I've been using this router at my home for over a year. We push it hard I work from home, have two sons who game a lot, and I host a plex server/Nas for family. Have 2gbps fiber to the house, have cat6 to each bedroom and one to the server. Each bedroom has a switch and cable to the gaming PCs, my boys have pulled 2gig in speed tests no problem. For work I'm on wifi and our phones and other devices are all wifi covers 1700 sqft main floor ranch no problem don't really use it in the basement but when I have no issues there either. Its been super stable too, can't remember any restarts for problems.

Community Reviews

This Wi Fi 7 router is being used as a fast, stable home network hub for gigabit fiber, gaming, and Plex or NAS setups. Real world results include 2 gigabit wired tests, about 1.2 to 1.58 gigabits on Wi Fi 7 phones, and strong coverage across large homes with no mesh. It also supports TP Link EasyMesh satellites, and wired devices can connect to a satellite whether it is wireless or hardwired. Caveats include speed depending heavily on client and distance, plus reports of periodic disconnects in some CGNAT setups and occasional routing restarts. A strong fit when you want high throughput and broad coverage, with compatibility worth checking first.

Common Questions (4)

  • Real-world Wi‑Fi 7 speeds can reach about 1.2 Gbps on an iPhone and about 1.58 Gbps down on a Galaxy S26 Ultra at 6 feet with MLO. Wired backhaul can still deliver 2 Gbps service, but speeds drop with distance and obstacles.

    WebEngTepheaPeteyTheStriker

  • It can be very stable for long-term use, with one setup running over a year without remembered restarts. It can also have compatibility-related disconnects every 30-45 minutes on some ISP/CGNAT setups, and another user needed to restart it about twice a month because it stopped routing.

    WebEngjaeun87ojfan

  • It can cover large homes well, including about 1,700 sq ft on one floor and a 4,300 sq ft three-story home with no mesh networking. Far rooms can still see roughly 500/250 Mbps, though speeds fall off as distance increases.

    WebEngTephea

  • It can be used as a wireless EasyMesh satellite, and wired devices can still be connected to the satellite's Ethernet ports whether the satellite is wirelessly linked or hardwired. The earlier concern that the ports would not work for wired clients was corrected.

What are the fastest wireless speeds you have seen with this router?

That's super dependant on the device and protocol you can connect at. I get 650mbps on my MacBook from my desk consistently from one room away. I don't remember if I've seen higher on my phone or not.

As he mentioned depends on the items but the realistic maxes a proper Wifi 7 client up to 1300-1400Mbps, Wifi 6 around 1000Mbps, and Wifi 5 almost 800Mbps. These would be at point blank testing, real life numbers that reviewers have seen. They will vary off course depending on proper client and distance from the router as well as obstacles to the router.

I was hoping to buy two of these and use the second one to serve wired clients as a media bridge of sorts, after some digging it looks like you can use it for a wireless "easymesh" satellite but the wired ports on the satellites cannot be used for wired devices. Just thought I'd share the info.

It's a fast router, but had really bad disconnection issues when paired with my building's IPS that uses CGNAT. It would disconnect every 30-45 mins for about 30 seconds to a 1 minute, unusable for online gaming. They escalated to their engineers and nobody could figure it out, so I returned it. I went back to my older slower TP-Link AX60 1Gbps router and my internet never disconnected again.

YMMV since it was some kind of compatibility issue.

I was just trying to get a feel for if Wi-Fi 7 is any better than Wi-Fi 6E. I've had several Wi-Fi 6e routers that were very disappointing. Currently I'm using a GLI net Flint 2 which is only dual band Wi-Fi6 and I routinely get 900 to 1200 megabits a second just about everywhere in my home 2500ft. Even with Wi-Fi 5 and 6 clients.

I had just ordered two routers and a card all which qualify. Wish Amazon would honor the additional cash back. Instead it forces me to return the original and reordered

I grabbed this for my Wi-Fi 7 tablet for local gaming streaming for my gaming rig, but then realized on eBay I could get a 'Asus rog rapture gt-ax 11000 pro' if you're looking for a single octopus to have in the center of your house for serious gaming or whatnot I would go with an Asus 11000 variant on eBay. You end up having an extremely stronger ability to penetrate walls and dense surfaces, old house stuff etc...

Hardwired my connection is 2000/300Mbps. On a WiFi 7 device (s26 Ultra) sitting on my couch 6ft away, I hit 1580/295Mbps using the MLO network. 4300 sq ft/3 story home and no other mesh networking present with no connectivity issues. Speeds obviously drop dramatically with distance. Still pushes 500/250 from the furthest rooms in the house.

This is incorrect. You can wire devices to the satellite whether it is wirelessly connected as an AP or hardwired.
