Cable Internet Wifi Router

[256 MB] I wanted an inexpensive non-WiFi router to terminate my cable modem's Internet output. This is a nicely-constructed, small device that is working great for me. Initially, I had a problem with the router establishing a connection with my Internet provider's network, but TP-Link's support was immediately available and was very good in helping me resolve it.

[90%] This modem/router is easy to set up and has greatly enhanced my home internet wifi experience. I definitely recommend it for anyone looking to upgrade to a new router/modem combo device.

[Internal] Purchased this router after upgrading internet service to gigabit internet and replacing an old but reliable Netgear R7000 that did not have the more advanced WiFi 6E capability. I am now getting much faster WiFi speeds and more devices communicating simultaneously with this router's advanced capabilities. I highly recommend that you thoroughly review all of the features of this router to configure for get optimal performance on your network.

[Mesh] My internet providers weak router signal was fixed with this WiFi extender. Working great now.

[256 MB] Satisfied with this Router. Wifi 6 is a must have.

[9.68 lb] You can't go wrong with this router. Wifi 7 is fast.

[120 VAC, 60 Hz] It's nice to have 1 system to run internet instead of separate cable modem and router. Setup was easy to follow, and app assisted in the process.

[9.5 x 9 x 7.3"] [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Since upgrading from using our cable company’s router to the NETGEAR Orbi mesh router system, our home internet has been much more reliable. I am now able to watch tv services which is streamed without any interruption and my internet connection for work is much more stable.

[Yes] Superb upgrade. You can really tell how much faster the internet is with this router.

[AU, CLAP, VST2] I've been using TP Link for over 8 years now. Prior was using ASUS. I upgraded from Archer CX3200 to this router. This router has a single 2.4 and a single 5 ghz band, but it supports wifi6 which can output over 4200 MBS. First i connected this router to my laptop by ethernet cable. I then used my wifi on the laptop to download in sequence the TP Link firmware updates to my laptop. I then tuend off the wifi and connected by wire to the laptop. to do this easily, I assigned an IP4 address and gateway to my laptop ethernet adapter. The router by default is 192.168.0.1 The box contains the administrator username and password. I kept the router's wifi signals off. Next after logging in, I updated the firmware to the current level, assigned the fixed ip address and max addresses to the new router I was using on my old router. I set up the wifi network names and passwords, guest networks, checked the signal strengths and channels being used in my area and set my wifi to the clearest channel bands. I set up my vpn, firewalls, etc. I set my dns to my preferred public dns and I set up my DHCP server for the range I like. Then I set the router's ip address to 192.168.1.1, shut it down. disconnected my old router, shut down my cable modem, connected the new router, powered it up and then powered up my cable modem. Since my wifi network names and passwords were the same, my devices connected. Also, I enabled the UNP on this router and all of my devices with port forwarding worked well without a glitch. My phone connected at wifi6 band and downloaded at over 600 mbs 15 feet from the router. A big plus for this router is the ability to set up a VPN client and server and specify several VPN connections as well as which devices you want to always use the VPN to pass traffic. For the money, its fast and stable.
