Pros & Cons

Cons

This is by far the worst router i've ever had. For an expensive, high powered router, this is unacceptable. I am unable to install dd-wrt or tomato on the router to gain back some of those features as it is not powerful enough to support them.

Altogether an unsatisfactory experience. Well, it's just too darn early to say. That is pure bs.

The tp-link ac4000 has known power issues where it overheats and an internal fuse fails. Tech support is non existent. Without the assigned ssid, my devices work extremely inefficiently.

It is not that the router doesn't work, it is that there are intermittent disconnections from the wifis it broadcasts. I have a wifi 6 adapter card capable of 5400mbps throughput and with this router, it will not connect at any faster than 866/866.

Quality


Works really well, great signal, easy to set up and use.


Great performance, good quality, and no regrets!


But started having wireless connection issues 20 months after purchase/initial setup and total loss of wireless connections at 22 months.


My husband decided to unplug for a good half an hour.

Price


For the price, it was an excellent investment for my home network security.


Very good wi fi reception at a good price


For$70 (it is refurbished but by the time by now you can probably buy this for $70 new).

Packaging/appearance


Item came packaged good and it seemed to be the best option for me.


Un box it, pull the antenna up and plug it in.

Competitiveness


The archer a20's mu-mimo technology is another noteworthy feature.


Works better than the router spectrum tried to give us for $5 a month.


Those of you with faster plans ( mine is 200) will do better.

    I was using my service providers router and after 5 wifi connections it slowed down


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I live in a 2 story house where second story required a repeater or range booster to get adequate signal for cameras and streaming


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Had drop outs and due to range booster slowing updown signal a lot of buffering
