Best Routers

The Best – Have a few around the house and is a fantastic product. 10 years and counting and they just keep on ticking. User interface can be a bit… Read more

overwhelming for a newbie but you'll be right. AiMesh works great. NBN FTTP no dramas and Wi-Fi multiple devices just fine. Good app for parental control.

Very helpful technical support team. TINECIA Nong. She helped me out with the internet connection to my modem. Show details

Overall the product works well, though I have had intermittent connection issues. However, after trying all the troubleshooting I could on my own,… Read more

after 20 mins with Lauren over the phone everything worked perfectly and I've had no issues since. Lauren was patient and effective even through difficulties on my end.

Very Good Modem / Router – Purchased the TP-Link AC1600 Archer VR600v as the mid range recommendation of my new ISP. Set up was very easy and painless. The speed of my "wired"… Read more

connection is great and the WI-FI range and speed is also excellent. Stability of the modem /router also appears to be very good. The only criticism that I have is that the bottom of the unit gets extremely hot (where the info plate is) and as a result, the wooden counter that I placed it on also becomes very warm, resulting in extremely poor heat dispersion. It would appear that the unit's "legs" are not high enough to dissipate the heat effectively. After raising the units height by placing several self adhesive chair leg pads under the legs of the unit, the heat dispersion is much better and the unit is less hot. If it was not for the heat issue, I would have rated it 5 stars.

I was having a bit of difficulty trying to set up my new router. Mirei was super helpful. She walked me through set by step in detail. By the end of… Read more

Great product. I was having issues connecting it to my new NBN service and so I rang TP link support and got thinks working real fast. I spoke with a… Read more

woman named Hely and she was extremely helpful and talked me through the steps with great clarity. Highly recommend!

I was recommend by a friend to purchase this Router due to the speed, price and ease of connectivity, however it wasn’t connecting to the internet… Read more

and after following the various steps to resolve, I was unsuccessful. My ISP couldn’t fix. I then contacted TP-link and had the pleasure of speaking with Mirei who was very professional resolving the issues quickly and patiently. No more buffering and a clearer picture from my NBN FTTH Ultra Fast Broadband Model is Archer AX53

Long Life – I've had this router for over 6 years now, with three ISP's and its never missed a beat. Very occasionally [every 3 months or so] I note a slow down… Read more

and do a reboot. Love the simple GUI and the auto firmware update. I have a large single level home and WIFI is available everywhere and to my outside cameras. Was going to update recently but decided I'd wait until this gives up the ghost.

Ok product but sign can drop out at times – Product does the job well but sometimes it randomly drops out which can be frustrating. The TP Link hotline is helpful though in troubleshooting issues.

Good but not that good – After my last modem died in a thunder storm, I searched for a mid range/priced Vdsl/Adsl modem router. I settled on the TP-Link Archer VR900. Easy… Read more

setup and has many features and is value for money. But I am disappointed that the WiFi range was not as strong as I hopped in fact my old Netgear modem had a better range. Still I am happy with my purchase. 2years old now and still going strong

Challenging installation make easier thanks to Novia – I recently had a tricky time setting up my new TP-Link AC2100 modem router, and my ISP was unable to assist. Thankfully, I got in touch with Novia… Read more

Haung from TP-Link technical support. She was incredibly knowledgeable, patient and helpful throughout the entire process. Novia guided me step-by-step, making what seemed like a daunting task much easier. Her professionalism and dedication made all the difference, and I couldn’t have done it without her assistance. Thank you, Novia, for your excellent support!

Affordably Good – There are 3 things to look for in a router: 1. Signal - strength and stability are the two main factors in terms of signal. You need a router with… Read more

stable signal strength and consistent coverage.

2. Ease of use - you don't want to think too hard when configuring a router. A router should be easy to setup and its management/maintenance should be direct and straightforward.

3. Security - can't emphasize more on this one because you want to avoid being eavesdropped.

And also, price tag is another factor to consider.

TP-LINK TD-W8960N has all these factors in one device.

