TP-Link Archer AX53 AX3000Mbps Dual-Band WiFi 6 Router, Fast Full Gigabit Ports, Ultra-Low Latency, EasyMesh Compatible, WPA3, Optimal for Gaming, Works with Alexa, VPN Server Supported

The TP-Link Archer AX53 has been fantastic for our home network. Setting it up was quick and easy, and the AX3000 speed really makes a difference — streaming 4K videos and gaming online is smooth with no noticeable lag. The dual-band feature helps keep devices stable even when multiple people are connected at once. Coverage is excellent; I get strong Wi-Fi signals in every corner of my house. The interface is user-friendly, and firmware updates are simple. Overall, a reliable router that delivers fast, consistent performance at a reasonable price. UPDATE ITS STILL GREAT

Very reliable. I have been using it with my digital mixer (XR32) and have not had any issue at all.

I bought this due to limitations with the BT Smarthub 2, and more specifically the admin controls both within the BT app and the web admin console. My first observation is the AX3000 wireless signal is significantly better than the smarthub's. I live in a tall house with 3 floors, and there is no loss of signal anywhere in the house. We also have a lot of wireless signals broadcasting in the neighborhood, and none of them seem to have caused any interference problems. TP-Link's admin interface is way better than that of the Smarthub's. It's cleaner, faster and more intuitive. My main motivation was to prioritise and control bandwidth across multiple devices. This is not possible with the Smarthub. It's very easy to setup using QoS with the AX3000. One minor limitation, and I'm not sure if it's because I haven't spent enough time playing around with the feature, is that you can only prioritise devices and not explicitly set the bandwidth limit per device. The set-up is easy and takes no more than a few minutes. The basic security and parental controls are decent enough, but if you do require further flexibility then you'll need to subscribe to HomeShield for around £16 a year. Overall I'm satisfied with the product. Pros: - strong wireless signal - admin controls - good interface - QoS - Bandwidth/speed limit control per device - Security Cons: - subscription required for HomeShield -- update 07/01/2024 -- There are speed limit controls per device in the Tether App which work very well, so updating this to 5 stars

I'm on virgin media, they gave me the hub 3 which is absolutely terrible. The wifi kept disconnecting. I complained and they sent me another hub 3 which was just as bad - the wifi kept dropping and I'd have to turn my wifi on and off and put up with stuttering MS teams calls. I suspected it was the wifi signal so I bought this. Setup was reasonably straight forward although the app is kinda basic. You have to put the virgin media hub into modem mode and then connect it to this router and then restart the virgin media hub otherwise it wont work - theres a youtube video on it basically if you search virgin media modem mode - its not the top one but theres one with a guy explaining you need to reset the modem in the correct order. I followed the app and after a little fiddling it worked and the connection has been solid non-stop. No more signal drops, no more MS teams issues. The ONLY criticism is the app on my phone doesnt seem to update the firmware even though it says it does. You begin an update, it completes and then it says the firmware is still outdated and hasn't been applied. It doesnt really make sense.

I’m with Virgin, the router they provide is absolutely terrible. I contacted them about this a few times and the only way they can upgrade the router (which isn’t much better I’ve looked) is if I change my package. I already pay £65 per month & considering the upgrade they provide isn’t much better I thought I’d try one of these routers, and honestly from setting it up to checking internet speeds and range, it’s awesome! I made the mistake of reading the instructions before installing the app, it seemed like such a blag on paper but luckily I installed the app and the app literally did everything for me. The app told me what to do step by step and in about 5-10 minutes I was connected. Switched all my devices over super easy and my pc that’s upstairs (my router is downstairs) usually got like 36mbps. I have a 250mbps package with Virgin so I wasn’t getting even close to that. I did a speed check before and after installing the tp router. As I mentioned above with the Virgin router I was getting 36mbps, with this router I’m now getting a stable 180mbps. That’s an insane jump. I’ve done the test 3 times on each and all three times the tp router was over 180mbps. I’m obviously very happy with that. The range has also increased significantly, I couldn’t even get wifi in my kitchen with the Virgin router, now I have it in my kitchen and even in my back garden. The app is really easy to use and shows you who’s on your router, if you have any security threats and other little useful things that I haven’t used in the past. Overall I’m really happy with it so far and would definitely recommend it, especially if you’re with virgin 😂

