I'm pleased to report the Homecare options I mentioned in the video have been added to the web interface with the latest router web update. Dave.

Well explained

@BrandonPoeOregon 3 года назад

Nice video, definitely appreciate the call out regarding HomeCare configuration. I agree, its odd that you would have to leave a router's web interface to manage it... and mobile apps are definitely more likely to become unsupported/non-functional over time. Please update us if they add a web interface.

@Play3rYT 3 года назад

Thank you, sir. I answered your latest comment below, but yes. They have added Homecare in the web interface with the latest update. Dave.

Band Steering & Router Steering does the TP Link Ax50 model it have this option ❓️ Which means it will automatically swith to the 2.4ghz band when we go far from router & switch back to 5ghz faster band once I'm closer to it

@maartenk7513 3 года назад

Thanks for the review. Just bought this one for 119 euro's as an upgrade over my current router. I have wifi 6 on my new gaming brick so I am curious how that will work. It is a bargain. It also buys me some time to see if I really want a mesh thingy with fancy antennas offering full AX client connectivity as well as SpaceX messaging services and other futuristic features.

@Play3rYT 3 года назад

Hope you enjoy it! Dave.

@quackripe7496 3 года назад

Also will this being hot affect the longevity of this router?

@paulsaunders6536 3 года назад

Nothing particularly wrong with this router but the Wifi speed I got when compared to my BT Smart hub 2, a 900 Mbps fibre connection, from the router to my PC was poor. I was getting a steady 230 Mbps at around 20 ft from the AX50 router ( the PC was also WiFi 6 enabled). The BT Smart hub is giving me 420 Mbps with a Wi-fi 5 protocol.

@jackshittle Год назад

My question (as I have one of these); what speeds do you get through any of the LAN ports and what speeds do you get wirelessly on 5 Ghz? Here is my issue that is irritating me; I have gigabit service coming into my house which then goes into my Arris S33 2.5 gigabit modem (which when I connect my laptop to it via ethernet I get only 500-660 Mbps down, which is a problem right there Why am I not getting 900+ Mbps?). Now once I had my Archer AX50 to the mix and I connect via ethernet to a LAN port my speed goes down to about 200 Mbps. Now when I use wireless on 5 Ghz while standing right next to the AX50 I get 150-240 Mbps. If I have gigabit service with a 2.5 gigabit modem & gigabit router I should be getting at least 500 Mbps down on 5 Ghz while I'm standing next to the router. And why the drop from 660 Mbps from the modem to my laptop, then dropping to 200 Mbps via a LAN port on router, then down to 150 -240 Mbps down while on wireless? Somethings wrong if I'm getting 150 Mbps on wireless when I have the gigabit service with the appropriate modem & wifi router. Any ideas? Thanks & cheers!

@robton007 3 года назад

Hi...enjoyed the video,can you set up how fast data flows to certain devices? Also would this have any problems using a network switch?(I have a network switch upstairs that splits to two Xbox's) I am thinking of getting this as I think it's way better than virgin media's WiFi capabilities

@Play3rYT 2 года назад

No. QOS features are there which allow you to choose the type of traffic that gets prioritised but not to single devices (yet). I doubt that adding a switch would be an issue either. In all my testing ALL routers are attached to a 2.5GB switch I use to link my Fileserver and daily PC together.

@QUINTINVS 3 года назад

Quick question it has wifi 6 support right?... But will older devices still be able connect to the 2.4GHz and 5GHz. My Samsung Note 10 Lite does not support wifi 6 only the 2.4GHz and 5GHz (Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, dual-band). And my laptop still only 2.4GHz

@Play3rYT 3 года назад

Hi Quintin, Yes, 'B', 'G' & 'N' WiFi modes are also supported. So you'll be covered here with the AX50. Cheers, Dave.

@lukealdridge8263 2 года назад

Do I need to change my mhz to 160 to get full potential .. will that improve download and upload speed to buy and how much for this router ??

