Since most of you aren't WiFi enthusiasts, let me break this down even further to the most important specs:
WiFi Speeds
6 GHz: 2402 Mbps (802.11ax) - This is 2x2 and that makes it a RED FLAG
5 GHz: 4802 Mbps (802.11ax) - This is 4x4
2.4 GHz: 574 Mbps (802.11ax) - This is 2x2 and seems no one really cares about this in performance testing
Ethernet Ports
1× 2.5 Gbps WAN/LAN Port
1× 1 Gbps WAN/LAN Port
3× 1 Gbps LAN Ports
No 802.3ad support - This means you cannot bond LAN ports
Processor
1.7 GHz Quad-Core CPU
RAM - Unknown - They hide this info
Flash - Unknown - They hide this info
I would not touch this router at $200 or even $100 if you are primarily want to use the 6 GHz band. If you don't care about 6 GHz band then you're okay.
Tplink require subscription to use routers full feature which is disgusting
Needs at least 4 more antennas before I buy.
Iirc it was some advanced security (router level anti-virus) and parental limits stuff, they gave free trials in the beginning and required a subscription to continue using them, and some people were bothered by that.

I've been using this router for like a year and have been happy with it. It has been fast and reliable. I don't really need the settings people complain are behind a paywall.
had the non-pro version of this and ultimately had to get rid of it because the Deco line does not let you manually choose your wifi channel or channel width. If you live in an extremely congested area, this may cause problems. I kept getting random disconnects with some devices. Their "auto optimization" to auto select channels for you is pretty trash
If TP Link would allow manual selection, it would've solved my issues and would've been perfect.
Can anyone comment on the performance of this router as far as square footage and speeds?
Also, what about longevity? I've heard in reviews on other TP Link routers that the processor or ram in their routers eventually starts under performing after a year or two. Is that the case with this model?
Costco has had this same router on sale for $199.99 multiple times over the past year so will probably be that again or lower sometime soon. Better to buy it there than Best Buy due to return policy. That way you can get an extended trial without worrying about a 30-60 day return period.
Something like the GL.iNet GL-MT6000(Flint 2) is a far better value at ~$140, imo. It has 2x 2.5gb ports + 4x1gb. It has open source OpenWRT natively which is constantly under development and has far more features. The 2 x 2.5gb allows it to be connected to a 2.5gb switch so you can connect all computers at these speeds if you have a 2gb internet connection.

That is wifi 6, not 6e. Also dual band instead of tri band.

Agreed. How else do we confirm it's triband otherwise?

What features are locked behind the pay wall?
