Review on πŸ”Œ TP-Link Archer A20: Advanced AC4000 Smart WiFi Router with MU-MIMO, VPN Server, and Antivirus/Parental Control by Daniel Espinoza

Unreliable product for computers and accessories

UPDATE 10/11/19: See my TP-Link answer below. What are we looking for in electronics these days? Products we can rely on. TP Link Archer A20 is not like that. Installed in mid-July. It was easy to set up and everything worked as expected. It is now early October. The device no longer works. Just literally stopped for no apparent reason even though the power is still on. I tried turning the power on and off and it didn't work. 3 hours off and on again. Great, some goblin, I thought. it was sunday worked 1 day. Monday afternoon I got a call from home that the internet was down again. When I got home and went to troubleshoot with the Tether app, I received a message that I needed to enter my password. Only the message came from the Wi-Fi screen on my iPhone, not the Tether app. Then when I entered the password, it said it was wrong. This is a password that I wrote down in a safe place and triple checked. It's not a modem because I plugged in our old 2012 Airport Extreme router and it works fine. I think this device has a temperature related hardware failure as it only works for a while after turning it back on.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.
