Our Verdict

TP-Link Archer AX55

GL.iNet Beryl AX (GL-MT3000)

The TP-Link Archer AX55 and the GL.iNet Beryl AX (GL-MT3000) are dual-band Wi-Fi 6 routers. The GL.iNet is designed as a travel router, and as such, is considerably smaller. It also runs OpenWRT, an open-source firmware that's more configurable than TP-Link's. The TP-Link, on the other hand, delivers slightly faster top speeds and better range than the GL.iNet. Also, while the latter has a faster, 2.5Gbps WAN port and a 1Gbps LAN port, the former has four 1Gbps LAN ports, so you can connect more devices without buying an external switch.
