Used this to replace a failing wireless router.

The old router was working

The router is also fast, so far I have only tested Comcast

my ISP router is crap with wifi, it was super unstable, now I got this to try creating a new wifi signal from a ethernet cable

Surely TP could build decent routers and access points and anything network related IF they didn't rush to market with lousy software and constant need for firmware updates

This combination is both cheaper and better than the wireless routers I've used in the past.

As long as you've got a decent wireless router, this will get you basically a full strength signal wherever you need it

Was too much trouble to figure out and problems solved when I spent a little extra for a better router.

I have a solid home router and my other (high end brand) access point never dropped any of my devices once,

Nice options for such a cheap router.

The Netgear router in the network was basically on the verge completely losing its wireless capabilities but not wired

As an AP it is pretty much like cloning your router to another place in the house (though there is a slight loss due to the cable run).

My router is a TP-Link and it has worked flawlessly

There are better routers and access points, but when building a home network, you need to look at what the actual requirements are for your home.

This router Sucks with a capital S.

Although we've had two fast, strong wireless routers, we've never had a good signal

This router works for what I needed it

Decent routers ESPECIALLY for the price

Here's where things got good:I had intended to get one and use it as the main router until I could replace it with a more expensive router and use this one as the bridge

Refresh your router's DHCP list and you should see the TP-

Fairly slow compared to my old cheaper secondary router, which I went back to.

We moved the router to a location without any obstruction and still failed to produce a signal strong enough to connect.

build my own computers, run my own file/game/web linux server, and flash compatible routers

I finally decided to "do it right" and bought this product for use as a wireless access point, with a good hardwired router / firewall to manage the front-end network security.

really good router

Consider buying a better router,

Has exceptional range, much better then pricier routers.

So if it works, should be a good router anyway.

Or the second router will simply lose the network and need to be restarted.

The router is stable, requiring no reboots, as long as you don't change certain settings.

I really like this router!

I love this router

I assume this would be an okay primary router as well, but I won't use it that way

Great access point saved us from having tog buy a really expensive larger router.

Meanwhile, the old router works like a champ

If I ever find the router to be failing in it's current requirements, I'll be flashing dd-wrt to it.

Follow the instructions, set the ping to regularly ping the router so it doesn't fall asleep, and you'll be in business

Add me to the list of fairly tech savvy reviewers who think this would be a great multi-purpose router if the build quality were up to par

no advice for how it messed up my other router

Worked perfect as a second router.

Going to take an old reliable linksys router and make it into an access point, with ethernet plugs to boot

cheap little router.

To be fair; I can't rule out the primary router as the issue or the electronics in the house as the culprit causing the intermittent connectivity issues

The router itself was fine, but after about a month it died and will not power back on at all

The router itself was fine, but after about a month it died and will not power back on at all

If the router that has the DHCP server is slower to come back up than the access point after an extended power outage (past the UPS batteries), then the access point will not obtain an IP address and no devices will be able to connect to it until a power cycle

this router doesn't seem to work with Win 8.1 for some reason

Even my cheap Netgear router the ability to act as an access point without the need for DHCP.Next

I bought it as a repeated, but the router isn't quite so effective in doing that

After countless hours on with tech support both this and the router are failures

I have tried everything but this thing refuses to play nice with my existing TP-Link router (TL-WR1043ND R)
