TP-Link Next-Gen Wi-Fi 6 AX3000 Mbps Gigabit Dual Band Wireless Router, OneMesh™ Supported, Dual-Core CPU, HomeShield, Ideal for Gaming Xbox/PS4/Steam, Compatible with Alexa (Archer AX53)

Product Information

TP-Link EasyMesh-Compatible products can network with other devices that use EasyMesh. Failed connections may be due to firmware conflicts of different vendors. The EasyMesh-Compatible function is still being developed on some models and will be supported in subsequent software updates. As for the processor. Its a router it literally can run whatever these all have a set end of life date no matter the chip in em sadly HomeShield includes the Free Basic Plan. Fees apply for the Pro Plan.

Now let’s see if the 25Mbps limit was reached by all client devices and the performance is what you would expect. The WiFi 6E PC was well below it, while the WiFi 6 clients hovered at around 22Mbps – not great. 1080p Streaming and Browsing (+ VoIP) – 5 Client Devices AX1800 means 574Mbps speeds at 2.4GHz plus 1,201Mbps at 5GHz, though many of your devices won't even be as fast as this. Even this cheaper Wi-Fi 6 router offers faster speeds than solid routers like Eero or Google Wifi. The Wi-Fi 6 AX1800 / AX20 will likely still outperform these routers thanks to some of the features included with Wi-Fi 6 routers, like OFDMA to manage connections to multiple devices more efficiently, along with beamforming, which can improve signal strength further away from the router.While there is a financial reason for the WiFi standard mismatch (laptops and PCs cost money), understand that we should be able to better simulate a home or office network when the client devices are more diverse. As for the server device, these are its specs: I know that a lot will say that these tests are not purely objective and yes, the results will differ depending on the amount of interference, the location and the type of client devices. Surely, there are better multi-client tests out there, such as the octoPal, but that will have an impact on the wallet and not many professionals bother with non-enterprise wireless networking devices since the cost is just too high. So yeah, netburn and net-hydra are the best we got for now. While simulating 4K streaming and web-browsing at the same time on all 5 client devices, we can see that the latency spikes for about 10% on two clients (one WiFi 6 and one WiFi 6E, as expected), but then only the MacBook Pro remained below the set limit for 99% of the time, the other clients experiencing latency spikes for 5% of the time. TP-Link AX5400 AX73 – Multi-client stress test using 5 client devices – 4K streaming & web browsing (5GHz, 80MHz). The lower the score, the better. The Archer AX50’s speed of 689Mbps on the 5GHz close-proximity test was again faster than the D-Link DIR LX-1870 (569Mbps) and the Linksys MR7350 (662Mbps), but slightly behind the D-Link DIR-X1560 (712Mbps). That said, its speed of 231Mbps on the 30-foot test took top honors.

To do so, I had to rely on a client device equipped with an AX200 WiFi adapter (TP-Link TX3000E) and on a server device that will be directly connected to the router (via an Ethernet cable). For the first test, I connected the client device to the 5GHz network (160MHz, OFDMA enabled) and, upstream, I measured an average of 938Mbps at 5 feet and 363Mbps at 30 feet. Like ubiquiti uses by now VERY old chips but they made their own which leada to them having the option to make the best possible equipment exactly to their need.It’s also worth mentioning that I tried to keep the same distance between the client devices and the server (same as when testing the other wireless routers), but since distance means little, I decided to share the attenuation that was detected at the client level. The ZimaBoard 832 is positioned the farthest since it’s connected to a TV (it works as an alternative to the built-in computer) and the signal strength is -65dB, while the other four clients sit in the same room as the TP-Link AX5400 – the attenuation was -33dB for the WiFi 6E PC and it ranged between -38 and -43dB for the other three client devices. 4K and 1080p Streaming – 5 Client Devices TP-Link has unveiled the Archer AX53 IPv6 IPoE compliant Wi-Fi 6 router, which provides high-capacity connection without stress even amid congestion.

With Archer AX55 and RE605X, I haven’t stumbled upon this problem and the smart connect feature seems to be able to connect all my devices around the house to the proper wireless channels accordingly.You can manage the AX50 with the TP-Link Tether mobile app for Android and iOS devices, or you can use the web console. Both are easy to use, but the web console offers a few more advanced options such as DHCP Server, NAT Forwarding, Firewall, and IPv6 settings. The main body is 260.2 mm wide, 135 mm deep, and 41.6 mm high, with four external antennae. The suggested utilization environment for a detached home is three floors, four stories for an apartment, and a maximum of 42 units. The unit is expected to be priced under 79 USD/EUR. This means that users will experience noticeable buffering fairly often. What about the fast web browsing? It always remained below the 1.5s limit, so all is decently well. The question is whether the clients were able to go to the 25Mbps limit and were they able to remain there? TP-Link AX5400 AX73 – Multi-client stress test using 5 client devices – 4K streaming & web browsing (5GHz, 80MHz). The focus is on the web browsing. The lower the score, the better.

A final feature worth mentioning is OneMesh, which lets you pair the AX53 with other TP-Link routers to create an extended network. It’s a tempting option for a router like this, as it means you can grow your network organically by adding low-cost extenders as needed, while retaining the convenience of managing everything from a single dashboard. HomeCare is a cool feature that comes included with the AX50 for no extra cost. This feature is absent from either AX1800 router model as well as the AX3000 from Walmart. The AX50’s wireless specifications meanwhile are promising, if not exceptional. Its 5GHz radio is rated at 2,402Mbits/sec with the use of 160MHz channels, and 4×4 MU-MIMO helps compatible clients maximise their transfer speeds.Mediatek is used as well just another chip. Often qualcomm isnt since they ask a lot for their stuff whilst not reallt offering a benefit and making products needlessly expensive. Currently, WiFi 6 and 6E can use 2.4GHz, 5GHz and 6GHz (the latter with WiFi 6E) independently. There is no band aggregation implemented for individual wireless clients.
