Certified Refurbished TP-Link Archer AX20 AX1800 Smart Dual-Band Wi-Fi 6 Router (Renewed)

Performance is good (500 Mbps at about 30 feet from the router, over 600 next to it on an 800 Mbps connection). While not as fast as the netgear router it replaced, I can enable WiFi 6 features without killing off WiFi 802.11ac clients. Setup was easy and painless using the web interface (I just run it as an access point as I have a dedicated router.Also, it doesn't force you to login to any sort of id. Yes, it does prompt you to login to your tp-link account, but you can just simply close the pop-up and be about your business.I like that it runs OpenWRT. Condition wasn't as pristine as some of the others mentioned (minor scuffs on the top of the unit), but for the price this is a great buy.

First of all its a great router all around. Works well and has what you need. Good coverage, quality construction, and shows up like its brand new. Like many routers. *BUT* here is what you really want!!!! The software!! You are probably buying a router because you want to get a better connection to the internet for some reason or another. In my case it was laggy teams calls. This little thing will help with that pain point more because of setup than just fast hardware. First it has the gigabit ports you need. Then it has a nice app to set it up. Super Easy. But what really what will help your connection is the QoS settings. Find out what your internet is rated for. I have crappy spectrum so its 600 down and 20 up (yeah.... that's not a misprint.... 20... because my "area needs an upgrade"). My teams calls were lagging not because of anything other than the ability to get that traffic out over all the other traffic. Setup QoS with the accurate settings for your connection. Add the priority devices (like your work laptop doing teams) and you will absolutely be amazed at the difference with this router. Proper setup of QoS and software and less hardware. ALL the advanced in home Wi-Fi connection in the world cant beat the bottleneck of that upload speed. But with this router managing the traffic.... I can have a great day of video calls and keep working remote. Worth. Every. Penny.

The router was in excellent condition, looked new. Box was simple, with no setup instructions. I spent more time looking online for the quick start guide than it took to setup the router. After finding the quick start guide setup was simple using the Tether app. I've been using the router for over a month and I'm very pleased with its performance. It fixed a setup problem I was having with a Blink Sync 2 module, and more than doubled the connection speed of a Roku 4K streaming device. Signal strength is strong throughout my 2600 sf house and large yard. Actual power usage is only about 6 watts.

This just arrive tonight and I set it up right away. It's renewed so it didn't come with any of the instructions or original bow or any extra CAT5 cables but, it's half the price of new so, whatever. There was a firmware update as soon as I turned it on.I replaced a TP-Link Archer C7 AC1750 that seemed to be a little slow at times and couldn't hold steady speed or signal in my apartment. Well, it was a good replacement choice because so far this thing is hitting 50Mbps higher downloads than my ISP advertised speed. That is not an exaggeration and I couldn't be happier with it!I knocked off one star only because I wish the router interface had more options for customization. It's fairly limited but does provide control over most everything the majority of users would want. I also would prefer it had replaceable antennas, these are not removable.The speed is great and the range seems fine for my 850sqft apartment. The WiFi signal is strong throughout the space that I have. My son's room is at the opposite end of the apartment from the router. My studio/office runs lots of electronic equipment 24/7 and is between the router signal and his room but his signal is still solid!I highly recommend this router, especially at this price!

Finally decided I had had enough of Spectrums wi-fi when they sent me their new "Advanced Wi-Fi" router, where "Advanced" means they lock away the customers' ability to make even the simplest of changes to wi-fi settings. No control over anything, and forget about any IOT devices you might want to use. I took one look at the price on this refurbished TP-Link Archer AX20 AX1800 Smart Dual-Band Wi-Fi 6 Router and hit the Buy Now button. No sign its refurbished, arrived packaged as if new, setup was a breeze, and the performance is outstanding. For the first time ever I get strong, clear signal throughout my apartment, from the front porch to the back deck and in every room, nook, and cranny in between. Bye-bye "advanced" Spectrum wi-fi, the speeds on this Archer AX20 really fly!

Turning Wifi Off doesn't actually stop the EMF output. it continues to produce high EMF despite the LED indicating no wifi. The antenna are not removable. Measured 15 mA/m when on, and 1.5mA/m upon tearing the antenna out, and 0.15 mA/m as background level.

I replaced an older dual band router that has worked well for many years. I was hoping to improve my wireless speed which was about 100 mbps up and down stream (Wireless G). Now, using this router and WiFi 6, the speed has more than doubled. The up/down speed might now be more of a limit by my internet service than the router's WiFi capability. I was slightly hesitant in ordering a refurbished device, but the router looks and operates just like a new one, so I am very pleased.

This 'Refurbished Very Good' router is like new and still had the plastic on it.Very easy set up. The only change I made was toI seperate the 2.4 and 5ghz bands. It was up and running pronto!
