    Setup was not to most user friendly and I had to go through setup 3 or 4 times. Once setup, I've had no problems. It increased my WiFi range and saved me from purchasing a WiFi extender. WiFi connection is stable outside (25 ft away) and in bedrooms (25 ft away).

    Great reachability, and area coverage. Great value, and does the job perfectly. I set this up with a laptop through a direct Ethernet cable, which was probably much easier than trying to use the app.

    This router as served me well in my apartment. The connection is great. There have been a few times it’s been slow but I can use my computer anywhere in the house with a wily ick connection for the most part.

    Very easy to set up and I had some changing to do because I'm using it for a business. I'm fairly tech savvy so pretty well knew what I was doing but for a home, it would have been a breeze and I used the mobile app.

    I should’ve bought this sooner! I didn’t know my previous TP-Link router Archer C59 maxed out at 100 per Ethernet port. This one comes with gigabit ports. I’m so pleased with this new router!

    I use this for 2 or 3 devices..... tv, iPad, iPhone, works fine. I don’t see any need for a more expensive unit. Maybe if you have many devices streaming at once you would need something more powerful. The range is fine in a normal house, in the garage, out on the deck etc.

    While I'm rocking Ubiquiti networking gear for my home network, this was a great purchase for my father. Easy to setup. Great wireless range. Dead simple. Great buy.

    I purchased this router to upgrade from another TP Link dual band router. Set up was very easy (although I couldn’t simply upload a settings file from one router to the other). Wifi performance was impressive - previously when I did a speed test, I would rarely get over 70 Mbps but since installing this router I have seen over 120 Mbps over WiFi on my iPhone. I did make a minor change to the order in which devices connected to the modem, which may have improved things but I like to think the upgrade was a great decision. Of course time will tell and I will update my review if it fails (I’ve been using it about a month at the time of writing).

    I am a TP-Link convert! This router works seamlessly with my old Netgear, and now my new TP-Link Archer C4000. Both haven't dropped signal once yet. You have to manually select the stricter encryption protocols, but it's easy.

    I needed to get a router so I could get WIFI for my house. I wasn't paying the cable company $15 - $20 bucks a month to rent theirs. I looked around and found this, it's a great router and a really good price. I got it in less than a week too.

    Great purchase. I had spectrum router and it was not giving enough speed. It was around 29-41 mbps around my apartment. But with TP Link it is giving full downloading speed between 89-100 mbps at any given time.

    I would give 5 star if it was had a good range as my previous spectrum router. Other than, it has really fast speed, no interruption at all. You can buy it anyway without hesitate.
