A complete improvement from the fios router I had in use from Verizon. Range and signal has multiplied exponential to all areas that previously had bad reception. No issues were experienced with the dual band 2.4ghz/5ghz identical SSID setup. Devices select the best band to use. Setup was simple and there are many advanced config menus for those who want to get granular. Speed test menu built in. If you have fios make sure you use a cat 6 cable from the ont and release the IP from the router before replacing. This TP-Link is way ahead of it game.

Purchased this after reading reviews on tomsguide.com. This router performed the best at punching through walls and ceilings, which is what we need. My wife works upstairs as far from the router as is possible in our house. A WiFi extender did not help, all of the 1000 or higher powerlines are sold out nationwide. My wife was getting 10-20mb at best, could not even take part in a Zoom call. After purchasing this router, my cellphone gets 115mb (we have the 100mb plan from Spectrum) and she is getting 80mb on her laptop. I pointed all three antennas at the opposite end of the house, it's working wonderfully. I used my phone to set it up, was up and running in 10 minutes, and I am not some super-tech person.

The TpLink Archer C2300 Cloud router has to be one of the best routers I have used in a long time. It is much smaller and compact compared to others I have. Installing was very easy with the TpLink Tether App. I had it up and running in about 10 minutes. The Tether app also allows you to make setting changes like parental controls and turning wireless networks on and off. You can also set up the router with a Web browser if you choose. Since installing the Archer C2300 I have not had any problems. Prior to installing the router my kids would constantly complain that the internet was being slow and movies took forever to load. Gaming with someone watching a movie on Netflix was nearly impossible with our old router. Now we have multiple devices watching movies and kids gaming all at the same time with no problem. The range of the Archer C2300 is amazing. I am able to get rid of the range extender that was needed with my old router due to dead spots with little or no wireless coverage. I love the shiny look of the Archer C2300. It looks great and blends in beautifully with my other electronic devices. Alot of routers i have had to disable the lights but i found that there was no need on this device because they are a perfect brightness. There is an option if you would prefer having them off. It has 2 USB ports for local storage sharing, printer sharing, remote access to a USB drive when away from home, and as a media server. This was a review of a free product received from TpLink as part of a review program.
