Pros & Cons

Pros

Easy to set up and use for tech-averse 67-year-old woman. Tether app is user friendly and allows me to make most changes or view activity right from my home. Changing the default password was easy online.

My house is small enough and my ax21 is centrally located, so everywhere has great speed with my 250mbps fiber. We have a fiber optic internet at home. I'm using the same modem and am impressed with the speeds that this router is able to deliver.

The tp-link ax1800 is in a small cottage so range isn't much of an issue. But the one mesh extender in my detached garage is really where i've noticed the biggest difference. Seems to * the walls well and without issue.



Cons

This router has good range and is capable of fast throughput, but it doesn't seem to be able to maintain that throughput. Some might think well, your wifi speeds are location specific/walls/distance/competing wifi signals/bla bla/etc. After a reboot e...  Read More

Buyer beware. This router is a pos. It craps out.

The online support is completely useless and so are the troubleshooting videos. It seems that they will do anything but admit the unit is defective and replace it.

    Ive used netgear routers for the past 15 years or so but their product quality and customer support has gone downhill big time

    I purchased three rockers none of them work although i had not taken the third one out of the box but the first two will not work and every one that has bought this unit from amazon says the same thing it will not get the internet id be foolish to think that any different considering i bought three of them surely amazon can give me some of my money back its only right

    I had to return two other manufacturers units because even though the wan and lan ports supported the higher rate the unit processing the data was slow and performance lacked
