What customers say about "Network"
TP-LINK Archer C9 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit Router
- This was a doddle to set up and the wifi range is excellent in both 2.4 and 5 G.
- Fast, reliable good range, small footprint, reasonable price. it does the biz.
- This router cover my big house, huge performance of speed and range!
- Was expecting more from this router. Range is just ok.
- Works well - range not as big as perhaps I would have expected, but no problems anywhere in our house.
TP-LINK Archer C3200 Tri-Band Wireless Gigabit Cable Gaming Router
- Very stable. Good coverage, no disconnections and has not needed a reboot since installation.
- We have multiple devices connected to it at once, always more than 20 devices connected to it and it handles this all effortlessly.
- Inside the simple but effective packaging the router feels to be decent quality and I like the six-antenna design where they fold out from the main body of the router.
- Look at these antennas and tell me they are not tentacles, strange design.
- When you open six antennas, you will need a clear four or five inches in height. Not critical, but I would like smaller antennas.

What customers say about "Security"
TP-LINK Archer C9 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit Router
- The TP Link software is really good and you can easily change names/passwords and enable Guest Networks on 2.4GHz or 5 Ghz with a whole host of advanced stuff that i wont touch!
- Incredibly easy to set up with a host of extra goods including flexible DNS and guest networks etc.
- All the goodies are there and easy to configure. Guest wifi, DDNS updater, routing, bridging, guest isolation are all easy to set up and the router is rock solid.
- Nice router with plenty features and security !
- The parental controls are NOT as good as previous TP-Link routers.
TP-LINK Archer C3200 Tri-Band Wireless Gigabit Cable Gaming Router
- The router provides a good set of security and works without problems.
- Parental control is a very important function for me, many times it helped me out.
- High-quality router with a good design, coverage, speed and a set of security.
- Parental controls do not work properly, quite an important issue for me.
- Parental controls (if they worked) would benefit from configuring a group of MAC addresses in groups - instead, you need to mess about fiddling for each phone, laptop, googlepad (etc) separately.
