TP-Link AC1200 WiFi Router (Archer A54) - Dual Band Wireless Internet Router, 4 x 10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet Ports, Supports Guest WiFi, Access Point Mode, IPv6 and Parental Controls

I use this as a wifi extender in that mode not as a router because these routers make better wifi access points than the access points and its 5g. Works great im gona buy another one to make my wifi extend futher. Im using the direct connection not the connection where it repeats wifi

I sent this router up in and all steel shop building. The building measures 36 x 54. I easily get full strength signal in any part of the building. It will even transmit 50 to 80 feet outside of the building through the steel walls and roof. I sent this up to monitor a camera. There is very little to no latency in the signal. I hope to add a weather station in the very near future. I am very satisfied with this router.

Super easy set-up, and it qualified for overnight shipping as well so I was without internet for only one evening. The router is incredibly lightweight and works wonderfully, even after a month. I haven't had any issues with WiFi coverage throughout my home either. Overall, I'm super pleased with this router and would highly recommend it to others. The price alone is such a steal!

Using as an access point router to extend the range of our home network to the backyard patio. We actually have two of these and they have been working with no issues.

Excelente acabado, y muy completo el software de administrador. Lo mejor: Que detecta el internet totalmente automático... Excelente producto. Nada que ver con las baratijas

Well, I needed a new router as the one for Speculum was blocking a program I need to use, which needs Internet connection to function. Anyway, I had an old Zyxel one which seems to have died, despite hardly ever being used & siting in a cool dry closet for the last several yrs.At any rate, I refuse to pay $100+ for a router or a modem, which is sadly the case for most these days for what reasons, I don't know! So, I looked through what Newegg & Amazon had to offer, & for what was w/in my reasonable price range-under $50! & this one seemed to get great reviews, although I am confused as to how that happened, cause this thing is a useless piece of crap!!🧐🙄😒 I have NEVER had so much difficulty trying to config a router in my nearly 30 yrs of experience w/both computers & networking! I wasted a grand total of over 8 hrs on this thing, & STILL never got it setup! It should take a max of 30 mins to do so!& I need to set a static IP address for the aforementioned prog I needed to get this router for, & everytime I set it, & then hit SAVE, the damn thing timed out, & gave me an error code. I called their USELESS incompetent tech support, & the 'genius' I spoke to there didn't know what the error code even meant! 🤦‍♂️ She said I had to call back later to speak someone who actually knows what they are doing! Not her exact words, but roughly translated from tardo to English, that is what she was saying!🧐 I was exhausted from being up all night, & crashed, & when I woke up several hrs later, I tried in vain yet again! I even DL'd & installed the latest firmware update for it-this had literally NO EFFECT whatsoever on the problem, BTW!🙄😒 & now, it can't even load the settings page at all for this thing, regardless of what IP address you type into the address bar in the webbrowser!🤬 & their useless 'tech support' just basically told me to call my ISP to have them walk me through this problem! Claiming they couldn't help me set a static IP address in it! Not that it even matters when I cannot even get into the router's settings page!🙄😒 & BTW, Speculum refused to give me the static IP address info too!. It's literally just a set of #'s!🙄😒🤦‍♂️At any rate, if Zyxel's current crop of routers weren't all $100+, I'd just buy one of theirs, as their tech support aren't incompetent, & they will actually help you, & their products aren't useless crap!So, I am returning this paperweight, & will buy a diff 1 which is hopefully far better w/far better tech support, & not too expensive, & hopefully actually works w/out crashing everytime you save any settings changes you make, & doesn't fail to open up the IP address page for said settings on the thing too!!BTW, I'd have given tech support 0 stars, but they won't allow you to!

PROSEasy to install & use.Full Wi-Fi coverage [small house] & secure.Had to reset a couple times [provider issues, not the router] & Wi-Fi was back within 1 minute.Affordable.Fairly discreet [lower shelf of a bookcase].CONSNone.

This router has a great value. Beaware of the a few items.1. It does not support WPA3 as it says in the description. It was a key feature that I was looking for2. The speed is slow. My broadband is 300mbp. The router WIFI can only do ~30mbps even with the 5G channels.3. It does not have an IoT network like the newer routers.This is a previous generation router. If you can accommodate the limitations, you can beat the price. Otherwise spend another $20 for its newer model.
