AX50 runs hot thanks to its poor case design preventing passive heat ventilation. When you are barely able to keep your hand on the router, it is not typical - it was typical for older Asus routers, but they lasted 2-3 years max. It starts to be pretty unreliable after about a year when the dust gets in and when the thermal pads start to degrade - restarts and dropped connections. Also the power consumption is awful with AX50 (12-15W with about 5 devices connected). Intel chip in AX50 is really powerful, but that is the only good thing you can say about it. AX10 and AX20 are fine tho, they just reused the same case for AX50 with double to triple power consumption and heat output. AX20 is good for most people, if you need more, get AX73, which has awesome cooling design and has better performance. EDIT: I just connected Archer AX73. Much better signal strength - medium transmit power is basically the same as high in AX50 and the power draw is 6W, which is less than half of the AX50.
Decent review, wouldn't have mined a bit more detail in the distances and such, but it was good. Kudos for the FF6 music, and the general comedic relief during it :) You got a subscriber from it lol
Can you review the tplink ax21. It’s also 1800 but a newer version. The 1800 in your videos all are the same ax20. Can you compare both please. Also one thing to note is you can get a tplink extender and mesh with any wifi 6 tplink routers except the ax3000(ax50). Onemesh is really good for router to extender because improved speeds and auto band selection when moving through house. Would really help if you can review and test all these functionalities
Hey, you never confirmed if the AX5400 reached the top floor far end part or not, I was waiting on that lol. I am curious about that because my home is small but made out of all brick. I know it's a problem on its own but how'd it do with the AX5400?
The only differences that I can see are: - 3cores vs 4cores - 2.4 GHz: (802.11n) vs 2.4 GHz: (802.11ax) Personally the extra core doesnt matter to me, so its down to the 2.4 difference. How much of a difference will ax vs n for only 2.4 be? On my network I have a about a dozen IOT devices on 2.4. They are all kind of old, so im not sure what version of 2.4 they are running. From what I gather, older devices wont take advantage of the newer tech. I am pretty cheap, so I dont see myself adding a ton of new devices on this otherwise 2 user network. Ax 1500 and Ax 1800
FINALLY, FINALLY, FINALLY SOMEONE WHO TALKS CLEARLY, CONCISE AND WITHOUT NEEDING A DAMN 10 MINUTE VIDEO TO TELL THE OBVIOUS. SIR THANK YOU. YOU SHOULD RUN A TECH CHANNEL NOT THIS WORDY MF
Very great one bro, thanks Quick question for you hope you can explain some for me, I did purchased the tplink 1800 like your and use for 3 weeks first two doing great 3rd week start to drop wifi while my girl in school, my. Laptop status say aeound 600 to 750Mbps, wifi signal drop so I went out get a netgear RAX20 also 1800 they call set it up use so far 2 weeks in no issue but the only thing different is my laptop status say 173.8Mbps and tay there, maybe a few more, do you have any idea why? Or maybe I need to do some setup with the netgear router? Please advise, Thanks bro
I need a router for a 3 story home with concrete floors .mobil gaming. Ps5 online and tvs on the setup .had a orbi with a satellite and losing signal alot .what set up do you recommend?
If you are srs about gaming, you need that game system hooked into hard wire connection. Your best bet is to install main unit on ground level, and have other systems repeating above and downstairs. For a 3-story home with concrete floors, you'll need a robust Wi-Fi setup to handle mobile gaming, PS5 online gaming, and streaming on multiple TVs. Since you've had issues with the Orbi system losing signal, here are a few recommendations: ### 1. **Wi-Fi 6 Mesh System** - **Asus ZenWiFi AX (XT8):** This is a high-performance Wi-Fi 6 mesh system known for its strong signal coverage, which is particularly useful in multi-story homes with concrete walls and floors. It supports multiple devices simultaneously and delivers fast speeds, making it ideal for gaming and streaming. - **Netgear Nighthawk Mesh Wi-Fi 6 System (MK62):** This system offers reliable coverage and speeds with Wi-Fi 6 technology, reducing latency and improving connectivity, especially for gaming consoles like the PS5. ### 2. **Powerline Adapters with Wi-Fi Extenders** - **TP-Link AV2000 Powerline Adapter:** These use your home's electrical wiring to extend your network's reach. Paired with a Wi-Fi extender, they can provide a strong signal on each floor. This can be particularly effective in concrete homes where traditional Wi-Fi signals struggle to penetrate. ### 3. **Dedicated Gaming Router** - **Asus ROG Rapture GT-AX11000:** If gaming performance is a top priority, this tri-band Wi-Fi 6 router is designed for gaming, offering low latency and strong, stable connections. It can handle multiple devices without compromising speed, and it works well with a mesh system or Wi-Fi extenders. ### 4. **Placement and Wired Backhaul** - **Router Placement:** Ensure your router is centrally located on the middle floor to maximize coverage. Avoid placing it near thick concrete walls or in corners. - **Wired Backhaul:** If possible, use a wired connection between mesh nodes or from the router to key devices like the PS5. This ensures the best performance, especially in a concrete structure. ### 5. **Tri-Band System** - **Eero Pro 6E:** A tri-band mesh system like the Eero Pro 6E can offer an additional 6GHz band, which reduces congestion and interference, ensuring better performance for gaming and streaming across multiple devices. This combination of a strong Wi-Fi 6 mesh system, possibly enhanced with powerline adapters or a dedicated gaming router, should give you the reliable connectivity you need across all three floors.
0:32 says "none of this units mesh" and then he says they mesh... ATt 7:44 he says again it doesnt mesh. but i see in tplink website that it supports onemesh i have a precise doubt: i want to buy the AX20 and the RE505x, will they two make the "onemesh" connection and have it all around the house? my house is long and i dont want my device to connect to another signal when i go from side to side (like i do now, and have to wait that it disconnects from the further router and connect to the nearest repeater, or viceversa) To sum up, will AX20 + RE505x do the "onemesh" thing and i wont have the desconecction-reconection problem? thanks!
Hi Nev, I love your review and you answered all of my question in regards with this comparison, can you also recommend what kind of Dlink will go on par with this routers with mesh with the same price range?
Yes, it is more stable with the latest firmware, but it gets worse when the dust gets in - random restarts and dropped connections. It can barely cool it when it is new and the power consumption is another issue - 12-15W with 5 devices connected. My old Archer C6 used 3-4W. Intel chip in AX50 is powerful but also a total garbage in terms of thermals and power consumption. The only way to reliably run the AX50 for more than 2 years is to put a fan on it. EDIT: I just connected Archer AX73. Much better signal strength - medium transmit power is basically the same as high in AX50 and the power draw is 6W, which is less than half of the AX50.
No it does not. None of the reviewers in youtube point out this important fact. Very disappointing that TP-Link removed this feature in their newest routers.
Hey bud! If you want to stream, you want to use hard-wired connection. Unless your on your phone I guess lol. If you are using a phone, make sure you are close to your router =)
Router bueno lastima que tp link perdió su esencia de router en el software ya que es para nada administrador de redes solo funciona como un puente del modem del proveedor con capacidad de más equipos y antes que me digan que no es un puente confirmen donde permite administrar el ancho de banda para cada equipo y que esta se pueda establecer al valor requerido donde permite crear reglas de salida con horarios y por equipo o rango de equipos que estas funciones si están presentes en las anteriores versiones de tplink de su software más antiguo, las nuevas versiones ya no permiten esto en lugar de adicionar mejoras quitan servicios y funcionalidades de un router en conclusión para que funciona un router si no es para administrar su propia Red a su gusto

