TPLINK AX50 AX3000 WIFI ROUTER | 4 MONTHS REVIEW
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 авг 2020
- This is a long term review of TP Link's latest wifi6 router AX50 also known as AX3000. I have included the speed and range test of both 5Ghz and 2.4Ghz wireless bands.
This is a good value for money wifi6 router considering its features.

brother thanx for the video, i watched lots of reviews for this unite and ur video was the most helpful 1 especially in the range test with walls
keep up the good work
Nicely done review and clearly demonstrates real world performance. Thanks for taking the time for us.
Thank you 😊
great video bro!! appreciate the quality and honest review..
Nice review and thanks for all the info, I’m getting the TP-Link AX50 for my apartment too.
Glad it helped
Great review! Nice to see a router review where you tell us your service speed. Helps us know what to look for when you run a speed test. Also thanks for reviewing the product for 4 months before publishing a review. I feel a person would have a much better overall feeling of how a product like this really works and holds up over time. I hope when the newer WiFi 6E routers come around you review one of them. Again great review. Take care!!! By the way I wish we had those internet speeds available around my house!!!! Take care.
Thanks 😊
Great video man.
U earned a sub😉
Thanks 😊
Such good quality video
Thanks for review
Man respect !!!
This is one of the best speedtests comparison I´ve ever seen
Thanks. Glad it helped 😊
@@GTCREATIONZZ but why do we have to sit for 8 minutes and watch Speed test run? why not just show a table or a few graphs, and point out the interesting results. 7 of the 8 minutes wasted, but besides this, a good and useful review.
Have ordered my ax50 and waiting for delivery.
Thanks for the tip. Some people expect to see full speed test rather than seeing the final result.
Awesome vid.
Glad you enjoyed it
thank you for showing 2.4Ghz speed this is all i need to know
Them most detailed & In-depth review on RUclips! Really appreciate the 4k video quality as well. I have 1 gbps internet...will you recommend this AX50 to me?
Thanks. If I get a second chance, I would try something from asus.
@@GTCREATIONZZ Do u mean it's not recommended for me?
For a 1gig connection, I wouldn't recommend.
@@GTCREATIONZZ what's your internet speed?
1gig down 500mbps up
Band Steering & Router Steering does the TP Link Ax50 model it have this option ❓️
Which means it will automatically swith to the 2.4ghz band when we go far from router & switch back to 5ghz faster band once I'm closer to it
HI, I was wondering how much do you pay for the tower bill? because i was wondering if my speed is so low because of that.
How do you get them speeds I have the same router and done exactly what you have and I’m not getting them speeds router is in modem mode
Great video.
Do you recommend this wifi router for a 100mbps Railwire internet connection?
Shouldn't be an issue. You can consider AX20 or AX10 too
Hi. Excellent video. I have been using the same router for 1 year. Recently, I got an upgrade on my Internet speed (went from 30 to 200 mb) but I have had issues as the Internet speed speed drops significantly when the router is 1 floor away (I go downstairs in a standard home). Did you have the same problem?
I couldn't check as I live in single storey building. Speed drop can be expected. You can try positioning the antenna in horizontal direction instead of vertical.
@@GTCREATIONZZ Yeah, speed drop is expected but when it drops, is around 10% of total speed. Is way too slow but I will try positioning the antenna horizontal. thanks for your help
Good work
Thanks😊
Can someone help? My archer ax50 has been disconnecting to the internet. I would have to reset it or power off and on so frequently to acesss wifi.
What is your broadband mbps recharge you did
Thanks
Thank you for this video, could you make a video on how to step by step on how to setup the TP-Link AX50 (AX3000) router? please make it slowly so we can follow you.
Hi thanks. The set up is very simple like any other router. If you find the instruction too fast, please pause the video.
Great Review Sir. Does your TP LINK AX3000 Router Gets Heats UP while you use it? Thanks
Not very much.
It gets hot, uncomfortably hot in comparison to other routers. Also the power consumption is atrocious - 12-15W with 5 devices connected. People are reporting reliability issues after about a year - restarts and dropped connections. It overheats - dust gets in the the thermal degradation will push the cooling solution to its limits. The only reliable way to run AX50 is to put a fan on it. Just get AX20 or if you need more performance, AX73.
EDIT: I just connected Archer AX73. Much better signal strength - medium transmit power is basically the same as high in AX50 and the power draw is 6W, which is less than half of the AX50.
@@Quettesh
Please, do you know which is the speed average of the USB port 2.0 in Ax20? I read that, with a hard drive attached, just get 33 mb/s. Too slow. I need a router to attach a server with a very better performance than that. Thanks
I'm in the US so I did have a little problem with your dialect (you would with mine too: ). Your review was great, but I'm not sure what problem you had with the cellphone app? I will be using the web to connect and change settings. Can I get rid of QOS and Mu-MIMO if I want -- is it easy by computer not cellphone app? Thank you!
