Customer Ratings & Reviews

The TP‑Link Archer BE9700 is a fast, reliable Wi‑Fi 7 router built for busy homes and small offices. It delivers excellent multi‑gig speeds, strong whole‑home coverage, and smooth performance even with many devices connected. Setup is simple, the app is intuitive, and features like Home Shield security and multi‑gig ports make it great for streaming, gaming, and remote work. It’s a premium router, but the performance and future‑proofing justify the price.

I get good connection while maintaining high speeds on over 25 devices that are gaming or streaming video several times concurrently with no issues, my old house causes a bit of interference but this works better in that regard than several others I have tried also very low profile compared to other models with antenna sticking up

I was on the fence about getting this, but my home has a lot of devices running through it. The WiFi 7 6mhz band allows my son to play games over WiFi w/a WIFI7 triband adapter at as close as your going to get to wired speed/latency. I have a new iPhone and it pulled 1.3 gbs while I was in my living room. Do I need that speed? Nope, but I have it. It also lets my apply my VPN at the router, it has excellent range and MLO. If you’re on the fence and wondering if this will get you higher speeds- it will. At least for me it has across all of my devices that count.

I've been in the IT business as a systems and network administrator for well over 20 years now, and I install a lot of these home routers up for people. Let me tell you this one is everything it says it is. If you have a Wi-fi 7 device, this router will definitely work for you.

TP-Link is underrated. I love my router. Great price for product and performance. My entire home is covered with high speed internet.

I got tired of renting the router from Spectrum. So I decided to get this router. Works great, easy to set up. Everything is running smoothly so far. Upload and down speeds are fast.

Fast router with easy set up. GUI for router management is easy to navigate.

Good router has all the lights you can make sure the Internet working and just by looking at the lights very good strength around 1500 square-foot cover one story

Setup was easy enough, but as-is it doesn't work smoothy. Seems like the sale item I bought was hardware V1.0 so you may have more luck if you get the updated hardware version. The internet randomly cuts out! I still have wifi connection but can't access any websites for about 30 seconds about once every hour or so. According to the internet this is a known issue - I'm surprised they're still selling this router! It also has terrible signal upstairs/downstairs in my house, which my old wifi router covered without any issue. I'm attempting to return it under warranty because I was traveling during the 15 day Best Buy return period, and they're making me go through a process which involves emailing with their tech support.

Purchased 01/24/2026, worked just fine until 05/15/2026, Router just keeps rebooting, TP really built this one to last this is absolutely JUNK!!

