Customer Ratings & Reviews

I had a Lynksys router that had extreme output and was also MU-MIMO, but I have high tech home and I am always adding more tech. So, I needed something that has great output and can handle more connections, like WIFI 6 can do. I also needed 8 Ethernet ports for all of the hubs. I also have about 28 connected devices like Apple TV, Rohu, 4 TV's, game console, Hue lights, cell phones, computers, iPads, etc. This things cranks out great speed. I am limited by my service at 400 mbs, These same speeds are throughout my first floor and reaching 200 on the second fl of a 3000 sq ft home. No lag, no buffering on any streaming device. I don't need a WIFI extender as well. This is my first TP-Link since I has ASUS and Linksys before. The ratings are quite high in comparison tests and they are accurate. This is easy to use and setup as well. I could not find a mesh system with that many Ethernet ports. That is why I am using this great router.

Bought this router to upgrade my home network. I had good experience with my TP Link Archer C7, which now serves as a WiFi extender. Set up was easy - I used the tether app mostly. Love the built in speed test, parental controls and security features. Instantly saw a jump in speeds over the C7 from 250 mbps to 350. It’s a big router but it fits on the shelf where my old router sat. It’s only been a day but I’m feeling good about the upgrade.

It was very easy to set up and the Tehter app is awesome, you can log directly into the router from the app to adjust your channel frequencies, which i needed to do for my surreond sound. Overall I’m very happy with this router.

On a wifi6 device I got the same speed as wiring it directly. I came from a n600 so this was a huge upgrade. So non wifi6 devices did see a boost also but again I upgraded from n600.

I bought this router when it first came out, and to be honest it was a little flakey. Certain devices couldn't connect, mostly older 802.11b devices. Some would drop wifi connections for no reason. However, the firmware upgrades over the ensuing months have fixed all that and I now have a rock solid router. With my old router I had to run an Ethernet cable to get my Apple TV 4K to actually stream 4k content, but now I can do it wirelessly with this router. Solid streams, no dropouts, it keeps up with my Gigabit Internet really well. Consistently ~300 Mbps with local streams. My house is old (built in 1953) so the walls/insulation are not the greatest, but this thing shoots signals through three walls and into the back yard with ease. I don't have a zillion IOT devices and usually have ~20 things connected at any given time (TV, Apple TV, light bulbs, mobile devices, etc.) and haven't had a problem in months. If you get this router, update the firmware immediately and you should be good to go. Other plusses: * 8 ethernet ports (that's a lot!) * excellent web-based config with lots of options, but basic options up-front for simple setup * cool little mobile app you can use for setup * both USB type A and C ports for mounting media Minuses: * it's physically big * web config app not compatible with Safari. What?!?

I see all the bad reviews on this router. Let me say first I have always wondered why routers seem to be junky after a few months, I never had that issue with TP-Link and the speeds that come from them has always been far above what others offer. I have Gigabit Speeds and this router as other TP-Link routers have outdone all Netgears, Asus and Linksys Routers I have tried. I have tried all of the pro gamer models as I only buy higher end routers. This router has been outstanding as normal! No complaints! Gives me the range I need and give me the speed I pay for! Listen to someone that has spent a lot of time getting mad and upset with expensive junk to only be let down! Give TP-Link a shot. You will not be disappointed! Remember a router only gives you the speed that is at the Ethernet cable, it will not increase a slow speed. You have to have speed at the wire before the router and I think that is most of peoples issues with bad reviews. If you do not have the correct speeds contact your cable/dsl/Gig provider and make them fix the connection before you complain. Its that simple.

Had for a month now, no issues. Was easy to setup. Needed it to hardwire several accessories upstairs and needed updated router as old one was 15+ years old. Also setup with switch I put downstairs so I could hardwire more accessories. Works great with 2 people working from home, camera system, gaming system, smart tv's, etc.

I had limited reception in my 2000 sq ft ranch style home. I lived with it for a couple of years and made it work. Devices worked smoothly near the router. Times are different and I needed stronger signal everywhere. This arrived. I downloaded the phone app and had it working in minutes. Took a few more minutes to sign-in to different devices with new network. Holy smokes. I had no idea what I was missing. Everything ran fast everywhere. I thought some of my devices were slow, but it was the wifi. This is how it is supposed to work. Very happy. Best part, the app from my phone lets me see current and recent use of all devices - good to know what my kids are up to at night...

This router is really awesome. The speeds on this router are incredibly fast. Would definitely recommend it for large homes and buildings or an environment that has lots of devices connected to a single network. I haven't had any buffering or lagging at all with this router. This has to be one of my favorite products.

I was a little leery switching from my nighthawk that was a beast however I wanted the new wireless standard and this router had good reviews. Well I can say this router is awesome I have a IT background and know these products pretty well. The router is very reliable and very fast would highly recommend!

Very easy to set up. Range is very good. I noticed the speed difference from 5 to 6 immediately.

Great wifi6 device. Very easy set up and have the archer 1500 set up as secondary access point. Products work well together. No dropped signals. Family can stream multiple devices while I am working from home. After 9+ months, I am still pleased. Using as primary hub with fios internet, cat5 running from frontier box to router. No coaxial in use.

great device, easy setup. I have three game consoles and a gaming Pc along with 4 cameras and 4 smart TV hooked up and running most of the time along with 4 to 5 phones. The device handles all of those without lagging

For being more of a "lesser known brand", this router does a fantastic job. It does not throttle the speeds like some other routers do, and both bands of the wifi signal reach throughout our home (2500+ square foot).

I purchased one of these for my home a couple of years ago … absolutely impressed with the level of performance … considering the reasonable price point … this particular router is for a work project … again … awesome performance … and simple setup …

This is one the easiest route I have setup. The parent control are very easy setup and use as. The performance as been great with family of 7 and mother-in-law

I have 1Mbs internet service, replaced the router from my service provider with this one and have been thrilled with the result. Theirs was not Wi-Fi6. I have a 2400 sq ft home, speeds are much higher in all rooms. Wi-Fi seems to me much more consistent as well. Highly recommended. Was also extremely easy to set up. Since my ISP only allows 1 MAC ID, it prompted me to change the MAC ID of this unit so I didn't even have to contact my ISP about the change.

I like this, because the tp-link link let you know how to fix with video that for internet access problem. So Netgear does nothing. And also, HomeCare is no fee for Lifetime. So Netgear is no fee for a year.

Great range and very high connection speeds and throughout on wifi6. Highly recommend.I don't use this as a router, I use an edgerouter instead, but it's a great AP.

Replaced my 10 year old router to gain WiFi speed and handle more devices at once. Set it up in 5 minutes and gave it the same name as my old router. Most everything connected automatically. Some IoT devices needed to be reconnected.
