Title: Easy setup, works great
Review: Needed to replace a damaged router asap. Shipping was super fast. Set up was a breeze. My devices easily recognized the router. Signal is strong although I do need an extender to reach the far side of my house. This is an overall solid router and the price was right.

Title: Good Quality Wireless Router
Review: Love this router. My old router (lasted 6 years) was a TP-Link. When it died, I replaced it with this one. I am not a techie, but this was really simple to set up. I don't like using apps (I am 78 and resistant to all this high tech stuff) so I did not download the installation app. I just connected it to my cable modem and it activated. Then I looked for the tp-link network on my desktop computer, logged in with the password included with the router, and was able to change the network name and password to what I wanted. And my desktop wireless computer was connected to the internet. Then I hooked our phones, laptop, and security cameras to that network. And it works great!

Title: Works Very Nicely
Review: My tp-link router only worked four days before it shut itself down and reset itself to factory settings. It also randomly turns off the wireless broadcast on both channels. After several chat sessions with tp-link support staff, I am getting a replacement unit. From all the positive reviews of this router, I guess it is rare to get such an unreliable unit. My opinion of the Archer A8 may improve if the replacement unit lives up to expectations. While it is up, WiFi coverage throughout my house and around my entire property is quite good, allowing me to eliminate the use of an extender, that was needed with the prior wireless router. The AC1900 spec should be good for many years, and this router has the latest security protections. Setup was simple and straightforward. Tech support is acceptable using their chat feature, but wait times can be a bit lengthy, and it seems that the techs are dealing with several customers at once, with some serious lag time between questions and answers. However, the techs were very polite, even as I became increasingly demanding. My advice is that if you ever need to use tech support, keep a copy of every chat and every case number they give you.UPDATE: I received a replacement router under warranty, and still had some issues initially. Another chat session with the techs uncovered an issue with the way I had set up my network, and now all is working well. As it turns out, the two broadcast bands, 2.4GHz and 5.0GHz, need to have different network names, or SSIDs. I guess we are all system administrators now, with our increasingly complex tech. There were still some unexplained issues with that first unit, and I do not feel bad about asking for a replacement under warranty. My rating of this product has now been raised from one star to 4 stars after these latest developments.

Title: Works beyond my expectaitons
Review: Easy setup, started playing with my access points and all devices with no issues.Only speed bump I hit was it would not communicate with my Spectrum Modem until I power cycled the Modem. The reset button did nothing.WIFI range and signal strength were notably better than my older Modem (replaced because it only had slow 10/100 LAN ports).

Title: Perfect and easy setup
Review: Plug it in and it works (using the preprogrammed SSID/password on underbelly of unit).Of course you can change SSID/password.I connected three laptops and TV plus my phone. This is snappy and huge impact compared to old 54 Mbps router from a different brand. Specifically, here are the data i got (and could notice with noticable speed and TV quality and response):2.4 GHz radio:Transmit: 96 MbpsReceive: 86 Mbps5.4 GHz radio (here are my laptops and TV) while connected to my devices:Transmit: 433 MbpsReceive: 390 Mbps.This is more than 10 times faster than my old connection on 5G. This router connects to Starlink.100% recommend. Love it for less than $60 unbeatable. Best router ever for me.

Title: Great router for the money
Review: Spectrum's router was giving me nothing but trouble, and I finally had enough! Decided to buy this router and it has been flawless. I haven't had to re-boot it since I bought it a couple of months ago. It has about 14 devices on it at all times, including our phones, 3 FireTVs, a couple of laptops, security system, thermostat and home controls. It has no problem running all that stuff. Love it.
