No time wasted, i will procede directly to pros and cons: Pros (with a HUGE *): 1. Good 2.4 and 5.0 speed 2. Good ethernet speed (1000mbps) 3. Good software features Cons: 1. The huge * itself, which is POOR RANGE. Now allow me to elaborate. I was trying to setup an extender which is about 15 meters away, with only a glass door in between and clear line of sight. I go to the extender position and look at the signal strength and WOW 5 bars, almost no signal lost (at least i believed) even in my garage where wifi has never reached i got 1 bar. So theoretically this had GREAT range. But no. As soon as my extender connected, the connection dropped and SSID even dissapeared. That was weird, so i pulled out my cellphone thinking the extender was bad. Same result, got 5 bars signal but as soon as i connected, connection dropped and SSID disappeared. Tested 2 more cellphones, 2 laptops, a Nintendo Switch, all to which gave me the exact same result. I closed in to the router with all devices and with a whole day of testing concluded that the signal could be reliably held with ANY device being 5 meters or closer. Thats right, 5 meters. Then i thought, maybe my house is over a iron ore or something. No, i bout a $20 linksys ac1200 and could easily reach the extender 15m away and even more with a stable and reliable signal. Curious is that at about 20m, this router does “appear” to have more signal strength than the ac1200, but as soon as connection is attempted, connection drops and SSID dissapears. I would have given it 0 stars, but i guess anything in a 5m radius works well. but totally a BAD ROUTER if what you are looking for is range. If all your devices are 5m o nearer then i guess this is good for that. Tried all firmwares on the support page and nothing fixed this issue.Read more

Update 2: Firmware issue fixed my dropped connections in the morning. Ran speed tests. Same speeds. Seems to be same signal strength. Update: Well…I’ve set it to reboot every day now. And oddly some mornings there’s just no wifi signal. So I have to go over and reboot it. I’m thinking of updating the firmware package to see if this resolves that issue. I’ll post once i have this issue fixed. I bought a Nighthawk prior to this. But the nighthawk was a pain setting up as you had to get an app, create an account, and then I still never saw great speeds even on 5ghz. This thing blows that nighthawk out of the water (and was about $30 more). The nighthawk also dropped my cisco vpn alot. NOT COOL. With this router: Signal is great. I can walk down the street a few houses and get signal (not great, but usable). It works great for our square 2,300sqft house just fine. I bought an extender – but found we didn’t need it. Speed is great. I get full use out of my 200mbs connection to my provider. 2ghz I get about 60mbs. 5ghz I get 210mbs. The modem I’m using is a Motorola 24×8. It works well with that. I haven’t seen any signal drops. My VPN stays connected all day (which is rather important these days given covid). It runs cool to the touch (big factor as I’m always paranoid about house fires and cheap poorly built electronics). I have it auto reboot every sunday (which is a great feature you can set in the menu). I’m using the firmware out of the box. I did not update the firmware. With routers, I tend to only update the firmware if I see a problem that needs resolution. Setup was easy. Plug in router to modem. Turn modem and router off. Turn modem on. Turn router on. Pair computer to wifi. go to 192.168.1.1 in browser. setup wifi and password. Done. Great interface too on this router. Very happy i brought this. Should my experience turn the other way I’ll be sure to update this review.Read more

It worked fine when it was new and we didn’t have many devices on it. But as we transitioned devices over from our old WiFi router, it has become unreliable. Constantly has issues with devices that refuse to connect until it is rebooted. No wonder the firmware has an option for a daily reboot! Also if you’re thinking of using the built in VPN software, don’t! The OpenVPN version is ancient and uses outdated protocols. The PPTP server has an admin/admin login that gets automatically added periodically. You can delete it, but it will come back. Useless! Unfortunately we didn’t realize how terrible this device is until after the return period. Don’t buy this!Read more

