TP-Link AC1200 WiFi Router (Archer A54) - Dual Band Wireless Internet Router, 4 x 10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet Ports, Supports Guest WiFi, Access Point Mode, IPv6 and Parental Controls

25 years ago, I installed server systems, terminals, printers, and network routers. All that networking equipment had to be set up with laptops directly connected to the routers' ports. Nothing was autosensing. I enjoyed it, but I knew what I was doing. Fast forward to today. I had to replace my own 25-year-old router because new laptops would not connect to it due to upgraded security software. I thought, Oh boy. I bet this is going to be a trip. I had forgotten most of what I knew; besides, I knew nothing about this new stuff. I picked this TP-Link AC1200. It was inexpensive, but we didn't need anything robust since we are not gamers. First of all, I ordered it on Amazon at about 3 pm. 8:30 pm, a car backs into my driveway. They delivered the router in less than 6 hours. Incredible! Today I went to install it. I was expecting a bit of a hassle with configuring this thing. After physically connecting the two cables —the power cord and the network cable —I powered it on. I went to my PC. The TP-Link showed up in my available networks. I click on it. Put in the password supplied. Got connected, but I had no internet connectivity. Ahh! I had to disconnect a cable from my MAIN in-house router, then reconnect it so that the router ID would be discovered. I went back out to the shop, clicked on Safari (I have an Apple MacBook). Wala, I'm IN. I could NOT believe how easy the installation went. No glitches, smooth operation, and my network is all updated. I know how networking operates, but I am clueless about all the newer equipment since I've been out of the field for almost 15 years. So, even a stupid person like me can set up this equipment that used to take a lot of training 25 years ago. This inexpensive wireless router is absolutely outstanding. I usually do not write such long reviews, but I could not let this pass without adding my thoughts about the TP-Link AC1200 WiFi Router. I'm so glad these routers were not around when I was in the field. If they had been, my great-paying job would not have existed. Now that I am retired, I'm happy for them, so I can still dabble on the Internet.

Excelente router, tiene 1 red de invitados y 1 para IoT ademas de la principal por supuesto. Yo lo compré esperando que tuviera varias redes de invitados como lo tenía un router muy similar a este. Funciona perfectamente bien pero siento que es información útil si lo estás comprando para hacer subredes.

Super facil de instalar... Tiré un cable de utp cat 6 de 120 metros hasta llegar al router TP-LINK y funcionó perfectamente, la señal es de calidad y de buen rango.

Love it!!! This is soooo much better than my Spectrum router it's so fast, dependable and reliable ..I never get any lagging or buffering. It was extremely easy to connect and I'm not that tech savvy at all. I had it up and working in about 10 minutes. Although, what made me choose to purchase a router and this particular router is because of the excellent price point, I was familiar with this brand but the main reason is because Spectrum for over 6 years was charging me $10/month to rent their router....which I had NO clue!!!!!! So if you renting your router...return it and buy your own.... you won't regret it especially for the price and savings. You can thank me later.

Easy to set up. Reliable performance. Low cost. I actually have this out in a shed for some WiFi light switches. I didn’t want to spend a lot because i worried the cold air might kill it. So far it hasn’t! It was easy to set up and meets my needs beautifully. I’d certainly consider it for a more typical home use, as well!
