Ordered this from Bt Shop, it arrived within the 4 days as promise, the box had a dent in it, but luckily the router was undamaged. I upgraded from a Netgear DGN3700v1 because the QOS was useless, the Tp-Link Archer C7 AC 1750router is really great because you can control the download speeds as well...

Very poor connection speeds on wireless Will not work with virgin media Do not buy

TP-Link's Archer C7 AC1750 wireless dual-band gigabit router can be used on DSL, fibre or cable Internet services and is targeted at gamers and other demanding users who need ultrafast data transfer speeds and don't want their router to be a bottleneck.

I purchased this router to take advantage of 802.11ac and it has been excellent, it has provided my full 74mbps+ Internet speed over wifi and was so easy to replace my BT Home Hub 4.

I originally purchased another router that was in stock but soon realized it had several issues. A Google search very clearly indicated that the TP-Link Archer C-7 was the best router in its price range while outperforming other more expensive units. I ordered one and have not been disappointed.

When looking for a new router, it is recommended that you keep an eye for the latest technology, mainly the 802.11ac, but bear in mind that the AC routers tend to be more expensive than the N variants.

Good Wireless Coverage; Affordability; 802.11ac; Easy Setup; Lightweight

As others have said, this doesn't work well with Virgin, using the SH2 I get a constant 100meg but when I put it into "modem mode" & connect through this I get anything from none to max 40meg!, I'm returning it as it's not fit for purpose.

I purchased one of these to replace our older Linksys wireless router. It was really quick to get it set up and running. With our old router, I generally had to reconnect to my office at least once per day. With this router, I have been able to stay logged in for days at a time.

Costing $89.99, price is the object with TP-Link's economical Archer C7 router. It may lack some frills, such as automatic firmware updates or the latest technology for efficiently managing network traffic, but the router is a midrange performer that includes a pair of USB ports and the ability to...

Good 5-GHz performance for price; Two USB ports for connecting peripherals; On/Off switch for wireless transmissions; Parental controls for restricting Web surfing

USB ports use slower 2.0 spec; Subpar performance on the 2.4-GHz band