Este Reuter me ha causado un buen de dolores de cabeza, ya que promete un buen de funcionalidades del nuevo estándar wifi6, y si las hace, si se nota la velocidad, pero presentó un bug de que al tener encendido las funcionalidades del wifi6 como lo son OFDMA, TWT, Smart Connect, y WPA3, el router presentaba un reinicio por si solo, hasta 3 veces al día, asociado con un log que indica “borrar estatisticas por que el tiempo a cambiado”, me di cuenta que al presentarse ese log, el sistema del router se reiniciaba, y causaba un problema con todos mis dispositivos de generación wifi5, y observé en algunos foros, que este mismo problema se ha venido presentando en diferentes modelos de TP-Link con wifi6, hice un reporte con TP-Link en el foro de su página para soporte técnico, y ellos de cierto modo aceptaron que tiene un problema de estabilidad, y por correo de forma particular me mandaron un link con una actualización del firmware de la versión 1.2 a la 1.3, instalé esta actualización, y al parecer ya está un poco mas estable, sin embargo seguí haciendo pruebas y el router se sigue reiniciando, aunque ya sin el log de las estadísticas, pero al reiniciarse los dispositivos que tengo de generación wifi5 se firman bien a la red, siendo que esta vez si pude dejar encendido la funcionalidad OFMDA y WAP3, solo esas dos, ya que con TWT notaba que estos dispositivos wifi5 no se podían volver a firmar a la red wifi, pero ahora he notado que si están un poco mas estable, a los dispositivos que me refiero de generación wifi5, son de Domótica, (cámaras, focos, switches, sensores de puertas, Smart TVs), y solo tengo dos dispositivos que ya tienen el estándar de wifi6, que son un iPad Pro del 2020, y un iPhone 12, es decir, que este router tiene cierta inestabilidad con la convivencia al manejar al mismo tiempo ambos estándares, el del wifi5 y wifi6, las funcionalidades o ventajas del wifi6 solo las podrás aprovechar con dispositivos end points que soporten el wifi6, si yo configuro este router para funcionar solo con wifi5, de esta forma si es muy estable, con esta última actualización del firmware V1.3 lo he notado un poco mas estable, aunque si se ha reinciiados como dos veces en 3 días. Antes eran entre 3 y 4 veces a diario y despues del reinicio, los dispositivos no podían conectarse a la red wifi, ahora despues de un reinicio automático ( que desconozco su causa) si se pueden conectar por si solos. La moraleja es que la convivencia entre wifi5 y wifi6 en los nuevos equipos, aun no está bien homologada o madura como para que sea una operación transparente sin fallas. Les sugiero se compren un router wifi6 hasta que la mayoría de sus dispositivos o end points soporten el nuevo estándar, si la mayoría de sus dispositivos son wifi5, por ahora no vale la pena adquirir un router con wifi6, ya que tus dispositivos viejos con wifi5 no van a poderte dar las amenidades y seguridad del wifi6, y estarán teniendo fallas frecuentemente.Read more

Es un dispositivo fácil de configurar desde la app Tether. Hasta el momento ha sabido balancear y administrar bien los dispositivos (22 conectados) entre las dos bandas (2.4 y 5). Aumentó el alcance de mi señal Wifi en comparación al router anterior. Me da un 90% de la velocidad contratada a 6 metros, pasando de un segundo a un primer piso. Al igual que otros dispositivos TP-Link sus funcionalidades de QoS y Alta prioridad son de mucha utilidad para garantizar el servicio de Internet para videoconferencias y actividades de Home Office. Físicamente es ligero y no ocupa mucho espacio. Les recomiendo comprar un cable Ethernet de mejor calidad que al que viene incluido. El único problema que tuve fue al intentar conectar una tablet de 8 años de antigüedad a la red, solo fue posible mediante un extensor de Wifi, desconozco la razón.Read more

El mejor modem WiFi 6 que pude encontrar con un presupuesto limitado, la conectividad es super estable y funciona perfecto tanto con la nueva generación de PC como con la nueva generación de MacBook Pro. Lo único que creo podrían mejorar es la App para celular, si bien no es mala creo que tiene funciones limitadas y otros fabricantes como Asus tienen mejores Apps con una mejor interfaz y mas funciones.Read more
