Excellent router, the Tri Band TP Link Archer AXE75 gets five stars from me, it improved signal range and stability throughout my 2 store 3 Bedroom house so here is what I have done:I did received this nice router Archer AXE75 and connected it with the included Ethernet CAT 5E cable to my Virgin Hub 3.0 router, having a Virgin M500 broadband service available on my property. If you have 1Gb broadband you will need a Ethernet 6 or 6E cable instead, to have full speed benefit.It is all placed in my ground floor Living Room.I did set it up in AP mode (ACCESS POINT), using the Tether android App on my Samsung S23 phone. I chose the AP mode because I still want my Virgin router to provide the security. TP link is a chinese company and is about to be banned in USA for obvious reasons.I did renamed all THREE bands (2.4, 5 and 6GHz) with the SAME SSID name and password I used to have on my Virgin HUB 3.0 router. I switched OFF my Virgin router WiFi on both bands 2.4 and 5Ghz.I did move all the ethernet cables connected to my Virgin Hub to the new TPlink Archer AXE75 router so now all the networked devices throughout my property can be seen and communicate, only few of them I had to briefly manually power reset to get their IP or MAC address sorted automately.My old TP link powerline adapter 8010P is now connected physically to the Archer Router too, and its 8630p powerline extenders in the rooms work great, for good measure I did reboot them, their speed is the same as there are electrical wire limitations and they only give maximum 170mb/s download speeds and the maximum of 50mb/s upload. I switched all their wifi bands OFF (2.4 and 5 Ghz) in all rooms, because now the main new access point router Archer AXE75 has a superb wifi signal range, I get in the furthest bedroom on 1st floor about 450mb/s download speeds. I still use these wall powerline extenders to provide wired signal to barious TVs, soundbars and other devices because the wired signal is always more stable and I dont need these devices to get the maximum downloads speeds provided by the router itself anyway.There is just one small bedroom where the wifi upload speed seems to be inconsistent over wifi so I will run an Ethernet cable there from the new router to connect my son PS5 Pro as this PS5 does not have a powerfull WIFI reception antenna.I have now a beautifull stable Wifi 6E connection on my phone because it supports it, and get on the room above same MAXIMUM speeds of 560mb/s download and 54mb/s upload on the Bedroom above.Very happy overall. I did set up a Guest Network and been able to put Qos Limitation on those bands so the guest won't suck dry the signal strength with their devices.I did play with identifying my network devices/clients on the Tether App and renamed them properly so I know now what is what.I highly recommend this product.

This fixed all of our issues in the home. No signal issues and extremely strong in each area. I've wanted to swap to modem only mode for a while so having done this I'm very surprised how easy this was and the the tether app interface helps and is so self explanatory. I no longer need my wifi extenders in the house which is a shame but I can now sell these on. We've now future proofed the house for when we get full fibre in our area so this is exciting. We have around 20 devices connected and this doesn't even break a sweat!

