I have had this router now for about a year. It does somethings really well like hardwired using a 2.5gbit usb lan adapter for my laptop and 2gbit fiber get download speeds exceeding 200MB/s which is really solid.

However the WiFi is dodgy I have it set to reboot every night at 2am and even then no matter the channel or band randomly will drop connections and have packet loss issues and it's random could happen 40x in one day or not at all.

I bought it because it was the cheapest router at the time with more than one 2.5 gbit port in fact all of them are which is really convenient.

WiFi coverage is ok have it pretty centered in my two story house and 5ghz coverage gets 700-900Mbit downstairs and 300-400mbit upstairs which is adequate for streaming 4K everywhere. Wife's MBP is the only device that uses the 6ghz channel and she has no complaints.

TLDR version great hardwired, so so for WiFi reliability

It has a 2.4 ghz band. It also lets you create seperate SSID for IoT.

The whole ban thing started under the Biden administration is dead in the water, it was nothing more than other router manufacture company lobbyist who didn't want to compete with TP-Link on price pushing to black list them so they could charge ridiculous prices for their routers....... It was never about spying. As of late last year and all of this year there has not been a single update or push for any banning by the current administration, and since TP-Link took all the measures the government asked, including forming a new parent company in California the chances of a ban are almost non existent. If you go into other TP-Link threads you can find all the articles I posted stressing the same I just dont feel like going through them all myself to find them again.

As for the recent good prices, probably because they are mass producing these guys in numbers that none of the 3 other main router manufactures can even come close to if they were to combine their production lines. With mass production and market share comes lower prices. Not to mention its an Amazon partnership anytime you see the 20% off with their reward cards.

I'm 99% sure that if you pay with points, you do not earn the cashback, unless you only earn cashback on the amount paid after points. I just redeem mine as a credit onto the card.

This is a crazy good price, just remember because it uses internal atennas range expectation only good for homes around 1500-2000sq ft for optimal performance. I am hoping to catch a deal on the 10gig version for under $200 or else I would be all over this!

Yeah look at my comment above, this is well reviewed and a steal at this price for such high end hardware.

I remember reading months ago about a potential TP-Link ban in the US due to security concerns, was that resolved?

Forums are filled with various issues on this router like random disconnects, rebooting every few days, security vulnerabilities, unstable, lack of firmware updates, limited range, slow speeds. Buying this is like buying a bunch of headaches for a discount!😆

What i dont get is that, if its so good as its states, why is it frequently returned? Honestly would be all over this if i didnt hear so many polarizing points about this router.