You can set your router using web. No issues. Qos only be controlled using app. Unless you wont go to that option and change things, you can still use your phone app to do the other settings.
Very good 🙂☺️🙏
Any heating issue? As I read lot of review on the device getting heating up
It heats up little. But not affecting performance
Does this AX50 support PoE?
Were you able to set bandwidth control for the guest network?
It is missing the AX1500!
I think not possible
Am it seems the device has many features, but in the past i've had what 4 TP link routers ....not so expensive, but still in the 25-40$ price range and on all of them there were some issues.
Either they stuck or the WIFI doesn't work and my gear couldn't authenticate properly.
Also the coverage was quite poor. A bathroom away or two walls away and there is 0 coverage of the signal.
So i am not sure if you purchase this model same issue wouldn't appear after some time. :/
Can we increase the wifi speed to 3000 mbps??
Wow nice editing tbh..
Can you control the access time of the guest network?
I'm planning to buy a wifi6 router but I want atleast to have a guest network with control over a access time of guest network.
The asus tuf gaming ax3000 do have those but it is expensive. So i would like to know if you can do that to that tplink?
Hi. Need to turn off the guest network manually
There is AX300 Pro and it looks similar to the one you have, just without the Intel processor (or the logo to show it). The AX3000 Pro supports WPA3 too. Got mine at Bestbuy on sale for $129.99 + tax (6% tax). I bought it new too, not refurbished or anything like that at all!! It was new and shrink wrapped when I got it. I did have an AX1500 from Walmart (looks just like the AX3000 Pro) but that might have been a lemon, I kept having to reset it. Even the wired connection would intermittently stop. That is really annoying as you can imagine. I was just at the end of the return window and got rid of it just in time. *15 days is NOT a lot of time!!*
Anyhow I am pleased to say that the AX3000 Pro is working as intended and I have not had to reset it even once. Really that is the reliability TP-Link is known for and that AX1500 that gave me problems was probably just a lemon or from a bad batch. I have never had to reset a router so many times as I did with that AX1500. If I didn't know TP-Link is an excellent brand I would have stayed away from them after that experience!!
Great video bro!! Finally I understand why my internet subscription 300mbps but i still get 70+ mbps in 2.4ghz. When i check my laptop card is AC 3168 🤣 need to upgrade to AX
Hi. Need to have AX router too
@@GTCREATIONZZ using archer x50
Im getting the ax1800 for my 300 mbps would this accommodate my needs? I just have TVs phones laptop system consoles and a few smart lights
Should be fine
Do we have to pay for QoS and other features like parental control ? many ppl on amazon said they are being charged subscription fee. Does it not have any in built QoS aside from HomeCare one ?
Not required for qos. If I were you, I wouldn't touch the QoS settings.
So I’ve been reading that you have to pay the sub to get all the speeds or they slow the rate. Is this true and how did you get around it?
Not true. I never had to pay anything to change QoS settings. But its a mess up. If you change the settings, you may end up with reduced speed.
But this can only be done using teather application.
@@jyates1007 they updated the software bro , it's all integrated into the tether app and web version of router settings now , no need to do anything special to get around it.
@@GTCREATIONZZ would the tether be used for a extender?? Sorry I just bought this and it’s the first time I didn’t just rent my ISPs
This is an awesome review man. I am considering to get this router for a while now. The thing is I already got a good router (Archer C9), but my one is the EU version and that is why it 5Ghz network doesn't work in many devices (In Bangladesh only Band 2 channels are allowed for 5Ghz due to regulatory reasons, and the EU version doesn't offer band 2 channels) including my Macbook Pro. Since I got this router 2 years back, I can't get it replaced either. That is why I am considering to get a new router (US Version). I don't have any Wi-Fi 6 supported devices yet, but for now this router seems like a good option even for devices that only supports AC Wi-Fi. My question is Archer C9 has a quad core processor whereas this AX50 has only has dual processor. I have 10 devices at home which are connected to my router (both wireless and wired, including 3 IP Camera and a NVR). Do you think this router can support all that with Dual core processor?
Hi AX50 is backward compatible which means, you can get same speed using AC devices. Connecting 10 devices won't be an issue as it advertises to handle 50+ simultaneous devices.