I've been using the TP-Link Archer BE9700 Tri-Band Router for the last week and a half. The BE9700 is an expansion to TP-Link’s WiFi 7 lineup and is one of the more affordable tri-band options out there. I have used their dual-band Wi-Fi 7 router BE6500, and their Tri-Band extension BE11000 all of which I have had a good experience with. The BE9700 really seems to be an expansion of the BE6500 as it has a similar layout of radios and antennas, but the 9700 comes with the full WiFi 7 experience by including the 6GHz band. I have had a good experience so far with the router and have enjoyed perfect uptime. For reference my house is 1700 sqft split between 2 stories, and an attached garage. WiFi 7: BE9700 The BE9700 brings the full WiFi 7 experience. The biggest improvements over WiFi 6 are directed at the 6 GHz band which increased the lane from 160MHz to 320. There are also improvements to packet transfer efficiency with 4K QAM, which allows for more efficient use of the spectrum and thus improving speeds. There is also the use of MLO which aggregates the frequency bands for simultaneous usage by a device, which again improves throughput speed. Unfortunately most of my devices are WiFi 6E, with only a handful of WiFi 7 devices at my disposal. My laptops are all 6E, which leaves me with a few Pixel 9 Pro’s that can fully utilize the WiFi 7 bandwidth improvements. The Archer BE9700 WiFi 7 Dual Band Router The BE9700 router (1 band of 5765Mbps @ 6Ghz, 1 band of 2882 Mbps @ 5Ghz, 1 band of 1032 Mbps @ 2.4Ghz) with simultaneous tri-band radios, MU-MIMO, OFDMA, MLO, and 4K QAM. MU-MIMO and OFDMA allow multiple WiFi users to communicate with the router simultaneously (MU-MIMO for high bandwidth applications and OFDMA for low bandwidth) without taking the performance hit. There are 6 fixed external antennas. The router has (3) 2.5GBPS LAN ports, (1) 2.5 GBPS WAN/LAN, and (1) 10GBPS WAN/LAN port. There is also a USB 3.0 port for a networked printer or a storage solution. A single flat CAT6A ethernet cable is included. The router is also EasyMesh certified so it can create a mesh network with other EasyMesh devices. At this time only TP-Link and Netgear have embraced the EasyMesh standard but there appears to be difficulty mixing hardware from other vendors. Performance As with my other TP-Link devices, this router performs well. The LAN speeds are a as quick as I would hope and the WiFi speeds were great. I had no issue covering my home with a good signal, and would only experience noticeable degradation of speeds outside of my home. All devices within my home connected without issue including older 2.4GHz smart home devices. I have a typical test I run with all of my router setups using Totusoft and Speedtest. My internet connection is 600 up/down fiber, so that is my baseline for max internet speeds. For intranet I have a couple 2.5GHz devices that can benefit from the higher throughput. With Speedtest I checked my wired devices speeds – I got 601/597, which is right at my providers advertised speeds. Wireless performance is entirely dependent on distance and obstructions. So with that in mind I checked from a couple different points in my home. I used a Pixel 9 Pro which has WiFi 7 connectivity, and a Pixel 7 Pro which has 6E to test the wireless performance at various points in my house. On the Pixel 9 Pro (WiFi 7) I tested at 10ft, 15ft, and 25ft all with a wall between the device and the router. At 10ft I was getting 540/533, 15ft was 509/503, and 25ft was 440/399. On the Pixel 7 Pro (6E) 10ft was 519/515, 15ft was 455/432, and 25ft was 375/370. I certainly saw performance gains between the devices with the WiFi 7 devices gaining between 4-17% depending on the distance. This isn’t a perfect trial because there are a lot of variables, but it does show a correlation between distance and WiFi generation. For inter-network transfers I tested the performance with Totusoft. Using a mix of wired and wireless devices to perform transfers over the network gives me a some insight to the network throughput. I always aim to have similar machines running so I used a laptop and a PC tower with 6E connectivity and NVME drives to limit that variable. I set the distance to the router at 15 ft with a wall in between and then cycled between fully wired, mixed wired/wireless, and fully wireless. The software simulates bursts of network traffic or long sustain transfers like streaming media or copying large files. With both devices connected wirelessly at 15ft (with a wall in between) 5MB transfers were 127/165Mbps, 300MB was 43/257, and 1GB 42/272. With one device wired and the other wireless the numbers jumped a decent amount. Starting the transfers from the wired device saw the 5MB jump to 175/312, 300MB move to 255/535, and 1GB to 243/538. Starting the transfers from the wireless device saw the 5MB go to 188 /381, 300MB move to 310/668, and 1GB to 319/646. This second transfer would mimic a wired media server streaming out to a wireless device on the network. Either way it is a vast improvement over both devices being wireless. The last configuration was with devices wired, which was the fastest by a longshot. The devices were connected to the 2.5G LAN ports on the router, but only the PC tower has 2.5G network port. 5MB jumped to 790/910, 300MB moved up to 811/892, and 1GB went to 814/879. These are the speeds that truly matter to me since I have my house wired with CAT6A ethernet, and the devices that are the biggest network hogs are wired (Xbox, gaming/media tower, work from home setup). The 2.5G LAN ports really come into play if you have devices with their own 2.5G+ network port, which seems to show up on gaming towers more than anything else. Reliability For me, reliability is king. It doesn’t matter how fast a system is or how many features it packs, if the system crashes out then you are dead in the water. I rely on my system staying up for work, and keeping my house running. I have several WiFi based smart devices including a door lock that I sometimes need to access to let my kids in when they forget their key. If I were to lose internet, for no apparent reason, then I would have a real problem. In the week and a half that I have had the router up and running I have had zero drops or issues. I have monitored my clients uptimes and have seen uninterrupted connectivity for all of them. I have my main network and my IOT network setup to keep them walled off from each other. Again, no issues found or drops. I have been particularly happy with this fact, and has been a welcome change from my mesh system that still has occasional drops and disconnects even after several firmware updates. I do keep the router on a UPS backup, but I have pulled the plug to see how it reacts to a sudden power loss. It came right back up without much issue. I think after 5 or six times of doing this I only had 1 time where I needed to cycle my fiber modem to get them talking again. That’s pretty good in my experience. Mesh Compatibility The BE9700 supports the EasyMesh protocol. Since I have a BE6500 and BE11000 extender that are also EasyMesh compatible I plan to connect those devices as wired backhauls to create a DIY mesh network. I have a decent amount of experience with pre-bundled mesh network devices, and my biggest grip is the lack of network ports on the satellites. Quite a few I have dealt with only have 1 network port that you can either use as a wired backhaul or to breakout a wired connection from the satellite. With a full router, especially the BE6500, I can maintain another branch of 2.5GBPS network ports without shelling out for an expensive switch. I have used the BE6500 and BE11000 together in the past and they worked really well together, so I have confidence that using all 3 will produce good results. Interface There are 2 ways to interact with the router – through an app (Tether) or through a browser page (192.168.0.1). I already had the app to do the initial setup, but I could have just as easily gone through the browser. The app works well and I haven’t had any issues with it. It is easier to navigate the more advanced functions through the browser, but for the vast majority of users the app should do everything you need it to. Creating my IOT network was easy – found the setting, turned it on, named my network, and selected what bands to use (2.4 and/or 5GHz). Within the app/browser interface there are a number of network controls for parents that are easy to implement. I have used them in the past and they work pretty well. I already had profiles setup for my kids with devices assigned to each of them. I can control what sites are blocked and put in cutoff times for bed. This last one is important since the kids like to get up in the middle of the night and mess around on their tablets or Chromebooks. These features are simple enough for even the most novice users to work through. My experience with this router has been a positive one. I have honestly had really good luck with my TP-Link devices over the years so this doesn’t come as a shock. The router was easy to setup, performance was good, and most importantly it maintained perfect uptime. I liked the expansion into the 6GHz band, which was one thing that sidelined the BE6500 for me. Even though my WiFi 7 device list is small I have plenty of 6E devices that take advantage of the bands availability. As time moves on I will get more WiFi 7 devices, so that functionality will be appreciated.

