    I had spectrum plan of 100MBps but with old router I never received a speed with more than 20mb/s. I thought maybe problem was with the spectrum. I changed the router and noticed I get the desired speed. Also this works with both 5G and 2G wifi.

    Great access point. This really opened up my range and works as a second gateway and router with great ethernet and wireless speed and connectivity. Many useful options for techies built in. Can be set to simple operational mode as an access point or more advanced in router mode with an even more advanced, advanced menu within. Very advanced for the price. Could easily replace most gateways or be used as a second access point with more control than the cable company router over network traffic and QOS abilities.

    Got this to replace a cisco/linksys that would repeatedly drop 2.4 signal while 5G would stay active. I wanted a gigabit dual band, and the TPLINKs have been rated especially highly lately - especially the C7. When this C6 was on sale I thought I'd try - glad I did. Strong coverage throughout the house - its in a side room upstairs and coverage to 1st floor opposite corner as well as into the room over the garage is great. You can configure it in 'smart' mode if desired which names both bands the same so compatible dual band devices will use the fastest/stronest/least congested band. Of course you can just set up the bands separately in convential setup if desired. It can also be set up as an AP if needed.

    My Internet plan of 100MBps never-ever worked with old router. I barely got speeds of more than 20mb/s. I thought that it was a problem was with my internet provider. As soon as I moved to this router and noticed I began to get the desired speed. Also this works with both 5G and 2G wifi and the range covers the entire house - no need for an add-on router.

    I bought this router to improve my AT&T system, which it has. I added to RE220s to improve coverage in my house and couldn't be happier. This system is working so much better than the stock AT&T router we had. With OneMesh, this has been a great upgrade and worth the money, which wasn't really all that much.

    Thus router has an excellent range of coverage. I live in a multilevel house, and I get very decent speeds everywhere. I have Spectrum service, and when I'm connected on the 5mhz band, usually get faster speed than I'm supposed to get.

    Since social distancing began, my household has had 2 adults teleworking, one taking classes online, and 2 watching Roku. Our old wifi router wasn't cutting it. This router handles all these tasks easily, and hasn't needed to be reset since we got it 2 weeks ago. You can set up separate networks on the 5GHz and 2.4GHz channels or have one network that hops frequency based on performance. It also lets you set up a guest network separate from the password protected network.

    I forgot to review this thing but I guess this gives me a lot of experience. I live in an apartment and this is perfect! I also utilize powerline adapters and this has been amazing with them. I always got the speed I wanted and the app makes managing my wifi and updates easy

    Our wifi kept cutting out with our old router and it was affecting my kid's ability to do their school work from home. This wifi router was easy to set up and has not cut out once in the past month. Very happy with the performance and with the price I paid!

    So hard to find a router that just works. After returning to Belkins so far so good. Great coverage and fast speeds. Haven't used the app, but via web browser have made many modifications.

    Been using this router for about 5 months now. I have full coverage in my apartment and 0% of loss in speed even at the farthest location with the bedroom door closed. I think that is worth the money. Recommended

    I bought this router to train my uncle how to set one up at his house. Setup was pretty simple and I was surprised at the range of this thing. I may order one for myself next.
