Good Inexpensive Router
Hook up was straightforward and it works like a charm. Transmits to all areas of my 2-story house. It is plenty fast enough to watch streaming videos.

Dissapointing
Got it, and spent 2+ hour trying to get it to set up. Total failure. Returned to the store, where the Tech Help agreed the unit was no good out of the box.

Works Great
We've always had this brand, so when we needed to replace the router, even our provider recommended the TP Link. I see it's made by Archer (?) and I know their products are good!

Good service
Had to replace this. The instructions were a little hard because “removing the back up battery” wasn’t in the same part as the instructions. Other that than, it works beautifully

Router problems
We bought this router to replace one that was ten years old. First problem was the one cable would not completely plug in to the back. Second problem is that I am not getting a message that the wi-fi single weak which I didn't have before. Will try to work it out or replace.

TP-LINK Archer C54 AC1200 Dual-Band MU-MIMO Wi-Fi 5 Router
The router is very inexpensive comparative to similar “better" and name-branded products. It was easy to configure, but LAN works with Fast Ethernet (100 Mbps), not Gigabit. If this is not an issue, and you need a budget router, this is a good choice. The router has dual wireless band capabilities.

Good home replacement device
I had an older wifi device that failed and had tried a TP-Link device to fix my neighbor's network recently so when our died I put this in our home. This supports all of the tech that my wife and I have thrown at it (both long-time techies) easily. Very pleased!

Replacement of Laptop
The techs at Staples were incredibly helpful, w/my selection of a new laptop, setting it up & helping w/ difficulties I ran into, as I got to know the new laptop. I am especially grateful, for the help given by the manager, Lance, Ceithen & Henry. They were awesome!!!
