TP-Link Archer C80 AC1900 MU-MIMO Dual Band Wireless Gaming Router, Wi-Fi Speed Up to 1300 Mbps/5 GHz + 600 Mbps/2.4 GHz, Supports Parental Control, Guest Wi-Fi

Bargain basement performance . I have an ASUS gaming router and this one I just slung at the back of the house so I could get a signal when Im in my workshop. It constantly if faster than my ASUS and completely stable..never glitches..had it two years now and its still as fast as day one. TP link make some nice stuff for reasonable money. My ASUS was 3x the price and just varies so much in speed I cant rely on it..one day is 350mbps next is 80 mbps..the TP link keeps constant at around 330 . I have other TP link kit bought after being impressed with this and that's too performs very well

I have suffered with WiFi issues since I recently moved into a rented flat. I went with NOW Broadband as my partner was with them living in the same area and had no issues with them.First few days were great with no issues then started to have connection dropouts, losing a bar of WiFi signal leaving the living room where the hub was etc. Phoned NOW 3 times, replaced the hub, sent an engineer out who supposedly replaced a contactor in the box outside, gave me money off my bill to buy a booster, nothing worked.I found this item as it had great reviews. I thought why not. I thought this replaced my NOW hub but it doesn’t. You keep your internet set up the way it is and this item is connected to your hub via an ethernet cable. You then connect your devices to this router and you should get all green lights.Initially I had green lights but no internet connection. I panicked thinking it wasn’t going to work with my WiFi. However on the instructions there is details of a website to troubleshoot and eventually it done a firmware upgrade on my phone for the router which took a few minutes. This is all easy to do so do not worry if you’re not tech minded, either am I.After the firmware upgraded, everything was sorted. I had internet. The next thing was to test if it had improved my speed. My NOW hub was situated in the living room and when lying in bed I would only ever get 2 bars of WiFi on my iPhone and videos would rarely load. After I was connected to the TP router I went through and it did drop to 2 bars but then straight away went back up to 3. I done 2 speed tests (see photo above). The bottom one is connected to the TP router and the top one is connected to the NOW hub. It’s almost double the speed. That’s another thing, because you need both your normal broadband and this router set up, you can just switch between the 2 if you want too.I have the Tether app which again it tells how to install in the instructions and I can now control my devices etc. It’s really easy to use and you can customise your settings to your preference.To conclude I was initially skeptical that this would work with NOW but it did and has improved my connection massively. If you’re thinking about it, just do it.Hope this helps anyone who was confused like I was before buying.

good router, not too many complaints. its way better if you dont know what your doingand watch a video, saves you time n effort. plug in, set up and your done. the dropout rate is okay, but of course, if its deep and far way into your house ill always recommend a booster, works well with not too many issues. Secure enough

Bought this after reading others’ successful experiences. Easy to set up with our Virgin Hub 3 in modem mode. Signal much better throughout the house with no need for a mesh network. Wish I’d known about this method earlier. Great tip from another user - set network name and password on the new router to match what was on the Virgin Hub - all devices re-connect automatically! Very pleased.

I used this device briefly as my main router as my ISP hadn't yet shipped their own brand router before my internet was upgraded to fibre. I now use it as a reliable access point to extend the range of my network for 4k streaming, light gaming, and general web browsing.Setting this thing up was really simple. I'm pretty knowledgeable with tech, but I don't think I'd have much trouble if I had less experience. To use this with fibre to the property connections, you have to change the router settings to PPPoE and use login details specific to your ISP. (Search for 'PPPoE login BT/Sky/Plusnet/EE...). The web interface is remarkably simple and modern so poses no problems!Once my ISP router arrived, I switched this over to access point mode to reach some dead spots in my flat. Again, really simple to do with one button in the web client. Devices connect seamlessly and quickly. This router has been incredibly reliable, being consistent on delivering 500Mbps speeds.The range is good, but no improvement over the one I have from Plusnet. If you're looking to buy this to extend the range of your WiFi, you won't see much difference if you have anything from the past few years. One minor complaint is the shiny black plastic on top which is a nightmare for dust and scratches. This is, however, a great value for money buy for those looking for an access point, or upgrading anything that caps out at 100Mbps!

Very easy to install. Very fast and easy to add to in the future, should you want to extend and strengthen wireless cover all around your house. I had a plusnet router and it was starting to get very flakey with low download speeds upstairs. This router solved all of that. I'm a gamer so I like a strong wireless connection all over my house.Wifi 6 was an added bonus, as well as WPA3. Now when I use an app to check if other wireless networks in my area (there are a lot) are interfering with my wifi? Nothing is and my router is right at the top of the list as the strongest. I am so impressed.

Be aware that despite the advert, and this being a great router and easy to set up, it isn't compatible with the onemesh system. This device is part of the EasyMesh system.
