TP-Link - Archer AXE75

I have the AXE75 and it works amazing with the Quest 3

Paid only 45 dollars for a tp link axe75 brand new and it's better speed then the so called spectrum wifi and has all the settings to through tether... No more 10 a month

I got mine on Facebook, about 75% off. The guy bought two of them and he only needed one. It was brand new sealed, it's a $200 Wi-Fi.. I think Amazon has them on sale for $130 from 230 or so So my $45 was a hell of a good deal. Won't complain it has all the features of the spectrum Wi-Fi at $10 a month. Page for itself in just a few months

It supports 2.4, 5, and 6ghz, that's what the tri-band means. And literally any router is compatible with their modem. It has a standard 1gps port on it.

One thought here. I got the AXE75 as it was suggested in Virtual Desktop Discord. That router gave me more headaches than I can count. It turned out that the AXE75 is a great router in the US but not in EU. We can't use the channels that US can use which made that router quite worthless. I tried for a month before I gave up and returned it. There is a megathread about that problem on Metas forum. So to TS: Do not get the AXE75 if you are in EU and do your homework on which one to get, it IS worth it to get a good router!

It was about a year ago so.. Problem was speed and fluctuation though. I used Openspeedtest server on my PC and my Q3 to measure LAN speed and connection between the two. Highly recommended to do btw. One test could show 900ish Mb and the next test, right after, 400ish Mb. The curve was like an EKG. It was horrible and all over the place. That is what that thread is about (and something about an update that broke it) and the same guy that started that thread also has a YouTube channel and videos about it. Sorry I can't remember his name or what the thread name was :-/ I tried ALL available channels and ALL different settings and googled it for literally weeks. (I don't work) United States and Europe don't use the same channels on Wifi. The fast, but still stable, channels are reserved to US I think. I'm not a pro on this. Some routers, like my old Asus, let me choose those US channels anyway but the AXE75 user interface did not. Neither was there a custom firmware or something like that. Anyway, in Virtual Desktop Discord channel I found people with the exact same problem, none of us managed to fix the problem though. AXE75 seems to be a great router in the US, but not for streaming to Q3 in EU/Sweden. Are you in US maybe?

I use a TP-Link Archer AXE75. Works very good for gaming. It has wifi 6e. So you get 6ghz bands on top of 5ghz and 2.4ghz. Honestly tp-link is the only brand i buy now. Affordable and high quality.

It's hard to tell without testing, some routers have issues with VR that you would never know from the specs. The best thing is to go with a model that is already known to work well for VR. Like Puppis S1, Minions Kevin (seriously!), or TP-Link AXE75.

I remember tinkering with my asus ax55 router which couldnt handle fixed 200mbps properly. Now that i received my TPlink axe75, i never touched the fixed 500mbps h264+ codec. Its 99% flawless. I live in a flat tho.

I had good experience with AX55 (wifi6), AXE75 (wifi6e) and AXE95 (wifi6e with 2.5G port). AXE95 does provide 2.5g port, but just 1. If your ISP is <= 1G, you can probably use 1G port as WAN and connect 2.5G switch to 2.5G port for 2.5G internal network. My 1000 sqft apartment did fine with a single AX55, was more than enough. Even recently moving to 3000 sqft SFH, AX55 at dead center of the house covered entire house.

If you have a decent PC, and you seem to have a fairly good gaming PC, then why skimp on a decent 6e router ? I have a TP-Link Archer AXE75 AXE5400Mbps 6e, and it's superb, and is a router recommended for Virtual Desktop. I got mine on Amazon, and pre-owned, so I saved a good few quid on a new one. Why not see if Amazon have any pre-owned ones for sale ?

I’m looking for the best WiFi 6E router as I mostly do gaming and I need the low interference 6GHz band. I have Spectrum but I live in a big city in a populated neighborhood so there’s a lot of congestion in 5GHz. I had the TP-Link Archer AXE75 but it just didn’t work for anything. It was stuttering and lagging a lot and I blamed it on my internet but then I switched to my ISP router and it was working fine. Not too sure what’s going on but maybe I just need to invest some more money in a higher quality router so please let me know any options!

There is still that bug for 6ghz that affects some Quest 3 users, especially with the AXE75. I used to have the bug too, I think you still have it where it's unplayable when you turn your head away This is why I don't recommend the AXE75 anymore, too many issues like that

I have and TPLink AXE75 I thought I could use but it only has a 1GB WAN port. The router my ISP provided only does 1.6GB max speed wireless but the range is pretty crap (eero pro 6e) and usually always wants to connect me to 2.4GHz network, even if I'm 6 feet away. Which means way slower speeds. What would you recommend for a basic router that is capable of high wifi speeds? Don't need it for gaming, and it's usually just 2 phones, chromecast, android box desktop and printer connected to network. I'm looking to utilize the 2GB/2GB connection as much as possible without breaking the bank.

