Important information

Legal Disclaimer

Maximum wireless transmission rates are the physical rates derived from IEEE Standard 802.11 specifications. Range and coverage specifications along with the number of connected devices were defined according to test results under normal usage conditions. Actual wireless transmission rate, wireless coverage, and number of connected devices are not guaranteed, and will vary as a result of 1) environmental factors, including building materials, physical objects and obstacles, 2) network conditions, including local interference, volume and density of traffic, product location, network complexity, and network overhead and 3) client limitations, including rated performance, location, connection quality, and client condition. MU-MIMO capability requires both the router and client devices to support MU-MIMO. As compared to warranty duration and tech support services that other leading networking and consumer electronics companies provide.

    Fast WiFi. Easy Setup.

    Fast WiFi. Easy Setup.
    We have been using an Arris SurfBoard SBG7600AC2 for a few months. We started having issues with the WiFi signal dropping out at least every day, sometimes multiple times a day. Each time I would have to unplug / reset the modem / router. Not fun if you're in the middle of binge watching Netflix. I did some research and found the well known problems with routers and modems using the Intel Puma chipset. Intel should be ashamed. They've known about the faulty chipsets for years and continue to sell their garbage. More research into the alternative products and we found this router. Highly rated by every review site such as Tom's Hardware and PC Mag. Excellent reviews on Amazon. I was really tempted to buy one with the A7 or A9 chipset... If the A6 chipset is as great as everyone says, then it stands to reason the A7 and A9 should be even better... right? Not entirely true. Sure, I could have paid $300 for the latest and greatest technology but the A7 was actually older and had less tech than the A6. I struggled with my decision... How could a $40 router be better than a $120 router.... I ordered the $40 router with the knowledge that I could always return it and spend the extra $$ for the bigger better version. I have a background as a microsoft systems engineer and cisco certified eng. so I'm not completely stupid no matter what the wife tells you. So... this $40 router is surprisingly good..... as in REALLY GOOD! Setup involved my iPhone downloading their app, setting up an account and setting a password. I snapped a photo of the info sticker on the bottom of the router for the network ID and password. I logged onto the wifi with my iPhone, launched the app... it found the router and after a few simple questions the process was complete. The software interface is basic compared to more robust routers, but for 95% of home users it's all and maybe even more control than you'll ever truly use. We kept the old Arris and we're using it as the cable modem only...** IMPORTANT BITS HERE** turned off the wifi signals inside the old Arris modem / router for both the 2.4 ghz and the 5 ghz wifi so it wouldn't interfere with the new TP-Link router. We have strong signals throughout the house (2000 sq ft 3 level). Really impressed so far.... I'll update if I see any issues.... still skeptical of a $40 router being this good. **UPDATE** Ran multiple speed tests from different sites... all were within a few mbs of 200 mb download.
