Last time I checked, I had sixteen devices going at one time. Going to AX seemed to clear up some problems. Every devise has enough bandwidth to be happy.
Listening to you after watching Linus is soothing
I purchased one of these and it's incredible. Plug and play. Easy app to tweek the device. Amazon had a sale for $165
IFTTT is awesome. You can set it up with HUE lightbulbs so that they flash red when speeds get slow or blue when they are very high.
How do you did it :)
Thnx
I recommend you use this as a switch/accesspoint but not the scurity gateway.
Please explain
I went with the AC 4000, and I’m satisfied with its features. The only thing more that I could ask for would be that built in 8-port switch.
What would be the best setup if I'm trying to get away from my provider. Thinking of getting a data sim to running my home but don't no what gear to buy, I would need two routers. Can u show me the way
I just got two Gryphon routers paired with 3 actiontec moca adapters (wired backhaul) and my network has never been better. I'm getting an avg of 600mb to the Internet from every corner of my home. I have over 25 devices on my network, split between 3 routers (two gryphon and Asus rt 3200) and it's been rock solid for over two weeks.
What wireless AX card was you using?
Here I am, still using Wireless-N. I use wired for anything "important".
@@tecgeminis9926 nothing beats good old ethernet! its fact (read as Dwight Schrute)
I use wired to my main PC and wireless for everything else (TV, 3d printer, 2d printer, etc...) but for security reasons (and pure speed) I stick with Cat 6/7 hardwired connection.
@@tecgeminis9926 hmmm i am getting 1 gbps on wired , so i am quite happy on it
Even using Ethernet, new routes have better performance with LAN cable
7:27 who here now wants Fava beans and a bottle of canatie 🌃
Hello, whit the last firmware is there portal security for Guest Network as in the Archer C5400?
I had a 802.11AC wifi media bridge that was capable of sustaining 600mbps. But I needed more bandwidth and lower game ping. So I switched to MOCA 2.0 adapters. Once I upgrade to Wifi6 and my router has a 2.5gbps port, i will be upgrading to MOCA 2.5 as well to match the speed.
if your gaming ethernet is still king in performance and cost.
@@Chickey I agree
If you're running a separate router already such as pfSense, untangle, etc I'd probably look to using 802.11ax access points vs a consumer-grade router.
Great video. Is this dual or tri band ? Or does it even matter with the new WiFi 6 tech ? Thanks
Howdy, how much area, sq footage it covers in 3 level house (if installed in the center, middle level)?
I’m interested to see some study about how long it takes to get ac devices popular?!
It’s good to see the idea of wifi6 but most of the “smart home devices” are still using 2.4G b/g...
I have this router but I was thinking can it be add in to a mesh network?
Great plug for, Network Chuck. His work is excellent.
If it only had a couple of 2,5gig lan ports 😕
Can you do link aggregation between the 1x WAN port and the gigabit LAN ports? My Motorola has 4x gigabit WAN ports.
Thank you for your review. I am currently using the TP-Link Archer C5400. For a while I was tempted to replace it, but I started to face two basic problems: one, that I do not own any Wi-Fi 6 devices, and two that in Brazil the AX6000 is not officially backed up by TP-Link, which means that they will give the user full technical support BUT if the router is defective they will not replace for a new one. In this case we will be in the hands of the importer, something that is clearly not a reliable warranty. At any rate, I would like to ask you if I may: did you find any significant speed performance over the C5400 as far as non-Wi-Fi sets are concerned?
Sounds awesome. Great review mate. Cheers.
One question please; does router have option where WiFi can be 'switched off' completely when required, so as to use router with computers with just ethernet ports only?
I have the TP-Link ArcherC5400 V2 is it worth to upgrade into that model now? Then why did you upgrade yours already?
So, the whole Prius highway analogy, do those benefits of wifi 6 with the not having to wait for a clear highway apply to our existing smart home devices and every other device? Because I’m pretty sure there are no smart home devices that use 802.11ax currently, like my current Nest thermostat.
Hello i.m thinking asus or this tp-link ax6000 which you think i should go with need help thanks
Ok I am pretty noob concerning networking and routers. Here is my use case I would like to make it work:
Desktop, UnRaidTower, Laptop, Chromecast --> I want a router that handles:
Streaming a game from my desktop (ethernet to router) to my laptop (802.11ac Wi-Fi).