Couldn't be happier with this device! As an IT Manager I was really pleased with the functionality of the advanced features as well as the optional extras. For non-IT users please understand that the optional extras are not required! It's a gorgeous unit, a mix of gloss and matt black, 4 aerieals that aren't oversized to look like they do more than they're actually doing. The power is a standard plug, no power brick inbetween the unit and the plug socket. The dept of the router means it fits on a nice slim table leaving room for other bits - picture to follow and will edit this bit out once uploaded. Setup is easy and very well guided, without intimidation, although it will try to get you to start a trial for optional extras you don't need, but they are good. I would recommend setting up the mobile app and adding the device so you can manage, if needed, without a computer. I would say it's almost on par with the Netgear Nighthawk app. Wifi range, strength and device distribution is incredible, down to being WIFI6, and I can't wait to renew my EoP devices to get the best out of the Ethernet ports.

I have had a number of tp-link routers over the years and have nothing but praise for the brand. This model has given me nothing but days of grief. I have tried twice. 1st Router stubbornly refused to link to my Givenergy dongle and had to be returned as it is a necessity for managing my solar system. The WiFi was absolutely great for both speed and distance cf BT Smart Hub 2. 2nd attempt after discovering a work around. Ignore the app and set up offline, especially disabling the 5Ghz WiFi and as before changing SSID and password to match old router. Plugged everything in and all went brilliantly except the router would not install the update it kept pestering me to download. The app suggested I might want to change device names and did this for the dongle. The router then dumped me off the network. Several hours of deep joy talking to Givenergy produced no joy really. Left router connected over night and I woke in the morning with a fully working system, dongle and all. My happiness quickly dissipated when I realised that the dongle was dropping out after around 20min and staying offline for 1 or two hours before coming back online for another 20 mins or so etc etc Whilst trawling around on the net looking looking for ideas I got the impression that downloads of pages were sometimes feeling quite slow. Whilst looking in wifi connection settings there was 'note' saying I would be connected when connection speed improved. This triggered a series of speed checks over several hours which showed that the dongle disconnected when connection speed dropped. My 500Mbs nominal line speed (normally 521Mbs), usually gives a stable WiFi speed of of just over 300Mbs with my old router. At the same area of the house with this second router it showed a high of 350 and a low typically very unstable between 0.9 and 8.5. Totally unacceptable... Back to Amazon for refund. And before any snide comments: I have tried restarting the router, factory reset and reconfiguring. Also restarting my Givenergy app, clearing it's cache and uninstalling and reinstalling the app and 1hr + on the phone following guidance given by a Givenergy installation specialist. I am not having a 3rd attempt as I would lose the wiil to live.

Positives: * It works as advertised * Its UI is clear, super responsive, easy to use and informative. * Packed with a host of features Negatives: * None so far I replaced my internet provider's own-brand router (Virgin Media Hub 3.0) with this. I put the Hub 3.0 into 'modem mode' and connected this via ethernet cable and got it sorted pretty quick with the setup feature of the router. This product boasts a lot of additional features and they're all very easy to setup and work as advertised. For example, it can easily setup 3 separate WIFI networks for you, your main network, a guest network, and a IoT network (for your smart home devices) to keep everything separate and stop any compromised guest/smart devices from allowing anyone access to your main devices. There is also the 'tether' app you can download or free and link to the router to manage it from the mobile app. If you create an EasyMesh network (using other TP-Link wifi extenders that support EasyMesh) it can also manage the extender devices! Its got a lot of easy to use extra features such as per-device speed limits, setting priority devices, access point mode, as well as all the usual router config stuff.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 Stars Really impressed.....Setup was quick, and it immediately fixed the weak WiFi spots in my home. The connection is steady, the speed feels a lot faster, and everything just works smoothly now. For the price, it’s a solid upgrade. Definitely worth it.

Great value product. Works heaps better than my old outdated router. Fast delivery and overall fantastic value.
