Review: Update August 2020 - Reviewing model TP-LINK AX11000: Downgraded my review to 1-star. When I bought this router, I bought it to replace a very buggy ASUS AX11000, which is mentioned below. I also have a review posted on that product's page. When I purchased both of these, I did so to "future proof" my home. Since then I've acquired three AX devices and no longer have AC devices, I have devices that use the 2.4GHz network however they are "smart" appliances so I don't really care. When I purchased this model from TP-LINK, I did so after research. The TP-LINK website said that WPA3 was "coming soon" and that OFDMA would also be "coming soon". Upon unpacking and turning it on initially, it updated and OFDMA was available. But no WPA3. I went back to TP-LINK's website at the end of June and the "coming soon" labels were removed. They mentioned that this model was now WPA3 enabled. I work in IT so I understand the importance of wireless security and WPA3 is a much more secure authentication protocol with better encryption. WPA2 was cracked a while ago so there was not much I could do, but when a new product with better security came out I thought it would be worth the investment. Anyway, I checked TP-LINK's website for the firmware update to enable WPA3 because the router's config page was saying it was already up to date but the feature was nowhere to be seen. I contact TP-LINK's support on their forums. I mentioned that they were saying this was already available but no firmware updates to be seen. Next day I tried to open the post I made on their forum but it wasn't there. They deleted it!!!!!!!!! I created a new post again, asking where was the firmware enabling WPA3 as their own website was saying it was available on this model. And again, the post was deleted. So what's my take on it? This company stinks. I had problems with the built-in DHCP server on this router, so I disabled it and used isc-dhcp-server on my raspberry pi to serve addresses on the network, it's flawless and I could live with that. Then I found out that TP-LINK blocks SSH access to the router. WHAT? Their proprietary app that can be used to control the device uses SSH to connect so why would they do such a thing? Clearly they have stuff to hide. Due to buggy DHCP causing devices failing to join the network (as no connectivity without IP/Gateway/DNS settings, due to the promise of WPA3 pre-purchase and then deleting my posts and doing false-advertising, and due to blocking SSH which is really shady, I returned this device as not fit for purpose, because it was sold with a feature which was not delivered. I invested in a Ubiquiti UniFi Dream Machine which by itself is great, but I also purchased a UniFi AP-AC-HD for the 2nd floor. Now I have flawless connectivity with no issues whatsoever. The Dream Machine can do Intrusion Prevention at full Gigabit speeds, it's amazing. It's not AX but you know what? It's not worth the trouble. After spending 350+ on these Chinese AX routers which are full of bugs, no doubt contain backdoors (why would they lock SSH for you but not for them... don't want customers to check what's lurking in the firmware?), and where the company finds it acceptable to delete anything that looks critical, I decided to give my money to Ubiquiti which is a reputable vendor and I don't regret. Of course, if it fails I'll come back to update. Please do not purchase this device. AX is not worth it. Get a UniFi Dream Machine which has a AC Wave2 chip capable of 160MHz channels if that's what you want. It doesn't have WPA3 but Ubiquiti doesn't lie and misrepresent their features or treat their customers with such contempt as deleting their support queries. The beauty of a UniFi system is that you can easily add more access points to increase your WiFi range and when Ubiquiti launches their AX access points I just have to buy that and replace the existing one... No hassles, and trust me the configuration possibilities are endless compared to these trashy and terribly looking "gaming" routers full of marketing lies. Original review (5 stars): My review is for TP-LINK Archer AX11000. I don't understand why Amazon aggregates star ratings for ALL variants, so if the lowest priced variant is terrible but the highest priced variant is great, you will look at the star ratings and think they are both bad. I wrote a review for the ASUS GT-AX11000 - feel free to see that one. It is AWFUL. Three replacements later and several firmware updates that took months to arrive, it is still full of bugs, devices drop connection, signal is unstable, generally a terrible product. I decided to give TP-LINK a go and wow I am glad I did. From the start, even putting it together it's a pleasure. The antennas are not twisted and cannot come loose, they are pushed in, and are therefore optimized in the best way possible since TP-LINK knows what's the best position. Unlike the ASUS AX11000, you do not have to fiddle with the antennas, you set it and forget it. I don't mind that they have red accents, they work and that's all I care about. There are fewer options on the setup GUI if compared to ASUS, however it JUST WORKS. The ASUS AX11000 has many options most of them are buggy and don't work well, so what is the point? I have found that ASUS is fond of doing this - marketing a thousand things but they are terribly supported. In 2016 I purchased a ASUS Rampage V Edition 10 motherboard, the most expensive at the time to use with my 5960x processor. That board had several BIOS updates which caused all sorts of issues, especially with USB ports. It took ASUS until around 2019 to make it stable - 3 years.... absolutely insane. You simply do not release a buggy product into the market just to shout "FIRST!!". ASUS loves the marketing aspect of things, but not the support one which is the most important. They care about being first to release and selling stuff, but they don't care that it works, as long as their review samples are carefully tuned so that they get good scores in magazines or YouTube then they're golden. I found that this is the case for their routers also. Why am I spending so much time talking about ASUS when this is a TP-LINK review? Well, because if you were like me you are researching which one is going to do the job and I want you to know that I tried the ASUS router for almost 6 months, waited for updates, applied them, and when it would fix one thing it would break others, so please don't make the same mistake and support that awful company with your money. The TP-LINK AX11000 will simply work out of the box. An example is my Nest doorbell, it would drop connection like crazy on the ASUS AX11000, but it's been running flawlessly with no drops on the TP-LINK. The most shocking thing is that both routers use the exact same Broadcom chipset, which is the radio chip that makes WiFi 6 work inside these routers. So the issue is entirely software related. ASUS programmers are just incapable of coding. Speed-wise this is not much different than the ASUS model since as I said above, they use the same radio chip to make the WiFi signals, however this is stable, so I am very happy with this purchase. Oh, and the UI is also more responsive, not to mention this has 8 Gigabit ports. This TP-LINK Archer AX11000 is worth the price. Signal range is good. Just one thing: to get the most out of this, you will need to use AX clients like the latest top Samsung or iPhone models, and on your laptop any PCI card with the Intel AX200 chip. You need to set the TP-LINK to use 160MHz on both bands, and set the channels manually rather than leaving on Auto. I picked channel 36 for the first 5GHz band, and channel 100 for the 2nd 5GHz band. It will allow clients that use AC/WiFi 5 with no issues. It will also let N/WiFi 4 connect no problem. If you leave everything on Auto then you are likely not going to get the full speed on offer, and bear in mind it depends on how thick your walls are, distance, etcetera.
