Reduce Device Energy Consumption
While Wi-Fi 6 clients are beginning to enter the market in significant numbers, the newer AX technology - Target Wake Time - helps your devices communicate more while consuming less power. Mobile devices and IoT devices that support TWT negotiate when and how often they will wake up to send or receive data, increasing sleep time and effectively extending battery life.

Excellent software that includes parental controls, traffic control, etc., but also many options and can be controlled from anywhere with the mobile application. The software is much better than I expected and there is a huge user community for everything it includes. On the downside, for some inexplicable reason, some devices require a restart to connect, the range is not better than the cheap routers provided for free by telecommunications companies, and it doesn't seem to have improved internet connection speed.
A very good device to boost your home network. It was installed on a TP-LINK 100v Modem and it really is day and night. No more disconnections of wireless devices and overall provider disconnections. Significant upgrade in connection speed. From a 20-24 VDSL, it locked at 28+ (I don't know if it was random, but I am monitoring the locked speed). It is definitely worth the money. Simply connect one ethernet port of the modem to the WAN port of the router and connect all your devices to it, both wireless and wired. And it has a USB3 port. Relatively easy menu with many settings.
And something I noticed yesterday (6/7/2021), from 2.0-2.3 download speed, now I am at 3.0-3.2!
Whatever I say is little, very easy to install with a very nice menu that you can make changes either from your mobile or from your computer. Excellent signal throughout the house!
It really saved me. With the provider's old router, even though I have 200mbps, I was only getting a maximum of 30.
I delayed buying a new router for a long time because I had to use both the provider's old one and the new one together, and I thought it would be a hassle (settings, resetting in case of a possible reboot, etc.).
The truth is that it requires minimal to no settings. I have managed to get over 150mbps in all rooms.
Plus, it supports 5Ghz (the signal is not blinded by neighboring wifi) and even in 2.4Ghz, there is minimal decrease (~145mbps).
Note that a good card is needed on the PC (I got TP-LINK Archer T4U Plus).
I recommend it to everyone who has a large space and the typical router provided by the ISP is useless.
The best purchase for this year.
We have and we say. My experience with the products of this specific company was only positive and the idea of a cheap WiFi 6 router seemed attractive to me from the beginning. Having worked with it for a few months with mobile phones and laptops compatible with this technology, I can say that the advantages are not purely from the beginning. Firstly, I don't think I need to say that the installation was very simple since the router immediately received PPPoE codes from Speedport Plus and started with 96mbps out of the 98 attainable that the modem showed. Now, regarding WiFi 6, I didn't find any differences in speedtests using the same laptop once with Intel AC9560 and another time with AX200, but the excellent management of simultaneous users shined when I was using multiple devices at the same time. I don't know if it's due to the processor or OFDMA, but I didn't experience any hesitation with multiple local file transfers and 4k YouTube videos. The options in the 5Ghz band allow you to choose high channels, which, especially when you are in densely populated neighborhoods, can greatly increase stability and range by selecting the right channel. Beamforming also helps a lot with range, which, although at first it sounded like simple marketing mythology, it is indeed adaptive. Going from the living room to the bedroom balcony on the other side of the house with my mobile phone, initially I get -85dBm and after a couple of minutes it goes up to -67dBm. Truly useful in larger or more complexly built houses. The SMB server with a 1TB hard drive worked flawlessly and comfortably even with a loaded network, and the option of remote access makes it even more useful. My only complaint is the strange loss of WPA3 encryption, which is available even in lower models of the series (see AX20). I feel that a router that aims for futureproofing is a bit incomplete without the latest encryption protocols that have already made their appearance in cheaper options. Seeing that the latest software update for this one was released in August 2020 at the time of writing this review, and with TP-Link's history of listening to its customers, I have reason to believe that a new software is already in the plans. In conclusion, I will add that for anything related to the stability of its operation, I will update here as this one is now functioning in my home on a daily basis.
Update 17/4/2021:
This one has been given to a friend's house. I have gotten the AX6000 for which I have written my first impressions, but this won't change the fact that if anything happens, I will update here. However, so far, even in the house where it is currently located, it works flawlessly.
