HELLO
I have bought a TPLINK AX6000 Archer to replace my Netgear Nighthawk X4 router.
In times of Covid-19 i neded a router with more power.
Unfortunately, the performance of your router is a lot worse, and super unstable.
From the start: I'm not an IT guy, and my knowledge of routers is limited and i cant find proper custumer suport.
A: SETUP
1. ISP Router Siligence TCG300 WiFi Gateway:
- Wifi is set off - Internet Speed: Down: 200Mbit/s Up: 20Mbit/s. Next week i wil get a Boost Pack up to Down: 400Mbit/s Up: 50Mbit/s.
2. Linux laptop connected to my ISP router directly for internernet connection testing: TEST OK Full speed no drops 24Hr 7d Test.
3. UTP Cable Cat 7 to my second Wifi Router: TPLINK AX6000 Archer. standard setup operation mode: ACCESPOINT. @ the moment.
4. 2 UTP Cablels Cat 7 from my Archer to my 2 desktop PC's.
5. 2.4Ghz Dynamic band connected: Smartphones - Google Home.
6. 2.4Ghz Static IP Cams from MI.
7. 5.0Ghz Dynamic band: XBOX One and 2 TV's for streaming.
B: Problems
1. Intermittent internet dropouts.
All my devices stays connected to my Archer, but no connection to the internet and its not allways at the same time, this happens like 20 time every day.
The only solution is to restart the router. And the MI gatway Hub for my security cams need to be installed aigan after the dropout no auto restore after restart.
2. The Wifi range is like a 3th of my older Netgear router.
2.4Ghz Max speed is Down: 70Mbit/s Up: 11Mbit/s. With a slow start and with a lot jitter. Up to max 10 Meter.
5.0Ghz Max speed is Down: 170Mbit/s Up: 14Mbit/s. With a slow start and with a lot jitter. Up to max 5 Meter. My phone Samsung Galaxy Note 10 does not always see the
5.0 band its like poping up and down aigan. My Xbox one is like 4m away and it stays relatively connected only it is unstable and the resolution of the Netflix stream is constandly going Up and down. If i connect my phone to the 5.0Ghz band the Youtube resolution starts auto on 450p and on 4G connection its on max resolution even up to 2K.
3. UTP Cat 7 connection directly from the Archer to my pc is simply cut down by 2 after a few hours after the router restart. Down: 97Mbit/s Up: 9Mbit/s.
4. When i do my speed test i have noticed that it takes a long time to start the test and when the test start it takes time to get the speed up, And the jitter is like a christmas three.
I have tested all my connection directly to my ISP router, no problems! I had the same setup with the Netgear no problems. unfortunately I gave my Netgear to a friend as he now also needed internet for working from home with the currect lockdown.
5. I had contacted my ISP provider, they have installed a new main Router - Installed new drop cables and checked all settting.
Becouse working from home is like hell with your TP link AX6000 i spend more time restoring my work VPN and internet connection and tinkering with the router settings,
i think i tested all the settings now, even my IT guys from work was going locco, his advice is dont buy chinees products and specially no internet divices.
C. SOLUTION??
Is there a solution for this mess or should I just send my Tp link back to the seller?
If more info neded feel free to ask. I give This Product 3 more days and than its going back to the seller.
Sorry in advance for my negativity and bad englisch Nativ language is Dutch sow no luck for me on this TP Link community.
