TP-Link ARCHER A6_V3 AC1200 Wireless MU-MIMO WI-FI Gigabit ROUTER

Pros: - Price - Performance - Features Cons: - Range ( for homes 2000sqft or smaller) I purchased this router as an Xmas gift for my father a few months back when it was on sale for 39.99. I figured for my parents modest needs this little thing should fit the bill quite nicely. My parents are basic users by every metric. Not big streamers, some Youtube, email, and mostly searches for news & local events. No security cameras, automated lights or IoT devices. So I can't provide feedback on really putting this router through it's paces with a typical family load. But what I can say is that upgrading them from my old Buffalo AirStation Extreme AC 1750 (10 year old router) was a huge improvement. Setup was smooth & quick. Literally up and running in 10 minutes. No kidding! - Unplugged the old router - Plugged in the new router - From the Desktop PC navigated to tplinkwifi.net where it walks you through the entire process - Downloaded new firmware, rebooted... done. Other manufactures could learn a thing or two from this simple setup process. LOOKING AT YOU NETGEAR! Performance was greatly improved. Last time I went home to visit I remember running a speed test and seeing 50mbps / 3mbps up on the desktop, lower over wifi. 13ish mbps! I figured since my parents don't need much I figured that was the package they opted for. So I was surprised to install the new router, rerun the test and see 500Mbps / 11mbps up (Spectrum). That old Buffalo was holding them back that much! Router is upstairs in dad's office. Downstairs I saw -59dbm in the main sunroom area which isn't all that far but several walls in between. Will it be enough for them? Absolutely. Again... my parents needs are quite modest. Signal seemed to reach throughout the entire house (2800sqft) 2 story home. I'm giving this thing a A-. For gamers, large families always online, lots of streaming... you may want to look to setup up a few levels from this. But for the basics this really can't be beat. Very very impressed.

El producto es muy bueno, compre por medio del vendedor Zegucom y la verdad me lleve muy buena experiencia el paquete llego antes de lo esperado y además cumple con su prometido, el mejor en este rango de precios!

High speed and range

TP-Link AC1200 Gigabit WiFi Router (Archer A6) - Dual Band MU-MIMO Wireless Internet Router, 4 x Antennas, OneMesh and AP mode, Long Range Coverage This is an older unit but it's still a good one. I bought this to create a separate 2.4g WiFi legacy network just for IoT devices. Most IoT devices are 2.4g. Like smart switches and even security cams. My current Wi-Fi setup has 2.4g but it's miserable and doesn't work well at all so I wanted a decent 2.4g setup that is completely separate from my main network. This is dirt cheap with pricing and I picked it up. Works amazing. Excellent 2.4g network. Speedy too (for legacy WiFi) covers a huge range in my 4000sqft home. I disabled 5ghz (yes there's a setting to do this ) The setup was really wonky. It has so many issues with the setup phase. Didn't connect. Made you reboot the device but it failed to reconnect. Really bad confusing setup that simply didn't work. I ended up "forgetting " all my wifi SSID and disabling mobile network. Then forcing it to get on the Archer a6 setup ssid and manually getting thru the setup. It worked finally. Once it is set up properly, the tp link connect app works amazingly via cloud. Without needing to go thru local wifi. Can be remotely controlled and accessed setting via cloud when you're not home even. For my specific purposes it's a fantastic value device. It's an older model but works great still.

I got this to improve my VR Wifi connection with Quest 2-3 headset. Setting it to 5g only, making a secondary wifi router to my home's wifi, and plugging my pc directly into it, I was able to get that smooth, gigabit connection for high quality VR play. Price was right, features were decent, and setting it to 5G meant it wasn't polluting the wifi of anyone outside my room as 5G doesn't pierce walls, but gave me high speed within my room. Also turned out to be great to lock in my smart devices, nobody can randomly pause my youtube tv now! But for the features, it's got a lot going for it, runs fairly cool in summer, and its 5G is strong enough that I can pick it up outside my house, so I can only imagine the 3G must go very far. Setup was easy, especially when you've already got a TP-Link app, and it works with most devices- though you'll need, unlike me, to turn on 3G for it to talk to IoT devices like smart stuff.
