We have lived in my house for over 10 years. It’s an older house built in the 60s, There are 6 of us in the house 4 adults, one 13y and one 7y. We have 3 ring devices, 4 Alexa’s, 6 fire sticks, 6 computers, 6 gaming consoles, a generator, and we all have iPads, cell phones etc, so there are a lot of devices connected to our wifi, so we’ve never had great luck with the range or performance of our internet signal. Things would buffer alot or we’d have dropped signals, so I was always restarting the router. We use to have Brighthouse but currently have Spectrum with just internet, We upgraded our internet to 1GB over a year ago and was given a dual band wifi 5 router that never really worked for us perfectly, I believe it was because it couldn’t support 1GB, but didn’t know that until I got this router. We were using an extender so we could connect to our generator and ring camera that was located outside, and just so you can have an idea, on our generator the wifi signal was at 2%, which was fine but if we wanted to connect anything else outside it was almost impossible. So we contacted customer support about the issues we were having, and they sent us there newest router the wifi 6e router, mind you we were still using the extender. It worked good for a couple days then it stopped. A lot of buffering and a lot of devices wouldn’t even connect to it like my Oculus Quest 2, my husbands work computer and more! I couldn’t even connect our ring camera outback, and the generator outside was getting 0%-1% signal, so the signal would drop a lot. I figured it was because a lot of things still aren’t compatible with wifi 6. So we called support again they did manage to get everything working for about 5 days, then it would stop again. So we called support for the last time and they told us to try to buy a router ourselves. So I happened to come across this one. I was pretty skeptical, thinking it may work as well as the dual band one we had only maybe a little better. The setup process was so easy! Didn’t have to call Spectrum at all! I do wish that the parental controls, security+ and, QoS was free. But they do give you a free month with any of them. So I did the security+. The app you use with it is great! There are a lot of tools in the settings. You can have it auto connect to a network or set it up separately so you can choose 2.4, 5 or 6G, which is what I did. You can have a guest network, optimize your network performance and a lot more! Everything connected perfectly with excellent signal! So I figured I would try to connect the generator and ring camera outback without the extender just for kicks, since I was feeling optimistic?? The ring camera connected perfectly with excellent signal! Now was the most important test, the generator????? Connected it for the first time and I see 22% signal!!! I was SOOO excited! Then I went to the farthest part of my backyard with my cell phone where Iv never had wifi signal before and I had 3-4 bars of wifi signal!!! I couldn’t believe it! This thing has GREAT range, GREAT performance, and is easy to set up and use, what else could you want! It’s been a couple weeks now, no buffering! and everything works flawlessly! I couldn’t be happier! No one complaining for me to fix the wifi anymore and no restarting it twice a week! I would definitely recommend this to anyone that has horrible or just ok wifi signal. The only flaw I can say about it is needing a subscription for the extras. Otherwise just go for it! You don’t like it just return it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Day 1 - excellent router so far. Will update.
Reviewed in the United States on October 27, 2022
Style: WiFi 6E, AXE5400, Tri-BandVerified Purchase
Upgraded from the Archer C3150 V1 (which was an upgrade from another TP Link router before that). Excellent upgrade. Set it up yesterday in about 3 min. I am an IT Professional for a living, so yes, my opinion on what's "simple" might not be the same as others. But that said, I imagine the interface was so simple anyone could set it up in less than 10 min. It walks you through everything. My 3 min included custom settings and port forwards, virtual servers, VPN, the works lol. Simple setup is great for beginners but if you're looking for more advanced features like these just click advanced and go to town.

My old C3150 did a solid job for 4 years, but recently started having issues. The 5Ghz would almost never work, and the router needed rebooted once a day ish. I don't hold this against TP Link tho, because I have had Netgear, Asus, Lynksys, TP Link, you name it, I've worked with it either at home or at work, trust me, they ALL go bad eventually. From my experience, TP Link has the smoothest firmware, the longest life (4-8 years for me so far), and most reliable connection. The main reason I started with TP Link at home 12 years ago was because it was the only brand that gave me the FULL speed that my ISP was sending me. I pay for 1 Gig, and on a TP Link, I get 1 Gig.

