TP-Link Archer AC1750 WiFi Router - Dualband Gigabit, Qualcomm inside, Works with Alexa(A7), Black

I just finished installing the A7 TCP-Link 1750AC router replacing a 6 year old Linksys E2500--having had to replace my modem earlier in the week after it failed and went into a reboot loop. The Linksys worked but not reliably of late and it was slow for a dual band router. I opted to use the quick install and then tweak later using the full featured web interface. The install using TP's Tether app from my iPhone worked but not without a few missteps--a failure to connect to the router at first using the 5G SSID worked once I tried with the 2.4G. A second hiccup occurred when binding the route

It works as described, and increased our wifi speed from about 30 mbps to 70 on the 5ghz band. We have a router/modem combo (b/g/n, I think) that seemed to max out around 37 mbps over wifi. I turned off the router functionality on that unit, and connected it to this router, and the speed increase was instant. Setup was easy, too.The Tether app makes running things from your smartphone pretty easy, too. We have since received a speed increase from our ISP, and I have tested speeds as high as 400 mbps on the 5ghz band (100-160 is the normal average). The 2ghz band is significantly slower (maybe

Review originally titled, "Plan to Buy A New One Every Few Months"Here's what I originally wrote: "When this device works it's great. Mine failed after 8 months, and trying to deal with TP-Link for technical support or warranty fulfillment is an exercise in futility. Yet at this price I guess the "rent" for this unit is about $8 per month."So I will just buy another one and hope it lasts at least that long again."I stand by what I said about TP-Link technical support. However, I was able to get this box to work again. I did buy a replacement unit but have not opened it. If my current one conti

I am a very senior citizen with limited computer experience. I had a 10 year old Archer C7 router that I wanted to replace with a new C7. I had a problem understanding the installation video so I contacted customer service to try to understand if there was a problem. I did a chat with customer service and then they sent me an e mail. I had further questions and my e mails were answered within hours. I did not exactly get an answer to my question, but that may be because I didn't know enough terminology to frame it correctly. I was trying to find out what they meant in the instructions that sai

I don't know if it's the best but it's pretty amazing !Without going into details, I will say it just that everything advertised is true for a very good price. Very good web interface to setup, a good app for your phone (TP-Link Tether), easy to setup.The great thing is that you can have separated logins for 2G and 5G, for regular use and guests, and you can individually turn them on/off, this is a sweet thing.For all the technical details just read the description here or on their website and enjoy. They have a more detailed manual on their website.Important note : Intel Wi-Fi cards for lapto

I bought this router to replace the basic N*tgear one provided by my cable company at $5 per month rent. I’m able to use the WiFi at the edge of my backyard which I couldn’t do before. After using it for a month I haven’t had to unplug/power cycle it at all. With my N*tgear I regularly had to unplug it once a month or more.Parental controls are easy to set up after installing the TP Link Tether iPhone app. I can pick and choose which devices in my house to apply internet restrictions. Both of my hdtvs will not connect to websites with “y*utube” in the web address or any other search word I pic

I picked up the TP-Link Archer AC1750 when our old router died, and it’s been a fantastic replacement ever since. The range is really solid, it easily covers multiple floors in my house, and I actually have two of these running: one downstairs connected directly to the internet, and one upstairs acting as an access point linked with an ethernet cable. This setup has kept my whole house covered with strong, stable Wi-Fi.Build quality is great, feels sturdy and not flimsy like some cheaper routers I’ve tried. Security has been solid, and I still see firmware updates being pushed out, so it’s nic

Solid Midrange Router That’s Showing Its AgeThe TP-Link Archer AC1750 (A7) has been a reliable workhorse in my home network for years, but after living with it since 2020, I’d call it a solid “good but not great” performer by 2025 standards. Setup was painless using the TP-Link Tether app, and the router handled my mix of laptops, TVs, tablets, and smart devices without much fuss. Range is decent—about 2,000–2,500 square feet in my single-story home—and it integrates nicely with Alexa if you like voice controls for network management.For basic streaming, browsing, and light gaming, it’s smooth
