It takes some navigating to understand all of the features this thing is capable of

One of the best things about it is the ability to set a schedule for router on and off times.

This thing is terrible I had much better results from free router from my service provider

I truly believe that google want us to buy this thing despite its apparent unfinished status to secure R&D funds for it

Oddly enough even when the damn thing is connected to the internet, the app still tells me its not, and nothing works.

My printer is the most important thing in our home

Kind of disappointed that 180$ router would turn out to be the most unreliable thing.

This thing is great.

One very important thing to me is VPN support

That is the only annoying thing about this product otherwise works well.

I like the idea in spirit, but in practice, the world (particularly the home networking world) is complex and you need to support a few more things before I will recommend this product to anyone.

The single most annoying thing is the app based interface, its great if things are working, its pure frustration if you have network issues.

This thing is crazy easy to setup.

We absolutely love this thing, and we will end up buying the recommended extenders down the road.

These pages are designed for power users who want to do things like disallowing certain MAC addresses

Also, absolutely no excuse for one LAN port!Google, the next device needs two things at least:1

Another cool thing i notice is with my Chromecast all i had to do was search for the router with the Chromecast home app and it connected itself because it recognised that i was searching from my already connected handheld

I love this thing

I would hope that as the unit's software and its corresponding app continue to evolve, there could be a bit more information available when things aren't quite working... perhaps via its bluetooth connection when that is eventually enabled

The best thing is guest mode

This has been the best thing ever for my family

This thing is amazing!!

Perhaps not the worst thing in the world, but it was a pretty annoying

Let me know when you support the things I've mentioned

I have no cell service and my old router died, so this thing was a complete waste of time

One scary thing, the official support support site on Google is not very active at all.

Did that, and it seemed to improve things but after a

This router is the perfect router for me, I have all of my gadgets on it, my son and my daughter and wife have their things connected as well and not one hick up

Another very important thing to me is QoS. With two kids (3 and 6 years old), we must have 25 devices accessing the Internet at my house

The thing is beautiful, but most of all it is the best performing router I have ever owned

The single most annoying thing is the app based interface, its great if things are working, its pure frustration if you have network issues.

Anyone who says this is not the best thing to happen to their home network then they are doing something wrong.

Now, for the setup, this 802.11ac device is designed to do most of the dirty setup work by itself, out of sight and out of mind because most of us have better things to do

This thing is great so far

The thing looks nice too (a little bigger than I expected), but the nice teal glowing ring gives it a very modern, decorative look

this thing isn't worth what I paid for it

After setup (which is super easy) the thing immediately made everything so much faster

This thing is amazing and gives the best throughput and wifi signal imaginable

You don't have the ability to make adjustments to certain things and some things are just confusing

I've had my issues with this thing since I've had it, but this thing currently is running like a champ

This thing just works

That's not a good thing when you have teenagers playing games & watching videos.

Eventually the router started working properly again, but around the 6 or 7 month mark this thing started to either take forever to finally start working or it would work but disconnect every device in my home

That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen, and I'm not the only one complaining about these sorts of issues on the TP-Link forums

This thing is half the cost of the other fiasco I had, and works 10x better

Might switch to a nicer looking mesh network in the future but for now, this ugly thing keeps the video/music streaming going throughout the house and into the back yard.

The only good thing about this router is if you are looking to add an additional router in your house, not as bridge, but just a second router.

: Let your friends access the Internet without having access to your complete network, protect your devices!A few things that I’ve noticed that could use some improvement: -Traffic Statistics: These are disabled out of the box, and can not be enabled unless you disable something called “NAT Boost”

This thing is awesome

Average people who just want to surf and stream video will love this thing.

When a hi-tech company provides unreliable technical supports, it is not a good thing.

This thing is crazy easy to setup.

The single most annoying thing is the app based interface, its great if things are working, its pure frustration if you have network issues.

That is the only annoying thing about this product otherwise works well.

One strange thing though

This thing just works

Best thing since Apple pie

I LOVE THIS THING

thing actually looks nice, and it came with some cable management ties.

Honestly the most difficult thing about the whole process was getting it plugged in

Sold in blue or black enclosures, the thing is gorgeous, and it feels as solid as it looks

While things like setup, physical design, and range are quite good, an owners option to set internal network settings are very limited.

This thing is slow

The thing is a pain to configure, because the app is so buggy

Love this thing, pumps out my wifi

This thing is great

Really wanted to like this thing

Sorry TP Link, this thing needs some work before ready for primetime in my opinion

This is the best thing I've ever bought for my tiny techie apartment

Love this thing

As a router this thing worked just fine

and now I've got a router that so clever it won't even let me give it direction when it gets things wrong

I am hoping that this thing keeps working and does not make me run out of patience with it.

This should have been a good thing considering we couldn't understand each other on the phone, but the problem is

Some of the ASUS features just slowed things down

This thing is wonderful

This thing is awesome

This thing is ugly.

That thing was sucking up all the bandwidth and other devices could not connect when it was in use.

This thing just simply works

The only bad thing that happened was updating the

The only thing I dislike about it is the lack of more than 1 LAN port

This thing is great!

Hey this thing works

This thing was great and set up easy once I figured out how to take the outside cover off!THANKS!

A cool thing - it has parental controls

, there are a lot of more better things than this

I thought problems like such were a thing of the past.

this thing is fast!I had built a new htpc and wanted no lag between the htpc and the "streamer" pc in the bedroom or my office

In the status page the 2.4 band was showing as active (even though it was not showing up for any device to connect to) and the weird thing was that there is a notice in the status page stating the 5Ghz

n’t look nearly as much like a spaceship as other routers in its class

The bad - I've been wanting to assign static IP's to a couple of devices that are hardwired via a switch I have connected, but when looking at the network and trying to find which Mac address is assigned to what device, the current UI refreshes the list every time you look at a device then go back

The N was pretty snappy at 100Mbps in the kitchen

Great 2.4G wireless speed compared to my other name brand AC router

Because of the forced shared SSID on both bands, I have connectivity issues on the limits of the range of the 5G band where my devices refuse to switch to 2.4G band

I highly recommend this router if you want very good range and a consistent 5G connection

I don't see why ppl will want this C5400 if it doesn't have more features than the competition or equal too in options, the firmware does have its limitations also for the class this router is in also, many other routers in this class have alot more features (bandwidth speed, deep packet inspection, faster USB transfer speed on router ports, 3G/4G USB Dongle and Cloud Managing, just to name a few)

Even the 2.4G was faster than 5G with MIMO

(Let's say 50 feet from the router) the signal strength (Even 2G) become pretty weak but is still able to support a wireless connection at about 30Mpbs which is certainly fast enough for most.