While at the same time streaming a movie from my unRaid server (ethernet) to my chromecast/TV (802.11 b/g/n/ac)
Bonus: If my unRaid server can stream another movie to a friend over the internet.
So most of my usage is "localhost". Right now my router is shitty and if I try that, the "direct stream" from my desktop to laptop is severely affected (pixelized, slow, etc).
What technology would you recommend then?
Just replaced my Netgear ax4300 and this router is unbelievable!
Router isnt save it got software issue's.nice for hackers .
you can get switches that support 400tbps they are just expensive and of coarse fiber only
Great review ! It was 10th video i found about this router and 1st one that was useful!
Hi,
Thanks for the review!
would you recommend this?
I have 7-10 max devices. One wifi 6 device.
But my main use is I have a huge library of media on a 4 tb portable drive. 4k rips and music, cartoons tv shows. I need a robust DLNA server. I used to have Netgear r6300V2 and it worked like a charm with Freshtomato firmware minus the range and usb speed for samba.
Use IFTTT for notification if something like your "adult entertainment device" drops off the network... or starts using out of range bandwidth when it shouldn't. Nothing like getting home to a fuzzy bunny randomly stroking out across the floor.
I just bought one a few days ago, and it is working great. No dropped signals on any of my devices. No having to turn on and off my wifi on a device to get wifi restart. Best wifi router i have used.
Do it work on Wifi 5 devices? Like Centruylink modems?
@@superphantomgamer7951 I plugged my old wifi modem into it via Ethernet port, and am using it as an extender. No probs. It is downward compatible.
$229 on Amazon today (Cyber Monday 2019)
I recently bought this to "upgrade" my asus ac31000, but I'm not sure if it's better I've done speed tests on both but I'm seeing the same if not a little difference in speeds like my downloads are 90-100 and uploads will be 80-90 not sure if it's even better than the ac31000
Which is better for gaming the ax6000 or ax6600
I wonder if it will ever get any firmware update.
Check out PrimoCache very fast read and write speeds but you do need some spare memory
I use Ethernet cords for my to PS4s and Android streaming box don't really use wifi but for a few devices and my Google nest thermostat is this over kill for what I'm trying to do was looking at the nighthawk then saw this one usely have both PS4 going at same time but hooked up to the ethernet cable
Have you thought about comparing this to the Netgear Ax6000 and Asus Ax11000 wifi 6 routers? It would be nice to see a shootout. This is definitely the cheapest consumer grade wifi 6 router. It would be nice if they had a plug and play mesh setup.
No huge difference in speeds... big difference in price.
If you want post-1Gbit speeds you need to wait for 6Ghz
Is this better than the ax8 nighthawk
Does it broadcast further ?? 🤔
So the big question is did you try running your Plex Media Server with the ax Network?
Just what we need, I hope Comcast upgrades all 100 routers around me in the apartment complex and set them to max wide band so we can all make sure to not have useful wifi....
Question: does it still support older WiFi standards? If it does the same security issues still affect the unit. If it doesn’t, then that’s good, but limits sales growth to a smaller demographic for a while.
Of course it does
Byte my Bits seems to be thorough with this router. Out of curiosity, I would like to ask if this AX6000 TP Link Rounter's 3 indicators buttons are supposed to be light up when the router is in use ? Thanks
Does anyone have a speedtest for this router on wifi-5 with comcast gigabit internet? My xr500 gets near 650Mb down on 5ghz channel 149 however every few days I have to reboot the router because duma os is unstable. I tried the netgear RAX80 but that was a dumpster fire waiting to happen as I couldn't even get 400Mb down.
Yup.
Meh, i'll wait until Ubiquiti comes out with WiFi 6 hardware. Kinda done with consumer grade crap lol.
I'll wait for MikroTik.
ok, see ya in 2-3 years. (seriously, thats how long Ubiquiti says itll be before they support AX)
That's exactly what we will be getting all the time, Consumer grade items. Unless you can afford a whole wired network with hubs and Servers. Nothing wrong with Consumer-grade products, they have been excellent so far, sure they have their flaws. but commercial items can be worse :o/, either way, you won't be error-free.
Mikrotik for me to.
what do you mean? is it not good to buy this? if its just for me, when I do gaming?