I upgraded to the Archer AXE75 a little while ago because my old router was struggling with all the devices in my apartment. Setup was straightforward with the app, and honestly the difference was noticeable right away—streaming in 4K doesn’t buffer anymore, and online gaming feels smoother with lower ping. The 6 GHz band is fast when I’m in the same room, while the 5 GHz covers the rest of the place pretty well. I’ve got around 20 devices connected (phones, smart TV, laptops, even a couple of smart plugs) and it hasn’t choked once. The only small downside is that the ports are limited to gigabit, so you won’t push crazy multi-gig speeds, but for everyday use it’s more than enough. If your Wi-Fi feels outdated and you want a stable upgrade without overspending, this has been a solid choice for me.

Wi-Fi 7 isn’t automatically “better” than Wi-Fi 6 in every case. Right now, Wi-Fi 7 routers at the low end (like the BE3600) are basically entry-level devices with the new label slapped on. They’ll support the Wi-Fi 7 standard, but with fewer streams, weaker hardware, and lower real-world performance than some of the more mature Wi-Fi 6/6E models you listed. For your use case (WFH, PS5, Quest 2): * AX5400 / AX6600 / AXE75 will likely give you better range and consistency because they have stronger radios and more streams, even if they’re “only” Wi-Fi 6/6E. * The BE3600 will work fine for basic tasks, but don’t expect it to outperform a higher-end Wi-Fi 6 router just because it says Wi-Fi 7. So at \~$140 CAD, the BE3600 is more of a budget router with future branding. If you can stretch a bit, the AX5400 or AXE75 are safer picks for stability and gaming.

Return the decos and get another AX5400 and use easy mesh capabilities. What model do you actually have the AXE75 which has the 6ghz channel or do you have the AX75 or AX73 which both do speeds of 5400gbps but are just wifi 6 capable? Either way, all three of those models are easy mesh capable, which would probably be a lot better than having the Deco’s with the same Wi-Fi name and password even though it’s the same network topology it’s still different hardware and it’s probably gonna cause issues. That’s why I suggest the easy mesh route because that keeps the routers pretty much the same and eliminates the Deco hardware.

Novice here. I just bought the “TP-Link AXE5400 Tri-Band WiFi 6E Router (Archer AXE75) Gigabit Wireless Internet Router” on Amazon. It was $139. I also bought CAT 7 ethernet cables. Just for fun I swapped out the cables and tested it on my old router and it doubled+ my speeds. I am kicking myself for not doing this cheap change sooner. The old cat5 cables were probably 15+ years old. The new router is hitting 400-500 Mbps on wireless on my iPhone. I am researching/shopping for a new modem too. I just got Xfinity and it says I can get up to 1.3 Gbps. My current modem is supposed to max at 400, it is a docsis 3.0, but seems to go past it temporarily and dies seem to average a bit below 400 on speed tests.

So depends on your ISP, so check their list of approved equipment but I’d get a Docsis 3.1 modem. I like Hitron which works for Comcast and Cox. The 1 Gbps is a $100? I just got the CODA56 which is 2.5 Gbps. Buying is cheaper than renting from the ISP but you need to use the equipment for almost 2 years to break even. I’d then get the TP-Link AXE5400 Tri-Band WiFi 6E Router (Archer AXE75). About $120. This router has a lot of features and an app to help you control it. It’s good to 1 GBPs also. It’ll give you wifi 6 but not 7 but that doesn’t matter given your max 400 Mbps speeds. With your speeds you could go cheaper and get about 500-800 Mbps max speeds just google older (two or three back actually) versions of above equipment.

Amazon Prime deal has the AXE75 50% off now. Fortunate coincidence? Now I’m back to thinking of just buying two of those and meshify them. Even if they end up kinda being slow/disappointing I can wait until better units come along and just use the AXE75 as interim devices.

I set up a pair of Archer AXE75 yesterday and so far so good. Easymesh wasn’t that easy to set up but after some fiddling got it going. I can get the 6GHz band to my only device (Alienware laptop) that supports it on the second floor, with main router in the basement, which is great. I did notice how limited the options are on the TP-Link vs what is offered on the ASUS but it will do for now. Signal strength and fluidity is good. For the money spent I can’t complain. Maybe I’ll throw a BE600 as you mentioned into the mix later as the main router. Black Friday sales are just around the corner. I wish I had an option for hardwire connections in the house for backhaul but can’t at the moment. Thanks for the tips! [Edit] Can't seem to find Archer BE600 (BE9700) available in my neck of the woods or online from the usual sources. Only BE400 (Dual Band) or BE550/BE550 Pro or BE700/800/900. Weird.

