Excellent router. Highly recommend! Easy to use. Easy to set up. Great security features! 2G, 5G, and 6G. It does run a couple of degrees warmer than the older dual mode routers, but if you don't put it in an enclosed area such as above a drop ceiling with no side openings for a little ventilation, you will never have to worry. Ours is above the drop ceiling in a wall corner in the middle of our home and it stays the same temp as the rest of the house because it does have an opening on the other side of the wall (storage area) for some ventilation.

This is a nice router and pretty easy to setup. I replaced my Spectrum router because devices kept falling off Wi-Fi, and this one has worked really well so far. A little tricky to setup at first because my network with Spectrum router was 192.168.1.1. But after I logged on I was able to change from 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.1.1 pretty easy. So far all 75 devices came online and have been working perfectly. Well worth the upgrade.

Nice router, great connection.\nSpeeds are good if you have 5g or 6g. It does not do well to connect 2.4 g, many times the network is not responding.When things are on 2.4ghz. advertisement says it's backwards compatible down, but it is lacking in this capability.

So far the worst wireless router I have purchased and installed. Something with this router does not like my PS5 and the test speeds are horrible. This router also has something against my work laptop VPN and my work laptop speeds even right next to the the wireless router are horrible. I have tried port forwarding, changing the MTU size settings, and setting static IP addresses. Very disappointed for the price. I went as far as looking up every port critical to functionality and opening each of them up. This is a security risk waiting to happen and it should not be like this. Now when on wifi with my phone I can get great speeds down load and upload, and then switch to other devices while nothing else is using the bandwidth and my speeds drop from MBPS to KBPS there is something wrong and this had been from the out of box settings and set up all the way through all the changes just to try to make it work. Direct internet speeds without going through this are between 400-500mbps Down load and upload. So why the extreme drop going through this wifi router? Yes I also made sure all firmware has been updated. Coverage and every thing else works fine except for those 2 devices. Do not know what to do next. Updated 02/18/2026 My wife (a desktop support specialist) tried calling and chatting with TP several times and their advice was less than helpful. Never buying this brand again. Buying a new one different brand. we'll see how that goes and that will be a real test...

This is a pretty powerful router with some pros and cons. Pros: fastest router that I have had, both for wireless and direct connections I'm getting faster than 1 GB transfers. Was fairly easy to set up with lots of extra features including the choice of having a 2.4, 5 GHz and 6. Cons: Connectivity is not the best I've ever had. Things drop off and then back on and then drop off sporadically during the day. This could be for a few reasons though it seems to happen regardless of which network I use the slower to the fastest. I've managed to stabilize it a little bit better with firmware updates and organizing what's on the 2.4 and what's on the 5 GHz but even if things are close to it, there's still a lot of disconnect and reconnections which Rex havoc with some of my govee wireless switches and some devices. Changing channels made it a little better but still has consistency issues. Much better than what it was but it's still there. It could be a technical issue that I'm not aware of or settings cuz there's a lot and you can go pretty deep down the rabbit hole. Even though I'm pretty technically savvy there's still some things that I easily could have missed. My house is rather large but the inconsistency is not a distance issue. Final comment: A very fast relatively easy to set up router that if you are getting high bandwidth from your internet service provider or you want to transfer documents whether wired or wireless from one device to another, it has excellent speed. Downsides are it could be getting interference from multiple wireless networks in my area and multiple channels being used. Not really sure if that's it or if there's something particularly wrong with this device but when it's working and you have a solid connection it's the fastest router I've had and it's mostly consistent on 5 GHz, 2.4 seems to be sporadic.

I disconnected my old Linksys 3200mx and plugged everything in directly to the new router. I downloaded the app and within 5 minutes even was setup. It took another 15b minutes setting 3 fire tvs and 2 computers and a phone to the new router. I was a linksys ride or die. I had 2 very high end routers take a dump on me. I seen how high this was rated and took the plunge. Its looking great so far. The App is way easier to navigate and setup was a breeze. If this router doesn't work I'll be sure to update this. In the mean time I'll update on differences I notice.

This router changed the Wi-Fi performance in my whole house. Absolutely worth it. My house is older, and getting a strong, reliable signal throughout the place has been a pain. I had been fighting weak connections, inconsistent speeds, and the usual frustration that comes with trying to make modern internet work through an older structure. After setting up this TP-Link WiFi 7 router, the difference was immediate. Speeds are much better, the connection is more stable, and coverage across the house is noticeably improved. Devices connect cleanly, streaming and downloads are smoother, and the whole network feels faster and more reliable. It is one of those upgrades where you can tell right away that it was money well spent. Setup was straightforward, and the features are solid without making the router feel overly complicated. The 10G and 2.5G ports are also nice to have for future-proofing and wired devices. If you are tired of fighting bad Wi-Fi, especially in an older home, this is a serious upgrade. It changed the way my whole house connects, and I would buy it again without hesitation.

Yay. I love my new router. I have a lot of smarthome devices, and I host a home web/game server for work. I was very afraid that my port forwarding/dynamic DNS and smarthome would be a pain to migrate to a new router. I was wrong. I used the same network name and password as my old router, and all of my devices reconnected fine (except one chinese security camera which i fixed after). The range is as decent as my old Netgear Nighthawk R7000. The lower frequencies (2.4ghz) have higher range and are better for that. But for processing power of a router, this is it baby. This thing increased my network speed by ~100mbps down and also decreased my latency, pretty impressive. This thing will easily be able to handle all of my smart home devices, server needs and gaming/streaming needs. I think it was a worthy upgrade from my 13yr old router. Quick setup tip: make sure to power down your modem and router first, because your modem is expecting the previous routers MAC address, so you might have to call your ISP and have them send a reboot signal from their end to get your modem to accept the new router MAC address. Other than that, setup was a breeze. Dynamic DNS works well, port forwarding was easy, and there are SO many features I haven't even looked into yet. I also have a TP-LINK network switch, and the router and switch are playing nicely together. All and all, I had netgear routers for like 20 years and they were great, i'm pleased to say that TP-LINK is also great, time will tell though.

It is good quality, and wifi 6 can reach as far as 25 meters inside concrete building. drawbacks for me, i have to control it through a third party, and multiple of subscription options. It realy did not feel private at all.

Good signal with optional IoT network, well made, good value. Easy to use. Integrates with TPlink app which works well. Highly recommended for WiFi 7 on a budget. Note comes with US plug, so needs a UK plug separately