@Play3rYT 2 года назад

Almost all devices won't work or don't have the ability to work at 160MHz. Plus manually setting that may leave some other Wi-Fi devices unable to find the router at all. I'd recommend leaving it set to normal. Download and upload speed on Wi-Fi could be improved, but usually this isn't the case. You're best off making the changes and seeing what works best for you. Dave.

@Kamakzie1976 3 года назад

Can you log into this router if your Internet is down? I usually connect to my router with an ethernet cable to my desktop PC will this work with this router? Thank you!

@Play3rYT 3 года назад

Yes you can. Using the standard IP address like normal. Cheers, Dave.

@baybora1972 3 года назад

I bought one and returned it. The device was overheating, especially the underside. (About 50'C). With wireless 5GHz, file copy speed was dropping from 60 Mb / s to 10 MB / s during the day. Is the device heating up causing this? What is your opinion about this excessive heat and the reduction in copy speed?

@Play3rYT 3 года назад

Yeah, it does get noticeably warm as I mentioned in the review. Heat buildup will eventually cause performance degradation if it gets too hot, and that sounds possible in your case. Where are you storing the router, is it well ventilated?

@baybora1972 3 года назад

@@Play3rYT Yes it was. I think it is not stable. I will buy an asus RT-AX82U

@TheGregWallace 3 года назад

Question....I have 2 of these and want to you use the second one as an access point that will be connected with a cat 5e cable. Do you make the second router under operation mode the access point router and what other things do i need to change on the router?

@Play3rYT 3 года назад

Hi Greg, The AX50 can be set to run in access point mode. So that should be fine. Have the one that runs as an access point connect to the first one. Not the modem. Here is some more info: www.tp-link.com/us/user-guides/archer-ax50_v1/chapter-4-set-up-internet-connection#ug-sub-title-4 Dave.

Is TP-Link Archer AX50 Wi-Fi 6 Router is compatible with TP-Link R605?

@undisputedtruth2075 3 года назад

Hi Matt. I have just purchased this router. Im on vodafone been using there mk1 router for ages. needed an upgrade. problem is swapped it out for the tp link but i wont connect to the internet. I get a wifi signal which i can connect to but no internet access. Vodafone have given me a username and password which they said i need to input into any third party router. Where do i go to input these details in? cant find it any where in the app?

@Play3rYT 3 года назад

If you have this exact model then you are also going to need a 4G router. The AX50 router is designed to be used with an additional V/ADSL+, cable modem or 4G modem which provides the internet connection. So you could use your Vodafone box, and DMZ into this AX50. As this is what I'm currently doing, I'm also on a 4G Vodafone connection, but I use a Huawei 4G modem. Hope this helps, Dave.

@undisputedtruth2075 3 года назад

@@Play3rYT Thanks mate. Im using the old voda router as the modem. working now. Using this method does it negate in anyway the performance of the new AX50?

@Play3rYT 3 года назад

No problem. From my testing, it worked beautifully. Considering 4G's generally higher ping and how "unstable" it can be, compared to fibre/cable internet, it worked wonderfully for me before it went to its new home with a play3r staff member.

Router bueno lastima que tp link perdió su esencia de router en el software ya que no es administrador de redes solo funciona como un puente del modem del proveedor con capacidad de más equipos y antes que me digan que no es un puente confirmen donde permite administrar el ancho de banda para cada equipo y que esta se pueda establecer el valor de la velocidad requerido. donde permite crear reglas de salida de Internet con horarios por equipo o rango de equipos, estas funciones si están presentes en las anteriores versiones de tplink de su software más antiguo como ac1750 v2 , ac750 las nuevas versiones ya no permiten esto en lugar de adicionar mejoras quitan servicios y funcionalidades de un router en conclusión para que funciona un router si no es para administrar su propia Red, esa es la esencia de comprar un router de lo contrario se queda con el router del proveedor de Internet mejor cambiar a router asus ax
