Perfect device. Setup once and forget.
It’s been over half a year since I’ve bought this, and it has not once malfunctioned. Initially just wanted to get rid of using a Cat-5e cable for my pc and have it as a dedicated router but it has outperformed my other routers to the point where I use all my devices – phone, VR headset etc. – with just this router.
Even when comparing to a cable connection, I could not tell the difference even in intensive usage competitive games and streaming. Setup was quite simple and straightforward, and TP-link has sufficient setting options. The multiple frequency is a neat and functional feature. Totally worth the buy and it’s relatively inexpensive too!

A Little Trouble Installing but is Working Well
I purchased this to use as an access point replacing a much older router being used for the same purpose. My main router is also a TP-Link. These routers have a mode in the software specifically to be used this way.
I had a little trouble setting it up. The first time I tried to configure the mode, it didn’t seem like it took and the router got stuck saving the configuration. I kept getting “unknown error”. This was while trying to access it by connecting directly to an ethernet port from a PC as the instruction said to do. However, I just plugged it into my main router and was able to login to the main router to see the new router’s IP address (which it connected to with no problem). Then I just used that IP address from my browser from a PC on the network to login to the new router. Once I did that I had no problem setting up the configuration and it was super fast. Once that was done and I set up my WiFi networks everything worked perfectly. Now it is working correctly as an access point, plugged into the main router by ethernet, with 3 devices plugged into the other ethernet ports and more devices using it as a WiFi connection.
The connection seems better than my old router which is what I was looking for.

After 2 years still running perfect
I’ve had this router for 2 years in constant use. Never had a problem related to the router. I have of course had some problems with my Spectrum internet service but if my internet is up the router always works. I have never needed to contact tec support or reboot the router to keep good WiFi or wired internet.
As for coverage I live in a larger 2 bedroom condo all on one floor, I don’t know the exact square footage. The router is not centrally located but I still get good coverage throughout. My WiFi speed is only 50Mps (ð I know but that’s enough for me) and I receive that speed on wireless everywhere in the condo.
I also like that I can do a direct setup through the router webpage without the need for a phone app. In fact WiFi access to the router settings is turned off. I believe security is much better, as you need to physically access the router to make any changes to the settings.
I know that mesh routers are the hot ticket right now but if you don’t need the extra coverage, a plain old stand alone router is the easiest most problem free way to go. So simple a cave man can do it.

Best coverage
Great router it’s covers my entire house which is 2000 sqft . I have camera’s in front the house and in the backyard and the signal is great . It has great feature that you can adjust the transmit power for the antenna that way you don’t harm yourself with higher frequency. I’m sensitive to high frequency radio wave and gives me headaches and other health issues.but this router is great .

Kind of expensive for a paperweight!ð¤ð¤¨ðð
Well, I needed a new router as the one for Speculum was blocking a program I need to use, which needs Internet connection to function. Anyway, I had an old Zyxel one which seems to have died, despite hardly ever being used & siting in a cool dry closet for the last several yrs.
At any rate, I refuse to pay $100+ for a router or a modem, which is sadly the case for most these days for what reasons, I don’t know! So, I looked through what Newegg & Amazon had to offer, & for what was w/in my reasonable price range-under $50! & this one seemed to get great reviews, although I am confused as to how that happened, cause this thing is a useless piece of crap!!ð§ðð I have NEVER had so much difficulty trying to config a router in my nearly 30 yrs of experience w/both computers & networking! I wasted a grand total of over 8 hrs on this thing, & STILL never got it setup! It should take a max of 30 mins to do so!
& I need to set a static IP address for the aforementioned prog I needed to get this router for, & everytime I set it, & then hit SAVE, the damn thing timed out, & gave me an error code. I called their USELESS incompetent tech support, & the ‘genius’ I spoke to there didn’t know what the error code even meant! ð¤¦ââï¸ She said I had to call back later to speak someone who actually knows what they are doing! Not her exact words, but roughly translated from tardo to English, that is what she was saying!ð§ I was exhausted from being up all night, & crashed, & when I woke up several hrs later, I tried in vain yet again! I even DL’d & installed the latest firmware update for it-this had literally NO EFFECT whatsoever on the problem, BTW!ðð & now, it can’t even load the settings page at all for this thing, regardless of what IP address you type into the address bar in the webbrowser!𤬠& their useless ‘tech support’ just basically told me to call my ISP to have them walk me through this problem! Claiming they couldn’t help me set a static IP address in it! Not that it even matters when I cannot even get into the router’s settings page!ðð & BTW, Speculum refused to give me the static IP address info too!. It’s literally just a set of #’s!ððð¤¦ââï¸
At any rate, if Zyxel’s current crop of routers weren’t all $100+, I’d just buy one of theirs, as their tech support aren’t incompetent, & they will actually help you, & their products aren’t useless crap!
So, I am returning this paperweight, & will buy a diff 1 which is hopefully far better w/far better tech support, & not too expensive, & hopefully actually works w/out crashing everytime you save any settings changes you make, & doesn’t fail to open up the IP address page for said settings on the thing too!!
BTW, I’d have given tech support 0 stars, but they won’t allow you to!

Super facil de instalar… Tiré un cable de utp cat 6 de 120 metros hasta llegar al router TP-LINK y funcionó perfectamente, la señal es de calidad y de buen rango.