@@GTCREATIONZZ thanks a lot for your reply man :)
Any recommendation for router other than tplink ax50? Which has better build quality and reliable performance over the time
Ax73 looks promising. I haven't used it though
I have ax55 but my wifi download speeds are only averaging from 500-650mbps,my line is 1Gbps,via cable I am getting proper speed 900mbps. But via wifi no matter what ill do its peaking only in between 650-700mbps even if the router is only beside me and even if wifi speed negotiated is around 1.7-1.9Gbps. My router is on AP mode,its getting the internet from my ASUS AC86u. I bought this to get the full potential of my line,but unfortunately i am not. Asus AC86u at 5Ghz tops at 560-580mbps. So i didnt get the speed upgrade that I am looking for. Any suggestions?
1. I believe you have turned on 160mhz channel. If not you will not get full bandwidth.
2. Have you changed anything on Qos settings. If so I strongly recommend you to reset router and try again.
3. Do you have any wireless devices such as soundbar? Some times it can interfear. You may try using different channels for the 5ghz band. (DFS channel)
4. Is your wireless client capable of achieving the full speed?
5. With 1.9Gbps nego speed, you should get atlease 850Mbps download
Nice review! I bought an AX 50 v1.0 in July 2020 as AP+router for my 1gbps cablemodem line. Now in April 2021 the connection drops and lockups are getting very frequent, several times per day. I do not recommend this as a router, might be OK for Wifi 6 access point use. For routing I will be switching to a quad core Mikrotik or a small x86 box running OpenWRT or a full Linux distro. The quality of the software on these TPLink wifi routers is abysmal.
Brother. If i have a 100mbps connection, how much speed i will get with ax 3000 in 2.4ghz ?
On a wifi6 (AX) device, you will get full bandwidth provided by your ISP.
On a wifi5 (AC) device for example Samsung note 9, I am getting close to 90mbps download and 70mbps upload speed.
All these also depends on quality of Internet provider.
It is already covered in the video. Hope this helps
GT CREATIONZZ thankyou so much
Good Video
i have 20MBPS speed and buy a new router like in feature way if, i am taking 100MBPS speed so which one is the best router
You can consider AX20 or AX10 too
Hi.
I would like to know if this router has mesh technology. Thanks
Hi this router don't support mesh till now.
Hi my friend excellent review.
Could you help me out advise me please. I'm sure you've heard of the trouble lot's of people are having with their ISP Modem/Router all in one modems. I have VIRGIN MED SUPER HUB 3 & it's not very good as a router. I know people are getting round this by turning the router part off &putting it into modem mode only then using their own router with the modem. Could you please advise me on how to do this please 🙏 I'm knot very tech savy so it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. 👍✌.
I am happy to help, This is what I could find
1. While connected to the Virgin Super Hub 3, open web browser and type in 192.168.0.1
2. Password is printed on the bottom of the Hub
3. Select Modem Mode on the left hand side of the screen
4. Select the option next to " Enable Modem Mode"
5. select " Apply changes. Reboot.
Now connect LAN cable from Hub 3 to Tplink router (blue port)
Follow the instructions to configure tplink router. (you can either use tether app or web to configure tp link router) you may refer to my video for setting up the device.
Hope this helps
Do you have to activate 160mhz to get full potential of the router especially for ps5? Will the download and upload be the same sort of thing ?
Yes need to change 160mhz channel manually. The max upload speed is limited to 175-190 Mbps.
@@GTCREATIONZZ I purchased this router sunday and didn’t no I had to do this - so change mhz to 160 and then what will my download and upload speed be through via Ethernet as it’s connected to ps5 .. thanks for relplying
Via ethernet you can get the full Gig upload and download based on your Internet plan. 160mhz is only applicable for wifi connection. And some times if you check the inbuilt connection check on PS5, it may not show full speed. Bottleneck could be PS server.
@@GTCREATIONZZ I’m with virgin media 350mb down and 35 upload and it’s now in modem mode and I have this router as the main router now.. so if I change to 160mhz I should get the full potential of download and upload speed it says on the box instead of my old virgin media speed .. sorry for the messages just not sure on all this .. thanks
Use your computer to check the download speed. Make sure that your computer has the hardware to support that band width. For your ISP speed, you may not require 160Mhz channel width.
If you have changed any of the QoS settings, you may probably end up getting half the speed. I would highly recommend not to touch the QoS setting.
Sir, in wired client or wireles client. can allow to change clients name?for verification if i have more devices connected in this router. thanks
Yes the wireless clients can be renamed. I haven't checked the wired.
@@GTCREATIONZZ thank you sir
HI..could you suggest me Good Router connect 60+ devices( 30+ system and 30+mobiles) for my office. we are getting 300 mpbs speed.
AX 50 can connect 50 plus devices.
But for your requirement you may need multiple routers and network switches. I would suggest You to consult a networking expert.

I am using Huawei Wi-Fi 6 Router but the speed is very bad for it. I m planning to buy TP-Link AX50 3000Mbps
How about the range coverage and speed
Its already included in this video in detail. Thank you.
