Revainrating 4 out of 5

GREAT hardware - pathetic instructions

First, you will need your own Cat-45 network cables as this unit does NOT provide them. connected to a secondary SSID that I set up and I have a Smart TV, Xbox, iMac, iPhone and iPad connected with full bands). The IP address range is 192.168.0.xxx. Many routers use 192.168.1.xxx. Therefore, you need to configure TP-Link so that the IP address is in the range of your ROUTER so that it can broadcast the secondary SSID. This is done manually using another desktop/laptop that is physically connected (Cat-45 cable) to the device. I used my laptop. Don't be afraid to ask your closest friend, neighbor or family member who works in IT for help. If you can set up a router for your home network, you CAN do it. As I said before, the problem is the different IP address ranges. So once you've got the device set up to work on YOUR network for the first time, you should be fine. 4 stars overall as the instructions provided should be checked as the various setup options (access point, client, bridge etc.) should show examples for non-IT people.

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Some issues
