Modem Router
This is a very neat and easy to install modem router. I am a not tech person and I found that with my very limited tech skills, I was able to install the router and have in up and running in no time. It sits very neatly on my bench compared to my three previous routers. I have a two storey, 4 bedroom house and this router covers every room.

Looks great but average performance
Bought this based on reviews, however the performance I’ve had is average at best. Has a tendency to drop out a couple of times at night, I live alone so it’s not others accessing its bandwidth. Location is clear and unobstructed. It works but not as great as some have experienced.

Works well for a small place
Apart from the confusing name (DSL) that tripped the nbn installation guy, this router works well for a small 2 bedroom unit. Was tricky to setup but got there in the end.

Device is excellent. Installation instructions could be better.
Set-up was reasonably straightforward. The only snag was with the instructions which directed me to use a grey cable, when in fact it was a white cable that worked for me. Fairly minor, but annoying nonetheless. The app required for set-up, control and monitoring works fine. Importantly, it has been 4 weeks now and the modem-router has worked flawlessly. I'm in a small apartment so I can't comment on the reach of the WiFi signal.

At a glance
This AX3000 Wi-Fi 6 VDSL mesh modem router is a strong fit for small to medium homes or apartments that want direct DSL or NBN FTTN/FTTB connectivity without needing a separate modem. It offers good coverage, simple app control and gigabit Ethernet for wired devices. Its main limitation is that a single pack is less suited to larger homes than multi-unit mesh systems.
What it’s great for
- Everyday Home Internet
- Streaming
- Video Calls
- Smart Home Connectivity
- Light Gaming
- Wired Entertainment Devices
Where it works best
- Apartments
- Small Homes
- Medium Homes
- Home Offices
- Family Living Spaces
Who it’s for
- Households on DSL or NBN FTTN/FTTB
- Apartment Dwellers
- Families
- Remote Workers
- Everyday Users
Things to consider
A single unit covers up to 230 square metres, but larger or more complex homes may get better whole-home consistency from a multi-pack mesh system or a higher-end router with stronger dedicated backhaul options.
Large home coverage score
7/10 - strong for a single unit with up to 230 square metres coverage, but very large homes may need additional mesh units
Smart home device compatibility
Good for typical smart home setups, with dual-band Wi-Fi, mesh support and security options suited to connected home devices
Gaming performance rating
7/10 - suitable for casual to moderate gaming, especially on wired gigabit Ethernet, but not a specialist gaming router
Easy setup suitability
9/10 - the Deco app makes setup and ongoing management straightforward for most households
Key benefits
- Wi-Fi 6 AX3000: Delivers fast dual-band wireless performance for busy homes with multiple connected devices.
- Built-in VDSL/ADSL modem: Connects directly to DSL and NBN FTTN or FTTB services without needing a separate modem.
- Up to 230 square metres coverage: A single unit can cover small to medium homes or apartments with fewer dead spots.
- Mesh Wi-Fi support: Helps maintain a more consistent connection as you move around the home.
- Four gigabit Ethernet ports: Lets you connect smart TVs, gaming consoles and other wired devices with stable high-speed links.
- Automatic band steering: Distributes devices across 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands to help balance network performance.
- WPA, WPA2 and WPA3 security: Supports modern wireless security options to help protect your home network.
- Deco app setup and management: Makes installation, monitoring and everyday network control easier from your phone.
Q: Does this modem router work directly with NBN FTTN or FTTB?
A: Yes. TP-LINK AX3000 VDSL Mesh Modem Router has a built-in VDSL/ADSL modem, so it can connect directly to NBN FTTN and FTTB services. It is aimed at DSL-based connections rather than NBN types that use a separate connection box.
Q: Can it replace my separate modem and router on DSL internet?
A: Yes. This model combines a VDSL/ADSL modem and Wi-Fi router in one unit, which can simplify a DSL setup and reduce extra hardware. That suits homes moving from an older modem-router pair, but it is not a dedicated gaming router with specialist controls.
Q: Will one unit cover a small or medium home properly?
A: Yes, for many homes. A single unit covers up to 230 square metres when used on its own, which suits many apartments and small to medium homes. Larger layouts, dense walls, or difficult two-storey spots can still leave weaker areas at the far edges.
Q: Are the Ethernet ports enough for a TV and gaming console?
A: Yes. TP-LINK AX3000 VDSL Mesh Modem Router has four gigabit Ethernet ports for wired devices such as a smart TV, gaming console, desktop PC, or network switch. That is useful if some devices perform better on cable than over Wi-Fi.
Q: Do older 2.4GHz smart home devices connect to this router?
A: Yes. This model broadcasts both 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi bands, so older smart home devices that only use 2.4GHz can still connect. Newer phones, tablets, and laptops can use 5GHz where supported for higher speed over shorter range.
