What we like about it: The AX90 did extremely well in our tests, coming close to the more expensive NETGEAR Nighthawk RAX200. Eventually, their speeds matched at around 90 feet, so the AX90 is a better bargain if you don’t need all the fanciness the RAX200 offers. We didn’t experience any issues during our video streaming test either, which is great news.

What we wish it did better: TP-Link should provide all available settings and features in the web interface. As is, TP-Link limits antivirus and some parental controls to the Tether app, and a HomeShield Pro subscription costs $5.99 per month (or $54.99 per year).

Why do we recommend it? The AX90 is a good pick if you want lots of speed at long range but don’t want to pay over $400. It’s ready for multigig internet too, but most devices won’t see multigit wireless speeds.
