TP-Link Archer AX50
The best Wi-Fi router
In our tests the TP-Link Archer AX50 created a speedy, responsive network even from across a medium house. You have to spend a lot more on a router—or a mesh kit if you have a very large home—to get anything even a little better. It's our first WI-Fi 6 (802.11ax) router pick.
The TP-Link Archer AX50 is reasonably priced, yet it can handle a growing selection of laptops and smart devices while surpassing the performance of routers that cost twice as much. It's generally speedy and able to reach long range, it has little lag even when the network is busy, and it's a great choice if you have a high-performance internet service plan. It's compatible with Wi-Fi 6, the latest wireless standard, and it comes with built-in security in the form of a lifetime subscription to updates.
TP-Link Archer AX20
If our main pick is unavailable
The Archer AX20 offers fewer features than our pick for a slightly lower price, but in most cases it can keep up in throughput, responsiveness, and ease of setup.
If our pick is out of stock or its price is more than $30 higher, you should consider the TP-Link Archer AX20 instead. The AX20 looks like the AX50 and offers a strong, responsive network that's nearly as good, especially if your house isn't larger than our 2,300-square-foot-test home. But it's not quite as fast at longer ranges, and TP-Link sacrifices a few advanced features and settings in its administration interface to meet the lower price

2. CAT7, a CAT 6 or CAT5e cable is needed for gigabit Ethernet. Most cables made for the last 10 years are already 5e, so just saying that cables are usually never a bottleneck.

As was mentioned by me and a few others, that DONGKNOWS review is poorly done. It is not an apples to apples comparison, he used a router with a brand new firmware comparing to an identical router with firmware over 6 months old which had major problems just like any other router around that time. It takes time to work out the bugs and TP-Link, Netgear, Asus to name a few all put out routers with bugged performance with their first set of Wifi 6 routers. So yeah..... Important to make apples to apples instead of reading something without understanding the testing. If he did it the correct way he would have had both side by side on the same firmware.The routers are identical outside USB 3.0 port and Homecare included on one, so you will get identical performance results with the same firmware.

If you plug into the current modem and you dont get close to your speeds, than you can go the easy route and try a new modem and see what happens as the service provider suggested, and if that works great, if you still get slow speeds you would need a service tech to come out. Unless your really tech savy you dont want to be unscrewing and unplugging things and cause yourself a bigger head ache, like not having phone service and or internet.
- Downgraded the hardware.
- Hard reset the device and downgraded and vice versa.
But nothing seems to help? Any idea on how to revive the device?Also do your research and see if you might want the benefits of the AX30/AX5000 router since its only $30 more. I mentioned the benefits in a previous post above.

It's the clients who choose where and what to connect to.
And it's 2.4 and 5 GHz.
"The Archer AX50 is the international and better variant of the slightly stripped-down Archer AX3000 TP-Link made exclusively for Walmart in the U.S late last year. Since the two are so similar, I had a pleasant surprise finding out how much better the AX50 is, via testing.May 4, 2020

I dont use Alexa, but its probably simple commands as pause internet to stop internet temporarily and probably reboot to have the router restart itself. They are nothing to in depth and life changing from what I seen on previous routers with google/alexa intergration.

So, I guess you are recommending that one should pay $10 more and get it from Amazon?

Yes I saw that last night, but even TP-Link does not differentiate them completely.
Direct from their website it lists the AX50/AX3000
https://www.tp-link.com/us/home-n...cher-ax50/
On paper they are identical hardware except for one thing that I could find USB port on AX3000 is 2.0 listed and on the AX50 its listed as USB 3.0. Software the AX50 comes with homecare.
As for Dongs finding he does not mention if he updated his AX3000 to the latest firmware and did a direct comparison it sounds like hes running off old numbers from his previous review. Which if you notice is over 6 months of a difference which means plenty of time for newer firmware to fix the issue with 160 channel which a lot of router manufactures were having problems with at launch. So I would expect if he directly tested both again on latest firmware he would get similar results in terms of speeds and quality cause they are identical hardware.
Also do your research and see if you might want the benefits of the AX30/AX5000 router since its only $30 more. I mentioned the benefits in a previous post above.
Both of the routers in question have and use 2.4ghz and 5ghz frequency's at the same time. When you set them up you have a choice to make you can have each frequency have its own name and you can choose which device you want to connect to which frequency or you can turn on a feature called "smart connect" smart connect will merge the two frequencies into 1 and it will decide for your device which one to put it on and it will also move it between the two if it decides it will work better on the other frequencies' at any given time. So if it starts seeing problems on one frequency cause of interference or something else causing problems it can switch the device over at will to avoid the problem. Some people like to use smart connect some people dont, its a user perference, some devices have problems with smart connect, but for the most part is works pretty well.
