Customer Ratings & Reviews

This router was easy to set up and provides Wi-Fi to areas of my house that the signal wouldn't reach before. I stream movies/tv shows wirelessly to an Apple TV without interruption, even with multiple devices using the internet at the same time. TP Link customer service was helpful after our power blinked off and the router needed to be reset, took only a few minutes with their guidance.

I am not the most technically savvy person but I did hook this up and configure it by myself. I have never had wifi capability before, so it was a little challenging for me to do the Quick Setup. I ended up calling the product tech support and they resolved my problem immediately and it works fine. The range is good, even through stucco walls and double pane glass. I have the unit in the front room of my house and can use it in my back yard, which is the furthest point from it. Presently I only use it for a Kindle Fire tablet.

Perfect for our needs. Easy to set up and reaches easily throughout the house (1200 sq ft).

Great inexpensive WiFi router for apartment or small house. Very easy to setup.

It works well in our house. It has good range and speed.

Placed router on the 2nd floor and still got full bar of Wifi in basement. High speed internet with few devices connected at same time.

Seems to be a slower connection for Gmail on my phone than I had with an earlier router but it comes. Fast on my laptop though. Website access is fast, on phone and laptop. So a good purchase.

Cost-effective and provides great dual band wifi connectivity. It's a solid piece of equipment for the economically-minded.

Easy to setup and has decent speed. The price is very reasonable. For the price, this is the best deal.

this is a nice budget friendly AC router. I replaced my old Lynksys wireless G router from 2003. I have no complaints with this router. The online user interface is a bit confusing for a few things, but the main things to get you up and running are easy to find. I had a slight issue looking for where to change the default admin password to log in. A quick google search and I figured it out though.

excellent signal on all three floors of my house have had 0 issues with connecetions

Excellent for extend my wi fi signal, easy to connect.

Easy set-up....works great...good product for the price

Works well once you get it configured. Only drawback is that the dual band mode is not easy to use.

Bought it just to upgrade my old router. Increased my internet speed. Also a good price for a starter ac router.

I'll give a quick rundown of my thoughts before listing the pro's and con's of the router, and I'll be upfront: It's an okay router for the $40 I paid. Had I paid the retail price of over $75 I'd have been returning the router after the first night of using it. The 2.4 signal is great as is expected but it's a HIGHLY saturated signal in my apartment, hence why I picked a simultaneous dual band. The 5GHz signal is okay, weird dead spots in my place and signal drops with only 15ft distance and a very thin wall in the way. +PROS+ +For $40 it's pretty good value +Fairly detailed menus and easy setup (for those who know what they're doing at least) +Nice sized high power antennae +GIgabit LAN (who would buy one without?) -CONS- -Weak and sad performance from the 5GHz band -No mounting holes at all -No band steering allowing the same SSID to be used and letting the devices pick what is best or available. ~Other thoughts~ ~DDWRT would have been a nice feature, but the chipset apparently doesn't jive with it, grab an archer C5 or C7 if you want that. ~I'd really only recommend this if you can get it for the discounted price of $40. Otherwise chip in a little extra and get the C5

I worked a lot with TP-Link routers and can say for sure they are the best in terms price/quality. This one is not an exception.

This is a reasonably priced router that performs like an expensive one.

One of the best routers of had that hasn't cost that much money the detachable antennas are big plus

A family friend had their internet upgraded and I recommended they install this router because it had wireless AC support to take advantage of their faster internet. They previously had wireless g. This does a great job. Not too expensive and still able to max out their internet connection.
