As someone who just did a lot of research on this, TP-Link just tends to drop support for routers quickly. That's why I was just in the market for one… TP-Link stopped issuing any firmware updates for my router. It's not good to have a router that isn't receiving updates. ASUS is known to support theirs longer and there's actually a robust third party firmware scene as well.

This instantly fixed similar problems I had. Hope it helps others.

I did research on routers in the Spring as I was buying and looked at this one. This has the routing performance of a sub $100 wifi 6 router, just with triband 6E included. It also lacks merlin support. Its wifi performance is no better than average. It's a good router, I would take it for $80-$100, but for $180, it seems like you could do better value-wise.

Someone mentioned the ubuiqiti dream router - it has a noisy fan that runs 24/7.

RT-AX3000 V2 is a better value if you need a cheap good asus router with merlin support. If you want a better wifi 6 option - rt ax86u pro and 88u pro are much better regarded than this and have merlin. Or you could look into wifi 7 options from netgear and asus. Although the hardware is good, TP link has security issues with its firmware.

My 8 year old wifi v5 router still humming along, no complaints about speed or usability.... I try to reboot it (and the ISP router) every 6 months whether it needs it or not, LOL
Cool story bro

Been having some serious issues with my GT-AX11000 + 2x RT-AX92U mesh setup. Requires frequent reboots and doesnt play nice with my TP-Link Tapo cameras. Going to try these or maybe the DECO BE11000 from Costco and see if that addresses my issues.

Does sinology not make good routers anymore? It seems like ubiquity took their place somewhat, though I remember reading the dream router isn't that great. I was also considering using one of my n100 mini pc's with a ubiquity ap.

I've owned several tplinks over the years and they've always been rock solid. I've come to the realization that the tplink fear mongering is because America can't compete with their products at those prices. All the stuff about tplink backdoors has been complete smoke. I urge everyone to read up on it, and look for any evidence you can, because you won't find anything that isn't worse than what other brands haven't suffered from

Love my Asus mesh with moca backhaul. Lack of Merlin is a deal breaker for me, at least for the primary router.

Looking forward to sub $300 wifi7 Asus with Merlin. One can dream!
