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.

TP Link AX3000 @ walmart Nov 14th I think $100
Netgear AX5200 @ Besbuy for $150
I have lost confidence in Asus lately. Just returned AX92 after the WIFI 6 did not even work on both the routers.
Speed is the most notable factor. Speed test results went from 76 Mbps to 103 Mbps with the only difference being the AX router.
I am updating from a 6 or 7 year old ASUS N66U N900 router so your results might not be as significant.
I used the TP-LINK AX1800 (which is a step down from the TP-LINK AX3000, #1 rated router by NY times) and I am getting the full 230 mbps that I have contracted for with Spectrum. (Actually, I contracted for 200 mbps, but the cable company actually supplies 230 mbps and my router captures literally the full 230 mbps.
Maybe there is a reason that NY Times rated the TP-LINK AX3000 as #1?
To ascertain if you need to upgrade:
a) What is the speed when your router is connected to a PC a) with a cable and b) over wifi. You can check the speed in 15 seconds by going to fast.com on your web browser.
g) Check the speed over wifi by going to fast.com (either on your laptop or phone) at different points of your house.
Report back with the results. Thanks.
Thanks buddy.
Here is what I got:
Cable: 350 to 450 mps.
2.4 GHz: 5 mps at far end of house, 60 mps near the router.
5 GHz: 30 mps at far end(but not stable, sometimes drop), 200 mps near router.
I decided I didn't want another Netgear as their warranty is only 90 days and we would've been out of the money if it wasn't for Sam's Club.
I got a TP-Link Archer AX20 and it's been much better even though it's lower spec'd than the r7850 Nighthawk.

How many devices are connected to wifi in your house?

Usually we have less than 15 devices connected.
So for my case would you recommend the TP-link ax3000 in this thread, or the ASUS RT-AX55 AX1800 from newegg ? I have ordered the asus but that one doesn't have a lot reviews, not sure if I should switch to the tp-link ax3000 in this thread.
Thanks!
