    I also like this product very much. I "standardized" on TP-Link products several years ago. Netgear just seemed to lose it's edge and none of the other routers I tried were very satisfactory. Range is good and WiFi6 is speedy. My only disappointment is the USB port isn't 3.0, but I'm not sure what throughput would have been over WiFi so maybe it's no big deal. I'm adding another upstairs at the other end of my house to make a "mesh". I live in BFE and my awesome local ISP offers 11 down and 1.5 up. Too bad WiFi6 won't fix that. Skynet...I mean Starlink is ordered! Hurry up Elon!

I bought one of these new TP link AX1800 Wi-Fi 6 Routers to use as a WIFI extender for my basement level as the TP Link Range Extenders work until the power goes off, then they need to be reset. How do I set this router up to the Archer as wireless repeater? Thank you.

      I’ve never had to do that before, since I use a mesh system from TP-Link. You can try to reset the WiFi 6 router and go through the setup process again to see if there’s a repeater mode to choose during the setup process. 👍💪

    Lamar MK -- You are a very professional video producer. Very well done. QUESTION: Overall reviews are good for the TP-Link AX21, but I read a few user reviews that complained about the AX21 getting very hot and then throttling back ... which reduces Internet speed. HAVE YOU NOTICED IF THE AX21 GETS TOO HOT?

    • @LamarMK
      @LamarMK  3 года назад

      Thank You Christina, I appreciate that. In my testing of the router, I didn’t notice any extreme heat, this new design is supposed to be an improvement to the AX50 for better airflow to operate cooler. 👍💪

      I second his statement. 2.4 GHz band of 5 GHz band are completely separate technologies. 2.4 GHz is an older standard. And the 5 gigahertz some more modern standard. If you have 2.4 and 5 gigahertz enabled the same time you're introducing unnecessary latency. A lot of people myself included like to use only one band at a time. I e 5 gigahertz for maximum speed.

    Good video man. I pulled the trigger too quickly on the Linksys MR7350 as it was on sale. Unfortunately I was not impressed by its performance and range. The Archer AX21 competed against it in an article I read and seemingly beat the MR7350 (I've always been a linksys person). Anywho.. returned that and have purchased the Archer AX21. Can't wait to set it up. From this video it looks like it has impressive range and beamforming, perhaps bandsteering as well.
