My son set this up for me with ease. Great purchase for on-line gamers. Doesn't slow even with several gamers on-line at same time. Well worth the money.

This device has completely revolutionised my home network. I get signal everywhere in my house and the LAN speeds over Ethernet are incredible. I have flashed DD-WRT to unlock the full potential of this device and I am very happy.

Excellent

Good performance, but each time electricity stops or is disconnected, we need to set it all over again !!! Could somebody help me about that ??

I had an Engenius router which could not be recognized by my new Zoom cable modem and was disconnecting constantly. I connected the TP-LInk AC1200 and within 5 min I was up and running. Very strong signal.

The release of the new TP-Link Archer C5 V2 proves that manufacturers haven't completely abandoned the entry-level networking sector and that there is still a lot of focus towards the AC1200 routers, considering the fact that some people may not be easily persuaded to go for the higher numbers on...