I had the C50 (v6) firmare version 0.9.1 0.2 v0001.0 Build 210111 Rel.37983n(4555) and just replaced it with an Archer A7 as I stupidly didn't notice the ports on the C50 were 10/100mbit.My intention was to use the C50 as an access point. The setup was Virgin SuperHub 3 with an ethernet cable running from that into my loft, then use the C50 as an access point. This proved to be painful. I could not for the life of me get the C50 to work in "access point" mode with the ethernet cable going from a LAN port of my virgin router into the WAN port of the C50. My latop could connect to the C50 but had no internet and couldn't access the virgin router on 192.168.0.1.How I ended up getting this to work as an access point was as follows:Getting everything ready===================1. Unplug all ethernet cables from the C50 – anything in the WAN port or LAN ports, take all of them out2. Factory reset your C50 (hold in the reset button for at least 2 seconds)3. You will need to connect to the C50 from your computer – either use Ethernet (in which case you would connect your computer to a LAN port on the C50, or WiFi). I’ll use WiFi4. I make sure my WiFi connection is set to obtain an IP address and DNS automatically. You can follow similar steps for your ethernet adapter if you do not plan to connect to the C50 using WiFI:a. Go to Control Panel -> Network and Internet -> Network Connectionsb. Right click on my WiFi adapter and select Properties:c. Select “Internet Protocol Version (TCP/IPv4) and select Propertiesd. Ensure you are set to obtain IP address and DNS automatically:e. Press OK then press Close on the WiFi adapter properties windowWork out out which IP address to give to the C50======================================We need to work out the IP address range our main router uses for DHCP. We then need to work out an IP address outside of that range that we can assign to the C50 later in the process. The instructions here will be specific to your main router. In my case, my main router is a Virgin SuperHub 3.5. Connect to your main router via ethernet or WiFi and sign into the admin page (in the case of a Virgin SuperHub 3, I go to http://192.168.0.1)6. Find the section for your main router’s DHCP settings to see the range of IP addresses it will assign7. With the information on that page on my virgin super hub, and the fact I knew the ip address for the main router (i.e. the virgin one), I now know:a. My virgin router uses 192.168.0.1 – I definitely don’t want the C50 using thatb. My virgin router will also assign IP addresses in the range 192.168.0.10 -> 192.168.0.254 via DHCPc. I want to give the C50 something that won’t be used by the virgin router so I’ll pick anything from 192.168.0.2 -> 192.168.0.9 as those IPs won’t be used by the virgin router8. From step 7, I’ll just pick 192.168.0.2Setting up the C50===============I now disconnect from the main router and connect to the C50. In my case, I’m using WiFi.9. Ensure you have connected to the C50 via WiFi (or ethernet)10. Navigate to http://tplinkwifi.net/ in your browser to go to the C50 admin console. Note that if this link does not work, you can:a. Open a command promptb. Run “ipconfig”c. Take note of the Default Gateway valued. Enter that http://<default-gateway-value> into your browser. In my case http://192.168.0.111. Since you have performed a factory reset, the admin page will ask you to enter a new username and password, so do that and press Start12. Go to Operation Mode and ensure Wireless Router is selected – DO NOT select Access Point which I know seems counter intuitive. You shouldn’t have to press Save here as it will already be set to Wireless Router assuming you had followed the instructions to factory reset the C5013. Select Network -> LAN. Enter your IP address you calculated back in step 8. In my case, I chose 192.168.0.2. The subnet mask needed for that IP is 255.255.255.0 so I enter those values and press save14. I then need to wait for the C50 to reboot15. Once it has rebooted, ensure I am connected to it via WiFi (or Ethernet) and browse to the admin page using the http://tplinkwifi.net link or the IP address I just set in step 13. Log in.16. Go to DHCP -> DHCP Settings17. Set the “DHCP Server” value to Disable:18. Press Save. Note that this does not seem to reboot the C50 automatically. You should reboot now by selecting System Tools -> Reboot -> Reboot button19. Once the C50 has rebooted, connect to the admin page again and login20. To recap, we should now have:a. Operation Mode -> Wireless Routerb. Network -> LAN -> IP Address/Subnet Mask -> Appropriate values based on step 8c. DHCP -> DHCP Settings -> DHCP Server -> Disable21. Now we are ready to connect the C50 to our main router. Ensure one end of the ethernet cable is a LAN port of the main router and the other end is in the LAN port of the C50 (NOT the WAN port).22. If you now go to status, you should see a connecttion listed under the Ethernet section23. At this point, my laptop is connected to the C50 via WiFi but Windows 10 is still showing no internet. I simply disconnected my WiFi adapter from the C50 then connected again and voila – everything is working fine. If I connect to 192.168.0.1 in a browser, I see my Virgin SuperHub settings. 192.168.0.2 connects me to the C50 settings.I did not have to do this with the Archer A7. With that it was as simple as putting the A7 into access point mode and connecting an ethernet cable from a LAN port on my virgin hub to the WAN port of the A7.

Amazing product, quick set up and no issuesYou will need the login from your internet provider but BT for example is generic and can be found online.Higher speed than the BT smart hub 2, and the option to split into tribands which is so great.

Amazing router blistering speed s great wide range WI FI connections to multiple devices with ease very easy to set up and use

Easy to setup and great reach through the house. For context, its a 3 bed terrace.
