    Easy to set up. Sometimes it disconnects itself and then back on itself. Weird thing. Other than that, it is good.

    I liked this router when I first got it and was working fine now after a little over a month or so it is working a bit out of sync or at least I think that what i'm experiencing is from the router itself though i'm not a 100% sure if it's coming from my internet service provider which is, Verizon fios with the very fast fiber optics service they give me? anyways the problem is that the wireless connection it seems like it's always on a come and go even if it is for just seconds? Reason is that when surfing the internet with google chrome browser a lot of time the connection is lost and the pages don't open and a message pop up that says AW oops the conection was lost and the page cannot open? before I had this router this would not happen? I'm still about to call Verizon to report this and find out if it is coming from them? anywyas I also now since it's passed the 30 days for returning this router I guess that my only option is to call the manufacturer and see how and if they can help me with this issue? this was a budget router that I was really impressed in the beginning but I hate things that after 30 days or so it's passed it starts to not perform as good! anyways i'd give 2 stars but i'm being generous by giving 3 instead, still cause I hope it's coming from my internet provider Verizon but that might be unlikely that it's coming from them!

    I needed a new router and have had excellent results with the TPlink products. TPlink has not let me down, unlike some of the big names i have used in the past.

    Works great! Due to dual band and mainly 2.4 GHz is most powerful for strong signals.

    Did some research and took a chance on this brand after seeing so many positive reviews on amazon and BestBuy. Glad I did. 1 week only but so far so good. Not a single reset required. I have it set as access point with a manual setup/config. Tried automatic setup as an access point and it failed to set up properly. So better do a manual setup if you need it as an access point.

    This router is MUCH better than the standard router Spectrun sent me. I'll also mention that I purchased a TP Link range extender a while back and unknowingly was prepping my house for a Mesh network, as this TP Link router works with my TP Link extender to create a Mesh network in my home. That was an incredible surprise. Great equipment for the price, did tons of research into budget friendly, but great routers and this router lives up to those reviews.
