There is a difference between the TP-Link Archer AX3000 and the TP-Link Archer AX3000 (ax50) !
Here is a link to TP-Link to show the difference. https://www.tp-link.com/us/compar...10%2C41125
The ax 50 has usb 3 and the regular has usb 2.
Also I think the ax50 has extra features and perks.
The model in this thread is the plain AX3000 model.
This is just info, you can research for yourself and help others give insight into the differences. Also, lets weight the pro's and con's of waiting until XMAS season with super sales and longer return policies. We are a little more than 6 weeks away from BF/CM/Xmas season.
Great price, good entry to medium level router. Only downside is these are known to overheat cause of the plastic casing they use, so be very careful with it.

True, I had to put a laptop cooler under mine.
Edit I have the AX50

In most cases probably not, but you would be getting slightly faster speeds since this is a more powerful router. The use what I believe is a identical FEM antenna setup. Can always try it and see what happens.

My internet plan wouldn't take advantage of any faster speeds, but I need something that has better coverage further across the house. I'll stick with the AX21 since it supports OneMesh and WPA3. Thanks!

I own one of these, it was great, but as mentioned by others, it started to overheat and became a bit unreliable. It's in storage now as I got tired of it requiring a nightly reboot. When it works the range is great, but the design of it made it unreliable.

Honestly your just better off taking a exacto knife and just cutting off the top of the plastic in parts of it. That way it would get proper ventilation which is why the new design has air slits all along the top.
I am using this router. Range is ridiculously good. I was away from house by a football field and still got signal.
It does get warm, but never impacted performance. I place it at a well vented area

Yeah, with pets and a kid in the house I'm a bit picky about exposed electronics. Not to mention, my handy work may turn it into more of an eyesore than anything.

I had no idea router overheat is a thing, is there even a reasonably priced router that is metal body?
