TP-LINK Archer C4000 Router

Very quick and easy. Super Cool! Love this router!
I am very happy with this routers speed.
I found good to great internet speed and connectivity with my phone and tablet throughout my 2700 square foot home.
This TP-Link gives me the same speed wireless as my wired connection (350meg).
Reliable for more than 5 devices and and awesome speed.

TP-LINK Archer C5400 MU-MIMO Tri-Band Wireless Gigabit Cable Gaming Router

Wi-Fi reliability, speed and range; wired streaming never buffers, etc. Good purchase!
Once I got everything set up like I like it and did a speed test and immediately seen a difference in internet speeds which was a plus. My previous router was much worse.
This router is amazing. I switched from a dead Nighthawk to this and it blew my mind. Fast speeds, very very fast speeds guys!
The coverage was mediocre and the speeds didn't seem to be much faster than the Decos I was comparing it to.
While this system is supposed to be faster than the Deco M5s I found it only to be 10-20% faster on the 5Hz channels.

What customers say about "Network"

TP-LINK Archer C4000 Router

It was fairly easy to set up and the range is great.
Both the speed (I have 100 Mbps service) and range of are exceptional.
The range is excellent and the speed of our WiFi is great!
This is great and I would highly recommend it to anyone. Great range.
Great router for the price. Good range of this one.

TP-LINK Archer C5400 MU-MIMO Tri-Band Wireless Gigabit Cable Gaming Router

The range from the apartment to the outside is amazing (got a good signal 10 stories down).
I like how the non-removable antennas fold down and lay flat on top of the square chassis of the WIFI router.
The coverage of the router antennas were enough for me to stream without an issue at large distances and obviously through walls and floors as well.
Well thought out and detailed QoS, decent quality!
The antenna are plentiful and flimsy, in my short time owning this router one of them as broke and no longer stays up.
