There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
We use this for a small house, and had a netgear nighthawk router that finally decided it had enough. The 2.4ghz band wasn’t working properly. On that router I’d even gone as far as flashing a 3rd party firmware to try to get it to stay working properly.
Didn’t want to spend a lot so picked up the archer a8 for a fair price. As I said easy setup, for our small home I have it in the basement and it is running our ring doorbell, Roku devices, phones etc. So far decent signal and good throughput. If you need a router for a larger home you probably want a higher end model or a mesh network. But for a small 2 bedroom home with a basement like ours, placed in the center of the basement it’s fine.
The delivery was slightly late, but acceptable and not the fault of the product. To be honest for the money it’s hard to complain about it. Time will tell regarding longevity but I’ve used tp link routers in order applications before and they seem to work well enough. Recommended.
