I recently integrated the TP-Link WiFi 6 OneMesh Router AX1800 with our home network. Setting it up was straightforward, thanks to the user-friendly app and clear instructions. The OneMesh feature is a game-changer. I linked it with our existing TP-Link range extenders, creating a unified network that gives us smooth, consistent WiFi throughout the house. No more dead zones or dropped connections – just seamless internet everywhere. Performance-wise, the AX1800 is fantastic. The WiFi 6 technology means faster speeds and better efficiency, even with multiple devices connected. Whether the kids or the wife are watching videos, gaming, or working from home, everything runs smoothly. The coverage has also been impressive. Our entire home is now covered with a strong, reliable WiFi signal, including areas that used to have weak or no signal. This has been a lifesaver for maintaining stable connections during video calls and remote work. Overall, the TP-Link WiFi 6 OneMesh Router AX1800 has been a great addition to our home. It offers excellent speed, coverage, and ease of use. If you’re looking to upgrade your home WiFi, I highly recommend this router and using the OneMesh feature for seamless connectivity.

Bought as Swish Fibre (as was) supplied the awful designed Plume which in any case had stopped working on ethernet cables. This plugged straight into the modem without any configuration, I plugged in my 3 ethernet cables, updated phone, TV etc etc to the new WiFi. And it is working really well. The WiFi range is excellant and hi speed. I did have to give it firmware update but that was so easy to do.

I spent several weeks changing settings as the router was crashing every few days after running out of memory, but now it is working well. TPLink support was ok once it was escalated, but I’m not sure how often the firmware is updated to fix issues as the last one was quite a while ago. I have one as an access point and one as a router and the wifi signal is good, plus the wpa3 and 802.11ax are nice to have, as well as some other features like scheduled reboot, parental controls and remote access. The original advert said it had new device notifications but it didn’t, however this was since corrected and isn’t a major problem. I had hoped the mesh feature would work with a router and access point, but this wasn’t supported so I just set it up the old way with sensible channel numbers. Does the job, just a shame it took a while to work reliably as my network settings are not really unusual and I like to see issues like this properly fixed.

I added the BE65 as part of an upgrade to my old Deco X20 system as it is compatible with all the other new Deco BE9300 3 pack. The Deco App automatically recognised all of my new units and asked me if I wanted to automatically transfer all of my information like SSID and Password securely to the new units which it did. Setup took a maximum of 10 minutes and I was back online. The signal strength was immediately better as I needed 6 units to cover the very thick brick walls in my home before whereas 4 are no more than sufficient. The new units are compatible with All of my connected items including IOTs. On testing the download speed I was more than impressed, it was nearly 3 times faster than my X20s, they also have better built in security features with better notifications of attempted intrusion. They are expensive but in my opinion well worth the price as they will last for many years to come with OTA updates.

Increased WiFi speeds from ~50mbps to over 800mbps. I upgraded from 2 x google WiFi devices (don’t know the model of nest or not, but they were old 5GHz devices) to 1 single Deco BE65. (BE 9300). This single unit serves my entire home - 4 bedrooms, 2 floors, old London home with thick brick walls and wooden floors. The best thing has been the significant upgrade in WiFi speed which were surprising to me. The Deco creates 3 SSIDs. One standard, one for 6ghz and one for MLO (WiFi 7). I’m not yet familiar with the requirement for all 3 but my iPhone 16 gets about 700mbps, one floor and 2 rooms away from the router on all 3 of the ssids. My 5 year old MacBook Pro gets 650mbps but is not wifi7 compatible so only sees 2 of the ssids. (All of this is against a 1Gb internet connection). The setup was easy enough. A couple of issues that were super easy to fix but I am an ex network engineer. I think a competent home user would find the setup easy if you are creating a brand new WiFi network (with a new name/ssid). I replaced my old network exactly in the hope the existing devices would just connect to the new network, which they did, but it needed a little love during the setup. The Deco app is more advanced than I thought it would be. There are some basic security features but you don’t need them. It has things like QoS, vPN client and server, guest network, block lists, allow lists etc. If you want something plug and play with a few extras, this feels like a good fit but most people won’t need more than the 5 min initial setup. All in, this has been an enormous upgrade for me, from the Google WiFi kit (on a wired backhaul) and a simplification as I only need one device. Would recommend.

