Reviews around feature (4.73 of 5)

  • It's 2017 and this router still asks you to look on the back, find the version number then head out into the internet to gamble on finding the right firmware to fix it's buggy features
  • This product also comes with great features such as guest networks, dual-band wireless, and the ability to monitor devices connected to the router
  • One other feature I liked was the ability to reduce the transmit power level for this router
  • And if the WDS feature is unreliable, I will consider to return the Archer C9 V1 and seeking for another product!
  • This router provides fantastic range and all the features I need.

Reviews around coverage (4.58 of 5)

  • Coverage for my 3,000 SQ Ft place was poor and I had to buy an extender.

  • easy install, great speed pass through, very good coverage
  • , but for larger homes you'll probably be better off with a router that has better coverage.
  • Provided great performance and coverage throughout the house.

Reviews around range (4.56 of 5)

  • The first one I had to return because it kept going out on a average of 10 times an hour plus the range was horrible!I'm using the 2nd one now and love it!
  • The range is outstanding and the router itself is very reliable
  • The range was poor and I had to relocate to the middle of my house to get coverage all over.
  • Range is a problem compare to the old Asus and Netgear.

Reviews around setup (4.44 of 5)

  • Tedious setup process, I had to manually upgrade the firmware, and it deleted all my settings
  • My expertise is about mid-level, but the setup was easy
  • The setup was straightforward (no more difficult than setting up any other router), I had it up and running just a few minutes after un-boxing it
  • Junk, setup was easy but that's where it ended there..kept dropping signal, every time you used a different device you had to sign back in with password
  • Setup is extremely easy and connection has stayed smooth.

Reviews around strength (4.30 of 5)

  • I have the router a foot away from my Roku and it shows signal strength is poor
  • Setup is easy, signal strength was quite good in my home, and I rarely needed to reset it (which seems to be necessary with every router I've owned).However, the unit died after about 4 months.
  • This TP link router was super easy to setup and the signal strength has been solid across my house.
  • When first set up, router was great; great speed, great signal strength, then it wasn't.
  • Got this to replace a WNR2000 router with hopes of getting better signal strength in corners of house

Reviews around customer service (2.49 of 5)

  • To top it off, TP-Link's customer service seems like a nightmare to deal with, and is more concerned with pasting template responses to bad reviews than resolving issues with their products.
  • I replaced a two year old router by a leading brand name (C) because it was too weak to service my modest size home
  • It was the most negative and unreal customer service experience I've ever had

Reviews around isp (2.18 of 5)

  • My two cents: Some folks may think they need even higher bandwidth capability or otherwise are seduced by high-priced units, but a unit like this one or other 1900's will stream several devices simultaneously at top speeds if you have a fast ISP
  • Have had several connectivity problems that required a visit from ISP tech, who isolated it to a loose connection in the box outside the house
  • If you have a slow ISP, a faster router won't help a bit
  • What was the chore was getting our ISP to recognize the new equipment
  • Also our ISP (not ATT) is relatively stable which also helps.

  • Idk if this is because it insists (there's that HAL9000 again) that its IP MUST be on a different subnet than my DNS (which happens to be my main router, thank verizon...), but it's driving me nuts
  • however, it has problem recognizing the dynamic IP from my internet service provider (Comcast).
