TP-Link - Archer AC4000 Tri-Band Wi-Fi 5 Router - Black

I can't speak about long-term use as I have only had it up and working for about 2 weeks. What I can tell you is that the setup was easy. I haven't experienced any problems with it yet and the tri-band is nice for designating what connections to use for what devices. I am in the process of trying different ways to use it, such as smart connect for my security system or not. I have a ranch style home of about 1800 square feet and it covers all of it with no problem.

Quick and fast router that supports multiple devices at once

I like the speed and 3 different frequencies it’s having. Never regret to own this one. Earlier I had A6 (1200Mbps) one. This one is much faster and more device connection capability. Also very slim and square size.

This router is solid built. If you are computer savvy and use older devices that do not run on 5G this is a must. You are also able to program it to restart every night or at whatever time you desire. I found this feature useful in preventing lag. Good overall product.

Had google WiFi mesh and was not strong enough. This router is a beast to say the least

Have been thru 2 wireless routers and 1 Mesh system just trying to get reasonable speed throughout my house which is only 2300 sq.ft. This Archer4000 had some good reviews online and in a well known consumer’s rating magazine so figured I would give it a try considering Best Buy had it on sale. Have to say I am more that pleased as this performed better than the previous 2 routers and the Mesh system with a base and 2 satellites I have tried over the past year. I now have excellent speed thru-put anywhere in the house and can even get great results outside at the pool area and all the way to the street out front. No dead spots. I was contemplating going to the new wi-fi 6 technology but could not justify twice the price when I don’t have a single wi-fi 6 compatible device. Set-up was extremely easy with the web app and I am not a network guru. If you are looking for great speed at maximum range, this is the perfect solution.

TP-Link AC4000 is an excellent router. This is my first TP-Link and I will buy this brand from now on. The best router I have used. Extremely fast. We get our max internet speed (200mbps) all throughout entire 1700 sq fthouse and outside. Handles our 12 devices no problem. Havent had any drops. Easy setup. Has its own internet security. App is great and easy to use. HIghly recommend.

I realized that my older Linksys WNDR4000 dual-band WiFi router just wasn't up to the task anymore. Spectrum recently increased internet download speeds to 200 Mbps in our area and I was lucky to be getting 70Mbps over WiFi. I could only get 200 Mbps when connected to the router via Ethernet. Plus, signal coverage was somewhat spotty - noticed primarily with my Chromecast device which while behind the TV, still was nearly within line of sight of the WiFi router. Since replacing it with the TP-Link Archer AC4000, I'm now getting a much better WiFi signal throughout the house and am able to get 200Mbps download speeds via WiFi. Router setup was also incredibly easy and I like the SmartConnect mode where all 3 WiFi bands are under the same SSID and it automatically chooses the best band for the device that's connecting. Haven't had any issues with any devices not being able to connect. The phone app and web Interfaces are easy to use and straightforward. The info it provides on the MAC addresses for connected devices was useful in tracking down and figuring out what a couple of "phantom" devices were on my network. Would highly recommend this router if you are having issues with WiFi speeds and signal strength, especially if you can get it on sale like I did.
