It was a simple setup. I've had no issues steaming or any problems. Decently priced and arrived quickly.

I won't even lie. This router worked great for me - strong signal, fairly insane speeds; I was getting 75mbps down (5GHz channel) and I'm pretty sure I only have a 30mbps Comcast plan. Good admin interface, everything checks out, and the price sure was right.But some vulnerability/backdoor (specifically something IPV6-related, as I noticed lots of strange traffic through that, and I normally never used ipv6 previously) got my ENTIRE house full of computers infected with a Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) related malware, where the attacker remotely modified my Windows installation to be set up as an Active Directory client, as if my PC thought it was on a corporate network, beholden to the IT administration's control. So my group policies almost all set themselves to "Managed", and I couldn't change them myself. It also spread itself to any new USB media I made with windows' official Media Creation Tool, I believe through auto-generated malicious autorun.inf's under invalid pathnames, like D:\System Volume Information\:\:autorun.inf (windows doesn't allow colons in pathnames), among many other weird and not-easily-detectable signs of tampering in my machine. Before I even noticed something was amiss, it had taken control of all the other PCs in the house including my girlfriend's. Even after a full drive wipe on any given computer, the malicious presence remained in the background.Just google "Tenda vulnerability", specifically Loki Labs' article "Tenda, is this a bad design or a backdoor?" to see what I'm talking about. Also read up on WMI malware, such as the recent Astaroth malware which I think might've been part of the type of virus I acquired, and how notorious and ancient it is as a method to compromise computers remotely. If you buy+use this router for a few days it's likely you'll even pick up a remote attacker on your network and not be able to notice it, except for some innocent-looking COM Surrogate Provider, rundll.32, Font Caching etc. (the list goes on and on) processes that blend in entirely with the operating system, because they are built-in to it. You'd be surprised just how insidious this type of infection can be, especially if you try to remove it without locking down your home network security impeccably before starting the reinstalls and everything.I've been tinkering with computers since I was almost a baby; develop software for a living and I've never seen anything quite like this until now. I'm still trying to get rid of it completely, after 2+ weeks of late nights and headaches, thinking I might've vanquished it this time only to find another subtle but unmistakable sign of infection. I've obviously ripped this router out and am preparing to return it, using my old wireless-N router for the moment, but even still this stupid attack seems to persist on all my computers, even on Ubuntu/linux (!!!), as I believe it got access to some of my laptops' UEFI firmware somewhere along the way... it's terrible, trust me, just don't mess with the Chinese brands if you value your time and privacy. I never cared either until this incident but you can bet your butt I have learned my lesson, firmly.

Okay let's start with basics.I have used Tenda and TP Link for several years. No issues. My last TP Link AT pocket router never gave me any trouble for several years. Then it took a surge.I was originally going with a cheap Linksys, well Linksys is out of date since Cisco sold them. Kind of like an old name just hanging on. The biggest problem with Linksys is they do not support NO-IP DDNS (a must for me). I use TP Link Switches, and Routers, Tenda Routers. No problems so far. I even have to do Mac Filtering because of my situation.TP Link, Tenda and Netgear all support NO-IP DDNS.You must understand this does not say it is a Wired Gigabit router. It also shows right on the picture that there are only 3 lan and one wan port. I may find out different later but this router works just fine for me. I would buy a more pricey router but this specific unit has two locations. Very hot shop and one for tablets only.If you are looking for a router that can handle a very high speed connection this is not for that. This is an entry level unit. One person said it did not have AP Mode. Not gonna dispute that because maybe it was a different firmware, but mine does have that feature.The device was simple to set up although I do have to say I was a bit dissappointed that some of the advanced features such as the lan settings are not available until you connect the lan wire.Couple more things, some were complaining of disconnects. Well I can tell you wireless is not and will probably never be perfect. At one of my jobs I have integrated a WiFi outdoor system through 4 separate isp connections all combined into one online manager system. The setup requires 6 routers, 23 access points and 30 point to point radios. And it does work. It's limited due to several hundred connected devices but it works. Total shared band width for everyone is 1,300 mbs. May upgrade to 2,000mbs soon. Don't say not possible, remember I have 4 business level connections.Even though it works one car parked in the wrong place can cause interference and block some signal or scatter it. Same in the house.If two story put upstairs not down. Don't hide behind the TV or near a Microwave or cordless phone. Even baby monitors can be a signal killer.As far as corrupted routers, I saw people were flashing with third party firmware some were refurbs. When you buy not from a known source that can happen.

I love this thing. Inexpensive, configurable, quick set-up and not too smart. Quick to set-up with app, and fairly configurable with the app, but the online settings are much broader. When I mean it's not too smart, it's because I have a mesh system in my house that decides on it's own whether or not to connect via 2.4 or 5 ghz. This sends out 2 different signals so I can ensure I'm only connecting to the 5GHZ. I am using this as an access point for remote controlling my Behringer XR18 mixer, in the online settings I have the option to bind the MAC address to the IP, this is great that I can reserve that IP address that way because the software controlling the device can find it easier with a static address vs DHCP.
