Great WIFI 6 Router, with VPN Client.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 March 2025
Style Name: AX3000 Mbps WiFi6|2.5 Gigabit PortVerified Purchase

Bought this for its VPN Client function and faster speeds, as replacement for existing TP-Link router (One Mesh). Swapping out the two routers was quick and easy, pairing with all our devices around the house - including our RE450 extender - was simple and 100% effective.

Setting up VPN client on the router (NordVPN) was straightforward, and works like a charm.

Really happy with the extra speed and VPN capabilities. The AX55 gives great coverage, fast speeds, plays well with devices that it should, and is supported with good set up instructions and software/app.

Great Router, But Doesn’t Work with iOS Private Relay
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 December 2024
Style Name: AX5400 Mbps WiFi6 GigabitVerified Purchase
The TP-Link Archer AX72 WiFi 6 Router has been an excellent addition to my home network overall. The performance is impressive, but there’s one significant drawback that impacted my experience. Here’s my review after using it for a few weeks:
Pros:
Fast Speeds: The WiFi 6 technology delivers excellent speeds, even when multiple devices are connected. Streaming, gaming, and browsing are smooth, and I’ve noticed an improvement in overall network performance.
Stable Connection: The router offers reliable and stable connections throughout the house, and the signal strength is excellent, even in areas that were previously weak spots with my old router.
Multiple Ports: The inclusion of Gigabit Ethernet ports and a USB 3.0 port is great for wired connections and additional device support. It’s perfect for connecting my desktop or other network devices.
Easy Setup: Setting up the router was straightforward using the TP-Link Tether app, and the user interface is intuitive, making network management a breeze.
Cons:
Doesn’t Work with iOS Private Relay: One huge downside for me is that the router doesn’t work with iOS Private Relay. This feature is crucial for privacy-conscious users like myself, and the lack of support is a significant drawback.
Overall Impression:
The TP-Link Archer AX72 is a fantastic WiFi router with excellent speed, range, and features. However, the incompatibility with iOS Private Relay is a big minus for me, especially considering its importance for privacy. If you don’t rely on Private Relay, this router would be a great choice, but it might not be ideal for privacy-focused users.

Great Signal all around the house
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 March 2024
Style Name: AX5400 Mbps WiFi6|2.5 Gigabit PortVerified Purchase
I recently purchased this router as a replacement of the Asus AC88U. After using Asus routers for years I wasn't so keen to move to another brand of router. My Asus router kicked the bucket and I stated searching for new routers on Amazon but I was a little discouraged as there are TOO MANY different types of Asus Routers. Asus are literally ripping the ass out of it when it comes to router models. There must be around 30 types of router which all do the exact same thing. It's literally impossible to chose from the bunch.
Luckily, our good friend Amazon was here to save the day. When I opened the Amazon app for another router search, Amazon had highlighted a featured router TP-Link AX5400. I was like, jeez that's a good price for a WIFI y router! I wonder is a loada oul dung?
So I started watching reviews of the router on YouTube and learned that this router is a little beast. It boasts to have amazing WIFI coverage and lots of features. Based on this, I decided to make the purchase. The router arrived 1 day later thanks to prime. The setup was easy and all of my devices immediately connected after I set the same WIFI name and password. I soon learned that I was able to get a strong WIFI connection all over my home. Better still, when I ran a speed test, I got 850mbps on WIFI and 930 Wired. I have never got those kind of WIFI speeds on any router. This to me was a positive result.
In a nutshell. For anyone that's looking a router with great WIFI speeds, loads of features and at a great price. Look no further!

Highly Recommended

Huge Improvement in wireless speeds and over-all wifi signal strength and coverage!
Reviewed in the United States on 31 October 2022
Verified Purchase
Update 5/21/24:
We just dropped our ISP and went with a new Fiber Optic 1GB ISP just on our street. no matter if you have a cable modem or a Fiber Optical connection, they all terminate to a standard ethernet connection. Our old cat 5e/6 ethernet cable works fine with this and were are getting ~800mbps upload and 725 mbps download speeds on wifi. (wired ethernet will almost always be fastest, but, our speeds are excellent for our wifi setup with the AX3000). I swapped out the WAN cable from my old Motorola cable modem, plugged in the ethernet cable from our Fiber Optic box, rebooted the AX3000 and bingo, back in business. It was that easy. The tech doing the installation here said he wished others would choose the right Router for higher speed internet services and he said he knows about the TP-Link routers and that the AX3000 was a great choice for our new internet service.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After about 10 years with an apple airport extreme that was working well, but, was outdated and no longer supported with firmware updates by Apple nor have adequate range in our house for Wi-Fi, I decided to look on Amazon for a newer and higher speed Wi-Fi six router.