I bought 3 of these for whole house coverage with the “EasyMesh” feature. This works really well for the main household WiFi, BUT (and it’s a BIG BUT!!) neither the guest network nor the IOT network will extend through the satellite routers. The excuse TP-Link give to the many disgruntled customers is that it’s due to the way the network is extended wirelessly, BUT my routers are connected with network cables and it still won’t extend the WiFi networks. This is a huge limitation and I feel I was misled by the description. So beware if you want whole house guest and IOT networks too. It won’t work!

this rather expensive piece of kit is fantastic. Easy to set up and works like a dream. It handles high speed internet very well. We have 4 units that provide good coverage to a big house. It replaced an old Orbi system that kept dropping.

Boa cobertura, atende ao proposto

This router (Archer C80) probably represents the last generation of Wifi-5 only devices, and as such is likely to be among the best we'll see of this kind. This device's pricing (~4.5K at the time of writing) puts it in the entry level, but make no mistake, this wireless router should work perfectly fine for most people. It's got a 3x3 MU-MIMO radio, with beam-forming, and every other wireless feature that is associated with Wave2 Wifi 5 routers. While it has excellent hardware features, note that it's quite light on advanced software features - so if you're looking for some specific feature, read the documentation before purchasing. As a basic wireless router, this device is almost perfect. I used this device to replace an aging TP-Link Archer C50 (v1), which only had a 100Mbit WAN port, and which couldn't handle more than 80Mbps over Wifi under the best of circumstances. I had two important considerations when purchasing this device: 1. To remove any kind of bottleneck on the 5Ghz frequency band. 2. To improve the usability of Wifi in a distant room (~10m, separated by 3 walls and furniture). ## Close-to-mid range performance After replacing the C50 with this device, my PC which is about 3m from the router, and seperated by 1 wall gets a flawless 150Mbps that my ISP offers (April 2021 Update: My ISP now offers 300 Mbps, and that works fine as well). External reviews indicate that this device should handle at least 600Mbps on 5Ghz. I have zero complaints about 5Ghz performance. 2.4Ghz is usually a "backup" band for these days, since all recent devices support 5Ghz 802.11ac at minimum. On my Poco F1, at ~3m line of sight, I get about 120 Mbps on 2.4Ghz, which I think is perfectly fine, considering the limitations of this frequency band. I'm always using 5Ghz nowadays anyway, which is now limited only by ISP's plan speed. ## Long-range performance In the more distant room (~10m, blocked by 3 walls and furniture), I have an old Dell laptop only has a 2.4Ghz radio. This couldn't even get a reliable Wifi signal with the older C50 router. While picking this device, I'd paid close attention to the wireless sensitivity specifications that TP-Link helpfully provides on its website, and noted that this device, while entry-level, sports some of the best numbers in its entire range, sometimes beating their highest end devices. I had high expectations from this router, and it did not let me down. After switching to the Archer C80, the old Dell laptop was able to get a solid connection with around 15 to 20 Mbps on the 2.4 Ghz band. However, since that speed wasn't good enough, I purchased a TP-Link T9UH adapter (AC1900) to see if that would improve things, and indeed it did. With the upgraded Wifi receiver, even the distant room got a reliable ~140 Mbps on the 5Ghz band. In this room, even my Poco F1 is unable to stay connected to the 5Ghz signal, so it probably also has to do with the excellent performance of the T9UH adapter, which is also a modern 3x3 MU-MIMO device that supports beamforming; the router and the adapter have matching specs. ## Conclusion At this price point, I don't think there is any alternative to this device. The closest modern TP-Link alternative is the Archer AX10, a first-generation Wifi-6 (802.11ax) device that I didn't have a use for. I don't own a single Wifi-6 device and it'll be a few years yet before Wifi-6 devices become commonplace. Also, Wifi-5 (5Ghz, 802.11ac) is clearly good enough for a couple of years; I doubt that Gigabit internet connections will become standard in the short-term and a ~500 Mbps connection from the ISP should be fine for ~99.99% of people for the next couple of years - a speed which the C80 should be able to handle perfectly fine.

Box comes with router, power adapter, network cable and an illustrated setup guide. Setup was straightforward and quick. Wifi signal is strong and stable; my MBP RSSI reading is -30 dBm, which is much higher than the previous wireless AC router (-38 dBm) that it replaces. Great buy and value.

Loved having a separated WiFi for the home devices, guests and home. USB port which can be used for local network storage. Among other software features.

Très efficace, utilisé avec un tp-link re500e pour un réseau mesh. Grosse amélioration de la connexion wifi. Il est connecté à une bbox Proximus pour créer un sous réseau. Plus de soucis en cas de panne Proximus, ce réseau local reste fonctionnel (imprimante, nas, autres pc, HomeAssistant, …). J’ai également configuré un vpn WireGuard pour accéder à HomeAssistant quand je suis hors de chez moi.
