Pros & Cons
Pros
Signal is usable in every room of my three-bedroom flat. Antenna access point reaches across and up and down my house.
To say this is an upgrade is an understatement.
The ac2300 as a router is running at gigabytes between all our connected units. A speedtest at the router gives a broadband speed of 106mbps. It took me approx 20 minutes to setup, as i wanted to check all the settings.
The vm 3. Ethernet is a great alternative to * media's super hub 3. It can be installed by plugging a laptop into one of the ports on the back of the c4000. It also works as a wireless router.

Cons
Didn't manage our tplink onemesh powerline adapters and range extender very well. I'm back to using my * hub 3 with 10 - 20mpb speeds since it somehow manages to best even this router.

This was to replace my virgin hub 3 - although i’ve only been with virgin 3 weeks, i’ve come to quickly realise their hub 3 is ... Read More
Price
Bit pricey but it has stopped people complaining at me so worth the peace and quiet.
Really really good router for the price.
Well worth spending the money but it isn't that cheap normally.
I tried cheaper methods spending up to £40 each on a couple of devices but it was money wasted.
Shipping
Took more than a week to get through to virgin media then spent >4hrs on a message help line and advised disable one of the ... Read More

Next-day delivery was just as well, because the netgear needed rebooting several times a day.
Packaging/appearance
Some months ago my apple time capsule finally packed in, which had functioned perfectly as a router for several years, so i cha... Read More
Competitiveness
So much better than the rubbish router provided by virgin media.
Partnered with a seagate 8tb backup plus hub replacement for my apple timecapsule and airport.
It is entirely incompatible with this router and other onemesh devices (for reasons best known to tp-link).
I was getting a strong wifi signal in the same room as the virgin router but elsewhere in the modest sized house the wifi signa... Read More
