REVIEW DAN SETUP AWAL ROUTER TP LINK AX1500 WIFI 6 ARCHER AX12 [PART 2]

Summary

In this video, the speaker reviews the TP-Link AX 1500 (AX12) Wi-Fi 6 router, discussing the process of troubleshooting its connection speeds. Initially, the router struggled with speeds under 100 Mbps due to connecting to the 2.4 GHz band. After restarting the router, it switched to the 5 GHz band, improving the speed to 109-120 Mbps. The speaker demonstrates how the router automatically selects between 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz based on device capabilities, providing a more stable connection. The review highlights the router’s strong performance, especially for environments with multiple devices.

Takeaways

Q & A

What is the model of the router being reviewed in the video?

The router being reviewed is the TP-Link AX1500, specifically the ARSER AX12 model.

What was the issue with the internet speed in the previous video?

In the previous video, the internet speed was not reaching 100 Mbps, and it was discovered that the connection was still using the 2.4 GHz frequency instead of the 5 GHz frequency.

What setting was used to manage the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequencies?

The 'Smart Connect' feature was enabled, which automatically switches between 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequencies without showing separate names for each band.

How did the user resolve the issue with the 2.4 GHz connection?

The user restarted the router, which allowed the connection to switch to the 5 GHz frequency, improving the speed.

What was the speed test result after the router was restarted?

After restarting the router, the internet speed improved, with download speeds ranging between 109 to 120 Mbps and upload speeds around 31.64 Mbps.

How did the router's speed compare to the 'Indie Home' router?

The TP-Link AX1500 router showed stable speeds around 109 Mbps, which was comparable to the 'Indie Home' router's speeds, though the 'Indie Home' router's speeds were sometimes unstable, fluctuating between 80 to 90 Mbps.

What is the significance of the network map feature in the router settings?

The network map feature allows users to see which devices are connected to the router and to check whether the devices are using the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz frequency.

How does the router handle devices that support only 2.4 GHz?

Devices that only support the 2.4 GHz frequency will automatically connect to the 2.4 GHz band, even when Smart Connect is enabled.

What troubleshooting step did the user take to resolve the connection issue?

The user restarted the router to fix the issue, which allowed the router to automatically connect to the 5 GHz band, thus improving the connection speed.

What was the speed of the connection before the router was restarted?

Before the restart, the connection speed was around 50 Mbps, which was likely due to the device being connected to the 2.4 GHz band instead of the 5 GHz band.