So how much will wifi 5 devices benefit from this? I'm a vr gamer and I'm trying to go full wireless with my oculus Quest for PC VR games using virtual desktop. It connects at 5 Ghz which should be plenty of bandwidth, but the killer is lag spikes which cause stutters and jitters in the games. Would I see enough benefit from switching to this router now or should I just wait until vr headsets support wifi 6?
Which is better TP-link Archer AX73 AX5400
or
RT-AX68U
Do you need a monthly payment?
is it good for gaming ?
mayble ill upgrade 5-8years later when the hardware matures (meaning that all my devices support wifi6) at least at that point the Ubiquity Wifi6 AP is probably less expensive. I just recently upgraded my Ubiqity AP from old 2.4ghz only stuff to a AP AC PRO about 2 years ago.
The ax6000 wasnt save in the software and only when a it company told that on internet tplink resolved it with filmware update ..little late tplink!
For me asus .
I JUST BOUGHT THIS I GOT INTERNET 75 BUT WHEN I CONNECT THIS EXPANSIVE one i get only 47 mbp download and when i disconnect the tp link and connect my pc directly i get even 85 mbps ??? any idea i bought this from bet buy $300 if it is garbage like this i give it back tomorrow any help ??
Is this TP on par with Aus and Netgear, or just another POS product? My WRT3200 writes to attached storage is up to 112 MB/s.
6:51 How far was the distance of test ?
How is the range? I have a 3500sqft house I need a good router for it.
Replying to this much later, but if you have a fairly large home, I'd get a mesh network. That should reduce the number of 'dark spots' in your coverage.
unifi has an access point with a 10gb ethernet port
You referred to the Samsung SSD rating as 'megabits', when the screen (and most drive speed references) are in megabytes per second. 65 MB/s would be about 650 Mb/s, significantly more than the 'half a gigabit' you mentioned. You don't say for the USB storage test whether your computer(s) connected to the router at 2 GHz or 5 GHz. Since ax's spec for 2 GHz is about 1/4 the speed of the 5 GHz channels, that would be a large impact on your tested speed. I agree it's probably the USB port, but on the off chance it was a 2.5 GHz connection, 650 Mbps isn't bad for a 1148 Mbps connection speed. Remember that these 'rated' speeds are the raw bit rate of the hardware. When you add up the error correction, connection, and packet protocols, they take up a significant portion of that bandwidth. If there are any other nearby WiFi signals on that channel it slows even more.
Someone said in the reviews on amazon that you have to have a monthly subscription to use this router?
Does that make ANY sense to you whatsoever?
@@datriaxsondor590 No, thats why I asked. Its apparently to have access to the QoS features.
have it link aggregation ?
I'll wait until they come out with one that has a 10 Gb wan port
Will I be able to max my Gigabit internet connection with an Intel AX200 Wifi6 card in my PC?? Because with cable I get 960MBit/s but on AC Wifi I can not get more than 450 MBit/s. Edit: TP-Link AX3000 could work too?
Hello from the future.. So which card did you get? Could you max out your connection?
I bought and I am trying returned after 5 minutes 5g wifi was not working. I read there many issues not resolve with it.
port forwarding also not working
You do understand that the number of antennas on the wifi card matter? The technology is using MIMO
Is 802.11ax implementing WPA3 ? or is it still wpa/wpa2 ? I haven't watched Chucks vid yet
@@teknerd I guess thats a good thing. Its not that WPA3 is so deeply flawed that they shouldn't push out the updates.. I doubt they are even developing exploits built around the DragonBlood vulnerability YET ,because so few devices support WPA3 at the moment. Do you own a synology router with wpa3 ? These routers are getting crazy , some of them cost as much as middle of the road laptops these days.. I'd rather buy one of those tiny barebones computers people usually install pfsense on and run my own firmware then pay $300+ for a high performance router that isn't compatible with openwrt or dd-wrt. BTW I really dislike pfsense because of 😈they should have built it on Debian.
@@teknerd Rt2600ac and the mesh MR2200 does with firmware, the RT1900AC didn't get WPA3 .....
8:00 Rentals
I just bought this to replace my buggy RAX80
Use air time fairness, so you don't get limited by old wifi standards
Does it has a WANK port?
Do you know if TP Link offer a Mesh solution foe this router?
It is coming soon - www.tp-link.com/au/onemesh/compatibility/
Sounds like the 60 Mbps file transfer cap you were experiencing is the USB 3.0 bottleneck between your router and the SSD.