I bought axe 75 recently, seems to be a popular choice, highly recommend

yup, see more here: [https://www.tp-link.com/us/easymesh/](https://www.tp-link.com/us/easymesh/) it works exactly like your deco, except the devices (archer routers) are typically more powerful and you have a full web interface and are not limtied to only the app. using 2 archer routers (AXE75) outperformed using a 3 pack of the deco XE75s in my setup.

I see the signal strength comparison but how does the bitrate compare with the AXE75 5ghz?  Are you still able to stream 500mbps with the AXE75? Also are you able to actually use the AXE75 6ghz band for VR?  I tried it with my Q3 but the connection signal cuts out if the headset is not facing the router, so any time I turn it becomes unplayable.

I have a tp link axe 75 and removed all repeaters i've had in house. Best investment of last year.

Since you’ve got fibre, grab a good WiFi 6 or 6E router, something like the TP-Link AX75 or ASUS AX88U. Fast, low-latency, and solid for future VR stuff too. Good range, reliable for both you and your wife. It’ll keep things smooth now and won’t limit you later if you switch to a wireless VR headset.

That’s really kind of you, a solid friend move. Yeah, the TP-Link BE550 is great for WiFi 7 at that price. If you’re open to WiFi 6E instead (still super fast and future-ready), the Archer AXE75 is a killervaluetoo, tri-band, reliable, and way under budget...

Yeah, ISProuters can't handle that kind of load. Try something like the TP-Link AX75 or AXE75. Solid performance, WiFi 6/6E, and better handling of multiple devices. It should fix the slowdown without an overkill gaming router. Big upgrade without the fuss..

If you’re on gig internet with just 2 users, yeah, most routers can do the job. But if you really want to max out that speed without the usual 940Mbps limit, look for one with a 2.5Gbps WAN port. It lets you benefit from Spectrum’s extra bandwidth. Personally, I’ve been using the [TP-Link Archer AXE75](https://www.grabnpay.in/products/tp-link-archer-axe75-gigabit-tri-band-6-stream-axe-5400-wifi-6e-router-with-on-mesh-homeshield-and-alexa-support?_pos=1&_sid=51a76819f&_ss=r), and it’s been fantastic. Super stable, fast, and the WI-FI 6E makes a big difference, especially with smart devices all around the house. Set-up was easy too. If you want something more premium, the Netgear Nighthawk AX12 (RAX200) is a beast, tri-band, wide coverage, and handles tons of devices like a champ. Either way, they're solid and future-proof.

Totally fair to be picky with brands, but from my own experience, TP-Link has been trustworthy. If you're looking for something reliable and not overcomplicated, I'd confidently recommend the TP-Link AX55 or [AXE75](https://www.grabnpay.in/products/tp-link-archer-axe75-gigabit-tri-band-6-stream-axe-5400-wifi-6e-router-with-on-mesh-homeshield-and-alexa-support?_pos=2&_sid=c582b9892&_ss=r). Both give great speed, a stable connection, and are perfect for your setup: small space, work-from-home, no fuss. They’re not overkill, they're just dependable..,

For that size home, go for the TP-Link Archer AXE75 for great range, or the AX80 if you want more speed. The Nighthawk AX12 is also a solid pick

Yeah, if you’re gaming and dealing with lag, it’s probably time to ditch the rental pods. Best move? Grab a solid main router (like the[ TP-Link Archer AX75](https://www.grabnpay.in/products/tp-link-archer-axe75-gigabit-tri-band-6-stream-axe-5400-wifi-6e-router-with-on-mesh-homeshield-and-alexa-support?_pos=1&_sid=317013d89&_ss=r)) downstairs, and pair it with a good mesh unit upstairs. That way, you can keep the hardwired setup for your PC and get smoother WiFi across the house. Way more stable than extenders and less messy than running two separate routers...,

This. Its what I did. The Gen3 is on the west side of the house with better coverage and then I have a TP Link AXE 5400 hardwired to the router (which is in bypass mode) and the other two Deco's covering the rest of the house.

TP-Link AXE5400 (Archer AXE75) here for about $150 currently. On 6e (I turn off 2.4 and 5 Ghz) I get a consistent 2400 bps on my quest 3 and pro. Nothing else in my house uses 6e so there's zero competition for bandwidth. Only problem is the headsets struggle to connect sometimes. Toggling wifi on and off in the headset usually does the trick. There's good data on router performance over on the virtual desktop discord. Edit: typos

If you want better configuration dont go Deco its locked down by the software app to run some services and tweak. Get one of the Onemesh or Easy mesh routers like the AXE5400. Will also add the deco's are fantastic access points but using them as a primary gateway not the smartest for the more experienced user that likes the standard routing options available to setup etc.

