Review on TP-Link Archer C3150: The 🔌 Ultimate Black Wireless MU-MIMO Gigabit Router by Balakrishna Monzon

Got it on sale with a super discount. Thought it would give me more range and better coverage. This gave a little more range, but not as much as I thought. It's pretty easy to use and has some nice features, like the ability to create groups of devices and control when they're used, and setting web filters. In other words, I can create a group for son #1, add his iPhone, iPad, Chromebook, Nintendo Switch to that group and set his wifi time from 8:00 AM to 11:00 PM. For son #2, I create another group, add his iPhone, iPad, and Windows laptop and allow his WiFi from 5:00 AM to 9:30 PM. I can also set up web filters to block them from adult sites etc. The router includes antivirus capabilities as an additional layer of protection. You can manage or pause your WiFi individually from your iPhone or Android device. The router also has a USB port for NAS, but I don't use that feature. You can also use their "smart wifi" which allows you to use a single SSID for the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands to keep your device connected to whatever is available/stronger. This works well, but sometimes the device has trouble switching from one band to another. Decent range but not what I expected. Good speeds if close enough for 5GHz. It doesn't need to be restarted like some other routers, it just seems to be up and running for a long time.
