    TP-Link AC3150 Wireless Wi-Fi Router - High Performance Wave 2 Wi-Fi 4K Streaming Gaming (Archer C3150 V2)

    • Not quite wire speed nor as fast as the fiber modem's built-in radio, but not bad, so that verified that the test setup was valid.
    • I almost get the same speed as I would if I am hard wired
    • The IP address range/tree for its base network are hard wired to 192.168.xxx and CANNOT be changed.
    • I haven't had any issues, it handles all of my devices quite well (25 wireless and 3 wired).
    • It drops signal, only works when devices are hard wired
    • I've chosen to hard wire many of these, but for a while they were all on the wireless and had no issues
    • This process is easy for wireless devices, but only a lot of cussing and googling revealed that you have to restart router in order to give a hard wired device a fixed IP.
    • I have the Smart TV wired network through LAN cable which just 2 meter away from the router
    • I replaced a Netgear Nighthawk that had worked fine for me for two years until one of those fateful firmware updates screwed it up causing endless problems both on wireless and on hard wired ethernet and the response from Netgear was less than enthusiastic in wanting to help me solve the problem (all kinds of reboots, rollbacks, and such that didin't work).
    • One would think the wired would always be faster but this is just an example of how "up and down" this router performs.
    • I have not tested anything else because all TVs and desktop computers are hard wired
    • It comes with only one ethernet jack, so you may need a network switch if you have more than one hard wired device
    • Easy to set up except that the documentation did not clearly how explain how to give a hard-wired networked device a fixed IP
    • Great router, but only has 1 hard-wire port.
    • Very High End Wireless Router; speeds are faster than being hard wired!!
    • I have at least 10 hard-wired devices in my basement, so locating the router elsewhere was inconvenient
    • 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
