Review on πŸ“Ά Renewed TP-Link Archer AC1750 Smart WiFi Router - Dual Band Gigabit C7 by Antonio Lemm

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Does not boot when connected to WAN (factory setting)

Wrote a review yesterday. Finally managed to get it working with some guesswork and testing. This is definitely NOT plug and play for most people. I have spectral internet and didn't want to get the WAN parameters correct. Turns out I solved my problem by doing one of two things and I got the WAN connection green light and stopped the hanging. 1: Disable ICMP proxy. Or 2: Rename the router host. name something without an underscore "_". Also, I changed the router's IP address from 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.1.1, which in my experience is the local IP address of most modems, so I also updated the firmware, but I don't think that really helped Has . Hope this helps someone. In any case, so far so good. 3 stars for my problems. This is definitely not a beginner's router, and unless you know exactly how the network works, you'll be tearing your hair out setting it up. I'm not an idiot with networks. But I had problems too. And I would say I'm better than the average beginner

Pros
  • Robust design
Cons
  • Without automatic
