Range and coverage specifications along with the number of connected devices were defined according to test results under normal usage conditions.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
We moved to the middle of nowhere about 7 years ago and it never occurred to us to check who provided TV/internet/phone at the new house before buying. We found out after buying the house that the only providers were satellite companies. We realized very quickly that first year that satellite sucks, the internet specifically. We got locked into a $75 a month plan with HughesNet for a year and never once were able to actually use the internet that whole year. It was really frustrating. We simply did not have home internet for the past 6 years due to a lack of a decent provider. This past week Spectrum finally moved their service to our road. We immediately signed up. I knew I wasn't paying them $5 a month to rent a router from them but I also wasn't sure at all how to pick out a router myself. I've always been pretty tech savvy but when you lose access(and a need) to those things you stop keeping up with them, I was seriously behind on all the new updates that have been made over the last several years. I knew I didn't want to spend more than $50 on a router and after doing some research I finally decided on this TP-Link AC1200 and basically just hoped for the best. Some of the reviews weren't great so I was nervous. It arrived a day after our internet was installed so I set it up by myself. It took me all of 20 mins from unboxing to the whole house having Wi-Fi, it was VERY easy. I love that it has it's own app, a very convenient feature. We live in a 2000sq. ft., one floor, manufactured home. These homes have pretty thin walls so the signal reaches from one end to the other very easily. We are also extremely heavy on our data usage in this family and while it's only been a couple of days now it has had zero trouble keeping up with us. We've had zero buffering while streaming & using our phones, everything has been working very quickly. We have several smart TVs, cell phones, a laptop, a printer & a PS4 connected to it at the moment. The technician from Spectrum who installed our internet also said this was a good option for our 200mbps plan. I hope this helps someone make up their mind on whether this router will be a good choice for them. I will update the review if anything changes but as of now this seems to have been a pretty solid purchase and I'm happy with it.
1) the app isn't very intuitive in helping to set it up, and the app didn't see/find the router, again and again. It was very frustrating.
ADVICE: Once you downloaded the app and when you see "No device found" message, don't bother with refreshing the screen (as suggested by the app). Instead, press the large + sign in the upper right corner of the app screen, then it will take you easily all the way through. App's developers should fix this flaw, in my opinion.
2) it takes a long time for the router to "warm up" before all 4 green lights become steady - I'm referring mainly to light #5, from left to right (there are 6 of them, #s 1,2,3, and 5 should be steady green). It took maybe 7 min or longer for that light to become steady. That's too long, in my view. Yet, it will work.
ADVICE- plug in the cable from the modem, turn on, and leave it for a while.
3) I'm yet to remove all plastic wrappings of the four antennas - one is fully unwrapped and one other only partially. Why? It is really "sticky" or tight, and I'm yet to figure out how to remove the plastic without scratching the antennas.
ADVICE: maybe just leave it alone. The router works just fine with some antennas wrapped in plastic. Had I known that, I'd have left the wrapping alone because it still looks pretty and tidy with the plastic, like a second skin. But now I have to finish unwrapping because it looks ugly.
4) The tech support is dismal. You are either put on hold forever or you get silly and unhelpful questions from the chat tech support with periods of long wait in between.
ADVICE: don't count on it.
All in all, I'm holding off my original, frustration-based desire to return the router to Amazon (I love Amazon!!!).
Pros:
1) it provides a very strong signal, so far two weeks in a row, flawlessly, at 40-60 mbp down/20-30 up, depending on the source conditions/traffic, I guess, because on good days it is 106 / 57. I have four devices on, by the way.
2) Coverage - unbelievable for this device: my place is 12,000 sq ft. In any room, any location, including bathroom and so on, the signal is strong (My Mac indicates no loss in signal strength, but my chromebook points to the reduction in the number of bars: 5 in the kitchen, 4 in the bedroom, 3 on the patio; but the speed test indicates no deterioration in speed; not sure what to make of that). The router is in the kitchen, and no impact on the signal despite all appliances around. The kitchen is in the central location of the house. Also, In the garage, which is below the living floor, - the signal is great everywhere. In addition, which is like, mama mia, the signal is strong in the back of the backyard (40x25ft), too. That means that the router covers 12000+1000 sq ft. !!!. No need to buy more expensive router.
3) The router is silent - totally so.
4) Good looking device - shiny, black, rather small and unobtrusive footprint. Really nice to look at. It sits on metal shelf of the kitchen "buffet."

Router will randomly decide to reset (drop all connection and essentially power cycle) every 15-20 min. You can imagine how that went over trying to work from home and holding bid conference calls.
Total junk, buyer beware. Hopefully if yours is like mine, it shows within 30 days unlike myself.
So, after searching and comparing many different brands, I chose this router because it was cost-friendly and seemed to have potential. I bought it and it arrived within the week (I think it was just a few days, if I recall correctly. Fast shipping!) So, I hooked it all up to my modem and my PC and followed the setup instructions, which were quite easy to follow. I don't have a disc reader on my PC, so I just went onto their website and found the correct installer easily. (Looked under Support and Download Center, type in your model # and there it is)
After everything was all set up, I noticed the speeds or downloads increased drastically! I tested it by downloading a game update to my xbox which were previously at average speeds of 600Kbps, and were now at average speeds of 20Mbps with occasional random boosts up to 130+Mbps. Which was the most shocking part. We never get speeds like that around these rural parts, so that is considered pretty good around here! (I can only imagine how fast it would be with a hardwired/fiber optics connection.) Videos now load quite quickly with no buffer time and browsing the web runs so much more smoothly with no wait time. Truthfully, there is still a tiny bit of lag when gaming online, about a half second; However, I blame that on the satellite internet. Luckily, it's nothing like it was before the router. In addition to the increased speeds, I find we can now have many devices connected at once with little to no disruption to the bandwidth. Albeit, we only have 1 Xbox and 1 PC hardwired, and 1 Xbox and 3 cellphones connected via Wi-Fi at any given time. I could not believe the difference this one router did to our satellite internet. I am extremely satisfied with my purchase and would definitely recommend it.
Also the range is kind of crap.
EDIT: You need to install a *beta* firmware if you want better service for 1gbps!!! WTF?! no! My other router died because of a firmware update. I'm not doing that just to get what I supposedly PAID FOR.
I get satisfying speeds in my house but I don't game online so I cannot huge if enough or not.
