This is a router, its job is to talk with all the stuff in your house and then hand over the data that wants to go out to the internet to the modem from your internet provider. This router can handle up to 10 gigabytes a second on two of its ports, 2.5 gigabytes a second on one of it's ports and the four together are each 1 gigabyte a second. Your base speed is set by you internet provider in different packages, I will us my house as an example. Right now I have 500Mbps plan from Spectrum (was TWC) and Frontier just finished putting new fiber in the ground and I will be moving to them and a 2Gbps plan. This new plan is 4 time more bandwidth than Spectrum (it's even cheaper than them too for Spectrum's 500Mbps). Now Frontier has 4 plans a 500Mbps, 1Gbps, 2Gbps, and 5Gbps, So Those are the speeds I can get and this router can support those speeds. If you don't have access to anything higher than a 1Gbps plan this may be a little over kill and pricey for what you get. As there are much cheaper units that have just about the same features.
@@R2D2arthurge $110 for 2.5Gb/s in San Diego they wanted $180 for 5Gb/s. the bay area is so well connected 10gig is very competitively priced around SF/oakland area 😩😭
@@R2D2arthurgeu got a deal i pay 198.00 for 5gig and 2 extenders...it was nodifferance than my 2 gig with 4 eero 6 mesh routers and was paying 173.00 for that
I currently have the tplink AX6000. Was thinking about getting this because frontier moved into the neighborhood andbis offering 1gig fiber service. Think it is worth it? Could still get fiber with AX6000 but i do like how the AXE300 has a fiber port.
I'm actually returning the Asus for this router. Asus was meh.... I've been using TP Link for the last few years but my old router couldn't handle all the traffic, 75+ wifi connections and a 6000 sq ft home. I thought the Asus would do the job but it was a huge disappointment. My new 16000 router will be her by Wednesday this week!
FYI, this router does not let you port forward to port 80 when remote management is enabled. I have replaced it with the Asus ROG Rapture GT-AXE1600. Big difference in speed also.
Are you sure? According to documentation of TP-link is possible to define remote management on custom ports User Guide Chapter - 16. 6. Remote Management
You were getting 100mbps inside a 1300sqft house. Ummmm...this alone wouldn't work for me. Im in a 3500sqft house. I'll still need to deploy some APs or run the One-mesh on each floor. Damn
USB 3.0??? All this speed flying around can we get 3.2x2? I'd take a USB-c connector while they're at it... 5Gbps vs 20Gbps on nas would be night and day...
BE95 is Wi-Fi 7 with MLO, have different Wi-Fi technology In my opinion, it's more future-proof even without the same number of ports as AXE300 And it is in different price range also.
@renatoantunes9579 so true. I ended up getting 2 sets of BE95s and then sent them back due to tplinks poor software record. 3k cdn was just too much for wifi 7 that isn't really needed. I ended up buying 2 sets of three pack x55s for dirt cheap 700 cdn total and fairly happy with them. I have to reboot once a week to keep them working though.
You will. Just be patient a little bit. Tp link like many other big name Chinses brands starts with the U.S. market first before spreading out to the rest of their market areas.
I use wifi 6 and I get more speed 2.3gb wired and around 800mbps wifi. Your router is too overkill for your provider. I highly recommend you upgrade to atleast 2gb otherwise its such a waste.
Duh lol u not gonna get 2gb over wifi u get the fastest speeds on wired connection only reason anybody would consider getting this is for the 10gbe connections for a nas or LAN devices
I don't see anything impressive with this router. Not for me at least. The quad core processor and 1 GB of RAM are also not anything new that Tplink itself hasn't done already with lower AX models. In short. The high cost does not justify the usage.
I turn regular houses Into smart houses , this new one I got came with fiber and I’m getting 5Gb/s with fiber. What router do you recommend for 40 devices and competitive gaming and streaming simultaneously
@@R2D2arthurge You need to decide between two totally different WiFi approach before choosing any particular router. A- Conventional Routers B- Mesh based Routers. Each has it's overall pros and cons so define your usage and choose your approach first. Then if budget does not limit your decision as you mentioned yourself and Conventional Routers would be your way to go, I would recommend getting the powerhouse and also future proofing Asus model ROG Rapture AXE16000. This is the router I have recently upgraded to and I am extremity happy with the performance, flexibilities and network built security features. Good Luck
I've not seen any lower TP models with an SFP port. Which cheaper models have that? Everything I run is fiber, even inside my walls. So if there's a cheaper TP model with SFPs, i'm for it.
For anyone seeing this, you cannot use 2 tp-link routers to form a mesh. You can only buy some special types of devices (repeaters) from tp-link, and use them to extend your network.
what if your internet provider is slow in a Rual area? i dont get it??? do you have to already have fast internet speed or not?

Frontier i believe are the ones that carry these and its fiber so it should be very fast anywere shouldnt be a problem were ur at
I just got Sonic 10gbe fiber service here in Oakland, California (for $40/month I might add!) and this may be on my Xmas wish list!
BS !!! No way for 40 dollars . I’m about to pay $154 for 5Gb/s with fiber through Frontier and it is unlimited internet. Who do you have ?

Could you compare this to the new Asus AXE16000 ROG router?

User Guide Chapter - 16. 6. Remote Management
what port in the router did u have connected for your ethernet cord running to your computer?
As a user of the six gigahertz band, it sucks, unless you're standing on top of the router. Anything more than 20 ft away is useless with 6GHz.

Subscription? Nuts? How much a month?
Mega/Gigabit. Not bytes.
Which ethernet cable we are getting with router?
Cat 6 enthernet cords
USB 3.0??? All this speed flying around can we get 3.2x2? I'd take a USB-c connector while they're at it... 5Gbps vs 20Gbps on nas would be night and day...
If anyone reading this had a choice would you run 2 of these or a 2 pack of BE95s?

In my opinion, it's more future-proof even without the same number of ports as AXE300

599?! Wow. My isp is giving me this free. 5gig to my house soon!
They aren't doing us any favor buddy. It is going to pay off based on what the subscription fees brings back for them each month.
@@Revolutionized yeah I know 😢
No difference than my ASUS 11000 on 6 vs this one 6E... exactly same speed wireless and wired. Let's see if WIFi 7 will improve!

Can a Xiaomi AX9000 compete with this ?
Xiaomi is Chinese spyware lol it's banned in the US for a good reason
Bit not Byte!
gbps is gigabits per second NOT gigaBYTES per second
500 Mbit/s via wi-fi - totaly fail.
its not Gigabytes per second, its GigaBITS per second. Also MegaBITS per second, and not Megabytes per second.

Possible to connect two of these together to create a mesh network ?
I believe I saw in another video that you can use other TP link devices as a mesh network. There is a setting in the interface to set it up
For anyone seeing this, you cannot use 2 tp-link routers to form a mesh. You can only buy some special types of devices (repeaters) from tp-link, and use them to extend your network.
