    is this better than AC1600 for NBN HFC?

    • OMGJL on 31/05/2025 - 23:02
      +3

      I won’t comment on the hardware/SoC/specs of this router.

      AC = WiFi 5, AX = WiFi 6.

      Both are dual-band (2.4GHz + 5GHz), but AC only uses the new standard on 5GHz. It uses WiFi Gen 4 on 2.4GHz.
      WiFi Gen 6 have AX standard on both bands (note: this router doesn't utilize new technology on 2.4Ghz band)

      Your AC1600 likely does 1200Mbps on 5GHz — same as this AX router. (Full Spec WiFi AX router will be at least AX3000, which run 2400Mbps on 5Ghz band)

      getting this router, you'll only get new technology, but not RAW speed, to be specific, WiFi 6 adds:

      Better multi-device handling (OFDMA, MU-MIMO)
      Improved performance on 2.4GHz
      Lower latency
      Power savings for connected devices (TWT)

      Long story short, if you have a lot of devices at home all accessing network at the same time, this will run better.

      • jimmykim on 01/06/2025 - 07:31

        is this going to be better than Eero6+ ?

        • OMGJL on 01/06/2025 - 11:43
          +1

          no, eero6+ have full spec wifi6 @ ax3000.

          Btw if you are buying eero6+ at full price, might as well spend another $50 to get the eero7

      I gotta agree. I have the AX 10 & AX55 and they are both junk. Drop outs galore. I restart the router as much as my car.

      • wintersnow911 on 31/05/2025 - 19:27

        I've had AX55 for about 4 months now, no issues

      Might be cooling issues, can you try put it in a more open area and blow a fan into it? Maybe it will solve the issue

    Price matching Scorptec and Umart and Amazon too so I've added all those to the deal title

      Googled a review and it's been out since 2021?

      I need something that my 2.4GHz network won't be affected by my microwave … this does not seem like it.

      • scrimshaw on 31/05/2025 - 14:18

        It's a dual-band router that does both 2.4ghz + 5ghz

        It is a very barebones 6ghz router though, it doesn't have 160mhz channel width and the 2.4ghz network is not actually Wifi 6, it's only Wifi 4. Hence the model name AX1500.

        If you want Wifi 6 on both spectrums you should look at getting the AX1800 or higher.

      • alxr0101 on 31/05/2025 - 16:17
        +1

        ALL wifi routers operating in 2.4GHz band will be affected by a microwave that's also causing interference in usable frequencies.

        You need to adjust the wifi router frequency to avoid the affected channels.

        And if you utilise wider channel width (eg. 40 instead of 20MHz) , then you risk running into an affected spectrum range.

        As microwave interference is non-wifi (but affects the same spectrum) you will not be able to analyse the affected spectrum without specialised hardware and software.

        Instead, identify when performance drops whilst operating (cooking mode) the microwave.

        Then trial diff channels (1, 6 or 11). Do not use intermediate channels…just 1,6 or 11.

        My microwave affects ch1 and related channels, so I set my tplink to opposite end (ch11).

        SOME wifi routers do NOT allow this configuration. But this does.

        Some routers have an auto detect feature…not seen any reliable or stable….and the momentary dropouts can be misdiagnosed as a faulty router but it's the wifi router adapting to the environment.

        Not just microwaves, I've also experienced a rangehood faulty quartz halogen downlight causing interference.

        Don't condemn the router without first identifying sources of EMF interference.

        • Juice08 on 31/05/2025 - 17:28

          Thanks for your comprehensive advice!

          I had no idea I could change channels but I found that I can do that on my VR-1600v.

          I just assumed it had to do with the strength of the signal/antenna and the reviews were not great on these things.

          • alxr0101 on 31/05/2025 - 19:20

            @Juice08: Reviews, both "professional" and otherwise, should be carefully scrutinised. Note also that this is V3 of hardware so disregard the 2021 vintage as indicative of capability.

            It's a feature-packed,stable sub$100 router…don't bother with reviewers that compare with $$$routers.

            Some reviews also suggest the LAN ports are non-gigabit…specs for all versions state gigabit.

            Take reviews with a grain of proverbial.

    Pricier, but sharing, I got the TP Link Archer AX73, solid router, great range.
    Getting my max 100mbps 3 rooms away from where the router is located.
    I'd get another TP Link once Wifi7 routers come down in price.

  • Mregmi on 31/05/2025 - 14:19

    Spend little more for AX3000, excellent range.

  • Prav on 31/05/2025 - 14:36

    Can anyone confirm whether it's a Broadcom BCM6750? I'll be using it solely as an FTTN modem.

    • Twix on 31/05/2025 - 14:39
      +1

      TP-Link Archer AX10 is a router and it can't be used as a VDSL2 modem for FTTN.

      FTTN = VDSL2 modem bridged + TP-Link Archer AX10 router.

  • JuryWheel on 31/05/2025 - 14:46

    I run an Asus tuf-ax3000 but looking for better reception across the house - am I better off going with another Asus to act as an access point…?

    • Twix on 31/05/2025 - 15:01

      Yeah purchase another Asus. Are you using wired ethernet or mesh Wi-Fi to link up the TUF-AX3000 and the new Asus?

      • JuryWheel on 31/05/2025 - 16:24

        Can do either really (happy to run Ethernet in the roof to the access point if it will perform that much better/be that much easier to setup)

        • Twix on 31/05/2025 - 16:41

          Go wired where possible.

          Option 1: Asus TUF-AX3000 configured as the wireless router + new Asus.
          Option 2: new Asus configured as the wireless router + Asus TUF-AX3000.

          Ethernet backhaul setup.

    What's the best value router? Don't have any big wireless needs. Was looking at the Mercusys mr90x quad core 512mb ram for $134 but not sure if 512mb ram is enough. That or Flint 2 for $200.

    • [Deactivated] on 31/05/2025 - 15:28

      why do you need such a powerful router with so much ram, what is the difference, unless you want to run apps on it?

    • naturaldecay on 31/05/2025 - 17:26

      I actually just got this from Centrecom, same price. The main reason was, I got 1000/50 FTTP yesterday and my last router (also from TP link, a VR400) had its 3 outgoing ports limited to 100Mbps! It advertised itself as a full gigabit router, but no, only its WiFi can theoretically hit that.
      Anyway this AX1500 is working great, I'm getting 950Mbps through 20m long cables and one switch, and its wifi goes through multiple plaster and brick walls to just give me coverage 20m away from the router, in my back yard. Pretty good.

    Stick with Asus, they make quality routers that don't drop signal. Easy setup and their router app is good.

    Recently got the Asus AX3000 (RT-AX58U) for $164, got OW to price match bigW - 5%

    OW price is $197, big W is $173, OW after the price match is $164

    Has wifi6 really been around for almost 5 years? Can't believe my pricey router is basically worthless now.

  • poolespool on 31/05/2025 - 21:35

    I'm still using the Optus provided Sagemcom F@ST 5366 TN. This AX1500 seems like great value but I have no idea if it's a worthwhile upgrade as I can't find the specs of the Sagemcom to compare. I'm told wifi 6 is a must nowadays.
