Replace your providers router
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this item knowing it probably wasn’t going to make a difference going into it but easily the best 100$ I’ve spent. It doubled my range and download in every room compared to the original spectrum router. I no longer need an WiFi extender.

Mid Range WIFI6 (AX) Router Beats Expectations
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Short review - This is a "mid range" wifi 6 (ax) router that will work and exceed most people's expectations for its price. Details - This is a wifi 6 router, which means it supports the new wifi convention ax, the previous ones were known as ac, n, g which have now been renames as wifi 5, 4, 3. This means that newer devices that are wifi 6 compatible will really benefit from the new tech which will clear up any congestion on your home network. But if you are using older devices that only have an ac wifi card in your device, do not worry, ALL wifi 6 routers are rated for backwards compatibility. With Wifi 6 , it also comes with MU-MIMO technology, which in laymans terms means you will be getting much better stable connections between all your devices. The 1800 in the ax1800 stands for up to 574mbps on 2.4ghz channel and 1201 mbps on 5 ghz channel. Frankly I am not sure what the difference between the Archer AX20 vs AX21, since both are listed as Archer AX1800. This might just be something to differentiate between retailers. As far as I can tell on their website the specs are the same across the board. Ethernet ports are rated for gigabit, so thats going to be plenty for most of residential users. The USB port is unfortunately only 2.0, but can still hook up your hdd for a network storage solution. I have this placed in a central location in the house, coming from from a dual band ac600 (300/300) router, I am getting amazing speeds, but importently I am getting 5-4 bars in all 7 rooms in the house, 4 on the same level as the router, with 2-3 walls in between, and the 3 rooms in the basement. I am slowly getting more wifi 6 devices, such as my smartphones, laptop (you can easily upgrade wifi cards in your laptops), ps5 and I am getting amazing wifi speeds. I pay for the 1000 mbps internet service, and at best I was getting around 450 on the 5ghz channel about 10 feet away, with one wall. Now on the TP Link AX20, I am now getting 800-900 on the 5hz channel about 10 feet away with one wall.

Q: QuestionWill this product work with DSL to replace my current DSL modem that was provided by my DSL provider. I currently have the DSL providers modem and I have a TP link mesh system?
Asked by ME.
- A:Answer No, this is not a DSL modem and does not have a DSL port (RJ11 phone jack). However, it can be used in conjunction with an existing modem to provide your home with WiFi 6 connectivity.

Q: QuestionCan wifi 6 be disabled. I don`t have any wifi 6 clients yet, and i have heard that it can cause some problems that way
Asked by Arj1.
- A:Answer Technically yes; however, WiFi 6 is backwards compatible with previous WiFi protocols so you should not encounter any difficulty if the router utilizes this feature. In some rare cases - e.g. some laptops that utilize specific Intel WiFi chipsets having difficulty connecting to WiFi 6 networks - a simple driver update on the wireless device (e.g. laptop) should address the concern.

Q: QuestionDoes this router get firmware updates? Are they installed automatically? How often does this happen? The security setting is it WPA3 Personal or just WPA3? Does it matter? Thanks.
Asked by Apprentice.
- A:Answer Hi! 1) Yes. 2) No; however you can conveniently apply firmware updates via the web GUI or the Tether app. 3) This will vary depending on whether or not an update is warranted (e.g. to address performance, bugs, or security as the need arises). 4) WPA3 Personal is the recommended encryption type for home networks.

Q: QuestionHow many devices can connect to this mesh network of this router (assuming you use an extender(s) too) simultaneously? I cannot see anywhere in the specs that this is given.
Asked by Plasterman.
- A:Answer Hi! The Archer AX20 is a WiFi 6 router; it is not a Deco Mesh WiFi router. If you are interested in Mesh WiFi solutions, please consider our TP-Link Deco Mesh product line instead.
Answered by TPLinkSupport

Asked by Chuck.
