tp-link AC1750 Smart WiFi Router - Dual Band Gigabit Wireless Internet Routers for Home, Works with Alexa, Parental Control&QoS(Archer A7) (Renewed)

Router works great! So much better than the one the Internet company rents to you. I have better wifi speeds and I'm saving $5 a month, so it's a total win!

I was debating a lot to buy a refurbished item, this router has been working for the last 3 yrs or so and going strong. I love it. Would recommend.

Works well for the money

First of all, the dual band capability of this router is fantastic. It supports both 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequencies, which ensures a reliable and fast internet connection throughout my home. I have noticed a significant improvement in the overall speed and stability of my WiFi network since I started using this router.The parental control and Quality of Service (QoS) features are also excellent additions. With the parental control feature, I can easily manage and restrict internet access for specific devices or set up scheduled access for certain users, providing a safe online environment for my family. The QoS feature allows me to prioritize certain applications or devices, ensuring a seamless experience for bandwidth-intensive activities such as streaming or gaming.Setting up the router was a breeze thanks to the user-friendly interface and clear instructions provided. The router also works seamlessly with Alexa, allowing me to control certain functions using voice commands, which is a convenient feature.Although this router is a renewed product, it functions as good as new. I haven't experienced any issues with its performance or reliability.

This is one of the better relatively inexpensive modern WiFi routers to use with third party open source firmware like DD-WRT. It's relatively easy to replace the firmware (at least on the revision I purchased but check to see if TP-Link has made changes that might be a problem). In general TP-Link seems to be more third party firmware friendly than most router manufactures.Running DD-WRT it's fast, stable, barely gets lukewarm (uses very little power), the triple external antennas provide good WiFi range and supports all the cool features you get with DD-WRT like the ability to run a full time VPN at the the router. You also get a 4 port ethernet switch.Obviously you'll want to spend more if you have a good reason for WiFi 6 speeds. But, in many applications, the internet speed is going to be the bottleneck especially running through a VPN.

This was an easy install. I didn't need to log into it to set up security - it was already set up.DHCP was already on as well. All the devices that connected got an internal IP Address assigned to them from the router. No static IP addressing was required.I plugged the Cable Modem Ethernet into the router's WAN (blue) connector, and my computers into the router's LAN (yellow) connectors, and my wired network was done.I used the SSID and Password found on the bottom of the router to successfully connect all my WiFi devices.There was a QR Code that helped the users to connect their phones. Not sure that would work if I changed the default SSID and password, but it did fine with the default.I didn't rate Tech Support or the User Interface, because I didn't need either to set this up.I would recommend this router for ease of use, price and quality.

It has good signal strength, it does reboot randomly and the start up time is a bit too high.

Really happy with this router. I have my main router near our daughter's room and every night between 7pm - 7am i have a schedule where the router wireless turns itself off. I know wi-fi signal is supposed to be fine, but just to be extra safe, I have it turned off while my daughter is sleeping nearby.I have a hardwired ethernet cable that goes to another part of the house and that's where I put this router to replace an older router. I had my old router as a secondary access point for some of my home automation devices and my ring doorbell and various cameras on that side of the house. Setting up the old router meant I had to setup things manually, but with this router, i just plugged it in, made it an access point in the selection, and everything works well. throughput is better with this router than my old one.I've now had this router running for over a month and no issues at all. Signal strength is good and uptime has been great. I haven't needed to change the firmware to dd-wrt or anything like that, existing firmware seems fine for my purposes.