With the slew of new Wifi 7 devices coming out and the few that I have, I figured it was time to get a Wifi 7 router. With my last router I was using a TP Link Deco mesh system which worked extremely well for me, so TP link earned itself another customer. Overall the Archer BE9700 has been a solid router with a few quips. Pros - Easy Setup No App needed to setup but is available Fast to reboot Cons - Software can be a little buggy Range is limited Mesh interface doesn't work with my Deco mesh system Overall build quality of the router is nice. Its lightweight plastic, with lots of venting and it appears to not have a fan at all (its dead silent). I have it on a rack next to my main house router and server, so its soaking up some heat, but it doesn't seem to be affected. It has 7 directional antennas that you can point if you need to troubleshoot signal issues. The router supports 1 10Gbps port that can be used for your LAN or WAN, 1 2.5Gbps port that can be used as a LAN or WAN, then 3 additional 2.5Gbps ports for LAN. I like this configuration because it allows me to plug my server in to the 10Gbps port if I need to (though my current server doesn't support it) while plugging in my main router to a 2.5Gbps port. The software is pretty good, though I feel its a regression from what I had with the Deco system. For some reason, the Deco app doesn't support this router so a new app is needed. The app is almost identical to the previous app. Setup was straight forward to get up and running, but advanced features (like assigning static IPs for devices was not). Overall setup time with plugging it in, booting it up, and having my devices all connected was roughly 5 minutes and most of that was setting up passwords. I've had a few issues with this router though. Occasionally it will get really slow and I haven't been able to narrow down why. Its happened three times now and I end up having to connect to my main routers wifi to get my speed back. Connecting back to it later has it resolved. Another issue I ran into is it keeps trying to assign devices an IP address I have set for my server. I was having issues with my servers connectivity, so checked the log and it was getting IP conflicts. Sure enough, new devices that were connecting or reconnecting, the router was assigning the IP address of my server which I had set to static. On my Deco system this wasn't an issue, but this server seems to have an issue with it. I was able to ultimately connect my Deco system to this router, but not leveraging the EasyMesh system included with this router. I simply plugged in my main Deco node, put it into AP mode in the Deco app, and it now works as an extension of this network so anything connected to the mesh network can reach my server/tv/etc.

