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

5 stars for ease of setup. I set this as an accessory point router. I had a tp-link ac1900 (archer c9) setup previously but the settings got messed up, which was my fault and couldn’t get it set up properly as an access point router again. I bought this and the software guides you through it easy peasy compared to the archer c9.

I bought this router to replace a very old old Cisco router that was having power issues. This new one had a nice cheap price and was very easy to setup using the direct connect web address. (I did not use their app.) All of my old devices instantly connected to the new router with no trouble, with the exception of one myQ garage door opener. I contacted customer service about this door opener. After a few weeks of (polite) back and forth messages, they sent me a beta firmware update that fixed the issue completely. As an extra bonus, the 2.4 GHz range on this new router is superior to my old router giving stronger signals within the far reaches of the house.

This router is pretty good. The power cord is a bit short. It seemed like it was 3 feet IIRC. I bought two of these because I have a nephew that has a hard time going to bed at night. At first I tried to use the parental controls on one of them but he's smart enough to know how to change his MAC address to get around it. I wish there was some way to whitelist valid devices and put all of the other devices in parental timeout mode, but maybe that's too complex. Ended up using the 2nd router and having a universal timeout on that one. I don't think I've had any issues with them since I've set them up. My only real gripe is the short power cords, which can be sorted with a power strip or an extension cord. Overall pretty good product for a pretty good price. Thumbs up.

This gigabit router actually delivers a gigabit if your device is capable of receiving it, it also has 2G band for older smart home stuff, I have had this thing on all day everyday ever since I got it and it still works great

Seems to work for what I need. We always lose cell phone signal in our pole barn that is probably 30 feet from our house even when we are on cellular. We ran Ethernet out to the pole barn and set up the additional router and now we have better signal when we are out there.

Well, I needed a new router as the one for Speculum was blocking a program I need to use, which needs Internet connection to function. Anyway, I had an old Zyxel one which seems to have died, despite hardly ever being used & siting in a cool dry closet for the last several yrs.At any rate, I refuse to pay $100+ for a router or a modem, which is sadly the case for most these days for what reasons, I don't know! So, I looked through what Newegg & Amazon had to offer, & for what was w/in my reasonable price range-under $50! & this one seemed to get great reviews, although I am confused as to how that happened, cause this thing is a useless piece of crap!!🧐🙄😒 I have NEVER had so much difficulty trying to config a router in my nearly 30 yrs of experience w/both computers & networking! I wasted a grand total of over 8 hrs on this thing, & STILL never got it setup! It should take a max of 30 mins to do so!& I need to set a static IP address for the aforementioned prog I needed to get this router for, & everytime I set it, & then hit SAVE, the damn thing timed out, & gave me an error code. I called their USELESS incompetent tech support, & the 'genius' I spoke to there didn't know what the error code even meant! 🤦‍♂️ She said I had to call back later to speak someone who actually knows what they are doing! Not her exact words, but roughly translated from tardo to English, that is what she was saying!🧐 I was exhausted from being up all night, & crashed, & when I woke up several hrs later, I tried in vain yet again! I even DL'd & installed the latest firmware update for it-this had literally NO EFFECT whatsoever on the problem, BTW!🙄😒 & now, it can't even load the settings page at all for this thing, regardless of what IP address you type into the address bar in the webbrowser!🤬 & their useless 'tech support' just basically told me to call my ISP to have them walk me through this problem! Claiming they couldn't help me set a static IP address in it! Not that it even matters when I cannot even get into the router's settings page!🙄😒 & BTW, Speculum refused to give me the static IP address info too!. It's literally just a set of #'s!🙄😒🤦‍♂️At any rate, if Zyxel's current crop of routers weren't all $100+, I'd just buy one of theirs, as their tech support aren't incompetent, & they will actually help you, & their products aren't useless crap!So, I am returning this paperweight, & will buy a diff 1 which is hopefully far better w/far better tech support, & not too expensive, & hopefully actually works w/out crashing everytime you save any settings changes you make, & doesn't fail to open up the IP address page for said settings on the thing too!!BTW, I'd have given tech support 0 stars, but they won't allow you to!

Nice router. Simple set up. Works well as main wifi router, and use with inline extenders. We ordered two and use one for each purpose. Works as should. Were happy with the unit and brand, and good value.

It was a quick install. The signal provided is strong and the router is the right size to hide away from guests. It seems to handle gaming speeds needed. Overall it was effortless to get a WiFi signal going.
