TP-Link Archer AX18 Router 1500Mbps WiFi 6 Router with 4xGigabit Ports

Review of "TP-Link WiFi 6 OneMesh Router, AX1500 Mbps Gigabit VPN Router, Dual-Core CPU Fibre Router, WPA3 Cybersecurity, Ideal for Gaming Xbox/PS4/Steam (Archer AX18)", bought for £44.99 (31% sale price): I just got this set up today. I am very IT literate and it was easy to configure, and even for a non-geek it would be easy to get it working. I am using it with Plusnet Fiber and I just needed to put my credentials into the PPPOE section and click connect to get it working. I get the full speed of my Fiber connection (300 down, 50 up) and I can get that speed on LAN and on my phone via WIFI, with my previous router I got half that speed on WIFI. Note for geeks - I normally use routers that I flash with DD-WRT, but sadly this isn't an option for this router due to the closed source Broadcom chipset. The web-UI isn't fantastic, but I was able to configure all the more clever stuff I do with DD-WRT on it. I wanted to setup a VLAN and it has something called IPTV/VLAN, but I couldn't get it working, am not sure if it is me or if it doersn't do what I expect it to. I was able to setup a guest mode that has WIFI network that you can isolate from the LAN so that does what I needed the VLAN for. The router is very light and the front of it is hanging a couple of inches u pin the air due to the weight of the cables at the back pulling on it. It has a nice feature that you can turn off the LED status lights on the front, something I normally have to block off with other routers to stop them being annoying. Overall very good router, especially for the money.

I’ve been running the Archer AX55 for a week now, and honestly — it’s been one of the most stress-free upgrades I’ve made in years. Here’s the lowdown: 🛠 Setup Plug it in, open the app, done in under 10 minutes. The TP-Link Tether app is actually decent (rare for router apps, which are usually garbage). You don’t have to be some networking wizard — it’s super intuitive. 📶 Performance The Wi-Fi 6 speeds are excellent. My old router was choking with more than 6–7 devices online; this one easily handles 10+ (laptops, phones, smart TVs, a couple of cameras) without flinching. — 5 GHz band is rock solid — great for streaming, gaming, Zoom calls, whatever. — 2.4 GHz still covers the house for low-bandwidth stuff like smart bulbs. I’ve got about 1,600 sq ft, and it covers the whole space, even spilling into the garden. ⚡ Stability What surprised me most? Stability. I haven’t had to reboot this thing once since installing it. No random disconnects, no weird drops at night. It just sits there and does its job quietly — which is exactly what you want from a router. 🌟 Extras It’s got decent QoS, OFDMA, and WPA3 support if you’re nerdy enough to care. But even if you’re not, it comes preconfigured smart enough for 99% of people. 👎 Any downsides? — No multi-gig WAN/LAN ports. But if you’re not running fiber >1 Gbps, you won’t care. — The UI in the browser could be prettier, but eh — minor gripe.

Cant fault it, I used for garden room and the speed is better than indoors! Full service/ coverage from one end of room to other 7m (its in an office at the end with a wall in-between) set up using the browser method on my laptop but can do it on the phone. Great piece of kit for sixty quid well worth it.

Bought this so I can WiFi split and have 2.4Ghz and 5G separate as my BT hub was too basic and needed Alexa to connect to my existing equipment. It was easy to setup although I had to reset a couple of times as it wouldn’t let me back in after changing the SSID and passwords. But I got it going ok in the end and quite quickly. After looking up my BT login details and entering them it all connected ok and all is up and running as I wanted. It also has a guest option in addition to the usual SSID’s, this I like and missed from my previous router. All in all I’m happy! Would recommend for a cheap router, has all that is necessary and won’t break the bank.

Didn't want anything too fancy, but got sick of Virgin Media hubs being poor with wireless signal, so I looked for admittedly a low priced router to see if anything would help without breaking the bank. Seen this for £39.99 and thought I'd give it a try. For starters, had to put my Virgin Hub into modem mode and then connect via ethernet to my new router (so 2 plug sockets used). Probably the only downside, but this is due to Virgin Media, not the new router. Signal is drastically better its not even funny. For £40, it solved Wi-FI issues throughout the house and more devices connect without issue. Also it gets slightly warm, whereas the Virgin Hub was very warm. Speeds appear to match what I should be receiving so this is great. Looks smaller than the Virgin Hub but runs better. Appears to be reliable across the board, has 4 antenna and has 4 ethernet ports (I'm using 1 to connect to the hub). Can install the TP-Link app to set a few things up and configure the router which is very nice. Would highly recommend and for £40, after getting this, wish I got this much sooner. Just saddened that the hubs provided by Virgin only seem to do a fraction of this.

Excellent piece of cat very easy to install, unboxed and set up within 15 minutes using the app. Gave me 200 more megabytes of speed compared to the BT Home hub in exactly the same spot. Value for money was very reasonable. Appearance does look a bit futuristic with all the antennas but obviously this is good coverage.

