Strong signal , nice device

This is a great device for many non-techies.

Multiple devices, XBox One, PC, iPhone and iPad and all could work fine.

A fair device for the price, but two things made me send it back, 10/100 ethernet, NOT gigabit, and the antennas are fixed (non removable)

This means my devices that support AC are faster, while remaining backwards-compatible with those which are currently made to use the B, G, or N standard

Not being able to turn on a unified network where all devices can see each other regardless of which radio they link up to is a terrible oversight - and I expect a lot of non-technical users are banging their heads thinking (a) their router is broken or not set up right (b) their [smart device name here] is broken or not set up right (c) they think they did something else wrong and are waiting for their kid to come home from college to help fix it

Yet another "smart" device that is actually worse in some cases than the older style devices where, although you may be overwhelmed with configuration options, at least it is possible to google things and get answers about how to try to fix it.

I don't seem to have much of an issue with the 5Ghz, but it drops devices on that band as well, but not as often.

Just being able to split devices automatically helps with throughput

Handles multi devices great.

Even with all the comments on the forums about the lack of being able to disable devices for specific time period, the family time feature in the new app is still disabled.

This is a nice-looking fast router - if your devices are all compatible.

So, this router is an excellent device for the price

& yet the device has that nice, teal glow

Device literally crashed on day 91

my wireless devices keep losing signal all the times.

Google will certainly work this stuff out, and I suppose in a year or so this device will handle problems much better.

This is a great device, easy to set up and well worth the money!

What Smart Connect does is allows the router to automatically choose the most efficient device so that every device is able to reach its full potential

No dead spaces in a two story 2400 sq ft colonial, currently supporting 18 connected devices

I now have my computer, two 4k tvs, and a phone on the 5gh band and split the other devices of the two other 2.4 radios.

This is like each device getting its own “private” router

The smartphone app provides some really useful features such as blocking internet access from certain devices (good for families), viewing upload/download activity per device, and easily setting up guest networks

I don't know if either it has since settled in, or if I had a bad device on my network that it didn't like, but this router has run great lately and I haven't needed to mess with it in months

This is the best TP-Link device I have had

This router is quite pricey, but I believe I will be using it for a long time and it is well worth the investment over cheaper devices

It seems that when the 8th device comes on, it will get out to the internet and bump the oldest device off.

The biggest caveat here is that not many devices support MU-MIMO yet

He said its missing https (Hypertext Transfer Protocol for secure communication over a computer network).With this device locking up, wasting our time, and not being secure - we returned it.

I don't have a way to test it but based on the stability of the C50 with 4 devices online, id bet it could handle a solid ~6-8 devices with ease.

I feel the device is great but tech-support is needed to properly install the unit.

While it initially worked fine, every device in our home is now completely unable connect to the router through wifi or ethernet with the exception of an old raspberry pi usb wifi adapter

The device worked perfectly for the first 3 or 4 months I had it, but recently it has started dropping the signal and failing to route through to the internet

I replaced the device and the new replacement suffered from the exact same issue

4) Wired devices would lose connectivity

I have a dozen devices (ip cameras, laptops, cell phones, tv's, smart devices, etc) connected and this handles all of them without problem

Overall the router is an excellent devices, I've tested dozens of routers in my life and this is by far the best one in terms of handling multiple units (I tried streaming 7 different devices (iPads, iPhones, Computers, etc) all loaded the videos in 2 seconds the video and perfect resolution, without disconnecting any of the other devices that are constantly connected such as smart lights, music players, etc)

Some old devices or low budget (Roku, Visio TV) don't support AC/5GHZ.

great device, works with my spectrum internet

And this device is so user friendly.

My husband also says this device is not secure - it does not have a secure admin connection.

When it happened all wireless devices would lose connectively

Does a very good job assigning devices to the optimal band

Apart from these minor quibbles (each of which are beyond general entry-level use), we're really enjoying this device and hope it enjoys a long life of use (I'm a little nervous about the reviews I see that suggest it starts breaking down after 7-12 months...yikes).

Bought two of these for isolated device networks

impressive!So, I took 3 mobile devices (as thats what most people are on these days) and simply ran speed test from the most dense corner of my home on both 2.4 & 5.0 Ghz networks

It is a great device, Works just perfect.

Long story short, it is managing 21 devices over 2.4 and 5ghz connections with a wireless bridge and an extender and it never slows or drops a device.

Seriously the most frustrating device I've ever owned

The rep informed me that I would hear back within 48 hours regarding a replacement device.

I still remember a D-Link unit I had about 10 years ago that would overheat in the summer months and reboot over and over
