Overall I am very happy with this router. It has much better coverage than any router I had before. It has very good performance, with 50+ devices connected I can see there is an average 40% CPU utilization which suggests there is plenty of room to grow. The router can be managed both via Web UI and via a very polished App for smartphones. It is loaded, from basic QOS and SPI firewall, to some very convenient features like OneMesh, OpenVPN, Dynamic DNS and USB3. I connected an USB flash drive and in no time I had a network shared drive and FTP server with transfer speeds of 10+Mbps.I like that you can generate a QR 'scan to connect' code to share your network settings or to give easy guest Wifi access.One thing I really love is that you can give a custom name to every device connected to your router and you can also receive push notifications if any new device connects to your router. This combined with an improved UI make it very easy to monitor who and what is connected to your router at any time and the best part of it is that this is all part of the basic functionality available with the router.It offers also some optional features under a subscription that you get to trial for 30 days which I would have found very valuable when my kids were younger, for example Parental Controls with detailed traffic activity reports.You do not need the subscription to manage this router. From what I can tell you get all the functionality you would expect plus much more without the optional subscription, the only exception is DoS protection to stop Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks. This was a standard feature in my previous routers, but I am not sure I will ever really miss it.Overall I find this is the best router I ever owned and a great Wifi6 upgrade for my home network.

Well maybe a little. I owned a TP-Link Archer C9 for about three years and needed an upgrade. I really do like the AX55 router. First I bought an AX3000 then realized TP-LInk just came out with the AX55. So I bought the upgrade and returned the first unit actually saving $10 overall. The AX55 has so much more tech than the AX3000 including Wifi6, USB3.0, HomesSield network monitoring, and better design for heat management.I notice the following differences between the AX3000 and AX55: Much better battery life on my S10 Galaxy Note (likely an extra hour per day) likely due to Target Wait Time (TWT) tech with Wifi6, network file transfers are much, much faster which is important to me as a photographer working with 43mb files all day long.My MSI laptop luckily has Wifi6 as well so I'm in super happy I discovered this new version. Make sure you use 20AX3000 for $20 off while it lasts. Hell of a deal and I can add One Mesh if/when needed for cheap.