Not quite sure about this AX18 router. It basically works well on our full-fibre connection and speeds and coverage are quite good - but our tv, which is in the same room, keeps disconnecting while streaming and there is quite a delay when first connecting any of our devices, also slow accessing some websites. It's a shame, and that shouldn't happen, so I may have to revert to our old Plusnet Hub Two which didn't have those problems and although more basic was totally reliable. I thought this would be an improvement, but sadly not. I will keep as a backup.

Great bit of kit, initially purchased because our service providers hub was unreliable with connections. Had an instant considerable speed boost when switching to this router and no more drop outs.

I've had this router for about a week now, and would recommend it. I'm now able to fully utilise the capabilities of my 802.11ax devices, and there is no longer any slowing down from having 20+ devices connected to the home network. It's a very cost effective upgrade from the standard router that your ISP gives you (which was wifi 5 in my case), with much better wifi signal throughout the house. Very easy to setup and use as well with the TP link tether app.

Mit einem Glasfaser 600 Anschluss, dem Archer ax73 für 120 € und einem neu angeschafften re900xd für 99€ habe ich nun genau 590 Mbit, mit stabiler Verbindung und 4ms Ping in meinem Büro anliegend. Router selbst steht an eine unvorteilhaften Stelle im Kelleraufgang. Eine Lan-Kabel Verlegung kam aus optischen Gründen nicht in Frage. Trotzdem ist die Situation mit dem Archer ax73 perfekt und kostengünstig gelöst. Ich wählte den Archer ax73 aufgrund der starken WLAN Sendeleistung und den externen Antennen. Vorher hatte ich die 7590+ 1200ax repeater von Fritz. Der Fritz Router sendete nur minderwertig mit WLAN 5 und schaffte ca. 330 Mbit. Der repeater schaffte ebenfalls etwa 320 Mbit aber mit super schleter Stabilität und Ping-Spitzen. Ich tauschte erst den Router mit dem Archer ax73 aus. Resultat guter Router mit hervorragenden WLAN und dann den repeater mit einem re900xd. Ergebnis ist phantastisch. Die Kombination des Archer ax73 und dem re900xd ist perfekt. WLAN Werte sind seitdem perfekt. Knapp 590 Mbit per WLAN am Endgerät anliegend und eine stabile Verbindung ohne Spikes und einem 4ms Ping zum Gerät. Ganz klare Kaufempfehlung für eine günstige Alternative zu Fritz Geräten. Gpt empfohlen mir vorher eine teure 5560 mit einem ax3000 repeater, welche unverhältnismäßig teuer mit 260€ und 160€ gewesen wären. Ebenso empfahl gpt nach dem Kauf des Archer ax73 mit den 3000ax von Fritz zu holen da mein Flaschenhals dann der 1200ax von Fritz war. Wäre ich darauf eingegangen, hätte ich einen Fehler begangen. Kein Mesh und kein dediziertes WLAN backhaul. Dediziertes WLAN backhaul funktioniert nur zwischen Fritz Geräten. Der re900xd für 99€ hat ebenfalls ein optimales dediziertes backhaul welches frei einstellbar ist. Für 120€ für den Archer ax73 und 99€ für den re900xd habe ich nun Glasfaser 600 perfekt bedient. WLAN ist ebenfalls perfekt geworden. Auf die Frage an gpt, wieso gpt ständig Fritz empfiehlt kamen erhellende Antworten. Mehr Marketing, Produkte suggerieren bessere Verbindung, sind aber gleichstarke Alternativen, aus Angst verbundene Sicherheitskäufe an den Markennamen. Keine Frage, Fritz Produkte sind okay und gut aber der Mehrpreis ist immernoch zu hoch. Zumal andere Produkte halb so viel kosten und gleich gut oder sogar besser sind. Der ax73 sendet besser als eine Fritzbox, hat externe Antennen und kostet unter der Hälfte der Fritzbox. Manche bemängeln die Einstellungeb des Archer ax73. Für mich sind die besser und logischer einzustellen als bei einer Fritzbox. Hier habe volle Kontrolle bei den Einstellungen. .ueren qhcrud uzWLAN alw timDecke kced enieund Wände ednaw eleiv snu INach ausgiebigen Tests: 5 Sterne, klare Kaufempfehlung für einen starken WLAN 6 Router.

Modem puissant , placer dans une maison longue et mur épais. Il fait son travail

Routeur de qualité il me permet d'étendre ou d'apporter de mon Wi-Fi à la maison. Facilement configurable il fait très bien le travail et permet un maillage parfait mon du signal. Je recommande

Işını hakkıyla yapiyor, telefon ile 730mbps leri gordum, kablo ile 1gbps hızım var. Araya duvarlar girince ise 260mbps civarlarında dolaştı, fiyat performans iyi
