Better than expected...!
I installed this router behind my Wingo Modem-Router and my max Download-speed doubled without changing my (old) USB Wlan stick. It is the best upgrade I did in many years!
Pro
- Very Fast
- Doubled my download-speed at home
- Much faster loading a website
- Downloading- and uploading-speed from PC to NAS tripled and is constant, doesn't break off anymore
- Netflix, no more buffering before start, instantaneously starts
- Youtube videos starts instantaneously
- incredible the speed increase over my old modem/router
- I didn't change my WLAN sticks yet from my PC, so more speed-increase to be expected
I use the Archer AX 50 as an access point for WLAN in the basement of my house. Super device
The two networks 2.4G and 5G can be switched to Smart Connect.
This allows the same WLAN name (SSID) to be used for both frequencies.
The WLAN device, smartphone laptop can then independently switch to the fastest WLAN band for him.
I could buy the AX 50 in a promotion for Fr. 109.00. Sensational price for this super device.
Installation is simple and logical.
Very recommendable product.
I had to replace an old Wifi 4 access point that was getting on in years. The difference is incredible.

Well, I went for an almost 10 years old router to that one... so, Of course it seems really good.
I'm mostly using it for it's 1000mb in ethernet .... so I don't have much to say about the wifi part of it. It seems to have a lot of settings.
The 'simple' configuration seems simple enough, the "advance one" seems a little not advanced enough.
For example, the thing can't remember my PC host name. So I have to write the IP allocated to my PC for every routing rules, instead of just select my PC name in a drop down list. Sure it's not perfect but seems to work well enough.
I've first looked for a new router because my old one couldn't handle the upgrade I took for my internet.Pro
- easy to install
- default ssid is randomized
- independently set the power of 2.4G and 5G.
Contra
- Config seems a little simplistic but didn't need to use it yet
I am 100% satisfied with the device and would buy it again anytime.
Great WiFi 6 router, I can only recommend.
Price and performance is top and the operation with the app very easy.Already grown fond of....
Installation via APP must also be bubik for layman, whereas via browser there are more possibilities to finetune. The measured download speed (cnlab, 30sec average, receiver HP ENVY x360 Convertible, Internet from UPC 1 Gb):
Directly at the router: 900-920 Mb/s @5 GHz and 320-350 Mb/s @2.4 GHz.
Behind a brick wall 880-900 Mb/s (!).
Very satisfied with the product.
Handling of Digitec is perfect as usual.
