Quality


Works great even after 4 years of use


Always works, provides ~270 down speed for me on 5g wifi.


The range is twice that of the modem's wifi signal.


After getting the modem up and running, i plugged in and powered up this router.

Price


Internet speed is great, and for this price too.


I liked the price and the customer service that helped me get it set up.


Overall you cannot ask for more of a router/ap combo that is <$50.

Shipping


I quickly converted to an access point and was up and going in under 20 minutes.


Took some time but problem was resolved.

Competitiveness


This was my first time buying tp link router over other brands out there; glad i brought this one.


) it took 2 phone calls, but both tin and romnick were excellent help.
