Revainrating 1 out of 5

Maybe I'm just unlucky.

I bought this router hoping it would boost the signal in the far corners of my house and outside, which it did. once a day) are disconnected from devices connected to the Ethernet ports. All wireless devices stayed connected to the internet - in fact, the wireless connection was working fine and the signal strength was EXCELLENT. But I use a wired Xbox One as my primary media center and a wired Samsung SmartThings Hub to power dozens of smart devices around my house, so that was a deal breaker. I have years of experience building home and small business networks. I've tried every possible router configuration; I searched the manufacturer's knowledge base; I searched internet forums; and I tried several firmware versions. but the problem remained. I wanted to love this router so much I bought a second one (I assumed I got a defective module). But the second had the same problem with disconnecting wired devices. And the replacement also randomly disconnected the wireless devices from the internet. Maybe I was unlucky and received two defective devices. But I won't risk a third time. I'm now using the TP-LINK Archer C7 AC1750 again, which I bought from Revain in August 2015 for less than a hundred dollars. It still works perfectly even after several years of stable operation.