I tried a couple of other brands of wifi 6 routers, but, they just did not work out that well and lacked the desired GUI and setup screens I wanted. The TP Link AX 3000 router was my next choice to try and its GUI, setup and performance has been superb since set up.

We use Xfinity\Comcast Internet service and our plan has a maximum of 450 Mbps download/12 mbps upload and right after setup, this router is seeing about 150 Mbps more speed using wireless in the house then AirPort Extreme could do even standing next to it. The AX3000 gives us our plan speed!

I tried many varied settings for the airport extreme to see if I could get more speed out of Wi-Fi including trying different channels for 2.4 and 5 GHz, as well as a few changes for ipv4 and ipv6 settings and nothing I've tried could raise the numbers at all and at best, speeds were best about 250 mbps for Wi-Fi when within a room away from or even standing next to the router. The attached pic for a speed test for the AX3000 was done a room away from the AX3000 which is mounted high in a closet situated in the middle of the house (in a hallway) for best signal everywhere inside. The wifi speeds I am seeing now are close to what my wired ethernet speeds are and at the speed our plan is. That's impressive!

What I'm seeing with the AX3000 for general Wi-Fi speeds are between 400-425 Mbps. I am also noticing a huge improvement in the Wi-Fi signal strength over-all. I can be at either end of my house or even out in the backyard now and still have plenty of signal and Internet speed to use.

I could not do that with the airport extreme in which the wifi signal strength fell off much quicker by distance whether I was in the house, or in my backyard (where there was a weak signal to connect to, if I could connect at all from outdoors).

We have a metal enclosed patio room and due to the metal walls, the Airport Extreme just could not reach there well out there from its closet/hallway location and internet speeds were reduced to around 200 or sometimes a lot lower mbps. I used a wifi extender out there as needed (with the Airport Extreme), but, as tested, the AX3000 has very adequate signal and speeds out there as well. Wifi speeds drop just a little out there using the AX3000 at around 375 mbps vs the 400+ mbps indoors and away from any metal. Impressive! No extender needed for my setup.

A few reviewers noted, there's some special settings required for the AX3000 and some cable company ISPs. We have Comcast/Xfinity and I ended up having to mimic the MAC address of our old router to be able to finally connect. Having the ability to use default, clone or a unique MAC address on the AX3000 made the setup so much easier. Comcast does have an app where you can switch over to the new router basically where you will update the MAC address (to the Comcast server for your internet connection) for the new router so it works with your cable modem. I chose to work around that so I wouldn't have to use any app and that works better for me if I ever have to put the airport extreme temporarily back into use because I'll be using the same MAC address as I am now.

Some of the routers I tried previously had no way to just put in their IP address and do the setup using a browser. These routers required an app to setup the router. The AX3000 lets you set up either directly at it's IP address using a browser or by using the free TP-Links "TETHER" app.

One feature I really like in the advanced settings for the AX3000 is that you can choose either to have the IPV4 and IPV6 channels separate (using two separate WiFi network names for the 2.4 and 5 GhZ) or combine them into just one name and the router in that case will choose which one (2.4 or 5 GhZ) to connect to based on the signal quality, the device wifi capabilities and the location of your devices. My air airport extreme only allowed a separate 2.4 and 5 GHz Network to select from, but, with the AX3000 you can combine both into one (network name) and let the Router handle the best and fastest way to connect to each of your devices. That's nice for me because one name to connect you for Wi-Fi and your Network is all you need. It just simplifies things a little bit. The setup for the Guest network is similar.

The AX3000 does have a very significant amount of adjustment and settings in the advanced mode, and I did change a couple things there, including the DNS servers that we normally use. Are use open DNS servers, using a primary and a secondary DNS and I put those into the router settings so that's where I'm connecting to (and then to Comcast). I have found better Internet speed overall when I'm using a public DNS rather than going directly to Comcast service. Your mileage may vary!

I also use TunnelBear VPN here and the AX3000 has the option to basically always login and connect through the TunnelBear VPN servers which is really nice. Again because it's a much outdated model, my Apple Airport Extreme did not allow that but with the AX3000 I have the option of having a VPN on 100% using the router to connect to the VPN servers and not having to deal with turning it on it on each device using an app...very nice!

Be advised that typically using a VPN will slow down your Internet connection a little because then you have a third-party access point in the loop that you're utilizing for your connection, but, for me, I have found that my VPN service does a superb job of keeping the Internet speed up substantially over a few others that I tried in the past which degraded speeds substantially. Given the large speed improvement using the AX3000, I'm fine with loosing some speed with a VPN. Also be aware the AX3000 has a full VPN setup that can b used to connect to your VPN through your router, rather then the need to install and use an app on each of your devices. VPNExress is supported in the AX3000 internally so if you have an active account with VPNExpress, you are good to go! My TunnelBear does not support router installation for it's app so I'm still using their app on each device to turn it on or off.