As the happy owner of a TP-Link Archer AX5400 Pro, a dual band Wi-Fi 6 router, I was happy to upgrade to the newest WiFi 7 router from TP-Link. And I wanted to like this router more than I have, but there are just a few major annoyances that I can’t get over. Setup of the router was extremely simple: unplug your old router and remove all ethernet connections, then hook up your new router, follow the instructions in the TP Link Tether app, and you’ll be up in running in no time. What’s nice is that my previous router worked with the Tether app, so I was already familiar with all the functionality of TP Link’s app. It wasn’t soon after setup that I encountered my first annoyance, which may be a limitation of the technology itself and not the router. On my previous router, you could configure all bands (2.4, 5 and 6ghz wireless bands) to be seamlessly merged into one connection, in other words, all connections would require one WiFi name and one single password. But with this router, the 2.4ghz and 5ghz bands were together as one network, and the 6ghz band is it’s own band with a separate name and password (though I did use the same password between them). I soon received a notification on my phone that I may experience issues controlling other devices on my network since my phone and smart home devices were now on separate networks… This was a disappointing discovery. If I wanted my phone to use the faster (though shorter range) 6ghz band, it may not communicate well with my smart displays and speakers. There’s also an option to enable what’s called an MLO network that isn’t found in the initial setup, just to make things more confusing. MLO (multi link operation) basically allows devices (that support WiFi-7) to connect to multiple WiFi channels/bands simultaneously. I turned this on briefly to try it out and it was okay. I didn’t notice that much of a difference. However, the only device in my home that supports WiFi 7 is my iPhone 16 Pro, so any potential benefits I would have seen were limited by the fact most devices don’t have WiFi 7 capabilities yet. After some researching, I have seen that some folks online have suggested using the same username and password for all bands/networks. That way your smart devices in your home can communicate with each other. I’m not sure how this would impact an MLO network (should you enable that feature). I’ll have to try this and see if I encounter any problems going that route, even if only for the 2.4/5ghz and 6ghz channels. But until then, I’ve primarily connected all my devices to the 2.4/5ghz connection. As for range, I don’t think this is an improvement from my old Archer router. If anything, it seems like it may have a smaller range. My house isn’t huge, it’s a 1,500sf 3-bedroom. Yet somehow in the corners of this home I find my speeds ranging wildly which is a problem I didn’t encounter much with my previous router. When you are in range, speeds are quick as can be. I have 1-gbps speeds from my ISP and when you can get close to that it’s magic. I would give this router a score of 85 out of 100. The tether app is nice, the unit is fast when you are in close enough range, but the different band setups are confusing and not intuitive. And to top it off, you might not need a WiFi 7 router quite yet until more devices are WiFi 7 compatible. And by the time WiFi 7 is ubiquitous amongst all new consumer electronics, there may be better router options out there to meet your needs. I’ll leave you with one last pro tip: try using the same username(s) and password(s) for your WiFi login(s) on your new router as you had on your old router, that way you won’t have to re-login to your network with every device in your home that was previously using your old router/network.

The TP-Link Archer BE9700 Tri-Band Wi-Fi 7 router is a big boost to my home coverage and it's giving me more reliable connections with my newer devices. This is a fantastic router for all of my households' various downloads, gaming, and streaming needs. I consider this router a way to upgrade from my current router and future proof so that I'll have continual access and coverage as I get newer devices in my network. There are 2.4GHz, 5GHz, and 6GHz bands associated with this router. You'll be able to access BE, AX, AC, and N networks. On 6GHz you get up to 5765 Mbps, on 5GHz you get up to 2882 Mbps, and 2.4GHz you get 1032 Mbps. Blazing fast speeds to ensure you don't get slowed down, and all this will also be dependent upon the speed of your provider. There are 6 high performing antennas with beamforming for a continual broader coverage. I've been able to get consistent signals throughout my 2 story home and the speed is strong no matter where I am situated with my devices. The router has a small footprint and looks understated visually, as it's a powerful workhorse of a machine. On the rear of the router there are multiple ports and buttons such as 1 port for 10Gbps, 1 WAN/LAN port 2.5Gbps, and 3 ports for 2.5 Gbps LAN. Along with a WPS button, on/off button, power port, and a reset button. VPN security is built into the Archer BE9700 as it allows specified devices on your home network to access remote VPN servers without needing to install VPN software on each device. Setting this router up with the help of the TP-Link Tether app is simple and easy to manage. Nice features built into this are also the network protection to detect cyber threats, parental controls, and QOS which allows you to specify devices that need to have priority bandwidth. This is also EasyMesh compatible so you can always add more to this router in the future to ensure even more coverage should you want/need it. Included inside the package is the Archer BE9700 Wi-Fi 7 router, a power adapter, a RJ45 ethernet cable, and the paperwork for the quick installation guides. It's a nicely designed router and it truly does work to ensure your fast connections remain stable. The coverage is strong for all my various smart home devices and better than my previous router. Easy to use and easy to monitor with the provided app.

