Budget friendly Router for multiple devices at home
Pros :-1. Quick hassle-free setup2. Great Build3. Lightweight4. Vibrant Black finish5. Faster boot up time6. Extremely faster network speed across all connected device without latency7. Consistent and reliable connectivity across prolonged period of time8. Highly recommended for Gaming and streaming9. Backward compatibility for 2.4 Ghz devices is such a great deal10. WPA3 encryption is top notch11. WiFi 6 – the latest in the spectrum (well, almost)12. Reaches almost equal to service providers speed when tested with Speed Test (sometimes exceeds too)Cons :-1. Router heats up a lot (expected behavior for the product)2. 5 Ghz bands distance is too short since the connected device goes into 2.4 Ghz once we move further away from the routerVerdict :-Best of the best in the market for home usage with multiple device connectivity without latency.Highly recommended to go for it without any second thoughts!Thank you TP-Link for creating this spectacular product!

Absolutely buggy firmware and weak signal – AVOID PURCHASING THIS!
UPDATE:After about a year of use, I can confirm that most of the issues I had listed earlier are resolved with the recent firmware updates, and I’m therefore bumping the rating to 4 stars.OneMesh is now supported, and the frequent disconnection issue has drastically gone down. The only continuing issue now is the relatively weaker signal strength even when it is set to ‘highest’ power setting, compared to my earlier 2-antennae routers.But another new issue I wish to highlight: If you are considering getting an extender for this, note that despite Wi-Fi 6 devices being around for a while now, the AX extenders are still exorbitantly priced, and you might be forced to get a Wi-Fi 5 (AC) extender, which defeats the whole purpose of getting a Wi-Fi 6 router in the first place.ORIGINAL REVIEW:I decided to go for this model of TP-Link router because of its Wi-Fi 6 capabilities despite some ominous warnings posted in some reviews. And this purchase turned out to be an unmitigated disaster! Let me list some of the terrible experiences I have faced using this router.1) The 5GHz band fails more often than it works, and if you have a typical Indian house with cement & stone walls, make sure you aren’t more than 1 wall away from the router. My router is placed in one room adjoining a central hall. The central room gets the 5 GHz signal, but the other rooms surrounding this central hall barely get a sliver of 5 GHz once in a while, but even if I manage to connect, my devices lose the connection within a couple of minutes.2) Now, talking of the other band, i.e. 2.4 GHz: As surprising as it might seem, despite the 4 antennas to make you believe the signal is powerful, it is not! My old Digisol router with 2 antenna had better coverage around the house that this piece of junk. I now get just 2 (out of 4) bars of signal in rooms in the same locations where I used to get 3 bars with my old 2-antenna router. And even then there are frequent disconnections.3) This brings me to the other (and the biggest) issue with the router: unbearably frequent Wi-Fi disconnections. Even though the router has been configured correctly, the WiFi (both 2.4 and 5 GHz bands) keeps dropping once every 20 or so minutes on good days, and at least once every minute on other days. When I run the network troubleshooters on the laptops, I get the diagnosis either as “The default gateway is not available” or “Problem with wireless adapter or access point”. Initially, I wasn’t sure what the issue was, but once I started browsing the TP-Link forum, I realized this is a common issue faced by users, but TP-Link continues to sell this garbage despite knowing how terrible it is! Just to clarify, I have already updated the firmware to the latest version as they recommend, but it does not seem to be helping (like for so many other people on that forum too). Turning the router off and on only resolves the issue for a few minutes and then it goes back to its old ways. Interestingly, the internet is fine if you connect to the LAN ports; it is just the wireless that seems to be completely messed up.To list some pros and summarize this review…PRO:* Value for money for a Wi-Fi 6 device (at least when it works) since Wi-Fi 6 is the future and you would be better off buying Wi-Fi 6 routers instead of Wi-Fi 5 moving forward* The Tether app of TP-Link makes it a breeze to set up the router* While some people have reported heating issues, I have not seen this on my device; it actually stays cool even after prolonged usageCON:* 5 GHz band is a joke and has terrible range* 2.4 GHz band is actually weaker than many 2-antenna routers irrespective of the antenna positions* Firmware is terrible and you can expect frequent disconnections of internet in your devices connected to this router* No OneMesh support for nowAll in all, strongly recommend everyone to avoid this router at all cost. FWIW, I have a BSNL ONT connected to this router with a 100 Mbps connection. BSNL ironically recommends (Chinese) TP-Link to be the most compatible router for their FTTH connections, but even then, go for some other TP-Link router instead of this.

Superou todas as minhas expectativas! O desempenho do roteador é ótimo, fácil de configurar (lembrando que um leigo no assunto pode ter dificuldades ou configurar de forma errada qualquer roteador de qualquer marca), o alcance e velocidade do wi-fi é ótimo (a casa onde moro é enorme e praticamente pega na casa – fica instalado no meio da casa), tem o aplicativo theater da tplink, que você cria uma conta, atrela ao roteador e pode gerenciar o mesmo pela nuvem. Conectei varios dispositivos, deixei ligado por vários dias e não travou em nenhum momento! O firmware atualiza automaticamente, alem de varios recursos otimos. Muito bom, super indico.

Works perfectly! I liked some of the controls on my old netgear app and it will take a bit to get used to. The thing I like is that the router doesn’t drop Wi-Fi for no reason. Much better than my old R7000.
