I bought this because of persistent problems with my Virgin Super Hub 3. I wanted a separate router so I could run the Hub 3 just as a modem. I was beginning to lose the will to live trying to pick a router at a reasonable price from the huge available choice when a friend recommended the Archer C7, which they used, and I found a manufacturer refurbished C9 for the same price, which gave me better performance and features like beamforming. I was expecting all sorts of grief setting up the new router, but was frankly astonished at how smoothly it all went, even including a firmware update. The user interface to set up via the browser was an order of magnitude better than most such things, and the biggest hassle was having to set up everything to use a new network. 2.4GHz and 5 GHz show up as two separate networks, rather than two speeds within the same network. I set the 5 GHz as the one used to connect to the Internet, and logged all the PCs etc. into that one without problems, even for the older machines. Still some intermittent issues with Internet connection, as the Hub 3 has known bugs which haven't been fixed by a firmware update in over a year, but the wi-fi network is immensely improved. Excellent value for money, and mercifully easy to use.Read full review

Very easy to use, menue in standard forms, I use mine to replace a BT Smart Hub 6. The WiFi performance is much better and complete control of router settings makes this a more better device. Easy to set up, works as I would have expected - no dropouts so far. It represents good value for money. Having a guest option was most useful, allowing family members to connect when they visit. Teamed with my Smart Hub box and network with Gigabit switches has upgraded my system at an affordable price.

I have set this up to replace the Wifi signal provided by my cable company's router which is supposed to offer unrestricted connection to the internet. Except the signal kept dropping out and this was due to the equipment not being able to allow enough connections to devices. TP-Link have solved this with this wonderful bit of kit. It can connect over 20 wifi enabled devices without even breaking a sweat ! The connections are very strong and stable as is the signal. Both bands 2.4 GHz & 5 GHz offer wonderful connections all around my house and even down the garden. If you have a problems area, just adjust the aerials until the problem is solved. The firmware in this router is easy to use and has good options for control. This is the best bit of kit I have purchased and knocks the socks off any equipment supplied my internet providers. The router is so stable that for the first time in years , I have not had to reset my equipment since I purchased it.Read full review

Very easy to use in standard form , I use mine to replace a BT smarthub 6. The wifi performance is very similar but complete control of router settings makes this a much better device. The TP Link Teher app is very useful to change things from your mobile device instead of logging in with a browser
