TP-Link TL-WR1502X Portable Router WiFi 6 AX1500Mbps, Mini Travel Router for Home & Travel, WiFi Router, VPN Router, Gigabit Ports, USB Port, Enjoy Network Anywhere, Type-C Power, Pocket-sized

Very good. After Virgin media speed increase bought to actually make use of that as Virgin Hub3 is useless didn't even notice a speed increase with that hub. Coverage is also much improved. Easy to set and use. Works well with my TP link extenders to create a mesh set up.

If you travel a lot, either with work, or with the family on holiday, this TP-Link TL-WR1502X Portable Router might just save your sanity. Before a family holiday, you can sit at home, with a cup of coffee and connect all the family devices, the phones, laptops, tablets, iPads, Steam Decks, portable printer etc. Then once you get to your destination, switching on the router will connect all the devices to a secure local network, the printer will see the laptop for example. Then all you need do is either plug the router in to the hotel ethernet port, or log in to the router's management page, scan the Wi-Fi networks, find the hotel guest network, connect the router, and viola, all your devices are now connected to the internet via the Portable Router. If you have not used a TP-Link device before, they have very intuitive menu interfaces. The one for the TL-WR1502X is particularly good, and even Muggles will be up and running in minutes. The other tech gobbledygook is handled by the router automatically. There are some really nice extra features offered by the TL-WR1502X. You can set up a router VPN (virtual private network), so if you were in a country that blocks say, Netflix, you can just swing your connection back to your home country, and enjoy all the entertainment accounts you have. You can even connect back in to your home network in your house, if you know what you are doing. So you could be on the far side of the Earth, but your devices all think they are back home. TP-Link also do an app called Tether. This app is very good, and lets you manage all your TP-Link devices, including the TL-WR1502X. You can do everything in Tether, from rebooting the device, to setting up your devices to either the 2.4Ghz or 5Ghz Wi-Fi channels, to maximise performance. You can even tell the router to give priority to the games consoles, if they are active. There are also all the usual parental controls, so internet connection can be time-limited to the children's devices, if you wish. And the beauty is, on your next family holiday, all you need do, is make one connection to the new hotel network/Wi-Fi, and you are up and running again. A good travel router like the TL-WR1502X is pretty much a vital necessity these days, for the travelling business person, or family holiday. Several YouTubers did full performance reviews of the TL-WR1502X. They found the radial signal strength to be good, and the router radiates a strong signal upwards. So, if you are renting a two-storey holiday house, the router is best placed centrally on the ground floor, for best coverage. The final feature, that might earn you some free drinks at the hotel bar, is the router offers a guest network feature. So, if you find yourself befriending the hotel neighbours, and they are not getting on well with the hotel Wi-Fi, you could set them up on a separate guest network from your travel router. The two networks will be completely separate from one another. Just make sure to get a free dinner out of it. Price versus performance versus features, the TL-WR1502X really is a no-brainer. Highly recommended.

Signal has much improved. Using it with Three SIM. Signal on 100% on 4G LTE.Download speed around 20Mbps, and upload around 15Mbps. These are the maximum I got! Maybe it's my location. However, this works well with online TV.Same SIM on a phone will get 10Mbps and 0.2Mbps upload, so clearly this router improves speed.Overall, easy to setup, plug and play. WiFi speed isn't great, I used another WiFi as AP plugged into this router.

Couldn't be happier with this device!As an IT Manager I was really pleased with the functionality of the advanced features as well as the optional extras. For non-IT users please understand that the optional extras are not required!It's a gorgeous unit, a mix of gloss and matt black, 4 aerieals that aren't oversized to look like they do more than they're actually doing. The power is a standard plug, no power brick inbetween the unit and the plug socket. The dept of the router means it fits on a nice slim table leaving room for other bits - picture to follow and will edit this bit out once uploaded.Setup is easy and very well guided, without intimidation, although it will try to get you to start a trial for optional extras you don't need, but they are good.I would recommend setting up the mobile app and adding the device so you can manage, if needed, without a computer. I would say it's almost on par with the Netgear Nighthawk app.Wifi range, strength and device distribution is incredible, down to being WIFI6, and I can't wait to renew my EoP devices to get the best out of the Ethernet ports.

I bought the AX5400 (AX73) because our Virgin hub 4 was terrible for wifi and because this looked a mean piece of kit with all it's antennas!We just switched the Virgin hub into "modem mode" and connected one cat8 network cable from it into the new AX5400. (Any cat5, cat6, etc cable is fine)Turned it on, logged into it, and it basically set itself up! VERY easy to get going.I now have wifi coverage across the entire house, which is a 4bed terrace with an extension.Before, we would lose all wifi in the furthest upstairs rooms and the extension so this is a significant improvement.We have a LOT of devices on our wifi, mamy phones, tablets, games consoles and amazon echo dots and all these are working flawlessly and with minimal effort.The AX5400 is definately the model to go for, don't bother with the lower models on this listing - it's definately worth paying that little extra to get this top model.It's very well ventilated and the lower models people complain get too hot or fail. There's no concerns with this one. I would recommend periodically wiping it for dust though because there are a LOT of tiny vent holes that look like they'd be more than happy to fill up with dust. But i'm quite happy to wipe it over from time to time.My speedtest results were pleasing.I went from 240-500MB/sec to results of upto 740MB/sec checked over a lan cabled computer on our 500MB/sec Virgin Fibre line so this was definately an improvement.Virgin hubs are terrible, they drop wifi connections, have pauses and lag delays when many devices are connected, and the range is terrible. The AX5400 is an easy solution. Definately consider one!
