Review: Solid performer - [updated] I updated from a TP-Link Archer C7. I have an Arris SB8200 modem. Here are a few notes. The AX55 signal strength seems a little better, especially in the 5 GHz band. It also adds 802.11ax and WPA3 security as well as "Smart Connect" which allows you to combine 2.4G and 5G bands under a single SSID and have the router decide which to use with each client. You could just give the separate bands the same SSID with any router. In that case each client would decide which band to use. The router login no longer uses a username, only a password. I have now tried "Smart Connect" with 2 TP-Link routers in 2 different houses and I am not impressed. On both I eventually had to separate the 2 bands. It was especially dysfunctional on mobile devices (phones, laptops, etc.). It doesn't seem to switch bands very easily as you move around. Even stationary devices seem to bounce inexplicably between the two bands, which can have very different signal strengths. The wi-fi encryption settings can be a problem depending on your equipment. The options are: None WPA2-PSK[AES] WPA2-PSK[AES]+WPA-PSK[TKIP] WPA3-Personal WPA3-Personal+WPA2-PSK[AES] WPA2-Enterprise WPA/WPA2-Enterprise I wouldn't touch either WPA or TKIP. Previously I used only WPA2-PSK[AES]. I would have liked to have used WPA3-Personal+WPA2-PSK[AES] here, but I have an older 2.4G printer with WPA/WPA2[AES or TKIP]. It would not connect unless the router was set to WPA2-PSK[AES] or WPA2-PSK[AES]+WPA-PSK[TKIP]. In the end, I set the 2.4G band to WPA2 (only) and the 5G band to WPA2+WPA3. Configuration and Installation ----------------------------------- Installing the router was pretty straightforward. I turned off wi-fi on my laptop, wired it (DHCP) to one of the router's client ports, browsed to 192.168.0.1, and logged in (password is on the bottom of the router). Alternatively, you could leave your wi-fi enabled and connect to the router's default SSID, also on the bottom. Doing it over wi-fi is just a bit more risky. I configured it entirely through the web interface using the Advanced menus. I changed the password and IPv4 address and left it with a temporary SSID while walking through all the other settings. After that was done, I shut down my old router, changed the temporary SSID and passcode on the new router to the permanent ones, shut down the new router, and connected it to my modem. I have not as yet found anything I can do with the Tether app that I can't do, and more easily, with the web interface. The router would not connect to the internet when I powered it on until I remembered that the modem has to be rebooted to pick up the router's MAC address. It won't connect to a new router until then. I powered off both, powered up the modem, waited until it was fully up, and then powered up the router. It connected immediately and has been running fine since then. Once connected, I reviewed the internet (IPv4 and IPv6) status and settings. For Comcast, at least in this area, the IPv6 WAN connection type is Dynamic IP(SLAAC/DHCPv6) with DHCPv6 and prefix delegation selected. The LAN type is SLAAC+Stateless DHCP. I prefer to use Google's public DNS servers (8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4, 2001:4860:4860::8888, and 2001:4860:4860::8844), I've set those to override the Comcast-provided defaults. Performance --------------- I have 400 Mbps Comcast service with an Arris SB8200 modem. The modem indicates DOCSIS 3.1 service on the downstream side, but not on the upstream side. My laptop wireless NIC is an Intel AC7265 dual-band b/g/n/ac adapter. On a wired connection to the router, I get download speeds of 475+ Mbps. 480 would be the most I would expect given Comcast's typical practice of over-provisioning by 20%. On 5G wi-fi with 40 MHz channels, I get 475 Mbps next to the router and about 20' away in the same room. I get 355 Mbps in the next room, which is 73% faster than with the Archer C7. On 2.4G wi-fi with 20 MHz channels, I get 100 Mbs in the next room and 45 Mbs 2 floors up on the opposite side of the house. That's 25% and 80% faster than with my Archer C7. Those who have unexpectedly slow wi-fi performance and who have "Smart Connect" enabled may be connected via the 2.4 GHz band without realizing it. Another reason not to use that feature. I live in a crowded wi-fi neighborhood with people who think it's a good idea to use 40 or 80 MHz channels in the 2.4 GHz band. Don't do that. It makes all your neighbors' performance worse and doesn't really help yours.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: can i use two ax55s to make a mesh ?**
A: For future reference, just like Bigbill mentioned, you can Ethernet backhaul them and set one as AP. I even have this ax55 pro with a Deco mesh (I have CenturyLink fiber but never get up to my speed plan, losing 300mbps). I swapped out my CL modem/router to this ax55 pro, then plug in main Deco to 1Gbps port. From that Deco I have a switch that connects to 2 RJ45 wall jack where I plug in directly my 2 satellite Deco units. I set my Deco running in AP mode. Another thing, as my 3 Deco covers 3300sqft so I disabled the ax55 wireless signal to utilize Deco's seamless mesh (I don't want devices to hop in between ax55 signal and the Deco mesh, I only want transition within that mesh). I know I kinda trade the 4 antennas from ax55 for the mesh but I need the 2.5Gbps port for my CL internet feed. Now I get 850mbps when plugging in which I've never seen.

**Q: can i use this as an access point?**
A: Yes, the router has a dedicated Access Point Mode operation function that can be conveniently configured via the TP-Link Tether app or via a web browser.

**Q: Would this router help improve the performance of satellite internet (Hughesnet)?**
A: your internet signal controls your speed.
The router is strictly the distributor of that signal.
So if that signal is say 10mb, then the router can only distribute 10mbs, however the wifi6 signal throughout will be fast.
Routers are the middleware between modems and devices.
think of it like water from a hose, the nozzle is like the router. You can have a fine spray or a straight spray, but the amount of water is the same.

**Q: Is this router compatible with Ziply fiber?**
A: As long as your Internet source (e.g., modem, ONT, gateway) is connected directly to the router's Internet port using an Ethernet cable, it should work.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great little travel router that really delivers peace of mind
*by J***D on January 12, 2026*

Great little travel router that really delivers peace of mind. It’s compact, fast, and incredibly easy to use in hotels and on the road. The VPN setup is straightforward and once enabled, it automatically protects all your devices, which is a huge plus when connecting to public Wi-Fi. Performance has been solid and reliable, exactly what you want when traveling. The only thing I wish it had is a built-in internal battery. That would make it even more convenient in places like airports, especially during short waits when you’re trying to conserve laptop or phone battery and don’t want to plug in yet another device. Overall, a very well-designed travel router that does what it promises and does it well.