Moving to a new router is always a bit of trial and error and tweaks to get it right and become familiar with a new GUI and protocol on the new router. The AX3000 took some time to tweak, but, once that's done, you going to be very happy with the maximum speed it will give you as well as the great signal coverage it has.

Be sure to back up each time you change some settings. Its far easier to do that then try to remember all the changes you just made that did not work out. Backup and restore is the way to go.

So far, so good and I'm very impressed with this new wifi 6 router. I'll update this review as required while this model is still current and available to buyers.

5 Stars all around!

Huge Improvement in wireless speeds and over-all wifi signal strength and coverage!

Reviewed in the United States on 31 October 2022
Update 5/21/24:
We just dropped our ISP and went with a new Fiber Optic 1GB ISP just on our street. no matter if you have a cable modem or a Fiber Optical connection, they all terminate to a standard ethernet connection. Our old cat 5e/6 ethernet cable works fine with this and were are getting ~800mbps upload and 725 mbps download speeds on wifi. (wired ethernet will almost always be fastest, but, our speeds are excellent for our wifi setup with the AX3000). I swapped out the WAN cable from my old Motorola cable modem, plugged in the ethernet cable from our Fiber Optic box, rebooted the AX3000 and bingo, back in business. It was that easy. The tech doing the installation here said he wished others would choose the right Router for higher speed internet services and he said he knows about the TP-Link routers and that the AX3000 was a great choice for our new internet service.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After about 10 years with an apple airport extreme that was working well, but, was outdated and no longer supported with firmware updates by Apple nor have adequate range in our house for Wi-Fi, I decided to look on Amazon for a newer and higher speed Wi-Fi six router.

I tried a couple of other brands of wifi 6 routers, but, they just did not work out that well and lacked the desired GUI and setup screens I wanted. The TP Link AX 3000 router was my next choice to try and its GUI, setup and performance has been superb since set up.

We use Xfinity\Comcast Internet service and our plan has a maximum of 450 Mbps download/12 mbps upload and right after setup, this router is seeing about 150 Mbps more speed using wireless in the house then AirPort Extreme could do even standing next to it. The AX3000 gives us our plan speed!

I tried many varied settings for the airport extreme to see if I could get more speed out of Wi-Fi including trying different channels for 2.4 and 5 GHz, as well as a few changes for ipv4 and ipv6 settings and nothing I've tried could raise the numbers at all and at best, speeds were best about 250 mbps for Wi-Fi when within a room away from or even standing next to the router. The attached pic for a speed test for the AX3000 was done a room away from the AX3000 which is mounted high in a closet situated in the middle of the house (in a hallway) for best signal everywhere inside.

WiFi 6, Fast, Long reach, Easy setup, Single SSID for 2.4 and 5G
Reviewed in the United Arab Emirates on 23 August 2023
Verified Purchase
Setting up the router was easy:
start with admin password change/set new password
configure name for SSID and choose to leave both separate or combine to smart switch. I selected smart option
setup internet connection or skip. I choose to skip so I could copy info from my old router
logged in to my old router from another device & setup internet side by sides
Bandwidth, Speed, Coverage:
wow it had long range with good bandwidth. I curranty had one main router and an extender as the main router could not cover my full house. I just replaced both with this one single router.
even to the ends of my house I get 40-50MB bandwidth, which is like 2-3 walls behind.
Multiple Network for isolation and protection plus Mesh:
the router can be configured with network separation for more security.
each network has 2.4 or 5G option
Your home privet network can be combined with Smart option which broadcasts s single SSID but switched devices between 2.4 or 5G based on coverage or reach
There are 4 network options and all can be managed or kept separate
Home/privet network, IoT device network, guest network and LAN network (via cable)
you can easily setup one mesh by adding more LP-Link mesh devices to extend you network if required (support only TP-link devices)
Security option, Parental control and Tether app:
the router comes inbuilt with basic security that checks for your router configuration if week
or if you have a less secure configuration or password for your Wi-Fi
network isolation, where you can isolate IoT devices from your home network
it has paid upgrade to prevent intrusion, web filter and IOT device protection (monthly or yearly plan)
the router can be managed over the internet via the tether app, you need to link it to your account to use it.
parental control creates separate profiles per home user so you can add all their devices to their own profile & configure it separately.
allow or block access using Tether app made easy.

Over this router is a great option if you are looking for an upgrade with wifi 6 with inbuilt basic security options.
