Frequently Asked Questions
What does AX6600 tri-band mean, and how is the total bandwidth distributed across bands?
AX6600 designates the combined theoretical maximum across three bands: one 2.4GHz band at approximately 574Mbps and two 5GHz bands — one at ~574Mbps and the dedicated gaming band at ~4804Mbps. In practice, the high-speed 5GHz gaming band uses 160MHz channel width to achieve that 4804Mbps figure, which requires client devices that also support 160MHz channels. Without that client support, the band operates at reduced throughput.
This is listed as a "Renewed" unit — what does that mean for hardware reliability?
Renewed means the unit has been returned, inspected, repaired if necessary, and tested to function like new. Core hardware functionality is verified, but the unit may show cosmetic wear. Critical for a router: verify the renewal includes a firmware reset to factory defaults and that no prior configurations are retained. Renewed routers from reputable sellers perform equivalently to new units in reliability benchmarks; the risk is primarily cosmetic and in the absence of original retail packaging.
Does the Archer GX90 support Wi-Fi 6 on both 5GHz bands simultaneously?
Yes — the GX90 implements Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) across all three bands, including both 5GHz bands. This means OFDMA and MU-MIMO capabilities are available on each band, allowing multiple devices to share band capacity more efficiently than Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) configurations. The practical benefit is reduced congestion in environments with 20+ concurrent connected devices.
Does the GX90 support VPN passthrough or a built-in VPN server?
TP-Link's Archer GX90 supports VPN passthrough for PPTP, L2TP, and IPSec protocols. Whether a built-in VPN server is present depends on firmware version — TP-Link has added OpenVPN and WireGuard server capabilities to select Archer models in recent firmware updates. Verify the current firmware release notes for the GX90 to confirm VPN server availability on this specific model.
What WAN speeds does the GX90 support, and will it bottleneck a gigabit internet connection?
The GX90 features a gigabit WAN port, so it is not a bottleneck for standard gigabit ISP connections (1Gbps). For multi-gigabit ISP tiers (2.5Gbps+), the single gigabit WAN port does become a constraint. The router's NAT throughput at gigabit speeds has been measured at or near line rate in reviews, meaning the CPU handles 1Gbps forwarding without significant overhead.
