At the end of last year, I’d picked up my first dual-band router—WiFi5/AX1500 (not one of the top three brands, but a good one nonetheless). Whether I wanted them to or not, my provider (Spectrum) increased internet speeds and upgraded my modem, and that router wasn’t keeping up with things. I’d kept my eyes open for a quicker, more current router, and this one was on sale for about $55.I have used TP-Link routers before and find them very reliable. Since the modem is 1GB, I wanted something more compatible and, also, I pay for 4K on one of my premium streaming services, and my speed and bandwidth with the AX1500 wasn’t offering me that quality.Because I’ve used TP-Link (and was currently using a TP-Link extender), I already had the Tether app on my phone and tablet. That made it very easy to set up this router. Note that this Archer AX-10 dual-band router can either use Smart Connect to choose between 2.4 and 5 Ghz bands or you can set them up separately. I prefer separate, especially since I have something like six smart outlets and eight smart lightbulbs configured, and the outlets and bulbs were pretty finicky with my older router.I have to say that the range on this is very good. My home is about 2400 sf; 1800 upstairs and a large studio room downstairs. I’ve learned to keep my router high up on a piece of furniture, and so the signal makes it through the house pretty well. (Signal strength decreases in the farthest room. And, as you probably know, 2.4 travels farther than 5 Ghz.) But the range, speed, strength, and stability of this router exceeds my previous one. When watching certain streaming channels, they would lag or freeze using 2.4 in more distant rooms, but I haven’t found that to be the case with this. The signal is very solid.That said, I am a little disappointed in the speeds, but maybe this is what they’re supposed to be as the router is handling many devices. And I haven’t taken the time yet to call Spectrum to find out what the story is. This is at least twice as fast as my previous router. While the Tether app was very useful for the initial setup, more advanced settings are available on their website, which Tether leads you to. That, for instance, gave me the option to update the router’s firmware, which, on my setup, did increase speeds a bit. While my A1500 was giving me only 13 Mbps on my farthest 2.4 Ghz Roku, this has increased that to 31 Mbps but also given that stream much more stability. My 5 Ghz speeds went from 91 to ~220–240 Mbps on a Roku and my 4K Smart Fire TV, which are about six feet away from the router. (I learned that the Fire-TV's ethernet port is limited to about 100 Mbps.) Speed tests for my laptop and desktop Macs show about 450 download (more than four times AX1500 WiFi5 modem) and 22 Mbps upload (which, I assume, my provider is limiting).I had questions about the direct-connect speed with the smart tv, and posted a query in the manufacturer's user forum, and they answered and solved the problem within a few hours.I thought I was very clever naming both 5 and 2.4 bands the same as the previous modem with the same passwords, but yet, I had to relink everything—every smart bulb, every smart outlet, every device (the devices and computers needed me to enter passwords again). That took a while.I’ve read this is not the latest update of WiFi 6. It’s a little beyond my technical expertise but reviews say it doesn’t support 160MHz channel width or WPA3 encryption, and it lacks USB ports. I don’t need USB ports and the other “deficiencies” (such that they are) don’t bother me. For the price I purchased this at, it’s certainly improved my internet speeds and stability. I do need to call my provider and see exactly what speeds I should be expecting, but this router seems fast, reliable, and strong.

Surprisingly good performance for a “cheap” router. I bought this almost 5 years ago and this thing has been great. I’ve had more expensive routers before but this one performs just as well for little money compared to the others. This covers almost the entire house, roughly 3400 sq feet. It has both 5 ghz and 2.4 ghz. You can also set up a guest network. Can’t ask for more from an affordable router.