It’s good to see more routers come out supporting Wi-Fi 7, 6Ghz channels and higher speed LAN ports. Technology is getting faster and all these things help it keep up. However, why are so many security features getting put behind a paywall? I know it’s not just TP-Link that is doing this, as other companies are doing the same thing. But, it is sad to see that something like DDoS prevention and intrusion prevention isn’t something that the router, that is fully capable of doing, doesn’t do it by default. Then, you have to use the Tether app on a mobile device to try the trial or enable the subscription. Anyways, despite that, this router has a lot that many other routers don’t bring to the table. This one can be as simple as running the app and getting your network running in a matter of minutes, to breaking it down and having several different networks running through your household. You can have a different SSID per band for regular users, for guest users and a separate for Internet of Things (IoT), so that you can isolate those items from other local network devices. Basically so that random lightbulb doesn’t need to know your regular SSID and password. You have control over all the typical advanced LAN and WAN settings, you can even make static routes. You can use the router as a VPN client or make it a VPN server with OpenVPN, PPTP VPN, L2TP/IPSec VPN and/or WireGuard VPN. Allowing you to configure client accounts, certificates and manage their connections. You can even isolate specific connected devices so that they can’t see other devices on your network with just a couple clicks. No need for learning network engineering just to keep your kids tablet from being hacked and ruining everything else on your network. If you are like me and still prefer wired connections, this has a single 10Gbps port that can be switched between WAN/LAN and four 2.5 Gbps ports in which the first one can be swapped between LAN/WAN. So, for example, with 1Gbps internet, you only need the 2.5Gbps port and might have a NAS that can do 10Gbps, so it makes it even better for your local network connected devices. There are other features I have not used but know others may enjoy. Like using Alexa or Google to enable guest networks or read out the WPA password so that your guests can connect without you having to remember it on your own. If you have a large house you may also have some weak spots for WiFi, so TP-Link makes it easy to get another EasyMesh and OneMesh device to extend your network to that other device. You can even hook up a USB drive directly to the router and treat it as a network storage that can even be accessed externally if you enable that feature. Despite my complaining of the required subscription for some other security features, they do still include a fair bit of options as they list as “basic”. These include notifications of new connected devices, security scan for router updates, port forwarding issues and wireless password strength. You also get some parental control functions that can do some basic blocking of malicious or restricted content or specific sites and create bedtime to remove access for that device. However, if you want reports of what has been blocked or accessed, that is part of the subscription. Overall, it’s a simple to set up router that brings a lot of the modern tech to the user and plenty of advanced features. It is fully capable of more, but for a slight monthly or annual fee. It has all the capability to still work with that original wireless device from 10+ years ago to the most modern device you can get.

This router has been extremely reliable in my testing while providing a great feature set. The looks are kind of plain, but so long as it provides good results, I am ok with that. I have no issues with my review unit, and it has worked perfectly since installation. Pros: - Reliable - Fast - Easy setup - Great range - Extensive admin options Cons: - Boring design Setup: The process is mainly completed through the TP-Link Tether app. It walks you through all the steps including setting a new admin password and setting up your Wi-Fi. The app is not too pushy about getting you to subscribe to anything, though options are there for advanced parental control and security features via their Security+ feature, which comes with a 30-day trial. Personally, I did not see the need as most advanced features are baked right in. Initially I set up the network using bridge mode on my old modem / router from Xfinity with separate networks for 6GHz and a combined 2.4GHz and 5GHz. I then tested the network using the advertised Multi-Link Operation which uses all network bands for faster transfer speeds. I was surprised that there are also options for IoT networks in addition to the usual guest networks. In summary, on this device you can have a very high performing network, or split it up in many ways to your choice allowing for many subnets in an extremely easy walkthrough Performance: I attached a few screenshots. As the modem maxed out my 1gbps connection to Xfinity, I ended up doing a few tests in OpenSpeedTest to test my local area network performance. I used a Surface Pro 11 and a Asus Rog Zephyrus G16 which both support Wi-Fi 7. Using MLO, I was able to connect at 5764 Mbps on each device up and down. In network testing, the best speed I got was around 1430 Mbps down and 1250 Mbps up which was pretty good compared to what I was getting before. My speeds seemed to be more limited to 6GHz speeds and did not seem to combine bands as MLO advertises, but it did appear more stable at those speeds with less dips. My local ping varied from 6ms to 9ms. I am not fully sure to what level my two laptops support MLO which could have been the limiting factor here. But it is a nice feature to have for future proofing my network. Gaming performance was overall good with a steady 55-60 ms ping. I never saw it go over 62. This speed is good for me with my cable connection as I get the same performance over ethernet, so it is likely related to the cable connection to my provider. Connections: The device is well equipped for connectivity. There is a USB 3.0 port on the side, 1x 10 Gbps WAN/LAN port, 1x 2.5 Gbps WAN/LAN port, and 3x 2.5 LAN ports. The USB port supports both Storage Sharing and Time Machine backups. Parental controls: I was excited that this is included as this feature can sometimes be a paid feature. It is possible to set up profiles within the IP address and via the app. Once you make a profile with age and selected limitations, just add the devices to the profile and set usage times.

