Asus ZenWiFi AX vs TP-Link Archer AX50

Have the Asus ZenWiFi AX mesh in our 2000 sq.ft., 2-story house, and no problems with 2 iPhones and 2 iPad Pro's. They're always connected, and the reliablity and wireless coverage of the mesh is great

I bought this in December of 2020 (sorry for late review), as my Netgear Nighthawk R7000 broke again after yet another firmware update (about the 3rd time this had happened). I had to fix the Nighthawk by factory resetting it, installing firmware and re-configuring my network. This frustrated me so much I decided to check other options, as it felt like Nighthawk would fail soon. One of those options I considered was the TP-Link AX3000

At the very bottom of the screen are the Home, Devices, Insight, Family, and Settings buttons. The Devices button opens a screen where you’ll see a list of all of your network clients. Tap any client to view upload/download statistics, block internet access, and limit bandwidth availability for that client. Use the Insights button to search for available AIMesh nodes, share your Wi-Fi credentials, enable the remote Connection feature that lets you use the app when you are away from home, and view security information such as how many malicious sites were blocked and how many infected devices have been detected

And this is where you create your Wi-Fi password, name it Lamar M'kay and password subscribe it next from RMK for the 5g. Network will keep the same p...

The ZenWiFi AX finished with an average download speed throughout my home that was second highest among all of the Wi-Fi 6 mesh routers I've tested. Only the Wi-Fi 6 version of the Netgear Orbi was faster. Ry Crist/CNETThe Asus system shone in these real-world tests. Over multiple days and across dozens of speed tests, the ZenWiFi AX never once dropped my connection or stalled out as I moved from room to room

The AX50 is a dual-band AX3000 router capable of reaching maximum (theoretical) speeds of up to 574Mbps on the 2.4GHz band and up to 2,402Mbps of the 5GHz band. It's powered by a dual-core CPU and uses the latest Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) technology, including OFDMA packet transmissions, MU-MIMO simultaneous data streaming, direct-to-client beamforming, and Smart Connect (band steering)

I get full speed (100%-120% of what I'm paying for) on the 5ghz wifi network everywhere in the house. I am using 400mbps internet and have no speed issues anywhere. The devices look great (I think they're asthetically pleasing and look like art). When people see the ASUS mesh device they don't think it is a router

yay! My throughput speeds tanked on this router, which is easily verifiable as I have the rented cable provided gateway which I can switch back out of bridge mode, and also my neighbor's gateway network (1 floor up) which I can switch to on-the-fly and has the same level of service from Comcast fed from the same line from the same pole. For reference, I only have about 4 devices actively on the TP-link, so it isn't even tasked hard. Also, the traffic monitoring feature (for monitoring data usage) is terribly inconsistent and therefore useless. And even the Wi-Fi 6 is mostly useless, including OFDMA, unless ALL your devices support it, which is astoundingly unlikely for probably a decade (think of all the smart devices, cams, locks, switches) that are still on 2

If the node needs to be that close what's the point in having the note at all? If I could return this, I would. If you want a really robust router go away from home routers and find a commercial router. I've sent it logs and records all kinds of technical reports, and I'm getting so tired of this circular loop of tech support that I expect the warranty will expire before ever solve the problem. I think Asus a good brand overall, but but at a $400 price tag, this router is way too unreliable

So Recently we checked out the TP Link Archer AX10 on the channel, which is a really great budget Wi Fi 6 router, but it was kind of a basic router, s...

I need to improve the wi-fi performance in my home. I have a three-storey house, with some brick/concrete walls which create dead spots. I cannot use powerline adapters (I have used some that were rated to 300mbps, but I rarely get more than 30mbps through them despite having 300mbps internet service to the property). I cannot wire ethernet cable, as it's just too difficult with all the brick and concrete and two flights of stairs - no partition/sheetrock walls or conduit makes it a huge pain

Lately, we have been experiencing unsustainable slowdowns. My first step was to upgrade our internet from 150/15 to 500/20, which I thought would provide a solution. If anything, it made matters worse.

Is it worth the money compared to others? Probably not. I paid the premium for the 6g backhaul channel since I'm not able to run ethernet. Probably would have sufficed to have gotten the XT8 and been just as happy. But, I figured that since I live in a highly populated apartment building, why not future proof a bit and see if connectivity is superior

My phone use to only receive up to 20 Mbps now it gets 60 Mbps, big improvement. I’m pretty contempt with the smaller slick design of this model to that of the AC1750 tp link model. Only downside of this is the cost of it, it’s a lot more expensive than the Tp Link AC1750 model but it’s worth the price. Oh yeah, I almost forgot to mention that the installation process was a piece of cake since this model supports the tether app, an app that makes the installion process easier and allows more features to be used in hand
