TP-Link - Archer AX10

Had an ORBI for many years, its had numerous minor issues over the years but it finally stopped functioing a month or two ago and I go myself an Archer AX10, quite happy with setup and no issues so far.

I just got myself TP Link WiFi 6 AX1500 Smart WiFi Router (Archer AX10). It’s only 80 AUD and works very well on my two bedroom apartment.

I had this one set up in the same room as my vr headset in access point mode, and it always worked pretty well for me.

TPlink AX1500 i am useig is nice can be bought off [tplinkpakistan.com](http://tplinkpakistan.com) works good for streaming games from PC to meta quest for me so its fast

The 360 slim is wifi 4 (n) on 2.4ghz only, and the router may be putting it on 5ghz. If you can somehow test directly on the 2.4ghz band, that would help. If you can't create a separate wifi network on 2.4ghz, try disabling "Band Steering" if it's an option in the router. That's the setting that tries to put devices on the 5ghz band. The security protocol should be set to WPA2 as well, if it's not already. Anyway, any modern wifi 6 router should be able to handle this. Routers are backwards compatible with previous wifi versions. Here's a TPlink for $50 - https://www.amazon.com/TP-Link-Wireless-AX1500-Wifi-Router/dp/B07ZSDR49S?th=1

I bought the TP-Link Archer AX1500. 1000 sq ft house.  10 feet to the TV.  Wired to the PC.  Couple phones.   Works very well.

People here aren't suggesting affordable. Affordable at $50 is an TPLink AX1500. Affordable mesh would be $85/node TPLink Deco XE75 (6Ghz WiFi 6e is much better than anything 5Ghz). As soon as you go above those price points Ubnt makes sense. People overpaying for stuff like Flint2 are being fleeced. Buying yesterdays tech at yesterdays prices!

TPLink routers are the "best performance per dollar" on average. I have an AX1500 I bought for $55 that is still going strong. But these days 6Ghz is more important and intelligent mesh also. So the DECO XE75 is amazing for the price ($85/node when buying two) as most people with bigger houses or plaster walls can see big performance improvements with a mesh setup. Once you go above those price points, consider Ubiquiti all the way!

Do you need WireGuard VPN? Honestly most people even if they love DDWRT just want to setup a router and have it work. I used DDWRT for years. Honestly these days the TPLink stuff is hard to beat for the price. The AX1500 is $50 and for the average smaller home or apartment with 500mbps or slower Internet it will be just as rock solid and reliable as DDWRT on average as long as you don't need crazy features (like WireGuard VPN @ 900mbps or whatever they claim). If you have a friend who needs a "wireless router" right now but really a mesh router will work for that also ... the TPLink Deco XE75 is a great piece of kit for $85 (off Amazon when bought in a 2-pack) that does 5Ghz & 6Ghz and routes 1Gbps fiber Internet at full speed on wifi and wired. *(the upgraded XE75+ that has 2.5Gbps Ethernet gets me 1.6Gbps via wifi to my cellphone on 2Gbps fiber).* The whole point is WiFi 6 is old at this point, 6e or 7 (find one w/6Ghz radio) is a much better buy for he same or little bit more money.

Mesh is the way to go, I have TP link AX1500 and it’s done a great job eliminating poor speeds and coverage

Grab a Wi-Fi 6 router. TP-Link AX1500 or ASUS RT-AX55 are solid picks. They're a bit cheap, reliable, and handle a ton of devices. Put it central in the house and you’re golden.

GL.Inet 100% as it runs relativley pure OpenWRT and has a bunch of nice features that while you might not use them this time are great for other times, like you can connect it to public wifi and then your devices to it to isolate them, and as mentioned above setup a VPN service on it to send all your traffic though the VPN. i'm pretty sure TP link dosnt have these features or if it does they are way more basic. I deff know it dosnt let you connect to public Wifi's and use that as a wan connection cuz iv had to reaseach it recently due to moving to an appartment with shared wifi.
