For those who like to buy on Amazon, they're offering 15% back on this if bought on an Amazon Visa card through 9/30. Brings it to about $211.65.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CJSNSVMR

UPDATE: As flagged below, the Amazon version is the variant with all 2.5gb ports while the Walmart version has three gigabit ports. According to this review, the variants are otherwise identical, but Amazon one probably a better value (if you qualify for 15% off) if you want/need all 2.5gb ports: https://dongknows.com/tp-link-arc...er-review/

Could be a good router for many use cases. I'm still holding out for mediatek wifi7 based devices to better guarantee openwrt support in the future.

Banana rpi4 and wifi7 modules are finally available but official firmwares are not yet released... but this could mean netgear/asus and other oems will have mediatek based devices releasing in the near future.

This is a good deal but we've seen the 200 price point before. You'll also likely not see 3rd party firmwares for this device.

Reviews on Amazon are rather rough. Most sharing the same issues of poor range and disconnect issues.
I'd love to upgrade just for the 2.5ghz lan ports so my NAS can run a bit faster, but gonna have to pass on this one. Also I don't like the idea of them putting some features behind subscription paywalls.

Not the same router but definitely better purchase via amazon with 15% off. Amazon one has all port 2.5G.

The Amazon version of this defrinately has better specs with all 2.5GB ports.

Overall, these types of routers with all the antennas inside a box never seem to perform as well as the ones with the external antennas. Also, it seems like the designers sacrifice form over function by making these types of routers too compact and with not enough ventilation just to make them look more futuristic. The result is throttled performance that does not match the specs.

Can confirm, I had this router for 24 hours and returned it because of how absolutely garbage the range was. Connection would constantly drop in parts of the house that had 2 out of 3 bars with every other router we've ever used, and even when it wasn't disconnecting speeds would drop significantly if you so much as faced away from the router. Avoid at all costs.

I tried it and returned it due to the poor 2.4 ghz range. It is a good router but the internal antennas are a huge downside. This is faster than 1 gigabit Ethernet within 20 feet line of sight, and that's just wifi 6. So you may want to get the version with 2.5gb ports

To Whom it may concern,

I have this router and had experienced dropped signals/invisible 6ghz network issues and went through TP-Link support to try and fix the issues. Had all sorts or things we tried, including multiple beta firmwares. The solution (interestingly) was to enable MLO. Completely fixed the random signal degradation/invisible network issue. Sadly it took them sending me another router to figure out it wasn't hardware. I think TP-Link still has some bugs to work out of their Wifi-7 line of routers.

They also don't support their firmware on routers for very long. I haven't had one in years, and absolutely would never buy anything again from them. My router at the time only got 2 firmware updates!! I wouldn't trust them, even more so because they are in bed with the Chinese government.

Been waiting for a Wifi 7 deal under 200, but not jumping on tp link for home.

Have had an AX1100 for over 2 years at a mental and it's worked great, rock stable, & great sppeds.

I have the Amazon version, it's been fine. My only gripe is the subscription service for the family oriented administration. I would have passed on that alone.
