TP-Link - 802.11ac Wireless Gateway with DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem - Black

Top of the line modem/router. All of the latest features and very easy to setup as well as personalized configuration on the its website

I used to be a full-on geek and would spend hours reading up on devices before buying, then tinkering with them for hours until I found weak points. Not now, with a family and a job that suck up all my "free time" I can't do that as often as before. When I realized that it was time to stop giving money away to comcast for "renting" their modem, a quick search on amazon and best buy narrowed it down for me to 3 devices, and out of them, this one came up on top due to the overall good, solid reviews, the price point, and the feature list. After weeks of use, I'm happy to report NO issues. haven't had any slowdowns or signal drops (used to happen a LOT when using 2 or more devices at a time with Comcast's router). As I'm writing this, my laptop is wireless, wife is streaming videos on the PC (also wireless) an old music player is playing (also wireless) and my little boy is streaming Amazon videos (wired) and nobody seems to have any issues. Oh, my cell phone is also connected and running updates and what not... all smooth sailing. setup was a breeze (less than 15 minutes) and the instructions to make custom adjustments (or just leave the basic setup as is) are clear and to the point. Great product, great performance, and easy to setup and maintain. Also gives you the option to go deeper into the options and setup advanced networking and parental controls. what else can you ask for? it will pay itself in just a few short months, and I'm not tied up to mediocre cable company equipment.

it's been more than a year since I purchased this, and I've only rebooted it once, ONCE; because for some reason it wasn't refreshing/reconnecting to any of my devices. and that was maybe 6 months ago already. This thing has been thru power and service outages, and when the issues were solved, it went back to work all by itself. the range is good (live in a medium-sized apartment with a concrete wall separating it from the farthest device) and video streaming is not an issue at all (to a PC used as a streaming device most of the time). it connects at least 2 devices at any given time for streaming (smart TV and tablets) and never have had any lag. configuration page is easy enough for anyone with very technical inclinations, or robust enough for those that know how and want to tinker with it. highly recommend! already more than paid for itself by saving on "equipment fees" from the "friendly" ISP.

This cable modem supports DOCSIS. Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification (DOCSIS is an international telecommunications standard that permits the addition of high-bandwidth data transfer to an existing cable TV (CATV) system. It is employed by many cable television operators to provide Internet access (see cable Internet) over their existinghybrid fiber-coaxial (HFC) infrastructure. The various standards are sometimes abbreviated to Dx, as in a "D3 modem" (DOCSIS 3 modem). I tried this modem with XFINITY from Comcast. It has six internal antennas and high-powered amplifiers boost signal strength and reduce interference. Dual USB ports support access files & media from networked devices. Speedtest revealed 60 Mbps with my tiered plan. The main advantage of using a own router is we can get out of monthly rental costs which can add up heavily. I was able to stream movies wirelessly with Roku box. Very easy to setup, this came with an Ethernet cable and a manual. It is a no brainer to connect and use it,

I purchased this modem after comparing quite a few others to replace my Time Warner supplied modem.It has all the features I was looking for including 4 Ethernet ports and 2 usb ports.Set-up was easy and I had no problems getting connected to the internet.I use an AT&T microcell due to poor phone service in our area-I used to have to reboot the microcell and modem all the time before I installed the new TP-Link modem.Since installing the new modem I no longer have issues with lost connections .

What is outstanding about the product is the powerful WIFI capability it provides compared with my previous modem. I purchased this product due to switching Internet service provider.

This is a review of a free product received by TP-LINK as part of the review program. If you're like me, then you can't stand being nickeled & dimed to death with fees from your cable provider. Although many are finding out more & more as time goes on, you do have another option! Unlike your set top box (DVR) you do have the option of owning your own cable modem. By doing so, you will eliminate the monthly rental fee attached to your bill. Not only that, you can get a modem that offers greater performance than the one offered by your cable company. What makes the CR700 attractive is, not only are you getting a high performance cable modem, that you own & therefore aren't paying for every month, it also bundles in a high end WiFi router too! This enables you to get rid of a bunch of different boxes & just have an all in one, high-speed solution. I love not having to give the cable company more money than I have too, but what I love even more is being able to satisfy all the data hogs in my household! Thanks to the CR700, everyone can do their own thing without impacting each other. One can be streaming music, another streaming / binge watching, another gaming on the Xbox One, another online shopping & myself living on my Nexus 6P (yes. I'm a smartphone junkie). I have no complaints with the CR700. It performs well, eliminated cable & box clutter, but best of all it actually saves me money each month!

TP-Link CR1900 is THE BEST cable modem WiFi Router available today for home use. I tried the other brands, even tried several mesh system devices costing over $300 and NONE of them compare to the WiFi signal strength I am getting from the TP-Link. In fairness, being in a 2 story 2100sf home with the modem/router upstairs receiving 120Mbps signal from Cox Cable to feed 49 WiFi devices on the 2 floors plus 4 in back yard, I did have to add a TP-Link RE450 WiFi extender downstairs and am also using 2 TP-Link RE200 extenders on the back of 2 downstairs big screen TVs. Using the Ethernet connections from the RE200 extenders, my TVs are receiving up to 47Mbps when tested using the Speedtest app. BOTTOM LINE: Not one of the other devices and combination of devices worked as well so I plan to stick with TP-Link 1900 until and unless I find something better at the 2020 CES Show.
