Our Verdict

ASUS RT-AX3000

TP-Link Archer AX4400

The ASUS RT-AX3000 is a better router than the TP-Link Archer AX4400. They're both dual-band Wi-Fi 6 routers, but the ASUS has better signal strength and delivers faster speeds than the TP-Link, especially at further distances. Both routers still deliver speeds suitable for multiple users watching 4k video concurrently.