Anyways, signal around the house is significantly stronger with this than with my old Archer C3150. Ranch style house, router is on far end (worst spot ever, but best I could do). Old router would only get the 2.4 G to other side of house, with about 10Mbps on my phone. This one blasts all three bands strongly all the way out the other end of the house lol. 400Mbps on my phone standing right by the router (Samsung Note 20, non-ultra), and 150Mbps when I'm aaaaall the way on the other end of the house in the bedroom with the door shut. 100Mbps out the garage and on the sidewalk. House is ranch just under 2000 square feet. So distance/wall wise it's about the same as a 3500 sq ft 3 level house. This thing will do just fine in any average house. My basement is not counted in that sq ft and still gets perfect signal.

Good thing about this router is is works with TP Link mesh ad ons, so if I ever decide I need an extender I can get one later. Pretty sure I won't tho.

All in all, great start to a hopefully long 5 or 6 years with this router. Again, I only got it yesterday. If anything changes I promise to update this review right away.

5.0 out of 5 stars really fast and easy to set up

Bought this to replace my old belkin router. I was experiencing really slow speeds despite using an ethernet cable. The internet would randomly go off, and playing any sort of online game was almost impossible. I thought it was bad service in my area, but after getting this, everything is so fast and smooth and no issues using wifi in other rooms through two or three walls. the interface is easy to use and allows you to control who is connected. you can set up guest wifi or different bandwidths and turn them off if you wont be using them. Overall really happy with this purchase.

5.0 out of 5 stars works great
Reviewed in the United States on May 20, 2024

I was having a hard time with my previous router was dropping signal during peak times in my neighborhood. Between 7am and 9 am and between 7pm and 9 pm in th evenings it would disconnect for 10 to 15 seconds then reconnect. I checked my throughput was 375 mps down and 300 mps up) my jitter 1 ms and no packet loss. I had never heard of this brand but several trusted tech sites had great reviews so I decided to take a chance and I am glad I did.

Since connecting the TP three days ago not a single drop has occured. Setup was the easiest I have ever experianced, it took less than 5 minutes once the router after the ethernet cable was plugged in. I just download the ap to your phone and followed the instructions. I did not rate the tech support since I did not need to use it.

to sum it up- easy setup, great speed, and very stable signal

I have no idea how this thing works. I just know it absolutely does. No more reboot. We have 3 phones 2 tv ,3 computer's, and a Xbox, iPad. They can all be used with no problems. Very easy to setup range is what we need we live in a 3 bedroom all on one floor home. It is costly but so worth it. You will not be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best router for LOTS of connected devices and speed
Reviewed in the United States on September 13, 2023
Style: WiFi 6E, AXE16000, Quad-BandVerified Purchase
Good:
2.5gbe, 10gbe, fiber connections allow you to use the full potential of your internet provider and your network almost(10gbe is more like 6gbe but I don't have enough devices to absolutely need 10gbe)
Wifi coverage is absolutely outstanding out of the box and even better when you tweak a few channel widths and channels in the very simple (for me) setup. I can cover a dull 2500sqft home with full high speed wifi with a single device. Not even my Asus Rapture ax11000 could come close. In the main areas where the router is located most wifi devices connect up to 1.4G. I can pull 800mbs from the back deck 900 on the front porch, 1g in a far bathroom and 500mbs in the farthest room/corner of the house.
Connected Clients. This is where the Axe300 shines. I've tried several routers and setups to easily alleviate my main issue with most home routers and mesh. Regardless of what anyone says, most routers start to act up to almost shut down once you get in the 40 device range. I have a very connected home and since I lease I can't go running ethenet drops everywhere and don't care to invest in a mocca and think even the best powerline adapters are not the greatest. I currently have 63 IOT type wifi 2.4 devices on my network, 8 sonos speakers in a mixed ethernet/wifi setup, multiple IP cams, 2 wifi door locks, a wifi doorbell, 4 phones on wifi, 2 3k tvs on wifi, 2 4k tvs on ethernet,1 ps5 on wifi, 1 ps5 on ethernet, a Nas on 10g ethernet, up to 3 macbook pros on ethernet, sometimes an android tablet or two on wifi and I can still pull the numbers listed above when I try to stress everything I can and run and control everything I can. This router just keeps chugging. 2.4 wifi is the best I have had since the old days of great 2.4 only aps/routers, openwrt, ddwrt, boosted signal strength, etc. Even with all the IOT devices I have never seen less than a 65mbs connection to one of them or not been able to pull 60 to 70mbs down from my 2.4 wifi iot/guest band and maintain the FULL upload of my provider (super drops in upload with lots of WIFI iot is usually rhe first sign of your router not being able to handle the connections, then usually ping next and then jitter..)
Bad:
To me it's ugly. Like I stepped on a spider and it's dead upside down. Ymmv. It's clunky, definitely not pretty or sleek.
Web interface just works but I'm a DD-WRT, tomato, openwrt, unifi, managed poe switch kind of guy and miss some of the customizations/features even the Omada or even dare I say an Asus router sometimes gives you.
To me the tether app sucks. It works perfectly but you cannot see connected device connection speeds, rssi or even the rudimentary cpu utilization and ram usage you can with the web app.
Would be nice is you could "properly" use smart connect for all 4 radios. You can work around this though easily.
There are a lot of mesh devices (I won't even need any of them) that are not compatable yet with their mesh system.
All those are little nags. The only thing I really do not like about this router is no SQM support for buffer bloat. I don't have buffer bloat issues but without more detailed controls on the router settings and/or SQM some customers may not see the full potential a router of this capability/cost can do.

