Looking for a router to cover all of your wireless gadgets? Does your family home/apt have multiple iPads, tablets, TVs, wireless electronic timers, or a wireless thermostat? Then you should consider the TP-Link AD7200 router! This device provides a strong signal in the 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequencies plus it has the 60GHz band. My family has been extremely satisfied since I upgraded our router about two weeks ago.
I started my search for a router about three months ago when my wife asked how we could operate a driveway entry gate to our home. After doing some research I found we could do some of the following:
- trench a set of telephone wires back to our house (which connects to the home phone)
- install a unit that connects with a cellular connection (pay a month cellular fee)
- install a wireless unit such as the RING doorbell (connects to cell phone w/ video anywhere in the world)
The third option looked best for me as digging a line back to the house to use a landline phone to open a gate sounded outdated. Using a cellular GSM 2G or 3G connection would require a monthly fee…usually around $15. That’s $180 a year just to open a driveway gate, which doesn’t sound appealing at all. I am still working out the final plans on the third choice with our contractor, but in the meantime on with the review.
So, I wanted to boost the wi-fi signal to the front edge of my driveway. My previous router (TP-Link Wireless Gigabit Archer C8 AC1750 Router) had been working fine for the past few years, but the signal wasn’t strong enough to reach out front. I decided to search on Amazon for the latest routers and decided to go with TP-Link again. I have used other brands such as: Netgear, ASUS, and Linksys, and had pretty good success over the years, but since TP-Link had never given me a dropped signal or any other router issues, I went with this company again.
The AD7200 router was ordered via Amazon Prime and was delivered promptly (as expected). The packaging was easy to open and everything was laid out…router, manual, and power adapter. I connected the router to my cable modem and with some additional easy-to-follow-instructions I was up and running. Incidentally, I prepared the family that as I was switching out routers and the internet would be down for approximately one hour…of course, my two children looked puzzled! What were they to do for an hour?!?!? No YouTube, no Netflix, no Amazon video!!! I assured them everything would be fine and the world would still exist and to do things I used to do in the non-electronic age…plays with toy cars, play on the swings, or read a book! Fortunately for our family, we limit their electronic time anyway…it was pretty amusing to me at that moment!
Now as for the AD7200 router…I am not an I.T. guy and my background is not in computer science, so I would like to share my observations from a non-scientific perspective. Upon plugging in the router, I connected one LAN port straight to my PC. That connection in itself (loading web pages) was faster with this router than my previous router. Is it due to the faster processor? I believe so but not sure. In terms of the wireless connections, I found coverage and speeds were excellent…a boost over the previous router. Things to consider:
- When using the TP-Link web-interfaced menu, you can select with frequencies you want turned on/off. For example, I don’t have any AD 60GHz equipment for now, so that freq was turned off. I am using 2.4GHz and 5GHz, so those were left on.
- I made sure I selected DIFFERENT passwords for the 2.4GHz & 5GHz frequencies. I had previously encountered a problem with my Rachio Smart Sprinkler 2nd Generation and getting it to connect to my router. The problem, which was later discovered, was that the unit was trying to jump frequencies to select the best signal…even though it operates only on 2.4GHz. They recommended selecting different passwords for each band. So, for example, if you are using a WPA2 configuration you could use 0123456789 as the password for the 2.4GHz band and 0123456788 as the password for the 5GHz band. The only thing I changed was the last two digits for each. This was only to illustrate making two different passwords as I don’t recommend you secure your router this way. Now, in making those changes and setting up all the devices in my house, I have noticed when multiple devices are being used, nothing is lagging…music is streaming, videos are playing, and the kids have no issues with their games.
- One change I made with the kids iPads, I selected the 5GHz band first and then the 2.4GHz second. Since the children are in the house with their iPads, the less commonly used frequency and now strong signal is a better choice for them. Other observations include: My wireless Venstar thermostat displayed a stronger wireless signal, there was an increase in signal strength (vs the previous router) in the far corners of our home (approx 2500 sqft), and the main reason for upgrading….a very strong signal to the front driveway!
I am positive the upgraded technology is behind the great connections and seamless upgrade process. TP-Link did a great job in making it easy for me to switch out routers and with the upgrade taking LESS than one hour, the kids were happy! A few more things to add…the router is big…not huge but big and odd but it can be wall mounted as another option. I opted for taking a corner on my home desk. TP-Link also toned down the blue lights that a lot of companies like to use. Instead of making your room a bright blue at night, their router has tiny blue dots that produce a soft glow…much better! The last point is the power adapter. The AD7200 uses the least amount of energy out of their current router line-up. I was surprised that a router can consume 30w and up….constantly! I picture a 40 watt light bulb being left on at home while I’m not there. Take a look at the power adapters on some of your items (cable modem, router, switch, DVR) and see how much electricity they consume.
Also, some people claim routers or cable modems may be the result of a signal drop from their ISP. Always consider the age of your cable being ran into the house/apt. A co-worker described to me a frequent, dropping internet connection. He requested a cable company employee come out for service. An employee came out and blamed his router. After the worker left, the same problem returned…he called the company again and another technician came out. The second tech traced the problem back to the cable at the pole running into his house. After replacing the line with fresh wire, he no longer had issues…something to think about!
I highly recommend this router!
***** SUMMARY *****
Pos:
- Increased signal coverage vs my previous router
- Faster speeds when downloading and no lag
- Consumes less power vs my previous adapter
- No noticeable heat…my previous router didn’t have this issue as well
- Soft blue lights up front, not blinding bright
Con:
- Expensive since it incorporates the AD 60GHz band, which I don’t use…for now
Recently I had one arbitrarily lock up and upon rebooting was simply bricked. Tried all the normal stuff, 30-30-30 resets and the like and nothing. It will not even begin to boot. So I start down the road of getting an RMA to return it. After calling and being on hold forever, get disconnected. Call back, busy. Call back, on hold again. Finally get to tech support who sends an email form for me to fill out. Fill it out and send it back expecting to get an RMA number. Instead get ANOTHER email back asking for another filled in form. Do that and 3 days later still no RMA number. Meanwhile NO ROUTER! Email them again asking where my RMA number is and no response.
With Netgear or any other company, I have never had trouble getting an RMA number. Now long are consumers supposed to wait especially when Internet for many people is pretty important? This is unacceptable. In addition to the unit being a serious POS, their service is even worse.
Stick with Netgear or some other brand. I ended up giving up and just getting an R8500, the latest Made in Viet version and it has been rock solid, including its 2.4GHz channels which were supposedly a problem. Signal strength is better, never crashes, never drops connections, doesn't lock up when you hang a USB HDD off it...aka it works like it is supposed to. And if it ever doesn't, I know Netgear will not give me the run around.
Never again TP-Link!
UPDATE: Several more days, more follow up emails STILL NO RMA number. Meanwhile the remaining 2 TP-Link AD7200 crash frequently and require power cycling. These are the buggiest routers I have ever used.
UPDATE JULY 2017 - The AD7200 at my office still crashes at least weekly, losing WAN connectivity requiring a power cycle. My other line I am running a Netgear R8500 as a replacement and that thing is bulletproof...NEVER AGAIN TP-LINK!
UPDATE OCT 2017 - My Netgear R8500 still rock solid while my TP-Link AD7200s still crash once every 4 or 5 days requiring me to physically unplug the power and plug it back in.
AVOID TP-LINK AT ALL COSTS!
