Nice review am going to have to get one of these, as i'm stuck with a shitty superhub 3 from Virgin !

[@SPACEHARICE]

My provider says 4000mb Will this tap that?

[@sleepingwarrior4618]

I notice the ping time was actually slower on the new router. Interesting given how latency is a big part of their sales pitch in their advertising.

[@tharealestmccoy]

Nobody is talking about whether this router is mesh ready? It wasn't at launch, has this changed?

[@jesuslugoz.16]

Hello, good afternoon, friend. I see that this router does not have bandwidth control. Do you know if there is any way to individually manage the speed of the connected devices, it makes me desperate that it does not have that option

[@motorsportidagpodcast3661]

How many Units can you can you use with this one? Like Phone ipad etc how many ?

[@tsvkanta1336]

How does the Link Aggregation work on this router and can leave the first port (blue) empty and connect both the incoming connections in LAN 2 and LAN 3?

[@RHolmezy]

Does it support Wireguard VPN configs?

[@KrayZeeCoolGuy]

Nice video...can I ask which Internet Provider/Hub U have & also are there many differences between this & the TP link ax6000?

[@placidohernandez9542]

Can you just have this and them use the I tercer or will you need something else to go with it?

[@policani]

Does it support mesh? How many ports work with link aggregation? The MB8600 has 4 gigabit ethernet ports and I cant find a router with more than 2 bonded ports.

[@slaysi]

Great review, and I never even knew something like this existed and it really can help you get the most out of your ISP. My internet drops all the time on Sky and this would really help. Just one question though. Can this be used as my router instead of my actual router? Because I like to use the TP Link AV600 powerline for a wired connection without having an Ethernet go through the entire house. Just one Ethernet from the router and into the wall and one Ethernet into my pc and into the wall upstairs. Would I be able to do this with this AX11000?

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

It doesn't have the modem. But you could run the ethernet from your Sky router into it and then the ethernet out for the power line. You know that powerline adapters can be an issue though as they rely on wiring in your home and signal can flux based on simple things like power surges. Also if the issue is with disconnects and poor service into the house then upgrading the router won't help. Have you talked to ISP about the issues?

[@slaysi]

The Provoked Prawn Thanks for the reply, my internet doesn’t disconnect but I only get around 45 mbps on average with Sky Q hub when I am paying for 75 mbps on average. So I was wondering if buying this new router would increase the speeds to what I am supposed to be getting? Also I forgot to mention that my power line adapters are plugged into a surge protected extension lead.

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

@@slaysi oof. I'd do multiple speed tests and keep them as proof and complain to Sky. You must have a minimum guaranteed speed.

[@vuatrochoi8715]

Why dont you use Ping test in cmd in order check how stable pings are?

[@zaboomafia]

I get 10 to 20ms ping through 3 walls after the 4th wall it goes to 60ms

[@g0203]

Lol you went from the standard router to this gamefest beast lol

[@italiano5187]

Any help would be appreciated my router keeps stop putting out internet service a month at a time and I have to power cycle the modem and router. Thanks

[@rimudengaming1686]

I'm really keen to use it but I'm struggling to set it up. I have tried to linking it to the older modem. I took the older modem away as well and tried it that way as well. The place I'm in has fiber to the node so I dont know if that would make a impact.

[@gotti614]

How is the software on this router compared to netduma OS?

[@gioflores96]

What is the range?

[@Alvarez38006]

Anyone the range on this thing ? I got a decemt size house and im having problems with getting a decent connection on the further side of the house .

[@albusbombadil1921]

So after an upgrade of your ethernet cable and an insane upgrade of your router... you gained 10Mbps? I have a TP-Link Archer C2300 and I get 98Mbps (wifi) and I don't have CAT7 either. Why is it so slow?

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

My internet is slow in the first place. (Max 50mbs at the time)

[@Gabriel_Oliveira626]

hello, i would like to know if this router supports cable internet CAT8. Please, answer me, i wanna buy this gaming router. Thanks for the attention.

[@isaiahmedina4147]

Does this work on consoles like Xbox one or ps4?

[@erickgomez1321]

So will this fix and delay in video games?

[@ejfung]

I was a bit confused with the type of ethernet you used from the modem to this router. Are you saying that using a Cat6 would be preferable to use vs the cat5. Thus giving off faster speeds? Not sure where/when to utilize the upgraded cat cables from modem to router!

[@reddirtchilis]

he says cat 7. i don't know much about networking but i'd assume cat 5

@@TheProvokedPrawn Thanks for following up. I was able to score one for $237 today at Walmart. It's a bit older now but I feel like it's still a beast and you don't get a ton more with some of the 6E offerings yet. Till they have WiFi 7 I think this unit will hold up.

Out of curiosity, why did you go this route instead of getting a mesh? Were there features on this that the mesh couldn't do?

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

Well, mesh is great but Wi-Fi coverage wasn't my main concern as I really wanted my wired (ethernet) device to get the most power/control. Plus the gaming focussed elements and such. Though obviously the coverage is insane anyway. I went from one bar or no signal at the far end of my house to full signal with no issues.

You still need a router from your internet service provider. This is not a replacement for that.

[@heinzkitzvelvet]

Ok. I have this router. I also have a great deal of WiFi speakers throughout the house. I use a USB 3.0 Flash Drive hub to run all my digital albums/movies thru my speakers/TV, sort of a poor man's DLNA/NAS setup. My question is, how do I name the different flash drives, so that I can tell which drive I'm accessing? The router itself assigns each drive default names, but I want to assign names so that the speakers app, and the TV app will display the names I chose. So far, I haven't been able override the default naming scheme.

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

Alas, i have no idea I'm afraid, that's not something I've tried. Sounds mad. Love it.

How is this vs a mesh setup?

[@chigtychek]

This is a mesh setup. They added OneMesh to the AX11000 via firmware update. www.tp-link.com/us/onemesh/product-list/ You can see here its listed under the OneMesh compatible devices. There are a few extenders with AX WiFi if you want that hotsauce to go with your AX11000.
