Smart WiFi 6 Router (Archer AX10) – 4 Gigabit LAN Ports, Dual Band 802.11AX Router, Beamforming, OFDMA, MU-MIMO, Parental Controls, Dual-Core 900MHz Processor, Works with Alexa

I have only had this a little time. I will share that the product worked as expected. I was able to connect the router to hotspot and share it in client mode without issues. I was very happy because I was trying to do this with an outdated DD-WRT router which only supported the G band wifi. The old DD-WRT router I had was too slow for the purpose and couldn't keep a constant signal. This TP-Link was able to keep good speed / no connection drop (as of now) and has surprised me in its ease of setting up thru a wizard and a PC browser thru the LAN port. All was easy going and no issues. I was happy that wifi could be turned off and it just shared the connected wifi via ethernet only as I wanted. The price is cheap compared to me trying to source a new router and the hassle of flashing DD-WRT to one. As long as it holds up without connection drops, the price was well worth it to me. So far happy.

Have used this extensively at home and on the road for months with zero issues. Connected to every hotel, airport, and coffee shop I’ve tried, with solid speeds — usually, only a function of the host network. Extremely easy setup and configuration, as router or hotspot. I consistently use the web-based interface over the Tether app, only because I don’t want yet another app to have to manage. It’s straightforward and intuitive, and I am up and running within just a couple of minutes wherever I go. Compact and lightweight, takes up very little space in my kit. Firmware also successfully updated.

I'm currently on a vacation trip and have been using this device nightly when I'm in my hotel rooms. I've been to five hotels in six days and I've had this router set up each night. While I was still at home I practiced both using the router in both tethering and router modes, but tethering is the preferred method I use in my hotels. This is also what I'd suggest users utilize if they are in public spaces such as a cafe/coffee shop, in school, or a public library. Tethering runs the local Wi-Fi signal through the router, but the user connects devices like computers and tablets to the router's SSID, not the available public Wi-Fi signal. An app on my iPhone (there is also an android app) guided me through the setup steps. Each new local Wi-Fi network is scanned by the router, the local password is entered, and the router then allows me to connect to that signal through the router SSID. The router uses both the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands and given the proximity of all of my devices to the routers, I've been able to use either band with similar results. The router rarely drops the signal and thus far I've not had any issues. I'm logged into the 5 GHz band as I type this review. TP Link has a winner with this product. It is simple to setup, easy to use, reliable, and affordable. I believe I paid $39.99 USD for my device, though it may go on sale during various Amazon sales events throughout the year. I purchased my router just a couple of weeks prior to my trip, so I didn't have the luxury of watching price fluctuations. The router is lightweight. I don't have the exact weight, but it's just a few ounces. It easily fits into my computer bag, and takes of very little room. It has a USB A slot on the back which can be used to access USB flash drives, but I mostly use that port as a passthrough charging station for my tablet. I had used a competitor's travel router for a few years prior to purchasing this device, and I found that other router more difficult to use and less user-friendly. Maybe I'm biased towards TP Link as I've used other networking devices made by them and am partial to the TP Link brand. In days when hackers can be anywhere, having a travel router is a simple step to keeping private data private; TP Link offers a safe, reliable, and affordable option for basic computer users to protect themselves while using public or unsecured networks.

At the end of last year, I’d picked up my first dual-band router—WiFi5/AX1500 (not one of the top three brands, but a good one nonetheless). Whether I wanted them to or not, my provider (Spectrum) increased internet speeds and upgraded my modem, and that router wasn’t keeping up with things. I’d kept my eyes open for a quicker, more current router, and this one was on sale for about $55. I have used TP-Link routers before and find them very reliable. Since the modem is 1GB, I wanted something more compatible and, also, I pay for 4K on one of my premium streaming services, and my speed and bandwidth with the AX1500 wasn’t offering me that quality. Because I’ve used TP-Link (and was currently using a TP-Link extender), I already had the Tether app on my phone and tablet. That made it very easy to set up this router. Note that this Archer AX-10 dual-band router can either use Smart Connect to choose between 2.4 and 5 Ghz bands or you can set them up separately. I prefer separate, especially since I have something like six smart outlets and eight smart lightbulbs configured, and the outlets and bulbs were pretty finicky with my older router. I have to say that the range on this is very good. My home is about 2400 sf; 1800 upstairs and a large studio room downstairs. I’ve learned to keep my router high up on a piece of furniture, and so the signal makes it through the house pretty well. (Signal strength decreases in the farthest room. And, as you probably know, 2.4 travels farther than 5 Ghz.) But the range, speed, strength, and stability of this router exceeds my previous one. When watching certain streaming channels, they would lag or freeze using 2.4 in more distant rooms, but I haven’t found that to be the case with this. The signal is very solid. That said, I am a little disappointed in the speeds, but maybe this is what they’re supposed to be as the router is handling many devices. And I haven’t taken the time yet to call Spectrum to find out what the story is. This is at least twice as fast as my previous router. While the Tether app was very useful for the initial setup, more advanced settings are available on their website, which Tether leads you to. That, for instance, gave me the option to update the router’s firmware, which, on my setup, did increase speeds a bit. While my A1500 was giving me only 13 Mbps on my farthest 2.4 Ghz Roku, this has increased that to 31 Mbps but also given that stream much more stability. My 5 Ghz speeds went from 91 to ~220–240 Mbps on a Roku and my 4K Smart Fire TV, which are about six feet away from the router. (I learned that the Fire-TV's ethernet port is limited to about 100 Mbps.) Speed tests for my laptop and desktop Macs show about 450 download (more than four times AX1500 WiFi5 modem) and 22 Mbps upload (which, I assume, my provider is limiting). I had questions about the direct-connect speed with the smart tv, and posted a query in the manufacturer's user forum, and they answered and solved the problem within a few hours. I thought I was very clever naming both 5 and 2.4 bands the same as the previous modem with the same passwords, but yet, I had to relink everything—every smart bulb, every smart outlet, every device (the devices and computers needed me to enter passwords again). That took a while. I’ve read this is not the latest update of WiFi 6. It’s a little beyond my technical expertise but reviews say it doesn’t support 160MHz channel width or WPA3 encryption, and it lacks USB ports. I don’t need USB ports and the other “deficiencies” (such that they are) don’t bother me. For the price I purchased this at, it’s certainly improved my internet speeds and stability. I do need to call my provider and see exactly what speeds I should be expecting, but this router seems fast, reliable, and strong.

الراوتر ممتاز جدا حل مشكلة التقطيع التي كنت اعاني منها وكذلك المدى يصل إلى جميع الغرف كل ذلك بسعر رائع

Very efficient device

It's a very nice router it's work fine I like it very much

Best travel router for this wifi generation. Compact and literally plug-and-play for connections, once you’ve set up the admin component. This router has the same capabilities as full-size and far more expensive ones. Tether app is well designed and easy to use. Get it on sale, and use the savings to buy a travel case (Amazon sells many specifically designed for this router).