The worst modem you could ever purchase – Purchased this product and told by salesperson that the range would be better than the modem Dodo provided. It is not. The so called crappy Dodo… Read more

modem gave me signal in the back yard with this one it's gone. Thie range for this item is around 5 metres. The modem was placed in the exact same spot. I would NOT recommend this product to anyone. Update. It's worse than I thought had to reconnect old modem to get a reliable connection to all devices. Feel free to message me for more info. Do NOT waste your money on this product. Another update. Even with a booster it does not work properly. Its best function is being put in the bin. Total rubbish.

Brilliant service and product quality – Order placed on Sunday and was promptly packed and sent before midday on Monday. Order arrived from interstate on Tuesday afternoon with express post. Thank you for actioning my order so quickly for speedy delivery. Great service Show details

Good during the day but at night it sucks – The speed this has during the day is fine, it's nice and does what it's meant to. But as soon as somebody else starts to use the internet or it's dark out it totally falls flat. Other then that I'm perfectly content with this. Show details

Asus routers: Trouble free networking – Every Asus router has been a great experience and this one is no exception. People don't realise how good Asus routers are until they own one. … Read more

Pro's Asus continuously update the firmware so if there's a bug it soon gets fixed. -8 LAN ports: ideal for anyone with more than 4 ethernet devices -Wifi 6 (AX) connectivity -Exceptional range: We can see the router 72 metres away at a friends place going through multiple walls and 2 other houses -Surprisingly fast wifi 5 speeds close to the router i.e. >350 Mb/s Chromecast/Google streamer -Reasonable speeds when a further away e.g. ~60 Mb/s on Wifi 5 ~20 m away, at the far end of a garage at the far end of the property, going through brick walls, tin roof, filing cabinets, etc... -Lots of features e.g. Mesh & ability to pass through multiple IP addresses (we run 2 VOIP lines Optus & Vonex) -Rock solid reliability: Zero crashes. No need to regularly reboot. -Good longevity (never had a router fail) -Works straight out of the box -Passing through IP addresses is fairly easy -Advanced settings are fairly easy to find, use and access -User friendly graphical interface

Con's -Wifi 6 (Wifi 7 would be nice) -1 Gb/s ethernet: If you have Gigabit internet or move data around at high speeds this may be too slow

Bought this router for $350 (1 year old)... it was $516 new. Overall a great purchase

:-)

Amazing Support Team – Cassiel was the most amazing helper she stayed calm, informative and patient with me as I learnt how to configure my router. She taught me a lot today and I appreciate her patience.

Do not buy this device – I've had problems since I purchased this in June 2020. Early issues were a general lack of assistance from Amplify support. A simple resolution in… Read more

the end took three weeks to resolve due to support being North America based and only over email. If you never touch this product and don't make any configuration updates then it is stable. Recently I've relocated the router to a more appropriate location and have had nothing but problems since. The issue is mainly with the afi-mesh units. The handshaking between these and the AmpliFi is so poor that it continuously force the Amplify to reboot and the only way to fix this is to factory reset the afi-mesh to disconnect them from the AmpliFi. The problem is to bring these back online when apply fixes, you need to factory reset the AmpliFi. This is a product that can't even get the basics right and should be avoided.

It works, but – Drops out and have to reboot to get it to work. Next time I purchase something like this, I'll check out firmware updates. Still being sold today,… Read more

nothing since 2018. UI on the router website is terrible, can't send logs anywhere or do anything reasonable with it. WiFi coverage is really bad as well, my Bluetooth headphones have more range. I had a Netgear router before this that died due to lighting...I miss that router.

Faulty WiFi, unusable – Easy to set up and use, with decent range for 2.4Ghz and good WiFi speed. But after a few months the WiFi began to suffer errors where it would be… Read more

"connected" but without internet. Wired devices on the same router would continue to work fine. Power cycling the router would see it working fine again for a couple of days. This irregular operation behavior worsened over time and eventually meant that I had problems even trying to use connected devices through Google Home like Spotify connect. After much frustration, I replaced the Asus with a decent Netgear RAX200 and it's been flawless. On the basis of this experience, I could not recommend this device to anyone.