I need to know these things
1. antenna power gain in dbi? i.e. 5dbi or 6dbi
2. total Sq.ft coverage i.e. 2000 or 300 sq.ft
3. What's the MU-MIMO technology used in this router? 2x2 or 4x4 or higher?
4. And lastly, the Heating issue is present like AX50 or not? Any long term review/suggestion to the prospective buyers like me?
HI I would recommend to get the AX73 instead.
@@GTCREATIONZZ why?
Ax 50 is outdated. You won't get any more firmware updates. The unit heats up little bit. From what I understand AX73 supports one mesh, you can extend the coverage.
@@GTCREATIONZZ The speed via usb 3.0 is also not capped like Ax50.
Hello, do you have any overheating issues for the AX50?
yes and it will reset to factory if it gets a power fail
@@ednecker4525 oh no. Glad I went with the AX73 instead coz I was too worried with this issue. It’s amazing!
I am still using it with properly functioning. I never check if it is over heating or not. Never dropped connection.
The router is fucking hot, so you need to give air around it. I have mine suspended on 2 pieces of wood.
how many devices can be added for wifi Mac Filtering?
Not very sure about this
Which is best Ax53 or ax50?
Shall i go for a53?
AX50 is old. Better get the new models
My budget is 7,000 for an advance router, which routers do you suggest.
TIA.

Hello,i have sam router,and Bt brodband full fibre 500,how to connect this router?somebody help me please?
Just connect LAN cable from modem to WAN port on the router and configure the router.
I have bt 900 what router would you recommend
TP link AX73 is good option
It has very mixed review and price currently is high at 9k vs AX1500 5k..is it really worth it?
How it compares to AC 1900? Some website suggest AC 1900 would be better than AX3000
AX 3000 and AX 1500 are wifi 6 routers, which are backward compatible, if you are looking for a new router, I strongly recommend you get anyvAX router as the devices in future will be equipped with wifi6.
Thanks for reply..worried about issues you mentioned.. fluctuation, heating up and speed limit of max 500 mbps in router worth INR 9000..
Which AC router would you recommend between 5k-6k range?
Thanks once again
May I ask what is your internet speed
100mbps right now..planning to move to 300mbps or higher with Jio fiber availability in area
@@kapilpunjabi I'm using 300mbps maxis fibre in Malaysia, with this router I get more than I subscribed around 340-400mbps with this router
Question to ask, if i have a 1 gpbs internet speed from my ISP. What Wifi 6 router would you recommend to me? The price of this AX50 for me right now is S$80(SGD) after discount. Thanks. Great editing.
I would suggest you to wait for a while, wifi6E routers will soon hit the market. If you want one urgent, go for the Asus one within your budget. I went for AX 50 because it has usb 3.0. But the transfer speeds are slower than USB 2.0

Does this router have heating issues??
It heats up. But never faced issues in performance because of that
hey....is it have still heating issues or kind of speed fluctuation after using this long time?and yes is it good to go with? i am thinking to buy wifi 6 router and really panic what to choose pls help me and pls rply ..
There wouldn't be any problems if you don't touch the QoS settings. And I would not recommend if you are on a 500mbps above plan. Don't buy if you have plans to make any NAS with the USB 3.0 port available on the router.
@@GTCREATIONZZ tp link arche ax20 1800mbbs would be better then ?
Can not confirm without trying. But the total bandwidth is halved. If you use a number of devices, could have the impact
@@GTCREATIONZZ So honest!
I have this router for a month. But the problem is that this router is getting too much hot from the bottom and sometimes it automatically fluctuates speed.
Can be controlled to an extend by keeping it raised
Please review tp link archer ax73
I would really love to but unfortunately I don't have it.
Where is wifi 6 in this router. It show only 2.4 & 5.2
I believe that you have watched the full video. Wifi 6 isn't a setting, its a wifi standard. You will get the benefits of wifi 6 if the connected device is wifi 6 compatible.
Хороший роутер. За свою цену
Yes 👍
@@GTCREATIONZZ hey i also want to ask is that is there any other product we can buy instead of this as wifi 6 router under 10000?
@unboxing of all , Can consider ASUS WiFi 6 Router RT-AX56U AX1800
Ax73 or ax50 or ax20
Which one you suggest ??
Ax73
Why is my AX50 limiting my speed to 200mbps while my internet plan is 600mbps?
If you have watched, the video you can find that inorder to get full bandwidths you need to manually select 180mhz channel width
@@GTCREATIONZZ Yes I did, I'm directly connected to it wired and still getting 200mbps. Port negotiations are currently set to 1000mbps full duplex for both ISP router and AX50. Also my desktop recognizes the 1gbps port negotiation I set.
Try factory reset

True. I got one replaced during warrants period. The support was really good.
