Definitely spying on you!
What?!? Take it apart! Dont take it home 😂
Rossmann load of flux 😂
Hey Dave how cheap did you get this router ? I quickly googled the model number : TP-Link AX6000 and it gives me listing between 350€ and 390€.
It's by no means a cheap router.
A good score if you managed to get it for cheap.
Just make sure your change your SSID and also put a strong password on it.
I would budget as much or more for the USBC as for the device itself if I were sizing a supply for that. 48 watts sounds fair to me
From the angle at 8:03 it looks like it has a swastika on top haha.
Well, TP-Link stuff is IMHO fine – and damn cheap. But I have quite some not-so-good experience regarding stability and reliability. Might be totally fine for private use but I wouldn't put it in remote places or even commercial / industrial use.
TP link are the worst. Some of their products offer "lifetime support". When they fail, the do not honor it. Their commercial switches constantly fail.
Total garbage.
I think it uses broadcom chips hinted by the exposed broadcom jobby. Bcm4908 i read somewhere. I have the the router myself laying around doing nothing so i might hook into the serial port thats the 4 pads on the pcb and see what the bootloader says and if it comfirms its the 4908 cpu. I think it runs linux kernel <5.xxx
Does it do POE (using the extra power)?
Ddwrt will likely have all the info you need.
It is a bit out dated. Probably should have gotten the next model up. The BE900 or whatever
Wifi7 should slap the tits off of wifi6
4A my arse 😂
The radiation will be terrible! Time to put on your Tin Foil hat!
6:10 This is bluetooth IC CYW20704
I have that exact router, it's been working well.
Can you test how far the signal reach?
Discombobulating the Octotron! This thing is so packed and power-hungry I might even call it Fusion Octotron.
Looks like there's still no OpenWrt for this thing, meh.
I know Dave has already…..but for others, update the firmware if you haven’t already, this is a known vulnerable router, old firmware subject to serious security issues.
Log entry from my router = Snort SID 1:61711 = SERVER-WEBAPP TP-Link Archer Router command injection attempt. This rule looks for command injection metacharacters sent to the TP-Link Archer router product in the request parameter "country".
I like TP-LINK. It just works several years, and then you just buy newer faster one.
I've noticed that the high-spec routers with Broadcom chipsets are loaded with huge heat sinks and use power supplies several multiples of wattage higher than Qualcom/Atheros based units (which need scant heatsinking).
While this suggests QCA based routers are much more power efficient, I've had much better wireless performance with the Broadcom based units, and always choose these as a result.
The very important caveat with running a Broadcom unit is you absolutely must rig up a continuous cooling fan solution or the router will only last a year or two before the silicon starts going bad and it'll start doing weird things before eventually failing completely. I use a pair of very quiet ball bearing 80mm (or 92mm maybe) fans sold at amz by coooler guyz that draw 5v power out of the USB port. With that setup it'll run 5+yrs.
Gaming through Wi-fi is not very smart.
The FCC has teardown photos. I posted the link but my comment got modded/deleted i guess. Just google it by model number.
We actually just got fiber here in NW Oklahoma.. So I switched over.. Speeds went from the usual 50M to 80M up to 290M now. 🙂 I'm sure happy with it so far. Much much faster speeds and it hasn't cut out once yet.. where as my previous cable internet would throttle down sometimes as low as 5M or 10M.. and seemed to go down completely at least once per month; for 30 min or so. Not to mention that I was paying 150 per month before- for ONLY cable internet (supposedly "up to 1gb- but it rarely got up to 100M) — to now (for fiber) it's 65 per month– the first 6months is half price– and free insulation.. so ended up being 37 per month (somehow).. plus 10 dollars off if I set up recurring payments.. lol.. So it's actually only $26 per month right now for the first 6months.. Then it jups up to 55.. So much cheaper, with insanely better speeds. I have to say: if you can get fiber internet to your house– DO IT
Great video and teardown. I actually have this router at home. It's a good wifi 6 device. I have a hard drive attached to the USB port and the speed is fast enough. It was expensive, I wanted one with 8 Ethernet ports,and this one was a new model at that moment.
Nice electric pillow for a cold Sydney night! 48 Watts, some in heat, some in RF radiation just the perfect play all night in your dreams edition. Louis is now dumping his existing stock of flux, his 3 cats keep him warm in Austin town!
I bought this router 4 years ago. I found it quite reliable and able to handle many devices. Nice pick!
Rouder….😁
