    TP-Link AC5400 Wireless Tri-Band Wi-Fi Router (Archer C5400)

    • it's got great performance
    • Performance was spotty and less that what I am presently getting.
    • The 8 antennas, MU-MIMO 4-stream technology, and Smart Connect (which automatically assigns devices to the best band to balance network demands) worked together to help me achieve good performance and much better range
    • At $99, it is also the same price, but the TP-Link OnHub offers better performance
    • It’s a fantastic router that’s been well designed inside and out, delivering a great user experience and superb performance
    • The performance has been flawless and almost all the devices show a much higher internet speed
    • It's wireless performance under default settings is awful and limited to a little over 100 Mbps when tested by several review sites.
    • This ac5400 is by far the best, and the only one with enough power and performance to consistently deliver 220 mbs throughout my entire 1800 sqft home
    • I highly recommend this router for someone that needs great performance and coverage.
    • A big performance boost and much longer range than even my ASUS that I was using.
    • and I had little motivation to replace it except I was hoping for slightly better performance with some of my newest devices
    • the improved performance and network reliability are worth every penny.
    • I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending this router for its ease of use, broad feature set, and fantastic performance.
    • but this product is excellent, very good coverage, super easy to setup and excellent performance.
    • As a result, performance of streaming to my TV is MUCH improved
    • Performance is great.
    • The wireless performance is pretty good, but the user interface is so sluggish that this is the most frustrating router I have ever configured.
    • Outstanding performance
    • Google might have made a choice to simplify the configuration but people often get inferior performance and they won't ever fix it because they won't touch the settings
    • This router is straightforward, reliable and high performance
    • It has specs that any comparable unit costs $120+ and its performance is as good if no better
    • After spending YEARS flashing various routers with DD-WRT just to get decent wireless performance, it's nice to finally have something that just WORKS out of the box
    • I have full coverage with no dead spots and this router has excellent performance.
    • That said the performance is great, range and speed is excellent
    • Excellent performance
    • Router itself has great performance.
    • Under the hood, the C5400 has a strong specification leading to fantastic network performance
    • and I have to say, this is the best performance for the money that I ever had on a router
    • Solid, dependable performance
    • After owning this router for a few months, it's given me nothing but rock solid performance
    • Too bad, I really liked it and the performance it provided.
    • Admittedly, I have not had great 5 Ghz performance from my previous D-link router either.
    • My TP-Link Archer C9 always had a solid 5ghz signal to that location, so it's performance was much better.
    • Great performance while it was working, but 14 months isn't a terribly long lifespan.
    • Super performance
    • Performance is insane even in out two story home
    • Per TP-Link, this feature "gives up to 3x greater Wi-Fi performance while gaming and streaming on multiple devices"
    • It's funny because when I first tried setting up the router I called RCN and NEST and the tech support guys both said that the Google OnHub router should not give me better performance over the Linksys E2500 because they were both dual band rputers with the same specs
    • I was using the Optimum online router, and was having very poor wifi performance
    • Outstanding performance all over our house
    • The performance is slightly better than an Apple Time Capsule in terms of latency and speed of download/upload.
    • Absolutely stellar performance and usability

    • A Smart Connect feature automatically assigns each device to the best available band to achieve optimal performance
    • The performance of the laptop has always been disappointing but now it is very good
    • I thought I did my homework and ordered what I really wanted/needed to improve performance of my Wireless-N installation, I even returned an AC2300 router thinking I had ordered wrong.
    • Easy setup/replacing prior wireless router; excellent performance, coverage, reliability
    • If you're comfortable with the MSRP of $199, I would say that this router will get you great performance for the average user.
    • They've all had various problems, from regularly required reboots, poor WiFi coverage, connectivity problems to work using standard connectivity methods, poor performance, etc
    • Easy setup, provides useful information, and it allowed me to retire remove an additional access point while improving overall performance.
    • And for the negative:*Poor 5 Ghz performance
    • or so it went back to the same old poor performance.
    • So far love the performance
    • I am hopeful that the upcoming Asus model may have better performance too.
    • After I disabled the built-in antivirus I had been experiencing very poor performance
    • But my tablet, that I tend to use in my bedroom, seemed to get the worst performance (due to the location in my home)
    • I have not tried any storage modes as I have two dedicated nas arrays, but give this device high marks for pure awesome wireless performance across three bands!
    • What the market still doesn't offer is something that has outstanding performance, is completely user configurable and

    • I was looking for stable, high performance tri-band wireless solution for my gigabit home internet connection, and had tried the three node Velop, an EA9500, Asus RT5300 and dedicated access points.
    • It then tries to force your device onto the 2.4ghz where performance is even worse
    • I like the performance and features, the lack of ports is the only downside for me
    • Above all it is very hard to deny just how great the performance is across the board
    • In this case, the Wave 2 Tri-Band features of the router are demanding the power to improve their performance.
    • Good performance for my purpose
    • Unless this device offers verifiably superior wireless performance, the other issues are mere footnotes
    • The performance and coverage has been excellent

    • (it) has been fine-tuned for better performance, providing more than twice the throughput across multiple MU-MIMO devices
    • Great performance on both bands and a huge coverage improvement in our home since upgrading to this router.
    • It auto updates and you never have to deal with firmware and security updates or adjusting settings on the device to get the optimal performance for your WiFi network
    • Strong performance
    • Look at the awful performance in this wireless benchmark graph.http://core0.staticworld.net/images/article/2015/08/onhub-5ghz-80211n-36-intel-100611073-orig.jpgSome have pointed out that the chart above was due to the client accidentally connected to the 2.4 GHz network rather than 5 GHz
    • I am very happy with this and highly recommend for simple setup and great performance.
    • Absolutely great wireless rouuter, super performance, good price, quick deliver
    • I don't think my home is very different from common households and for these use cases, the Archer 3150 v2 is a very relevant router with impressive performance.

    • no more need to screw in the antennas and I love it.-The router is also fairly light and not as massive as my Asus, so i love this as
    • I wanted something that was going to give me a little more directional boost in wifi throughout my house as well as give me better security than many of the basic routers out there
    • Not as fast as I'd
    • and you will have a new appreciation for how broken an
    • I went from a single band to this triple band as well as from a 10Mbit to 100Mbit service
    • Good wifie connection is on all 3 inside levels of my house as well as in my back yard and front yard
