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.
Ya because antennas have not been invented yet.
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.

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.

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?

Yeah, that concern I get. Might make a good access point for maybe the garage since winter is coming and that thing should be nice and cool.

They definitely do, most people don't understand why their brand new router after 6 months of being in an enclosed space never being turned off starts to work intermittently, its damage from overheating over time.

When I used to do oncall tech support for some SOHO/SMB locations the nightmares of me asking where their gear was and being pointed to a dust filled closet that I cant even fit in with no ventilation was their answer..... Yeah I dont miss those days! Not to mention all the equipment had a layer of dust all around them encapsulating the equipment generating even more heat.

As for metal body routers, nope not really a thing. Metal body is only primarily on higher end switches cause they use the body as a heat sink.

I take it you didn't take any Physics 1xx level courses.

Based on my experience, best single routers are made by Synology and Asus. If that's not enough you can extend your network with their mesh abilities adding more units.

Is this better than Netgear Nighthawk R7000? Debating whether I should replace my Netgear with this.

Literally looking for a great AP. I use pfsense, so don't need the router functionality... just a powerful AP, and the R7000 with ddwrt has had my eyes on it.

I run 3x old Neatgear hacked and then flashed with ddwrt as access points. One died. I like having three APs in my home for phenomenal coverage, so looking to finally move up to AC or better (not that it's necessary).

Nonsense, unless your house is totally empty inside with no walls and no wiring and it's located in the middle of nowhere. Real world device usage and interference will significantly limit the range even on a high end AX router.

2500 might be OK depending on the physical layout, preexisting interference, etc., but it's impossible to say without a lot more information. 10,000 in most situations, no.

I always make a DIY usb powered computer fan (I use an old case fan. super easy google it) and plug into an unused USB on the router for extra cooling. Works like a charm