Δεν έχω παρατηρήσει καμία διαφορά, κυρίως bug fixes λέει ότι έχει. Το πιο πιθανό είναι ότι το μοντέλο το έχουν παρατήσει και απλά για κάνα χρόνο ακόμα θα φτιάχνουν CVE's όταν θυμούνται.
Ίσως χαζή ερώτηση αλλά σε γραμμή Cosmote με FTTH 100αρα και modem/router το καινούριο της ZTE που δίνουν επιλέγουμε PPPoE ή Dynamic για τη σύνδεση στο ίντερνετ; Επίσης τα PPPoE credentials που αναγράφονται;
Αν θες να το χρησιμοποιήσεις εξ' ολοκλήρου σαν ρούτερ τότε επιλέγεις PPPoE. Αν θες να το έχεις μόνο για το WiFi του τότε το γυρίζεις σε access point mode και παίρνει dynamic. Σημαντικό να σημειώσω είναι ότι για να το χρησιμοποιήσεις σαν ρούτερ υπάρχουν δύο τρόποι: Ο "σωστός" και ο "ανεύθυνος". Ο "σωστός" είναι να βγάλεις το ZTE τελείως και πάνω στο ONT να συνδέσεις κατευθείαν το TP-Link. Το καλό με αυτή την υλοποίηση είναι ότι έχεις λιγότερα καλώδια, λιγότερη πολυπλοκότητα, λιγότερα μηχανήματα να σου καίνε το ρεύμα και χρησιμοποιείς μόνο μία διεύθυνση IP. Από την άλλη όμως δεν θα έχεις σταθερό τηλέφωνο. Γι' αυτόν τον λόγο ο τρόπος που επιλέγουν οι περισσότεροι είναι απλά να κρατήσουν και το ZTE και το TP-Link και απλά να βάλουν τα PPPoE στοιχεία στο TP-Link. Με αυτό τον τρόπο έχεις και τηλέφωνο αλλά χρησιμοποιείς δύο διευθύνσεις IP σε μια εποχή που αυτές είναι σε έλλειψη αλλά και μπλέκεις με περισσότερα καλώδια και μηχανήματα. Σε κάθε περίπτωση τα PPPoE στοιχεία τα παίρνεις από την σελίδα του My Cosmote επιλέγοντας την σύνδεση της σταθερής & ίντερνετ και πηγαίνοντας στο κάτω μέρος της σελίδας εκεί που λέει "Στοιχεία internet σύνδεσης", στο όνομα χρήστη προσθέτεις ένα "@otenet.gr" στο τέλος και για τον κωδικό πατάς "Υπενθύμιση Κωδικού Πρόσβασης" και ακολουθείς τα βήματα.
Αυτό δεν εξαρτάται μόνο από το ρούτερ αλλά από πολλά άλλα πράγματα. Μερικά παραδείγματα: Ο πάροχός σου και η διασύνδεσή του, ο τόπος διαμονής σου και πόσο μακριά είναι από το κέντρο της Αθήνας, αν έχεις DSL τι προφίλ χρησιμοποιείς (fastpath ή interleaved), αν είσαι με καλώδιο ή ασύρματα, αν τρέχουν και άλλες συσκευές στο δίκτυο ενώ παίζεις και τι ρυθμίσεις QoS κάνεις για να μειώσεις το bufferbloat σε αυτή την περίπτωση. Μπορείς να ψάξεις και να ενημερωθείς για όλες αυτές τις έννοιες οι οποίες είναι πολύ πιο σημαντικές από ένα ρούτερ 80€ το οποίο όπως και να έχει δεν παρέχει σημαντικές QoS ρυθμίσεις για gamers. Αυτά δεν τα λέω για να ακουστώ εξυπνάκιας, απλά νιώθω ότι είναι αχρείαστο να ξοδέψεις άσκοπα τα λεφτά σου. Για την ιστορία εγώ πιάνω 40-45 ping.
Υποστηρίζει VPN client; Θέλω να μπορεί να συνδεθεί το ίδιο το router στο VPN (με credentials) και έπειτα κάθε συσκευή που συνδέεται στο router να συνδέεται και αυτή στο VPN, δίχως να απαιτείται εγκατάσταση ενός VPN client στις επιμέρους συσκευές.
