your DEVICES (phone, TVs, computer, laptop, etc). I have 4 big screen tvs, 2 laptops. 5 tablets.... None would connect without rebooting each device. (this could be a normal procedure I don't know). The great thing is the wifi signal strength and speed is fantastic. Speed is 148mbps to 151mbps consistently everywhere in my home. Follow the instructions on where to place the router. I placed my router 8 feet up on top of an large hutch. I think that helps the signal strength.

Title: Running very well TP-Link AX6000 Wi Fi Router
Review: I wanted a new Router, as I work from home and my existing Wi-Fi router was not cutting the mustard. Too much buffering in the middle of a movie, and Teams Calls dropping out due to poor bandwidth. That not so old router is going into the trash. My Internet connection through to the Modem is fine.I felt positive reading the reviews on this TP-Link and it was on Sale, so I took the plunge. This is running great thus far. I tested band width on an HTPC I have 2 rooms away, and I was getting the full network speed over Wi Fi. This is fantastic.The initial set up was a little confusing, and took a bit longer than anticipated, due to Operator error. I am setting this up strictly through my desk top, and not the mobile app. I just do not need another mobile app. This seems to be working very well, with a strong signal through the house and very happy with this purchase.

Title: Very fast
Review: I upgraded the speed at my house but my old router was broadcasting at 1/2 of what I was paying for. I took advantage of the Prime Days deal for this device.Setup was easy with the Tether app and i immediately saw a jump in broadcast speed. From 500 to 777 immediately.Range is better also.

Title:
Review: I bought this in Australia, and what arrived does not match the product in the pictures. I did some searching online and from everything I can find, it's the same router on the inside. I think the seller should put an image of the version they are selling though to avoid confusion.With that out of the way, I got this to replace my telstra router to help handle all my connected devices better, and to get wifi signal out to the back of our property for cctv. I found i could use them both by connecting the telstra router directly to the main NBN box and switching the wifi off, then using this router connected via a data cable to service the back of our property with wifi. I watched YouTube to work out how to connect them together - I didn't need to in the end as it automatically sets itself up as a secondary router, so it doesn't clash with the main one. I've been running my internet with this set up for a few weeks now, and I haven't had any issues
