Since there’s only one Multi-Gig port, there’s no way to experience a multi-Gigabit connection from an XE200 router. In all, this router is such as novelty that it deserves a separate post. First Quad-band router: Archer AXE300 (AXE16000) The system offers excellent coverage too. With only one set up, you’ll get an impressive 3,300 square feet of coverage, which is raised to 6,600 square feet with a second node. That’s more than much of the competition, which often offers between 2,000 and 2,500 square feet of range.

General Troubleshooting For DDNS on a TP-Link Wi-Fi Router, LTE Gateway Router, or Deco Router 05-31-2023 26593 In short, the XE200 is very thin on settings and features. But that can be good for folks who want a mesh that works for their Wi-Fi connection needs and not much else. TP-Link Deco XE200: Fast performance The support for multiple 10Gbps ports means the Archer AXE300 is an excellent standalone router for those with a Multi-Gig wired home or with an ultra-fast NAS server. The TP-Link Deco XE200, at this point in time, is a little overshadowed by TP-Link’s new Wi-Fi 7 routers — but it thankfully still offers a range of modern technologies at a cheaper price than TP-Link’s newest offerings.One particularly nice feature is the ability to route individual clients through a third-party VPN gateway. TP-Link’s implementation isn’t as versatile as Asus’ VPN Fusion tool. It only supports one server connection at once and only works with OpenVPN, PPTP and L2TP/IPSec servers, whereas the Asus system supports up to 16 connections and works with WireGuard. Still, the Deco’s VPN support will be fine for most people – it’s a definite plus point. In terms of Wi-Fi coverage, as a single unit, the XE200 showed an excellent range in my experience — similar to other high-end Wi-Fi 6 hardware. The second new router is the Archer AXE300 which comes with traditional antennas but manages to have some novelty of its own: It’s the first Quad-band router from TP-Link. (And the second on the market after the Netgear RBRE960.) It runs on a quad-core 1.7GHz CPU and supports TP-Link’s OneMesh right out of the box. But if you need a Wi-Fi system, it’s a better idea to get the new Deco XE75 instead. TP-Link opened up a firehose of router news on us this year for CES, some of which was in the more traditional, beefy single access point vein, and some of which advances the Deco line of mesh routers in several directions at once. There were so many announcements, in fact, that we’ll focus solely on the mesh systems here.

Still, it has most standard settings such as port forwarding, IP reservation, Dynamic DNS, and VPN (server and client), etc.My main complaint? The routers are relatively large. Routers can get decently large, and the Deco XE200 isn’t over-the-top — but you’ll still need to find a good place for it.
