I bought a TP-Link Dual-Band AX3000 Wi-Fi 6 Router Archer AX55 router (AX3000 is the box and all contents, AX55 is the WiFI router itself which is a bit confusing) and eventually set it up when I bought my MBP M4 Pro and have been using it for half a year or so.

Very solid so far but then again only like 8 months in use. WiFi 6 with my MBP M4 Pro is rather fast and I can copy to/from a file server (connected via Ethernet to the AX55) at USB-2 speed (120 MB/s or so). Did a Speediest and got 56 MB/s down 29 MB/s up which is a lot faster than before though I guess not max for my Fiber connection. 4ms ping which is great.

There is web admin which is easy enough to use. Manual is not too bad.

It's got the standard features. Internet Gateway with DHCP and port forwarding. Features I use:

• DHCP Server and give set IP address to my printer and server machines so I can find them by IP address if need be.
• NAT port forwarding to the server machine. It only forwards to an IP address hence the server has to have a set DHCP address that survives reboots.
• Dynamic DNS using TP-Link service provider. Then on my DNS records I set www2 to point to xyz.tp-link-dns.com or whatever. The xyz.tp-link-dns.com updates maybe up to an hour after IP address changes (which for Sonic only if there is a reboot).
• VPN Server. It supports several: OpenVPN, PPTP, L2TP/IPSec, WireGuard. I setup OpenVPN which doesn't give you much configurability compared to OpenVPN full but you can have guests access the home network only or home and Internet but on a separate network than DHCP server so accessing home network is not easy if you don't know the IP addresses.
• Reboot at a set time. I do once a week just in case.

Other interesting features which I don't use:

• You can have a HD attached for NAS or Time Machine.
• HomeShield is their monthly service with more scanning and white lists and so forth. Haven't really looked into this.
• EasyMesh to add more access points and connect them as one network.

I paid $70 on Black Friday Sale and it's definitely better than I expected. Love the VPN server (OpenVPN is not that easy to setup and costs money if you hav more than one client connecting). Dynamic DNS support also nice as I don't have to set it up on my server. Everything else I was getting from my trusty AirPort Time Capsule.

Overall very pleased with this product.
