Setup for this was extremely easy. I am getting great performance from this in a roughly 2800 sq ft home with no other extenders. If you need to upgrade your tech, look no further this is superior.

Had this router for a little over 2 months now and so far its been amazing and have had 0 issues. When it comes to gaming or even workstation/ business uses I have yet to be failed. Internet speeds from connected or ethernet have been at its maximum threshold. However for wifi range its not the greatest in terms of coverage and extender may be necessary. Set up was a bit confusing but maybe it was just user error majority of the time.

Excellent value for Wi-Fi 7! The speed is blazing fast and the price is right. The only downside is the lack of a 6 GHz tri-band option. Easy app set up too.

I have set up 3 different routers on my home. This was easiest set-up. Seems to be working well. Several devices connected at the same time and all are working well.

I bought this for my mother to replace her existing router. Needed something simple and easy to setup. Setup was straight forward and I was online in a few minutes. So far I've had it working without issues for a month and I really like the app gives me ability to monitor and manage it remotely for my mother. Speed and signal strength are great.

I recently upgraded my internet to fiber. The "mesh" type router that comes with it is terrible. No signal 2 rooms away. Replaced it with this. Night and day. I have a strong signal throughout the entire house. Simple set up. This a very good router.

This router has been excellent. Great range and speeds, with an easy-to-use app that makes setup a breeze. This router has allowed me to stream Steam games throughout my house so I no longer have to be physically at my PC to game. Would definitely recommend.

Purchased this router to use as the WiFi for my TMobile home internet. The Tmobile Gateway and Satellite could not cover the needs of my 1600 sqft home. Once I set up ip this router, everyone was happy with their connections and ability to stream throughout my home. We are not gamers, so I can’t say how it will perform for that. But it covers everything inside and outside of my home that needed to be on the WiFi network. Highly recommended for replacing the TMobile gateway/satellite for those of you who need more coverage with that setup.

The router offers a seamless experience for home networking, providing reliable and fast internet speeds. Setup was relatively easy, with clear instructions and a user-friendly interface to manage the settings. Its coverage is impressive, easily reaching all corners of the house without any noticeable lag or drops. With its multiple antennas, it efficiently handles numerous connected devices simultaneously, ensuring a stable connection for everyone. Overall, the router is a great choice for anyone looking to upgrade their home network.

Wifi 7 at a really great price point. Sure it's a TP-Link and not as flashy as some of the other brands, but it does what it needs to do for my house. Connectivity is reliable, speeds are faster than my older wifi 6 router by about 10-15%, and the range is decent. I still needed my existing extender to have a strong signal reach the security camera over my driveway. Overall, not a bad investment to get wifi 7 for under $175.

I purchased two of these for two different church properties. It is easy to address and program. I can monitor and adjust security, etc. on both remotely using the "Tether" app on my phone. I can even grant or deny guest access. I can restrict access by time, etc. Very flexible and powerful. My old router capped at 100mps. This one speed tests at 300. Good powerful array on top. Good price.

I love my new router! It was easy to set up. My wifi range is much better too. I was a little nervous about switching from Nighthawk Netgear but they were out of the one I wanted. I am really satified with this one!

I was looking for an inexpensive, newer AP router with a smaller footprint and found that this met those conditions. The antennas are a bit of an eyesore, but they are helpful and the range is definitely better than my previous non-external antenna AP router. Integrated well and the TP-Link app is a boon for managing it with a phone. Lots of newer features, but nothing over the top.

It’s definitely way faster than my old Linksys router. I have a small apartment so it’s hard to say how good the range is. Setup through the tether app was fairly straight forward if you are somewhat techy, and it’s nice to be able to control everything from the app.
My complaints: My old HP printer will not connect to this router. My printer will only connect to 2.4ghz. I tried turning off the smart connect and connecting directly to the 2.4ghz but still no go. Spent hours trying to trouble shoot on my own messing with settings. Called the TP link customer service and spent about an hour on the phone with them. Rep told me they had to reach out to the escalation team and said they MIGHT call me back - they could not guarantee they would call me. It’s been over 2 weeks and I never got a call back from them. So now I have to go buy a new printer because I need to be able to print for work. I’m sure there is a way to get the printer to connect, but I couldn’t figure it out and their customer service couldn’t figure it out and they never followed up with me.
Pros:
- fast
- tether app has lots of controls and you can see all connected devices which is nice.
- good for gaming
Cons:
- not great customer support from my experience.
- won’t let my printer connect to the internet.
- set up might be a little tricky for some people if you struggle with techy stuff (I’m 100% sure my mother would need help with setup).
