Having read some of the reviews I can add praise for this product, very easy to set up and the wifi range is much better than my old router, the parental controls and access controls are also very good, after the firmware update the app would not reconnect so I had to power down and power on the router, but once I did this it worked fine, also like that you can add MERCUSYS cameras (not their TP Link TAPO cameras) to the system which at £14 is an excellent price

Honestly impressed with this router. It’s been miles better than my XR1000 — stronger connection, no random lag spikes, and not a single drop since setting it up. Setup was quick and the Wi‑Fi has been solid across the whole house. For the price, it’s been a massive upgrade.

I recently changed to Virgin Active for a variety of reasons. Happy with the speed, but their "Hub5" did not afford coverage in our house and their was too much Jitter causing some packet loss. This is something that the BT Router had well under control - now with Virgin so I had best sort it...PROS:Coverage/Range - the complete house, a 2 up and one down with garden and garage, is fully covered by the WiFi now. No patches of no coverage - even deep in the loft you will get a good signal from the Router.Ease of use - Whilst I did not need any instructions, I connected the router and the Virgin Hub did what it needed, act as a modem. Connect to the modem, plug the router in and switch on. 3 minutes later full connectivity.CONS:Build Quality - it feels cheap and tacky but not flimsy. I did not buy it to look at it because it is ugly and looks like a transformer flattened by a Lorry.Instructions - if you are a technophobe then the instructions that come with this device will give you a migraine.All in all the device loses 1 star for abysmal documentation - otherwise it is a cheap and effective router for the ever-lasting Virgin Hub issues.

Easy set up. I used this as a replacement for my BT home hub as it was wifi. I have a full fibre 1g connection. Wifi speeds.vis BT hub were around 520mbps, they are now at 930-950mbps with 100mbps upload. I dont have a large house, I get a good signal in every room which is vital for me as I work from home. There is even some signal at the edge of our garden. Very pleased with this item.

Although this is a decent Wi-Fi router, that is very easy to setup and has a decent feature set, at a very low price, the coverage leads a lot to be desired.I originally bought this to only connect some IoT devices, and I was struggling with connection issues no matter where I put it and how I configured it.In the end, I replaced it with the (a very similarly priced) AX3000 variant, and it worked flawlessly out the box with no tinkering and I can basically put it anywhere. I originally wanted to put the router out the way in the loft, but with the AX1500 in there, nothing would connect to it. The AX3000 in the loft now and everything connects to it perfectly. Even the devices furthest away from it still have a decent connection.Simply put, if you want something with decent signal strength, don't get this. Get the AX3000 instead.

After some research and checking with Grok, I decided not to spend over £100 on a Wi-Fi 6E router and went for this instead — and I’m glad I did. If you don’t have loads of Wi-Fi networks around you, this is easily the best bang for the buck.I’m using it as a dedicated router for my Meta Quest 3S, with my Google WiFi handling the main network. For Virtual Desktop, it works really well. The connection is stable and responsive.I do get the occasional FPS drop in Half-Life: Alyx when running everything on the highest settings in Virtual Desktop, but switching to medium quality makes it run smoothly with no issues — which is totally fine for me.Overall, great performance for the price, easy to set up, and perfect if you want a reliable, affordable router for VR streaming without going all-in on Wi-Fi 6E.

You need to download the firmware from the official website and update it manually. I was experiencing spikes and/or packet loss exactly every 10 minutes; the problem improved after enabling Access Point Mode (no internet connection without the old router), and after updating the firmware from 1.2.0 to 1.3.3 revision V2, the problem disappeared completely and the router is now working perfectly. For some reason, this router cannot update automatically; it simply does not detect the update.P.S. The firmware update didn’t help. The router is working terribly. I removed the provider’s router from the chain, but that didn’t help. The Vodafone Gigabox router actually performed far better than this one, even though it only delivered half the advertised Wi-Fi speed

Bon produit, facile à configurer.

Llevo bastante tiempo usando el MERCUSYS MR1500X Wi-Fi 6 AX1500 y la verdad es que ha salido muy bueno. Desde el primer día la conexión ha sido estable, pero lo mejor es que con el tiempo ha demostrado ser un router confiable para el uso diario.La velocidad es más que suficiente para la casa: streaming en alta calidad, videollamadas, juegos online y varios dispositivos conectados al mismo tiempo sin que se caiga la red. La banda de 5 GHz va especialmente fluida cuando quiero el mejor rendimiento.También he notado que maneja bien múltiples equipos conectados, algo importante hoy en día con tantos celulares, TVs, laptops y dispositivos inteligentes. La señal tiene buen alcance y cubre bien los espacios sin necesidad de repetidores en mi caso.En resumen, es un router con muy buena relación calidad-precio, estable y cumplidor a largo plazo. Después de usarlo bastante tiempo, puedo decir que fue una muy buena compra.

DOBRZE! Moje mieszkanie nie jest duże, ale jest pokój, w którym zawsze nie ma sygnału. Mogę uzyskać 300M w salonie, ale w tej sypialni mam tylko 10M z modemu Play. Mercusys uzyskują jednocześnie 60M, znacznie lepiej.

J'ai acheté ce routeur pour étendre la portée de mon réseau WIFI à mon domicile car le routeur fournit par mon fournisseur d'accès à internet n'est vraiment pas suffisant et je dois dire que je ne suis pas déçu du résultat !Possédant des RJ45 dans presque toute les pièces de mon habitation, j'ai simplement raccordé le port ethernet du routeur à mon réseau à l'étage (zone ou la couverture WIFI était la plus faible, voir même inexistante) et me voila avec du WIFI dans toute mon habitation (maison unifamiliale de 200m²).Le signal est même suffisant pour l'étage du dessous ! J'en ai même profiter pour supprimer le WIFI du routeur de mon fournisseur d'accès et je ne fonctionne plus qu'avec celui du TP-LINK.Les trois antennes sont orientable, et à l'arrière du routeur, une multitude de boutons pour activer/désactiver le WIFI, activation poussoir WPS,...Mise en place très simple : Plug And Play, je n'ai même pas eu besoin du cd d'installation pour le faire fonctionner.Je recommande !

Aldrig tänkt att en sådan billig router kommer funkar so braJag använder den i lägenheten på 62 kv/m och den håller max hastighet på 5ghz i alla ställen samt balkong
