Reviews around problem (5.00 of 5)

  • Easy to hook up, works great, absolutely no problems so far....has an app to use on phone, to see all devices connected to the router.
  • The problem is the support, they want you to use chat
  • Although easy to initially setup, there were problems from the outset
  • Unfortunately their tech support did not identify the problem
  • No problems and the signal strength is much better than my previous 6-year old TP- Link router.

Reviews around connect (5.00 of 5)

  • During original setup I attempted to set the "Smart Connect" feature.
  • Smart connect is pretty neat, but connects my iPhone XS on 2.4g more often than it should.
  • Smart connect is pretty neat, but connects my iPhone XS on 2.4g more often than it should.
  • One thing is certain -- I will never again try to turn on "Smart Connect"!
  • So i turned off Smart Connect and thought that was that.

Reviews around tech support (4.30 of 5)

  • Unfortunately their tech support did not identify the problem
  • I haven't needed to call tech support for this router yet.
  • Set up was a bit of a pain with little help from tech support
  • Unfortunately their tech support did not identify the problem
  • the reason that Tech Support only has a 3 is because I didn't have to use it

Reviews around strength (4.28 of 5)

  • Plus, power cycling the router restores the frequency, for a little while, and then signal strength is strong.
  • Much better than the older netgear router and it seems like the signal strength is better, so have retired the wifi extender at this point
  • I can only connect to the 5GHZ network, the normal 2.4GHZ network does not appear in the wifi list which makes it impossible to connect some device for lacking 5G compatibility.
  • ASUS AC2900 transmitted 5G about 50% better than CR1900 to an Android TV box on another floor and looked like it might be the winner UNTIL, the WPS failed to connect 5G to 2 of my extenders AND after I had all the guest networks perfectly set up, the ASUS suddenly erased ALL my main settings and reset itself to defaults
  • It was the easiest to setup via a smartphone app, delivered the 2.4G and 5G to ALL my devices but FAILED to recognize ANY new devices and then app wouldn't even let me log in again no matter which

Reviews around signal (4.06 of 5)

  • Returned to using my TP-link Archer C7, which works perfectly, just not as strong a signal as I would like.
  • Returned to using my TP-link Archer C7, which works perfectly, just not as strong a signal as I would like.
  • The tv in my basement could not reach my old router at all but is now getting a strong signal with this one
  • We noticed that on the other side of our house (about 40 ft from one side to the other with several old lathe and plaster walls in between and one floor up) we would get horrible signal
  • It was the easiest to setup via a smartphone app, delivered the 2.4G and 5G to ALL my devices but FAILED to recognize ANY new devices and then app wouldn't even let me log in again no matter which

Reviews around range (3.99 of 5)

  • Fastest router I’ve ever owned and with great range on 2.4 & 5ghz
  • All in all it is affordable, has great range, and faster data speeds that distribute bandwidth where you need it.
  • It was the easiest to setup via a smartphone app, delivered the 2.4G and 5G to ALL my devices but FAILED to recognize ANY new devices and then app wouldn't even let me log in again no matter which
  • but I don't really need it anymore due to the great wifi range I am now getting from the tp-link ac2600.
  • I was upgrading a 6 year old ASUS router because the signal kept dropping, the range was poor even across our open floorplan, 1500 sq ft home, and even when I did have strong

Reviews around coverage (3.81 of 5)

  • I can only connect to the 5GHZ network, the normal 2.4GHZ network does not appear in the wifi list which makes it impossible to connect some device for lacking 5G compatibility.
  • It provided good coverage; it just didn't outperform my old Cox
  • Good signal good coverage for my humble abode, probably overkill for my needs
  • The router was easy to set up and provides good coverage for a large house
  • I also get much better coverage in the top floor of the house (router is in the basement).Only complaint is my old router was also a TP-Link (Archer C7), which failed after just 2.5 years (with a 2-year warranty)

Reviews around speed (3.43 of 5)

  • I read that this router was rated at a 1.7 Gbps wireless download speed and was shocked to see it this was achieving slower speeds than my original issued router
  • I found that my prior wireless router was limiting my overall speed to 50 mbps
  • The speeds were pretty slow at first but the manufacturers support was available via chat at 11pm for me
  • That said, it provides great LAN connectivity for my computers, and super fast internet speeds
  • The range did not provide service throughout my house and the speed was slow.

Reviews around device (3.40 of 5)

  • and I consistently get more than that via wireless on 5GHz band while also supporting 10+ smart plugs/devices.
  • The same devices where able to connect at a much further distance, and the throughput (connection speed) was significantly faster.
  • The 5 GHz works fine, but the other doesn't and if you use smart devices, like Alexa or smart switches they rely on 2.4 GHz
  • TP-Link also has a really good system for me to manage my 2.4 and 5.0 users list, I can block any stranger device anytime that i want.
  • Easy to connect all devices; even my nontech wife connected all her devices with ease.
