  • But Amazing Deals, the vender, did not send refunduntil I Amazon Customer Service
  • I gain contacted Amazon Customer Service, who politely, efficiently covered the $21.19 deficit that Amazing Deals defaulted
  • On top of this, the seller, Amazing Deals, only offered a partial refund after the product was completely broken
  • Best to void "Amazing Deals " as they have not proven to be reliable

Reviews around home (5.00 of 5)

  • So now, we have the luxury of having three bands, 2.4gz for the smart home devices, 5gz for the phones and some of the Amazon echos, and the third 5gz-2 all for my iPad
  • Have over 20 smart home gadgets, 2 gaming pcs, and multiple tvs streaming at the same time and the router handles everything well
  • It’s catching potential malware invaders, (all aspects of security is turned on), I have 37 devices connected at any given time (smart home bulbs and plugs, one hard wired Mac, multiple phones, iPad, cameras, Ring doorbell, etc.) and not a single hiccup
  • I have like 30 devices connected including lots of smart home device, they all working great
  • Great choice if you have a lot of smart home gadgets and stream frequently

Reviews around strength (5.00 of 5)

  • but I see no way to "boost" that signal strength.
  • So despite the better signal strength in some rooms, the connection is far less stable
  • I've been using this router for over 2 weeks now in my house; with close to 30 devices connected, the throughput has been very good and signal strength is great
  • After a week, the signal strength is definitely an improvement over the high-end Netgear router I replaced

Reviews around band (5.00 of 5)

  • No problems, working as it should, speeds are not bad.
  • The TP-Link AC4000 is a reliable, easy-to-manage, powerful AC Tri-Band router that delivers state-of-the-art features (Link Aggregation, QoS, beam-forming) and robustness that will satisfy the most demanding networking requirements
  • The device and the router sort out the right band for that device,
  • Fast, 3 bands, easy setup

Reviews around access (5.00 of 5)

  • So far, every room in the house gets reliable, fast Internet access, so the purpose is fulfilled
  • I have not tested whether WOL packets will traverse the VPN.If you already have a router that you like, but need a good wireless access point, this device would fit the bill
  • No problems, working as it should, speeds are not bad.
  • The worst part about this router is that when you set a password for it, it will randomly change the router password without your knowledge or confirmation requiring you to reset it just to gain access to your router settings, so make a backup of your settings so after a reset you can restore your settings the way you had it.

Reviews around option (5.00 of 5)

  • Easy to set up, has every option that you would want, and it looks good
  • While not an inexpensive option, for mission critical stuff ( like my work meetings, or my kids' online learning) it is worth it.

Reviews around signal (4.16 of 5)

  • So despite the better signal strength in some rooms, the connection is far less stable

Reviews around range (4.16 of 5)

  • Range was limited
  • The range on the AC4000 was better, which is the problem I am trying to resolve, but the data speeds were laughably slower

Reviews around tech support (4.03 of 5)

  • Would suggest that they make the Firmware version and build info copyable so we can cut & paste into the tech support chat window...
  • Have to spend 1.5 hours with tech support 'troubleshooting' a device that does not power on.
  • Tech support was disappointing since they don't recognize their packaging problem.
  • The associated Tether app was utterly worthless at recognizing the device (tech support option wouldn't load), and connecting via ethernet to set up my network wasn't much better
  • The less-than-smart-thing was to call tech support, which is what I did.

Reviews around feature (4.03 of 5)

  • There is an option to disable the routing features and use the device as a wireless access point
  • No problems, working as it should, speeds are not bad.
  • For the price, I might have preferred some extra features
  • free parental control feature is a plus
  • Nice features include prioritization of specific devices, so work devices can get priority if needed.

Reviews around speed (3.75 of 5)

  • fot Tp link will resolve this problem I fell in love with it specially with the app that allows me to have more control over the router with my boys 13 and 15-year-old This router is excellent as long as there is no issues and the speeds are phenomenal I only pay for 200 Mbps Internet
  • Faster speeds than anything I’ve seen and no more WiFi drops on iPhone
  • Well, this new and improved router dropped 5G speeds down to 90mbps for my wife's computer and 2.4g down to 38mbps (it was coming in around 70).
  • If your speeds are slower than before, call your ISP.
  • My wife and I really noticed the faster speeds on our phones.
