I bought an AX50 to take advantage of the WiFi 6 features for the mobile devices etc in the house, but the wired connection reduced performance by about 50% or so. Only getting a max DL speed of around 180-210Mb/sec where it should be 380-400Mb/sec, as I get with my TP-Link AC3200.
Plenty of posts & comments about it. Returned for full refund.
Aside from NOT having WPA3 (????), the router is working fine. I put it on a laptop cooler from day-1. It’s mind-boggling why the TP-Link omit WPA3 on this router. I might exchange this with an Asus.
TP-Link official support has the audacity to ask users to return the good to the store. Which store gonna accept the return by the time TP-Link announced the “bait and scam”?
If you search for AX50 at TP-Link forum, you will find a lot of angry comments.

Did you update the firmware? We did not encounter such issues. We recently used another AX50, and it worked just fine.
TP-Link has basically discontinued this router because of all the hardware issues. Runs hot, frequent reboots, constant dropouts.
Food job recommended probably the worst router on the market right now.
