TP-Link - Archer AX10

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.

I am using ax10, love it

I’ve had this model ever since release back when it was a little over $100. It has been steady for the longest time. Easy to use. Ties in with the tether app on your smart phone. It is extremely powerful in regard to WiFi range. I had to lower the power down to medium and it still exceeded the walls of my 970sqft brick home. I also had it as the WiFi & router set up and for years it has been a work horse. Supports WiFi 6. But not wpa3 which is a bummer. It does have a few vpn capabilities but they are not the best. The web interface is easy to use however when logging in only uses http instead of https so be mindful when entering you password. You can split up your 2.4 and 5GHz bands, a guest network, but cannot create a tertiary WiFi network. You can also use it only as an access point t. It does give you the option. I switched to ubiquiti unifi U6+ and I miss the range that the AX1500 provided. However, the WiFi speeds ARE faster than the 1500. Firmware updates are easy. There really haven’t been any in a few months. Anyway, that’s the skinny. It’s still an awesome router, and if used as an AP it will be extremely reliable

I have same router and only feature it is missing is VPN client, I think the newer versions v3 got VPN client option but in unsure

I’m using the ax10 as an easymesh access point it’s been rock solid. I even used it as my main router with a fibre to Ethernet adapter for a few weeks when my ax73 main router suddenly died. I also have an ax1500 (American version of the same device) I use as an access point for some building controls. It’s also pretty solid.

Use it for wireless VR. Works just fine. I saw the ax12 pop up, no idea if it's better or not but it looks similar in specs, and cheaper.

i have ax10 it’s worth the price

If you really need a router, yeah ax10 is enough, But I would just buy a mesh since routers are not compatible with mesh in case you expect the router to improve your wifi coverage as well

Great router as well, maybe overkill for an AP - But of course that depends on how many wifi clients are connected.

I bought one to use as a router for my Railwire connection. No extra config needed, just plugged in the ethernet cable into the WAN port from my ISP router and did the setup on the gateway website.

I tried 3 different routers with Wi-Fi 5/6 and got a stable 500 Mbit with H.264+ codec only with Puppis. old TP-Link AX1500 with Intel CPU was shitty, hot and had problems with throttling. TP-Link C6U was able to work stable only with \~120 Mbit with AV-1 10-bit codec. Puppis S1 became perfect for me. now I use C6U with OpenWRT for Wi-Fi in our flat and Puppis for VR only. the router from my ISP doesn't even have 5 GHz Wi-Fi, so I turned off the wireless network on it. guys from VD discord had a list of recommended routers not because they are geeks or something, but because there are a lot of problems with wireless VR with a giant amount of devices. and if you don't want to spend weeks and hundreds of bucks on experiments, you really want to get one from that list.

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

I put my ISP modem on bridge mode and used TPlink as my main router. Then connect it with other tplink router via EASYMESH as it allows us to create mesh with wired backhaul. Below are the 2 links you need. I can’t tell you exactly what to do since ISPs might have different needs but below articles may give you an idea. I have BE550 and AX1500 on the Ethernet backhaul. https://www.tp-link.com/uk/easymesh/product-list/ https://www.tp-link.com/ae/support/faq/3731/

Spectrum's modems are quite good so just buy your own router. I have a TP Link AX 1500 and it has worked great.