Overall for all in one router/ap for lots amd lots of connected devices plus full access to 10gbe, 2.4gbe, your over 1g provider connection I do not think you can find a better one. Even the new BE routers that are wifi 7 from TPLINK (they were the first to make them) have less 2.4 wifi capability and until something totally changes with cheap wifi IOT, 2.4 wifi is going to be where it is at foe the interim.

5.0 out of 5 stars Router Powerhouse
Reviewed in the United States on May 25, 2024
Style: WiFi 6E, AXE5400, Tri-BandVerified Purchase
I don’t submit many reviews, and if a bad product I usually return anyway. This router is a powerhouse. My main interest in this router was its’ transmission range. We bought a new house with three floors where the internet connection comes in on the third floor in a fully enclosed pantry. When I saw where the internet connection was, I initially thought I would need WiFi extenders at least on each floor. Not only do I not need any extenders, this router provides excellent signal strength on every floor and even good strength outside in the yard. It is exceptionally easy to set up and provides the latest and greatest 6Ghz, along with 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz, where our laptops and phones aren’t even capable of connecting to yet, but this router is future proof for the next generation of devices which will be 6Ghz compatible. This router is penetrating several walls and floors and just works. They say you often get what you pay for. You simply cannot go wrong with this router and will save you money in the long run not having to buy any or fewer extenders. Happy surfing my friends.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic speeds for a competitive price!
Reviewed in the United States on December 24, 2022
Style: WiFi 6E, AXE5400, Tri-BandVerified Purchase
I upgraded my Internet speed in spring 2020, in the early part of the pandemic to 1GB to keep up with 4 laptops, 1 desktop, a Ring camera with chime, a Ring security system, two Roku sticks on smart TVs, 1 Ubiquity WAP, and two NES Switches (among other Wi-Fi devices), TV streaming, and online PC gaming. As our Internet-home grew, the devices with Wi-Fi connected devices exceeded 20. With the upgrade, I had to replace my coaxial router/modem to a permanently installed Frontier modem and an Arris NVG468MQ router that could take a WAN Ethernet port. The Frontier-provided Arris router was not new, low range, and buggy. I went through 3 of these Arris routers in 2.5 years with full Wi-Fi bars but with exactly the same errors ("Connected, no internet", "No Internet, secured", etc.). Nearly pulled my hair. The family was not happy either. Although the Arris router is compatible with 1GB Ethernet upgraded speeds, it appears to cap at about 600 MB. Believe me, I NEVER, ever, got close to 600 MB with Arris. At an OK speed check I would get 30-60 MB Wi-Fi speeds and sometimes crack 100 MB on my Wi-Fi connected laptops, and maybe a bit higher on my Ethernet-connected desktop. On my Samsung S20 phone I would get 80-120MB speeds.