USB 3 will most likely bottleneck a SSD, but only if there is something wrong with the USB controller or bridge. He should be getting well over 100MBps. For example I have a WD external drive (mechanical green drive inside) that averages about 140MB/s.
2.5... I need 10 gig WAN to get the best speed from my ISP
Impressive. Who is watching 1000 HD movies at the same time tho
I reacently purchased archer ax6000,
but getting speed of 5 mbps download from another network shard computer folder,
any one help whether you guys also getting the same speed(os:windows 10,browser chrome latest),
and getting spped of 55 MBps while copying content from hard ssd type c.
please help and reply if you geeting proper speed but mine is slower,
in my laptop i am using "Qualcomm Atheros QCA9377 Wireless Network Adapter" in my laptop.
please help this is last day by which i can take refund from seller.
I'll just stick to my uber cool pfSense
Update your firmware
google "iot tp link ax6000 vulnerable" they're kinda screwed
i'll wait till WiFi 10 Gen ....
Price
Anyone else hungry for pizza after watching this?
Hmmm....
Now only to get WiFi 6 devices for everything.
The new Intel ice lake laptops will have wifi 6 on I think every device
@@adrian5895 It's the IOT devices that are stuck on 2.4ghz that would benefit that will be harder to find.
going to wait until Synology gets their router and mesh systems/hubs on WiFi 6
Yeah, the connectable USB never works at full speeds on these devices.
Go with Ubiquiti UniFi, far more reliable.
great but i need a wifi 6 phone , wtf it cost almost 500 bucks here, ermm does it fly like a drone as well , ha !
Still.... Only as fast as your slowest connection.
Remember that WiFi is half duplex while Ethernet is full duplex. A 1Gbps Ethernet connection has 1Gbps down and 1Gbps up. Also remember that with WiFi that if a device within range does not have MU-MIMO capabilities it will downgrade the entire network instead of just that devices connection. Not to mention you share the same airspace with your neighbors so interference hurts everyone. Lets also not forget that the WiFi speed ratings on the box are the total amount of bits in the air at one time on the best possible theoretical connection spanned over the available radio set. Then when you want to interact with the network you wrap what you want into a larger frame than Ethernet which bloats the data, then you encrypt what you want because you run a safe network which bloats the data. There are large chunks of each frame that are not what you want but only the overhead required to get what you want.
Wired is better. It is not the bottleneck.
Well said!
I'll wait till someone releases 10gb routers with more then 4 ports. And WiFi 6
Please use Unifi. You are doing amazing content and I am a subscriber for a long time. Do not use these kind of junk stuff. :)
Unifi / Ubiquiti will fix all your problems.
But the Review is fine :)
This Router has no DOS Protection feature just like in Asus Routers. The HomeCare Antivirus by Trend Micro for this Router is quite limited as well compared to what's on Asus Routers wherein they also have a dedicated page containing reports. If in case Trend Micro stops the support for this TP-Link Router then the device will have no security feature from external DOS threats. Older TP-link Routers has a more robust DOS Protection feature that is built-in in the Router software itself. I'm not sure why TP-link did not include that feature for the Archer AX6000 as they already have it on their previous models. :-( This Router has a good hardware specs but has very limited software security features and still with noticeable bugs in the recent firmware version. Asus Routers software is way far better than this.
I don't understand why he's promoting a router when he also tested mesh networks on his Channel. No brainer I'll just wait for UBIQUITI to come out with a similar mesh wifi 6 hardware.
My internet enters by my basement under my staircase. No way this will replace my 3 unifi pro (overkill but never lost connection in the last 3 years)
What's a gigahurt? It's hertz not hert!
I had the last version of this router, crapped out after 8 months.
Who honestly disliked this video!? Why!?!
bro if you are copying from a non ssd non/raided SATA drive to that networked drive you are being limited by the SATA connection. Never gonna see 110mb/s. Thats not a limitation of the wifi, but of your hardware bottleneck on your desktop.
Please Charter bring me gigabit! SOMEONE PLEASE
Remember WiFi is half duplex. So you won't get the advertised speeds
With wifi 6 you will get full duplex. This is to early for wifi 6 for right now.
@@CodeVenomSnakes Are you sure? I didn't know this 🤔. His devices would still be half duplex though
@@BudgetGamerz yes it is because wifi 6 will get mimo and ofdma that make super good.
I get 12mb ☺️
