Fast and easy to set up
I upgraded my nbn from fttn to fttp, my old modem was capping the speed to 200mbps so i bought this after researching then as i set it up it went directly to 500mbps. Also set was very easy from the app and i could even set the wifi name and password to the old modem one so everything like lights, door bell or wofi enabled devices stayed connected without resetting anything. So worked great

Perfect for normal day-to-day use
This router is easy to setup and use. Consistent and fast connection. I wanted to use it with VPN and it was extremely easy to do so. Good value for money.

Not a modem
I went I store to purchase a modem after my other one decided to give up. Got sold this and unfortunately when I called my internet provider, they advised it was not a modem. I had to purchase another modem and thought I would try this as a wifi extender and to be honest, doesn’t make any differences to the speed etc of our devices. Waste of money i

Excellent router with reasonable price
The Wifi router is easy to install and connect. I bought it to replace my old router which disconnects every few weeks. I like the feature of this router that will identify and connect your devices to achieve the best performance automatically either 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz if devices are compatible. I bought this router during special offer and it is value for money.

Mostly good
I was expecting the one with the usb slot, but this works fine. The client detection can be a bit flaky, but it does the job.

Q: Is the TP-LINK AX1800 Dual-Band Wi-Fi 6 Router a modem and router in one?
A: No. This model is a router only, so it needs to connect to an existing modem or to the NBN connection device supplied for your service. It is a good fit if the modem side is already covered and you want newer Wi-Fi 6 performance.
Q: How fast is the TP-LINK AX1800 Dual-Band Wi-Fi 6 Router in real use?
A: It is rated AX1800, which means 1201 Mbps on 5 GHz and 574 Mbps on 2.4 GHz under Wi-Fi 6 conditions. Real speeds are lower once walls, distance, connected device limits and your internet plan speed are taken into account.
Q: What is the difference between the TP-LINK AX1800 router and the Archer AX12?
A: The AX1800 class sits above the AX12 class, mainly by offering a faster 2.4 GHz band at 574 Mbps instead of 300 Mbps. That matters in homes with more smart devices, longer-range connections or heavier use across both Wi-Fi bands.
Q: Will this TP-LINK Wi-Fi 6 router work with older Wi-Fi devices?
A: Yes. The router is backward compatible with older Wi-Fi standards, so existing phones, laptops and smart home gear can still connect. Older devices will not gain Wi-Fi 6 features, and their speeds will be limited by their own wireless hardware.
Q: Is AX1800 enough for 4K streaming, gaming and a typical family home?
A: Yes, AX1800 is usually enough for a small to medium household running several 4K streams, video calls and online gaming at the same time. Larger homes, heavy multi-user traffic or gigabit fibre plans may benefit from a higher-tier router.
