TP-LINK Archer AX50
 | Expecting restock One of the top models of high-speed wireless routers (routers) with increased transmitter power. A product of the 2019 model year, it is one of the powerful dual-band Wi-Fi 6 routers. It is positioned as a high-end model designed to create fast and reliable wireless and cable networks with low latency and impressively high data transfer rates . Equipped with four Gigabit Ethernet LAN cable ports (up to 1 Gbps) and a USB 3.2 Gen 1 connector for connecting external USB drives. Leveraging Intel's powerful hardware platform based on the Intel WAV654 dual-core chipset, the TP-LINK Archer AX50 router delivers a theoretical throughput of up to 574Mbps in the 2.4GHz band and up to 2402Mbps in the 5GHz carrier band. It should be noted that in fact, values close to those given can be obtained only w...hen using client devices that support the Wi-Fi 6 standard (MU-MIMO technology, OFDMA orthogonal frequency multiplexing and 1024-QAM modulation). Large detachable antennas and the successful implementation of Beamforming technology allow you to create an impressive Wi-Fi coverage area. The router supports Firewall, NAT, DHCP, FTP and file server functions. Can play the role of a network drive, supports the Time Machine backup function for Apple computers. |

Good router, fully worth its price. Penetration capability is good; in a two-room apartment, all devices (3 phones, 2 laptops, 1 tablet, 1 desktop PC, 1 smart TV) work steadily, speed ~281 Mbps (Beeline’s 300 Mbps plan). Two frequency bands 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz with SmartConnect function (through the app). Convenient smartphone app, you can set everything up, including turning off the indicators at night. You can also update the firmware through the app, see which devices are connected and on which channels, set up parental controls, and much more! Overall, I was very satisfied with the app. Aesthetic appearance. Regarding heating - the first day it was indeed quite warm, the next day, for some reason, it became more "cool" and has been working like this ever since. I don’t know if it’s related, but on the first night after purchase, I installed the latest firmware version. Not detected.  Sergey K: use TP-LINK Archer AX50 less than month |
An excellent router, it sucks as much traffic from the network as the provider allows Signal strength penetrates the walls of the entire two-room apartment, providing stable 95-97Mbps on each device, no matter where it is located in the apartment, with a 100Mbps plan. When downloading something on one of the computers, others do not lose speed and do not experience any drops at all, while the downloading achieves maximum speed. The speed between devices is not significantly reduced. Previously, there was a TL-WR840N, which rebooted when more than 6 devices were connected, but this one handles 8-10 devices easily, without strain and speed loss. What was pleasing is that both 2 and 5 GHz are broadcast simultaneously; we connected phones to 5 GHz and relieved the load from 2 GHz, which the home computers occupied. If anyone is having internet issues - constantly disconnecting or low speed, 95% of the time, the problem is with the router. Get this one, and you won’t have any problems. I liked everything, it only heats up decently, I wish it had a built-in fan or some kind of cooling. So far this has not manifested itself in any way, but who knows what it will lead to  Vlad Dorohov: use TP-LINK Archer AX50 less than month |

When there's nothing more to add
What do we usually mean when we talk about routers for gamers and streamers? Usually, this is a stuffed device like the Asus ROG Rapture with a price tag of under $500, a shocking appearance and tens of thousands of functions, the availability of which you most likely do not even know exists. The TP-LINK Archer AX50 that came to us for review is the exact opposite of everything that has been said: the appearance here is simple, the price tag is adequate, but the hardware will give odds to many more expensive models, and the entire list of skills will take a separate article.
4 powerful antennas with Wi-Fi 6
Therefore, let's go through the most important. First of all, the ability of the “archer” to work in Wi-Fi 6 networks comes to mind. So far, it’s more of a bonus, but in a year and a half there will be a must-have. The OFDMA protocol, which allows multiple devices to simultaneously use the same range without queues for data transmission, looks very promising. But this is just one of the features of the new standard. Traditionally, two bands are used for signal transmission: up to 574 Mbps in the 2.4 GHz band and up to 2402 Mbps in the 5 GHz band. To enhance the signal, the router is equipped with four powerful antennas. If you need to transmit a signal over a cable, then 4 gigabit LAN ports are at your service. In general, there are no complaints about the quality of communication, the new protocol demonstrates excellent results in difficult reception conditions.
Traffic prioritization, automatic backup and dedicated USB port
We won’t even talk about the presence of a powerful processor and the integration of MU-MIMO with Beamforming, any non-low-cost router should be friends with them. Among other interesting features of the model, we highlight the ability to set parental controls and set priorities for traffic distribution. Useful for gamers, streamers, and cloud service subscribers like GeForce NOW. The final touch is a dedicated USB 3.2 gen 1 port with support for the Link Aggregation function, which allows you to connect an external SSD to the router and get a record-breaking home cloud or backup server (the router is friends with Apple Time Machine). In comparison to this, almost the only drawback was easily soiled plastic, which instantly collects prints and dust.
