I got an AX6000 router 2 weeks ago and I'm very disappointed !
Hello there,
So around two weeks ago I decided to upgrade my Archer C80 AC1900, which I used for more than 2 years and to be honest it was a very decent router, so after checking TP-Link website and doing some comparisons I ended up buying an AX6000.
Now after two weeks with the AX6000 I'm seriously very disappointed!
First, the AX6000 WiFi coverage is not as expected from such a router (I mean its high-end and expensive router and it has many antennas lol)
Second, the 2.4GHz doesn’t support ac only b/g/n/ax, so for my older and IoT devices I’m stuck with 802.11n BUT what is worse is that in the next room from the router (one wall only) the maximum linkspeed I could get on the 802.11n is 5Mbps (uplink and downlink). I never ever had this problem with Archer C80, Actually I turned on my Archer C80 and connected to 802.11n and got a 72Mbps linkspeed therefore I believe this could be a bug in the firmware.
Third, which is the most annoying, the firmware is seriously buggy! like many weird behaviors are happening and here I’m talking about new devices that are connected over 802.11ax! for example sometimes I get disconnected from the WiFi and when I try to reconnect, I get "authentication failed " or "incorrect password".
forth, which is totally my mistake, I have read similar posts here about the AX6000, but I thought they are only like to complain because this router looks and sounds awesome!!
notes
1. I have a 1 Gbps fiber internet
2. I have the latest firmware
3. I'm a geeky nerd lol, I tried all the possible solutions.
4. It’s not easy to return the router and get a refund, I bought it from eBay!
