Worked as advertised
Setup was quick and easy following the included instructions. My old router was about 5 years old. It was constantly loosing internet and slow speeds when it did work. Since I installed the TP Link about a month ago I have not dropped service once. I have Spectrum internet. My download speed is now about 3X what it was. I get good coverage over my entire house.

Great router
After struggling with a new tri-band DLink that in the end I returned, I ordered this TP-Link after reading the reviews and really glad I did. The router fired right up, brought my iPad right to the admin screen to change the password, reconfigure the WiFi, and make some other custom changes. The coverage is outstanding on all of the bands in my 3000 sq ft home and my 300/50 mb/sec fiber service is 285/50 both in the user interface and on the 5.8 WiFi. The parental features are very easy to set up, especially with the on-line schooling, and the X-Box and other devices are off-line during school hours. Overall I'm very happy with the unit, but the antennas stick out like a sore thumb on the top of my wall unit.

Easy setup and great coverage
I didn't need a new router. I had been eyeing this one for some time. I had internet service put in at my dad'd house, so that gave me the excuse to install my router at his house and replace mine with this one. Unfortunately, I was on a time schedule and had to cancel this order with Best Buy because it was going to take a couple of weeks to show up. Instead I ordered it from Amazon and just happened to catch it on sale. I can't say that I notice a speed increase. My plan is a "up to" 200 Mbps plan, so my modem and router both outperform the internet service. With my phone about 2 feet away, I measure 234 Mbps download speed. It was VERY easy to set up. I have it near the center of my 2,000 sq ft home and I have internet in my yard up to at least 50 ft in all directions, which is far better than my old router, which was designed for large homes.

Had issues but warranty replaced
Initially the 2.4 Ghz band disappeared and did not come back after about a week. Contacted TP-Link and they had me ship it to them. After their testing they sent me the latest version of this model and has been working fine since. I only had to go about 10 days using an old router. Set up is easy and works great with coverage over all of my house and the yard areas outside. Nice improvement over old router that would not cover the whole 2500 sf house. Of course they now have a Wifi 6 router like this, but will wear this out before upgrading again.

This is a must have!! My internet was running slow, due to 5 cameras security system installed recently. I decided to upgrade my router and all my issues want away immediately. I currently have two phones, laptop, two smart TV, vacuum, sprinkler system and 5 camers running all at the same time with zero peoblems!
