  • I bought this router (AC1900) primarily because of the good reviews!
Style: AC1900, Dual-Band
Sadly I had problems. Right out of the box the router was super easy to install and configure. No problems and no questions. After using it for several hours I noticed the speed was no where near what my old router provided. Comparing the speed when directly connected to the modem and then with a connection to one of the lan ports I found that the speed was less than 10% of the direct connection. I contacted Tech Support, which was very good and they had me do thorough testing (several times). I had changed the default LAN address to 192.168.1.1 from the default. When I changed back to the 192.168.0.1 default I found the speed went up significantly. 70% to 80% of the direct modem connection. Since I expect near 100%, I assumed I must have a defective router. I requested a return from Amazon and within a day I received another router. Hooked it up, did my testing and STILL only 70% - 80% of the max speed. I worked with Tech Support for 5 days with no solutions to my problem. They referred the ticket to the senior support folks but I can't wait on a solution that may never come. Luckily my old router still had WiFi functioning (but no working LAN ports) so I'm still limping along until I decide on a new router. I suggest new buyers do the following as soon as you plug in the router: 1) Update the firmware first thing. 2) Don't make any changes to the default LAN address (yet) 3) Do a speed test between your PC and modem and then do another from one of the LAN ports on the router. Make sure it's pretty close to the modem speed (my old router is between 96% and 99% of max) 4) If all looks good at this point make your changes to the LAN address (if needed) and check again. Hopefully all will be fine. Unfortunately my experience was not so good. ... show more

  • Works with Verizon FiOS
Style: AC1900, Dual-Band
Despite the misgivings of our Verizon technician, whose job is to offer and sell Verizon’s router, I was able to use their ONT box and Ethernet cable with this router, no problems and no hardware tweaking necessary. I had come prepared to adjust it to make it work, but it connected straight out of the box. We save $12/mo on our FiOS bill by using our own router so it will pay for itself in under eight months. Very pleased. Take note, there’s a small paper in the installation box that gives you the router’s initial set-up ID and WPA2 password. Don’t lose it. Once you log onto TP’s website it’s a cakewalk to set up your own security ID/password from there. ... show more

  • NO FRILLS - GREAT SIGNAL - LOW COST TP-Link AC1900
Style: AC1900, Dual-Band
My Netgear router from 2013 was starting to fail so I figured it was time to get a replacement so that I could avoid downtime. I paid about $170 for the Netgear back then, and, after looking at various choices I really wasn't swayed enough to spend the same amount (or more) on its replacement. So I read a bunch of reviews and critiques on non-Negear routers and thought I would take a chance on this model, the TP-Link AC1900 @ $79.95. It arrived the next day and I found it easy to set up (about 10 min). Frankly, I was blown away at the D/L speeds I was getting from this inexpensive device! With our old router, we were able to get 40-50Mps on the opposite side of our house, using several devices and I thought that was pretty good. But with this new router, the D/L speeds shot up to between 180-225 Mps on the 5Ghz band - exceptional. Unless this router craps out in some short period of time, I can recommend this to be the best $80 you could spend for a no-frill basic wireless router. ... show more

  • Does all that I need
Style: AC1900, Dual-Band
I have typically changed ISPs every year or two when they jack up the introductory rates. Each time it is necessary to change passwords on every wireless device and set up a new router with port forwarding, DDNS, etc. The last straw was when I was recently denied access to my ISP's router settings because of their "maintenance". So I decided to get my own router to end that nuisance and meddling. I don't need more speed than required for 2-3 HD video streams, so at less than $100, the TP-Link AC1900 Archer A9 seemed attractive. So in a week the router has been configured without problems for about 5 wired (with an ethernet switch) and 5 wireless devices, including two slingboxes and an industrial temperature monitoring computer requiring static routing and port forwarding with DDNS service. (TP-Link provides its own free dynamic DNS service or for use of NO-IP or DynDNS.) There is a downloadable 112 page user manual with live indexing that seems easy to use, although I've barely touched on topics like VPN and remote management. I do not even know what MIMO may be useful for yet. I have confirmed that the router's WPS button works for easily connecting my wireless printer; and that it also turns the wireless signal off/on if it is pressed more than momentarily. The router's 2.4 GB wireless signal is more than adequate for my house and yard. My Dell laptop speed tests at 20-25 mbps max up/down in most places up to 25 feet away in the house and 50 feet away in the yard when the signal is set to "medium" strength. At 100 feet from the house the signal dropped to about 3 down, 6 up or 12 down, 12 up depending on laptop orientation. On "high" strength the poor orientation values doubled. Similar low speed tests and laptop orientation effects were noted in a bathroom separated from the router by twelve feet and six one inch thick plaster wall layers. In no case would I expect problems streaming a video. My hardwired computer speed tests at 200 Mbps down, 35 up, which is what my ISP provides, so I cannot comment on higher speed results. Nor have I needed any tech support. The router does all that I require, is reasonably priced and has the unexpected bonus of its own free DDNS service. ... show more
