    Doing speed tests through this router on a 1 gig fiber line, it rarely got over 500 Kb. Still sufficient enough speeds for the household. After roughly a year it died on me.

    This router has surpassed my expectations. The wifi 6 is noticeably faster and the connection is incredibly stable. I replaced the router I was renting from Spectrum and couldn't be happier. This router has a much larger range. Definitely worth the purchase!

    VERY poor range, lies from customer service

    Posted .

    I purchased this router for my parents who are understandably concerned about being exposed to constant 5G radiation 24/7. This router has the ability to turn off wifi on a schedule, while still being able to run hardwired devices (unlike their old Eero router.) That feature works perfectly. Unfortunately, that's where the good news ends... Sitting about 8 feet away from the router I was able to get almost 700 MBPS on my iPhone. But move 30 feet down the hall, or go upstairs and it dropped to under 40. Their Roku was constantly disconnecting, and my mother was unable to do her grocery ordering anywhere but in the same room as the router. I contacted tech support, and thus began a two-week exercise in futility. They had me change settings, create two different networks, send them multiple screenshots of speed tests, and gave me completely false information. In the end, they finally just admitted their product isn't very good for anything other than a small unenclosed space, and told me to buy more equipment! Exact text from tech support email: "The performance of 2.4G is inherently not as good as 5G. It is also subject to interference from more factors, and one cannot expect its performance to be good after going through floor. The wall penetration performance of 5G is relatively poor, and there will be more noticeable attenuation. These are all normal phenomena. For the coverage range, the RF power of this device is already close to the maximum allowed by policy. I recommend that you can: 1.Add a repeater (RE) to extend the coverage range. 2.Use an old router as a wireless repeater (WDS)" I promptly returned this piece of junk back to the store, and after plugging my parents' old Eero router back in, I am able to get 244 MBPS in the same exact spot where I was getting 31 with this one (see attached photos). Sadly, the only router I have found which appears to have both decent range AND the ability to run hardwired devices without wifi is the ASUS Zen which costs more than twice as much as this one. My parents are on a fixed income, so unfortunately they are stuck with the Eero and radiation. Bottom line: don't buy stuff from a company that lies to you like TP-Link.

      Hi,

      Thank you for your review. To ensure the best possible signal, optimal placement is important. Reducing obstructions and placing the router in a central location will help ensure your signal reaches the needed areas.

      To ensure optimal performance of your wireless router, please check, and if needed, update its firmware using the steps outlined in FAQ 2139 on our official website: https://www.tp-link.com/us/support/faq/2139/

      Depending on the layout of your home and the location of your existing Internet service connection point, a Mesh Wi-Fi solution may be recommended for seamless, whole-home Wi-Fi coverage. Our TP-Link Deco Mesh Wi-Fi Systems are a fantastic solution in homes where Wi-Fi coverage, speed, and connectivity throughout are needed.

      Our support team is always happy to help answer any questions you may have about our products. Please feel free to reach out using any of the resources included with the product, or from our official website, and we'll gladly have a Support Agent follow up with you directly.

      Thank you,

    Sure it doesnt come with a lot of the fancy control features some routers have in 2023, but the performance per dollar is fantastic and provides the exact admin controls i require.

    TP Link Routers are the Best routers on the market. they function like old school routers and don't add in extras that annoy you for more money. They also have the feature of saving the settings on their routers to a flash drive(on most models). I have never had to worry about them breaking down, or in the case of some other brands refusing to connect more than 2-3 computers for whatever issue. Great choice.

    I like the router and it was easy enough to setup. I later researched VPNs and purchased one. Only then did I discover the router was not compatible with my VPN as far as running it through the router. I wish I would’ve gotten one that is.