I bought one of these for home use. My Lefant robot vacuum would not connect to it so I had to set up an old ASUS router as a Wireless Access Point.… Read more

That worked. However I have experience frequent drop outs with the DECO and have to switch between networks to try to get internet. Rebooting takes a solid 6 minutes or more. I've given up on it and bought a pure ASUS router, no modem. Thought I'd set the Deco up as a Bridge. Can't be done. You can't modify any settings from a computer connection. There is no Bridge mode available in the app and no work around on the Deco. It's pathetic. It has frustrated me so much I'll never buy another TP-Link device. Who makes such garbage that you can't do basic things with? For supposed premium product that isn't cheap it's a 100% fail from me.

I did have problems initially with older devices and printers (we have 2) in the end I created a 5mhz and a 2mhz network. This solved all the… Read more

problems, the printers connected to the 2mhz network and older devices while the new devices run on 160mhz wide channel that I was able to set away from all the neighbours (and we have about 20 competing networks) so we now have lightning fast wifi 6 running as fast as it can I believe.

internet I'll just get another the vr2100. Great it works but 4 days later all settings lost doesn't show up won't connect after I disconnect DSL to phone port to move it. Once. Doesn't make any sense. Yes updates drivers, everything, more hours spent....nup. and they have no idea what's going on either. Nightmare never do it it's not worth the risk

Works great, good user interface – A while back, our TG-789 NBN modem/router started playing up. It would slow down and disconnect, and seemed to be overheating. On a hunch, I… Read more

figured that it was having trouble with the mushrooming number of gizmos and gadgets on our home network. Apart from computers, there are phones, tablets, printers, blu ray player, on and on. And I've also been playing with Raspberry PIs as well.

Cut a long story short, I bought the Synology RT2600ac router because I previously had a Synology NAS. The TG-789 is still the NBN modem, but it's Wi-Fi network is off, and the only thing that connects to it is the RT2600ac, which handles wired and wireless networking for the whole house. After setting up the RT2600ac, the TG-789 stopped misbehaving. (Could have been coincidence? Who knows.)

Now I'm not "into" routers. I'm sure there are reviews on here from people that are. I just want them to work. The RT2600AC does that, very well. Wi-Fi speeds are fast and we have no coverage or dropout problems in our house. The user interface is a "desktop" type of interface like their NAS'es, and to find it you just type router.synology.com into a web browser (I assume it downloads some Javascript from Synology which then finds the address of the router on your own network). The interface allows me to see what devices are connected and monitor their traffic level.

And you can set it to auto-update itself, which is important these days.

So, five stars - good performance, trouble-free and easy to use (for a router).

Thanks to her we finally have wifi again after a very long time.

Excellent WiFi speeds – Upgraded from nbn50 to nbn100. Did not get vastly different speeds, when ethernet connected had 105Mbs (always use WiFi). With some searching that… Read more

basic router supplied by IP does not cut it. The Asus seemed to be low cost for smaller home, and packed with features, free firmware update+trend security for life of router+more. Easy setup(though I did need a little help from Asus Support, very good). Concurrent use of 2.4Ghz+5Ghz. 5Ghz for TV+Tablets achieving 105Mbs consistency, and 75Mbs at 30m outside. 2.4Ghz good for mobie phones, printer, Google home, smart lights etc. Using for 6 weeks solid performance. Note: If updating firmware on WiFi, place your device close to the router, as specified in Setup. Very happy with purchase from Amazon and support from Asus.

I don't have anything to compare it to but its been great for years – I have been using this router for years. I have no real tech experience and I've never really used another so I don't have much to compare it to but… Read more

it has been serving me well. Also the TP link tech support staff are very patient with me. I am currently having some speed issues but I don't know know what the source of those is, could be my internet providers.

Great Customer Seevice – Got my product working with Cassiel’s help. She was extremely patient and helpful. Please give this girl a raise. Thank you. Show details
