Official Product Info : X5000R
Technical spec :
Support localised ISP profile including TM-UniFi (both vlan500-internet & vlan600-IPTV) :
This AX router is equiped with MediaTek's combo MT7915DA+MT7975DN chips for both 2.4G+5G 2x2:2 radio-ing, kinda interesting design though :
Wireless Performance Tests
WiFi tests based on my setup/scenario/environment as follows:

5:23 - SpeedTest (Ookla desktop)
Interesting results indeed, the combo chips design does perform rather surprise to me, especially the 2.4G, one of the highest I've tested on AX router so far.
What I like about the X5000R :
- Surprisingly decent wireless performance at this price point
- Small footprint and power adapter/consumption, external 5dBi antenna, lots of ventilation holes
- Responsive/smooth firmware experience
- It's OpenWRT-able
(see below)
Could be better if :
- It's really warm even with lots of ventilation holes, not sure whether it's due to the combo-chips radio-ing
, suggest to use somekind of cooling fan - Import/export of port forward lists, support multiple DDNS even for the same DDNS provider
- During my testing above, I noticed the real-time download/upload info is not updated correctly on the main status page
- Provide SSH login if possible
- Need to beef up more frequent firmware update to address stability/vulnerabilities/etc
Note : I got the new EasyMesh firmware, might do some testing later on.
