Reviews around strength (5.00 of 5)

  • , it has great coverage and the signal strength is excellent
  • Signal strength was good at both locations and downloading was on a par with the speed I saw when in the same room as the router.
  • Even having to cover the entire distance of the house from the farthest point in the house, the router provides good signal strength to opposite end of the house
  • Signal strength seems plenty strong throughout our house, and we finally have a router that isn’t being overloaded on one frequency
  • Fast router, great signal strength even trough multiple walls

Reviews around setup (4.71 of 5)

  • The initial setup was extremely easy, besides the required reboot I had it up and running in about 10 minutes
  • The setup was relatively easy and the router provides consistently fast download and upload speeds
  • Fast, easy setup, my 6 year old helped me and we finished in 5 minutes.
  • The setup was very fast and easy and speeds are pretty good (but not exceptional).
  • Using the Tether app on iOS, the setup was easy and no problems encountered.

Reviews around feature (4.59 of 5)

  • That is really a handy feature since I only have one SSID now.
  • By the way, you can toggle whether to manually select 2.4 or 5ghz for each device or to let the smart link feature adjust devices automatically
  • It gives you the impression that it is not working as you will not get a connection unless you enter your new password.
  • and I thought that the Smart Connect feature offering to use one SSID and route all of the devices according to which channel and band were best for it would be simple when using different devices around the house.
  • Seems buggy still, particularly the smart connect feature

  • This router performs very well while subscribing proper internet service.

Reviews around range (4.23 of 5)

  • Unstable, poor range, and bizarre performance issues over ethernet cables all work to offset the low price for a name-brand AX router
  • The router works great so for three weeks in, it has great range and speed.
  • This router will put out the 400mbps speed on wireless and the range is fantastic.
  • It gives you the impression that it is not working as you will not get a connection unless you enter your new password.
  • Moving from 1 bedroom to the next over looses half the range

Reviews around tech support (3.93 of 5)

  • Honestly I’m not impressed with either TP Links or Amazon’s tech support
  • It was determined by tech support the router is defective or faulty
  • Tp-Link’s tech support sucks
  • tech support is dreadful and they disclaimed the warranty.
  • It randomly disconnects, I spent weeks trouble shooting and working with their awful tech support

Reviews around price (3.91 of 5)

  • Regardless, the price for this amount of performance and quality is worth it
  • I didn’t have much a high expectation due to this incredible price
  • For the price, other than the UI confusion, no complains or issues thus far
  • I'm not sure why it isn't enabled out of the box as a default setting, but it isn'tOverall a good router capable of using WiFi 6 technology best suited for a small apartment (not a large house) at a relatively cheap price point compared to other WiFi 6 capable routers
  • Coming from a 2010 router this is a world of difference at a super affordable price

Reviews around app (3.88 of 5)

  • Tplink mobile app limited, but easy to use.5
  • A fast, strong router, with a genuinely useful app to boot
  • The app it advertises didnt work and it added a space to my password so I had to go into the interface and change everything
  • Also enjoy the app that has many useful features and user friendly
  • The app that's supposed to work doesn't work

Reviews around connect (3.56 of 5)

  • I disabled smart connect, then my laptop reconnected to 5ghz again
  • The smart connect sometime don't switch the band quickly.
  • I did not immediately think it was the Smart Connect because why would their own software slow everything down so much
  • The Smart Connect feature that allows you to run the 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks using the same SSID is a disaster.
  • I disabled smart connect, then my laptop reconnected to 5ghz again

Reviews around connection (3.53 of 5)

  • Wifi range and speed is good, just won't maintain a decent connection to the internet.
  • Setting up the TP-Link router (AX1500) was an exasperatingly slow process online, but the connection appears stable now that each device has been “informed” of the switch
  • It has not done it again, but the connection is no longer stable at all
  • I still get the same "weak signal" connection I got with the old Netgear that had one little antenna.
  • Make sure to use the 5G connection to unleash the speed.

Reviews around product (3.44 of 5)

  • Quickly arrived and set up was easy--the product has a QR code on the bottom you can scan (didn't really work with my iPhone) or you can type in the information your self.
  • Great product, easy to use excellent value for the price, would recommend for average use
  • Yes it has a low cost but there are better non-WiFi 6 routers on amazon and my advice is skip buying this cheap product completely
  • Bad product hooked it up and set it up and wifi is worse than actual modem with wifi built in
  • I would recommend this router to anyone who is looking for a good product at an amazing price!

Reviews around signal (3.24 of 5)

  • If you get too much bigger I would worry about losing the signal on the 5Ghz band and would leave you with a poor speed at best
  • This router works as it should giving me a solid and powerful signal
  • So far I'm very impressed with the range, even in my furtherest room (which is when I get weaker signal and wifi will cut out), I was still able to run my device
  • I still get the same "weak signal" connection I got with the old Netgear that had one little antenna.
  • Fast router, great signal strength even trough multiple walls

Reviews around device (3.20 of 5)

  • I have done factory resets and tried all sorts of settings, but it appears connecting AX devices to the router causes it to become unstable and reboot often
  • Well, now the devices are staying online, but everything has slowed to a snail's pace.
  • I've had constant problems with this router, it constantly drops my smart TV and many devices
  • Not sure if this is a glitch or my smart device being dumb, just verify it to save yourself some stress
  • My devices would only connect to the existing router... ignoring the new unit (which had the same broadcast name & PW, per AP guidelines)