No, AX50 doesn't support WPA3 and OneMesh yet. They said it will get it, but nobody knows when. If you need more performance, get AX73, or stick to AX20 which is enough for majority home users with 10-20 devices. EDIT: I just connected Archer AX73. Much better signal strength - medium transmit power is basically the same as high in AX50 and the power draw is 6W, which is less than half of the AX50.
the wifi of the xbox doesnt match the wifi 6 of the router. the potential is limited by the box. to get a real sense of the speed of the internet, to devices must be of the same generation, wifi 6, 5ghz, 802.11ax
Many false information I have no clue where did he take such data. I have 3 of these routers they mesh in easy mesh and I am able to have over 100 megabytes a month second fake info
I feel like I am at an amusment park or carnival with the music.
I want funnel cake!

Ax50 is the older version of ax53.
Glad this was the first result when searching for reviews. Hope your channel grows fast, especially since your reviews are so encompassing.

ArcherAx20 Mu-Mimo 2x2? or 4x4 ?
For a wifi plan of 300mbps download speed, which would you recommend to save budget?
300mbps is very slow
Is there any AX routers with multi WAN??
What is the range of AX3000 as compared to AX1500
They must've refreshed the 1800 as it now supports mesh

Great review, thank you. Which WiFI analyzer are you using?
I can get 400 Mbps on speeds with the 1800x but I can’t get more than that and I have a gigabit connection
