The AX1500 is the more affordable entry-level option — ideal for smaller homes or users upgrading from older routers on a budget. Choose the AX55 if you need maximum performance; choose the AX1500 for everyday home use at a lower price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs it compatible with the NBN?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The Archer AX1500 is compatible with all NBN connection types including FTTP, FTTC, FTTN, FTTB, and HFC. For FTTP and HFC connections, connect the router directly to the NBN connection box. For FTTN and FTTB connections, you will need a separate VDSL modem or a modem router upstream.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes it support Wi-Fi 5 and older devices?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The Archer AX1500 is fully backwards compatible with Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac), Wi-Fi 4 (802.11n), and all older Wi-Fi standards. All your existing devices will connect and work normally — Wi-Fi 6 devices will benefit from improved speeds and efficiency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I set it up?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDownload the free TP-Link Tether app on iOS or Android, connect to the router's default Wi-Fi network, and follow the in-app setup wizard. Most users are connected in under 5 minutes. You can also set it up via a web browser at tplinkwifi.net.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes it support parental controls?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Basic parental controls are available through the TP-Link Tether app, allowing you to block specific websites, set time limits, and pause internet access for individual devices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use it as a wireless access point?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The Archer AX1500 supports Access Point mode, allowing you to connect it to an existing router or modem via Ethernet and use it purely as a wireless access point to add Wi-Fi 6 coverage to your network.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TP-Link","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43198377427173,"sku":"Archer AX1500","price":104.5,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0637\/1554\/1221\/files\/tp-link-archer-ax1500-wifi-6-router.webp?v=1779682648","url":"https:\/\/cctvguru.com.au\/products\/tp-link-archer-ax1500-dual-band-wifi-6-router","provider":"CCTV Guru","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