The TP-Link Tri-band Wi-Fi 7 Router is an excellent upgrade for my home network, which supports over 20 different devices. Setup The router setup was straightforward. I was confused by the Select Port page, as I was unsure what port it was referring to. Once I got past that, the rest of the setup was easy. I appreciated the easy layouts, internet connection testing, firmware updating, and Nat testing. The router detected there was another Wi-Fi on the network and presented options on how to fix it, with simple instructions on how to solve the issue. I was very impressed with this. The advanced settings have an easy-to-use layout and provide all the settings I would expect to use, such as port forwarding, VPNs, DNS, etc. Usage The router mounted easily on the wall. Once I turned it on, it was easy to connect to. I appreciate the multiple ethernet ports for direct connections for my gaming computers. However, the Wi-Fi connection is crazy fast. I have fiber running to my house, and this router takes full advantage of it. I performed a test using my Fing scanning software, which was running on an iPad Pro. With 19 active devices on my network, including several TVs with streaming services, my internet speed test results showed a download speed of 123 Mbps, an upload speed of 171.5 Mbps, and a latency of 14 ms. I am very pleased with the performance and connectivity in my large house, which supports multiple Wi-Fi devices. I highly recommend the TP-Link Archer BE9700 for anyone looking to significantly improve the performance of their home network.

Got this a Month ago. So far we're happy with this purchase. Definitely had exceeded the speed and quality I was expecting. Compared to our older early 2000s unit. Was a breeze to connect and has the options to change ghz when if need . We have no more lag in our internet.

I've tried many different routers in my time. All the common specs are mentioned in popular reviews; what bandwidth, what security/control features, Wifi 6 or 7, etc. What matters to me most is speed, ability to juggle many devices and maintain speed, keeping signals so I don't get dropped signals, compatibility with different devices, range. This little guy was great in most areas. Firstly, it was easy to set up. Just follow the instructions, download the app, connect to the router, and you're in the generic menu. I have screenshots, see below. Pretty intuitive. The advanced options were not quite advanced, but a few useful things. If you are an advanced user and want more control, you will need to use a device and use the web interface to have further options and control. But otherwise, it was pretty quick and easy to set up. Some of the nicer features is the ports are future/forward thinking, featuring 2.5gbs on all ports, with 1 port for the main line to your modem at 10gbs. Very nice, not all routers have this feature. One of the main feature was utilizing the 6Ghz bandwidth , which was nice. Not cluttered and speedy, I have alot of devices in the house with 3 kids, gamers, handhelds, phones, ipads, tv's, speakers, etc. The amazing thing is I have over 90+ devices, 70+ of those were definitely wireless, and it was able to keep things in order with very little interference, great. My only gripe is the range. Most of the devices were ok, but once I moved away from router to the second floor it starts to slow down, and some even dropped signal. I think this is a great little device but you will likely need extenders or a mesh set up if you have a bigger house. If it wasn't for this , I believe it would've deserved a 5 star. Otherwise, it was very fast in the short(er) range that it has. It didn't have alot of advanced features, but most people won't be using them anyway. For a small 1 or 2 bedroom, or a college dorm, this is perfect.

This device has pretty great range and no issues. It's so much better than the one my ISP issued me. High speed, lots of lan ports, easy setup. You can't really go wrong for the price.
