1. Maximum wireless transmission rates are the physical rates derived from IEEE Standard 802.11 specifications. Range and coverage specifications are based upon test results under normal usage conditions. Actual wireless transmission rate and wireless coverage are not guaranteed, and will vary as a result of 1) environmental factors, including building materials, physical objects and obstacles, 2) network conditions, including local interference, volume and density of traffic, product location, network complexity, and network overhead and 3) client limitations, including rated performance, location, connection quality, and client condition. 2. Claims about 802.11ax Wi-Fi technology are based on comparisons of the expected maximum theoretical data rates for one spatial stream using 802.11ax at 160 MHz (1201 Mbps) as opposed to one spatial stream using 802.11ac at 80 MHz (433 Mbps) as documented in IEEE 802.11ax draft 3.0 spec and IEEE 802.11-2016 wireless standard specifications, and require the use of similarly configured 802.11ax wireless network routers. Use of 802.11ax Wi-Fi standard requires clients to also support the 802.11ax Wi-Fi standard. 3. Use of MU-MIMO, DL/UL OFDMA, TWT, WPA3 and 1024QAM requires clients to also support those functions. 4. Capacity refers to overall average throughput. This amendment defines standardized modifications to both the IEEE 802.11 physical layers (PHY) and the IEEE 802.11 Medium Access Control layer (MAC) that enable at least one mode of operation capable of supporting at least four times improvement in the average throughput per station (measured at the MAC data service access point) in a dense deployment scenario, while maintaining or improving the power efficiency per station. 5.Saving clients' battery power requires clients to also support the 802.11ax Wi-Fi standard. Actual power reduction may vary as a result of network conditions, client limitations, and environmental factors. 6. This router may not support all the mandatory features as ratified in Draft 3.0 of IEEE 802.11AX specification.

Reviewed in the United States on December 16, 2023
Review update: after a few days wifi seemed very slow. Testing revealed that the problem was TP-Link's "smart connect" feature. As with any dual-band router, you can set the slow 2.4GHz band and the fast 5GHz band to the same SSID. Normally this would allow your device - laptop, phone, etc - to choose which band to use. Smart Connect is supposed to optimize network performance by allowing the router itself to decide which band each device should use. But what Smart Connect actually does is the reverse of optimal: it only allows one device to connect to 5GHz, and kicks everything else to 2.4GHz! Even if that one 5GHz connected device is idle, every other device is locked out.
There is a long thread on the TP-Link user forum about this bug in several TP-Link routers, with users complaining and TP-Link tech support people just saying "that shouldn't happen"! In any case, to fix it problem go into the web-based network settings page and turn off smart connect. You can then manually give the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands the same SSID, but keep the check box for Smart Connect in the off setting. After this little adjustment, everything worked great again.
Never had any issues but thought it's time to upgrade with all the wifi now used. Could not find a comparable Buffalo (may be no more?)...I settled on the tp-link wifi6. One of their newer offerings but at a reasonable price.
Set up was a breeze using the phone app. Basically unplugging, re plugging, waiting for the reboots and it was good to go. I only get about 20 Mbps from spectrum so my tv/TiVo combo is connected with Ethernet. Still I was getting some dreaded hesitation (spinning circle) during some shows. So far with the tp-link I have not had that happen. I did try moving the antenna in different positions but hard to tell where they send the best signal. So far happy with this unit. Hopefully it will last half as long as the Buffalo.
Top reviews from other countries
The connections provided by this router are incredibly stable, and I have not experienced any drop-offs or interruptions. The WiFi 6 technology really shines here, giving me extremely fast and efficient wireless speeds that are perfect for my gaming and streaming needs.
One of the standout features of this router is its dual-band functionality. The 5GHz connections are incredibly smooth and fast, making it ideal for my high-bandwidth activities. The user-interface is friendly and intuitive, making it a breeze to navigate and configure my settings.
This router has proven itself to be very reliable, and I am genuinely impressed with the auto updatable firmware feature. It keeps my router secure and up to date without any hassle on my part. Plus, the WiFi range is nothing short of amazing. Even when I set the transmit power to medium, I get excellent coverage throughout my entire home.
I have tried many routers in the past, but this one takes the cake! I can honestly say that I have not encountered any cons with this product. It delivers on every promise, and I couldn't be happier with my purchase.
If you're in the market for a wireless router that offers easy installation, stable connections, lightning-fast speeds, and fantastic range, look no further. This router is worth every penny!
