2.4ghz is crippling slow I have a 1ghz lan and the 5ghz works great. My security system runs the cameras on 2.4ghz only and is constantly showing a “due to poor network conditions” pop-up. The router is 7ft away and after speed testing the 2.4ghz I dropped my jaw. Speed Test =5ghz = 896MB/s / 2.4ghz = 104.65MB/s. This router states that it’s 2.4ghz speed is 1ghz and should max out my network or at least be on par with 5ghz. A lot of devices run on 2.4ghz only and if you have any then this router is not for you.
Great till you lose internet connection I really like TP-Link products for their stability and dependability. I’ve been slowly changing my entire home network which consists of a 24 port switch, 3 wifi routers and 1 outdoor AP over from Asus to TP-Link. Everything was working great until I lost my internet connection to my main router which is the AC5400. The software demands you setup an account with TP-Link for cloud control of the router. That’s all fine and dandy as long as the router is connected to the net. The second the net goes down the router demands you log in, to see you can’t log in because there’s …surprise surprise, no internet! Stupid. So then if you are using your cell phone, disconnected from the wifi in order to log in, to be told by the tether app that you aren’t connected to router. No kidding. So instead of hosting the log in on the router they force you to log in through the cloud. There may be a way around this but that’s just wrong especially if I want a simple to troubleshoot system. They can fix…
So far so good! Only time will tell… Pros:*Very noticeable range and signal strength improvement compared to my 8 year old router (Asus RT-AC66U).*No drops on connection while watching streaming videos, youtube, surfing the web, gaming, etc.*Very easy to configure graphical user interface. You can just set it and forget it.*If you have Alexa Echo, you can use it to send specific commands to this router to change its settings.*Its tri-band and not dual band… much more versatile in accepting wireless connections.*Very easy set up also on the hardware part… just attach the antennas, plug-in the power adapter & ethernet cable, and power it on.Cons:*The TP-LINK AX11000 is just around the corner which supports the new AX wifi-6 speeds & WPA3 wifi security encryption. If you want to future proof despite the higher cost, you might want to get that instead.*It’s expensive but it does use pretty good hardware (Quad-core 1.8Ghz CPU, 1GB RAM, etc.)*Lack of more…
