![]() ![]() Remember with such high speeds on offer running Internet speed tests e.g. In the video review I completely omitted 2.4Ghz testing results so they are here in the written review. It’s a showpiece with a price tag to match and as such people are going to want an expensive piece of hardware that is going to stand out. But I liked this because I understand why TP-Link has gone this way with the product. Personally, I’m not a fan of red and black. The aesthetic is also something you’re going to love or hate. ![]() All routers are capable of gaming it’s just that when you put gaming on the box it should have features that actually improve gaming performance and not just be marketing material. I guess overall I’m just bothered by the gamer settings that don’t actually have a gaming impact or benefit. But when activated I noticed zero change in gaming, I still had my high latency moments, but that is also thanks to the 4G internet I’m currently forced to use. Regardless, “Game Accelerator” was turned off by default. This setting should not need a slider: it’s not like there is ever a situation where high latency is ever a good thing, right? Randomly, the Archer AX11000 has a new “Game Accelerator” setting supposedly reduces lag when you turn it on, but that applies it to the whole network, instead of individual clients, so why is it even a thing? The “Game Diagnostic” is nothing more than a general ping test and standard traceroute tool. Similarly, the support for Alexa voice command is now “Game Assistant,” though it has nothing to do with gaming whatsoever. This had the best outcome for me overall. My recommendation is that you use the custom setting in the advanced menu to create custom priorities for certain types of internet traffic. Though, being fair, Wi-Fi 6 technology will help alleviate most of these issues. It is, but the problem with QoS is it detects for all devices on the network so the type of traffic that your QoS setting is set to look for will take priority over the whole network and the more you have the more they will conflict for the priority. Now that doesn’t mean QoS isn’t a gaming feature. It’s just not here, it’s hiding in the Advanced menu. ![]() Now, we saw QoS earlier in software walkthrough so we know it’s here. No such thing here.įor example, there’s a new section in the interface called “Game Center.” Within it, the “Game Protector” includes the Antivirus and Parental Control. Actual gaming routers run game-orientated firmware that, among other things, detects a game being launched and adjusts settings on the fly. The thorn in the crown is that TP-Link has followed suit with the AC5400X and called it a gaming router. I was impressed when I concluded that the Archer AX1000 could easily provide throughput and range for a high demand household, especially with content consumption, with the likes of Netflix and others really booming in recent years. Something I found when adding phones and a second gaming PC to the network. The hardware is top of its class, tri-band radios, adding a third channel for gaming consoles and the like, but really this is thanks to the DFS technology pushing users to vacant lanes to keep speeds high. Speaking of fly, the router is the best performer we’ve tested on the channel, which was to be expected. As soon as I found out the AX11000 was on the way, I got super excited! It’s been 3 years since we’ve seen a TP-Link product on the site! Time really does fly… The TP-Link Archer AX11000 is a behemoth Wi-Fi 6 router targeted straight at gamers and enthusiasts.
