Nice little drop-in replacement router
|Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.Rock-solid, dependable, and the built-in OpenVPN Connect client isn't bad at all (beats the heck out of setting up DynDNS and OpenVPN yourself, and I say that coming from a pfSense). The one beef I have is that there's no multi-gig / 10Gb switch port on it, but to be fair, the two link aggregation ports will do for 95% of users (the rest of us are running NIC teaming in-OS). It also cut the power usage and noise levels on my rack _way_ down - I was able to remove an Optiplex 7020 desktop (pfSense router), a Netgear R6300 v2 WAP, and a Netgear JGS728TP switch from the rack, and my home office is a lot more tolerable now. I'm looking forward to see how it gets in the summer.

Decent but stopped getting updates
|Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.The last firmware update was over a year ago. Nothing perfect and the router had some issues. Even after I opened a ticket with TP Link, they indicated that the router had no issues and didn't require a firmware update. Data traffic was not being tracked correctly for starters. Everything showed as zero even when I was streaming. It also kept dropping devices. My outdoor camera lights would turn on and off all night because of it. Switched to a different product and now traffic and devices are good. Lights are back to normal.

Worked as advertised
|Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.Setup was quick and easy following the included instructions. My old router was about 5 years old. It was constantly loosing internet and slow speeds when it did work. Since I installed the TP Link about a month ago I have not dropped service once. I have Spectrum internet. My download speed is now about 3X what it was. I get good coverage over my entire house.

Q: Questionwhat is the coverage area that it will service
Asked by jack.
- A:Answer Unsure if this will answer but live on a 1/2 acre property in a suburban area. Reception reaches the back of the property. I was told it could reach three houses away if I wanted to but have not tried it out. I can sit in the back of our standard housing development and still get reception and not be on my back patio.

Q: QuestionWhy does the WiFi say weak link on this r were router
Asked by Tina38.
- A:Answer If you are referring to the "weak security" message, this simply means you need to configure the router's WiFi encryption settings to WPA2-PSK [AES] for each WiFi band. These settings can be found within the router's web management interface. If you would like assistance changing these settings, please reach out to our TP-Link support team here: https://www.tp-link.com/us/support/contact-technical-support/