This is awful advice. You need to take into consideration what the needs are. For example I have 29 devices paired with smart home automation and a 1.5gbps connection. If I use an AXE5400 then I am speed capped over wifi to only get a max of about 850mbps download speeds instead of the full 1.5gbps due to the AXE5400 only having gigibit ethernet ports (Routers with 2.5gbps ports are rare and expensive). The Wifi 6 performance on the AXE5400 is also dreadful. I am getting an AXE75 to see if it's any better because I am so disappointed with the AXE5400. You are probably the sort of person that would have said in the 90s "28 Megs of memory is plenty enough!". My Asus 86u router is also slower over 5g wifi than the crappy AXE5400.

TPLink AX5400 or AXE5400, done. Those are around $100/$150 on Amaz right now, I did a quick check I am using AXE in 1800ish. The big thing on routers, be sure it has multiple CPUs in it, different class ARM stuff, but you want more than 1. /cheers

>How stable is Air Link or Virtual Desktop for sim games? (any lag, stutter, compression?) Highly dependent on your setup. Wireless VR would ideally want an ethernet connection from PC-Router, and you being in the same room as the router with your VR headset. Often people will opt for a dedicated router just for their VR. I bought a decent Wifi 6E router (AXE5400) and I get a pretty much perfect wireless experience despite it being the homes only router. For sim sitdown games it is probably less hassle to just plug in, not like the wire impacts sitting down sim gameplay anyway. >Is the visual clarity good enough for cockpit gauges and HUD reading? Yes but also depends on the settings you have and how capable your PC is. >Do you notice tracking issues when seated or using a steering wheel / HOTAS? Tracking for the headset itself is never an issue. Not many headsets have any problems tracking the headsets themselves. >How’s the comfort during long sessions? Should I replace the strap or facial interface? Both yes. Stock strap is crap, stock interface is crap and unhygienic. Replace both ASAP but avoid Meta branded as they are typically 2-3x the price for no jump in quality or usability. > How bad is the battery life when used for PCVR, and how do you manage it? Plug in when sitting down and battery isn't an issue. If wireless you can expect probably 90-120min battery, many people will opt to buy a headstrap with a battery since you are going to replace that stock strap anyway, and battery straps are more comfortable than those without due to the better weight balance on your head. > If you’ve tried other headsets (Index, Reverb G2, Vive, etc), how does the Quest 3 compare? I've owned Valve Index, Quest 2, Pico 4, Quest 3 lenses are what sets it apart from the rest. These pancake lenses are top notch and I will refuse to use any other headset that doesn't live up to this quality in the future. > Any annoying bugs or things I should know before buying? Meta UI is stupid and illogically laid out, along with trying ever so hard to promote Horizon worlds at any chance it gets. Also dialing in your wireless experience is an exercise, it's worth it in the end but at no point is it an enjoyable thing to do.

I use TP Link AXE5400 wifi6e

I don’t have fios but 5g home and I purchased a tp-link AXE5400 tri bind router. The plug and play was easy and fast. Super happy with the speeds and there are some extra options that really worked for me like qos or quality of service which meant that I can take the most important devices and set them for priority of internet over other devices like smart plugs so my ps5 and phone takes priority first. Also there is an ioT switch that can still send internet signals to smart devices and have them communicate without giving up 3rd party location and use data. I have only had less than a week but so far compared to the cable internet provider, the new router surpasses speed, latency and reliability.

As someone who wasted his time with a wifi 6 router, I'd say go for wifi 6e. Got the AXE5400 for 160$ CAD (100 euro) and am quite happy with it. Wifi 6 was pretty much comparable to my stock modem, I could maybe increase the bitrate from 200mbs to 250mbs for a similar, or slightly worse, latency. With wifi 6e, it runs much better than that, all the way up to 500mbs. With how much it makes a difference on image quality, it can be a waste of your headset and PC's value to try and save money on the router. If OP lives in the middle of a field, then maybe wifi 6 will work fine. If they live in a city, it's probably not even worth trying.

Just get a wifi 6 E router to replace the main router if it isnt already a wifi 6e not sure a dedicated VR router is necessary at all seem to be snake oil sales to me if I'm honest iv got 2.5gig fiber Internet in the UK and I have 1 TP link wifi 6e router that supply's my whole house with no issues I get 1200gig both ways via WiFi on most devices and the full 2.5gig on my desktops that's on ethernet and internal connections for example i use Sunshine & Moonlight to game stream to my living room TV or my bedroom projector and I get the full 2.5gig speed test to my desktop from the tv, projector and my phone that are on wifi Iv uses TP link for years there a good brand I also worked in IT & Telecommunications in the military for 7 years so iv got a good grasp on networking

Do it. Get your own. I got a TPlink wifi 6e one. Had SO many issues with spectrums router,even after 2 or 3 of em.