When the Frontier tech visited to check my Internet problems on the second Arris router, I gave him the list of errors (4 in total, two that I named here) and right away he said it was the router and just gave me another one (the 3rd one at that point). Since I had him at home, I asked him if I could buy a router from Best Buy or Amazon and just "plug it in?". He said, "Yes, your Internet setup is plug-n-play, just make sure the router has a blue or red Ethernet port." With that information I started some light research figuring I had maybe a year before the "new" Arris router would get buggy again. Well, it took about a month and I started getting the same exact errors as the previous Arris routers I had replaced. Although the Arris router "corrected" itself a few days later, I was done with Arris routers from Frontier. I sped up my research urgency for a new router from better known brands. At this point I felt I had control over the brand and price point I could buy knowing that I only needed a router and not a modem since Frontier installed a permanent modem when they upgraded my Internet to 1GB speed.

Having read about 6E enabled routers--catching up on the newest router/Wi-Fi standards--I figured that a 6E router would be the best option for me as a "future-proof" investment. I narrowed the search to TP-Link, Netgear Nighthawk, and Asus models. This TP-Link AXE5400 beat all the other brands in price for roughly similar, or at least comparable, reviews, features, and range. I purchased this TP-Link AXE5400 Tri-Band WiFi 6E Router (Archer AXE75). TP-Link AXE5400 had excellent reviews on Amazon but also across the Internet from reputable technology websites and sources. I did not rely only on Amazon reviews given the issues with bogus reviews. The "plug-n-play" setup at my home with a Frontier 1GB speed was just that easy. Within about 2 minutes of connecting the TP-Link AXE5400 router, all the lights came "on". I rushed to my Ethernet-plugged desktop and opened my browser. Right away I saw the TP-Link landing page asking for an admin login and password setup, and an Admin account. Several steps later, I reused the previously used SSID and password credentials to minimize connectivity disruptions on all my Wi-Fi-enabled devices and in a flash I was connected to the Internet. I might have spent maybe 20 minutes total, from unboxing to setup to Internet, with some thought-provoking time needed to come up with a new login and password for my TP-Link account.

My desktop Ethernet-connected speed test blew me away: I broke the 700/800MB download/upload speeds! I ran a speed test on my Samsung S20 but got the 100+ MB speed that I had gotten with the Arris router. I wondered if it would make a difference if I "forgot" the SSID on the phone and then log back in to the same SSID and password? Sure did! After I "forgot" the SSID on my phone and logged back in and ran a speed test, I broke the 800 MB download speed on the phone. Fantastic! My laptop speeds exceeded the 200 MB download/upload speed marks. Another laptop hit the 190/200 MB download/upload speed marks.

Although I am kinda rushing with this review, I feel I made the right purchase and that this TP-Link AXE5400 will outlast the last 3 Arris routers that this router replaced. I will return to review in a few months with good or bad impressions at that time. But, right now, I am a happy dad with a happy family.

5.0 out of 5 stars I only use the 6 GHz portion of this router.
Reviewed in the United States on June 21, 2024
Style: WiFi 6E, AXE5400, Tri-BandVerified Purchase
I bought this after reading all the positive reviews. I bought this to complete my wireless set up with 6 GHz. I was only using the Eero 6E for my wifi (which is still good), but because I live-stream 3 streams to the internet 24/7, I can't have the upstreaming signals interrupted (or they get dropped by YouTube). Since the Eero 6E mesh system frequently changes channels to avoid crowding/interference on the 3 wi-fi bands, this channel change results in my losing internet connectivity for my live streaming channels. To get around this nuisance problem, I use the TP-Link AXE5400 Tri-Band WiFi 6E Router as the Gateway for my network. The Eero mesh system follows behind. The TP-Link is locked on one 6 GHz channel, and the Eeros are free to change their 6 GHz, 5GHz, and 2.4 GHz channels as they wish, without interferences. Although, I could activate the 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz on the TP-Link, it would just add more interference to already crowded wi-fi channels.
It works for me, and the rest of the family members and home network appliances operate on the Eero mesh network.

Didn't realize how bad I needed this until I installed it. What a difference it makes in coverage. Paired it with a TP-Link extender, easy set up; Tether app and TP-Link to the router get it up and running in no time. Signal is stable, streaming programs to my TV has improved. Glad I did this.
