I was having problems with my Virgin broadband router and the WiFi signal so I did some research and this router was highly rated. Firstly, the router looks great, it looks like it means business and is made to serve a purpose. I placed the virgin broadband into router mode and connect this device. After connecting via the app the whole setup was so simple and easy that even a not so tech savvy person like myself found it a breeze. I positioned the antennas in different positions and connected to the router using the original ID and password from the virgin router. This can be set during set up and is completly customisable. There are many different settings to choose from including 2.4 and 5 ghz and also guest networks. The speed of my WiFi increased drastically once having this plugged in and went from around 190Mbps to 270Mbps and the coverage also greatly improved across the house. I have had no complaints in regards to the router itself, my firesticks found it difficult to connect at first but once I connected using the WPS button they have worked as normal. I would highly recommend this item if your wanting to replace your ISP router. It is so easy to set up and use it is actually a doddle. I have since purchased additional booster for the garage which easily connects through the mesh network and again is so simple to install its virtually fool proof. If you want a new router, this is the one. Ive found it great for daily streaming in a house of 5.

I purchased this as a dedicated access point for playing PCVR games on my Meta Quest 3 over Air Link. I chose this one specifically as it comes well recommended for the Quest, it does seem to be a bit hit and miss with many people reporting issues even when using more expensive WiFi 6 routers. Previously I was using my ISP router (Virgin Superhub 4), and while this generally worked fine it would randomly drop the connection kicking you back to the home screen which was very frustrating. Sometimes it would happen within a few minutes, other times it might last an hour. Since using this C6 I've had no issues at all over many play sessions of varying lengths which has been perfect. Both the C6 and my PC are plugged into the Virgin hub. I experimented with connecting my PC directly to the C6 to remove one extra hop, but there was no discernible difference at all. The benefit of not having the PC going through the C6 means I can leave it turned off when not in use. It only uses around 2W at idle, but it's still a waste when not needed. In terms of location, I have this in a cubby hole on my TV stand in the lounge, and use the headset in the bedroom directly above it. I've got the aerials laid flat to give a stronger signal upstairs, and there's no issues at all with the signal going through this stand and the ceiling/floor. My phone shows the signal strength is around 36-39dB upstairs, so there's certainly no requirement to have the router in the same room as the headset. This is on the 5GHz band, I've disabled the 2.4GHz as it's not needed.

Not as good or customisable as advertised, had compatibility issues even with other TP-link products, just because they were older generations. Flimsy charger that likes disconnecting on light pulls of the cable, so expect frequent trips to the router if you have curious pets. For the price it's a perfectly capable home router for non-demanding customers. I had to return mine to get something more appropriate for networking. If you are building a mesh or slightly more complex network, I'd look for another router.

I bought this as my old router, which at the time I bought it was very expensive, was suffering constant dropouts. I wasn't sure if it was the router at fault, so didn't want to spend a fortune on a test replacement. At the same time, if it was the router at fault I wanted the replacement to be reasonably good. This TP-LINK exceeded my expectations across the board. I have a high-speed fibre connection of around 70-80Mps and this router really takes full advantage of my bandwidth. I've had it running for about a month now and in that time I've had zero dropouts. My uptime is from the time I first turned it on. I have some 20-30 internet capable gadgets of various types and they're all solid with this router. No 'not respondings', no ' can't connect'. Absolutely first class. Watching a 4K stream on Netflix while someone else in the house is gaming and this thing doesn't even blink. Set up is pretty easy using the usual webpage interface, with all the handy extras you'd expect. 'Basic' mode hides all the confusing extra settings if you just want a 'make it work' option, while 'advanced' gives you lots of fine control for more superuser types. You can allocate IP addresses, set parental controls to block keywords or access times, and have a guest connection. The phone app is suprisingly useful too, letting you know what's going on on your network without having to fire up a computer. Downsides are, well, it's pretty ugly. Routers seem to be immune from any sort of aesthetic design other than the mad future tech look, and this one is no exception. It's also pretty big physically so it's hard to put somewhere out of sight. The antenna are huge, but this presumably what gives us such a good connection. This is a great router - my old one cost four times the price of this some ten years ago, and the TP-Link blows it out of the water. Great value, highly recommended.

Took a couple of goes to get it all setup but works great and there's plenty of online help

I only got this router today so I may revise this review in the future. First of all, let me say that I am a computer technician, so setting up and running network equipment is nothing new to me. I had to read up on some TP-Link specific terms but that was advanced stuff I needed to know about. The initial setup was very easy. I was very impressed that the 5G and 2.5G networks run on completely separate networks, each having it's own SSID. That has not been the case on my previous routers. First of all I wrote down all the passwords SSID's and IP addresses I was going to use. I then reset my VM hub completely by holding in the reset button for 60 seconds while it was switched on. I then put the hub in modem only mode.. After setting the router to a different LAN address and making it so that the WAN gets a DHCP address I rebooted the router and linked it to the hub. It took all of 10 minutes to get it going. I gave 5 stars to tech support because I never needed to use them. I only gave 3 stars to User interface because although the router is fully featured, the colour scheme is not contrasted enough to be easy on the eye. Hovering over links tuns them either Yellow on a white background or white on a yellow background. There is an aquamarine background too. The colour scheme seems like it was designed by a 17 year old with dreamy summer colours in mind and no idea how to make an interface colour scheme add to the usability. I preferred the colour scheme of the TP-Link r600vpn - very easy to navigate and no confusion So far, after messing with the Archer C6 I am over-all quite impressed and may use some css styliser to overcome the colour problems The following has been edited in. I have had the router a few months now and it works excellently I am satisfied this is a great router for the price

I had been having problems with my Talktalk hub for a while. It had been replaced several times, but still the problems persisted - mainly with WiFi speakers (eg. Bose Soundtouch), but also with iPhones eating through 4G data allowances instead of using WiFi. Since connecting this TP-Link to the system- in Access Point mode - I've been able to disable the Wifi on the TT hub, and use the TP-Link for Wifi. All my issues disappeared immediately.

my internet has been playing up all day and I ordered this a few hours later and it was delivered , 30mins later up running again and a lot faster now , easy set up on the app just put all old router password ect ..every think connected .happy family again

High-speed Wi-Fi, extra wide coverage

I decided to use this as an access point and it was very easy to set up. I sensed that the speed of my uploads was much faster as a result. There were dead spots in our apartment and I think this will help. Also, it increased the download speed of our TV. All good things for a really good price.

Semplice da usare e installare
