In December 2017 was in the market for a new router. I have been a Netgear user most of my life. Saw the TP-link Archer C2300 and it seemed to have good reviews, quick speed and extended coverage. The coverage was a problem with our Netgear and would not reach my daughters room.

Loses 5G connection; Unreliable

This router was easy to setup on my network and the phone app made it even easier. I replaced about a 10-year old router. This thing is B-L-A-Z-I-N-G fast. I have already recommended to several friends. I have about a 2000 square foot home and this is more than enough.

Its a 5 star capable router. I did drop one star only because the first unit received had issues with 5Ghz connection to certain newer android and apple IOs devices. I had to spend 2 weeks with tech support and finally ended returning the unit for a replacement and replacement works perfectly for...

(TP-Link AC2300) Quite a huge upgrade from my older model TP Link Router, so the shear performance this router is quite even more evident to me. I have well over 20 devices on my home/business network. It is definitely up to the task.

Don't let anyone tell you this won't support a gaming house hold it's a fast stable router with excellent range. We just got a 50mbps package which came with a Linksys E2500 router and with 30 feet and 2 walls between our 2 main computers it wasn't cutting it.

It was really easy to set up and get running. All the devices connected no problem, and the signal strength is much better than the old tech I was using.

Ease of set up; everything needed was included; all the devices connected; coverage seems good; and the Crutchfield staff is there to help

The LED lights on top could be larger / more prominent; you can barely tell they're on unless in low light conditions

I have been using the TP-Link Archer C2300 for a couple of weeks and like other TP-Link Wi-Fi routers I've used, this one just works. It is simple to setup and use. Setting up the TP-Link Archer C2300 for the first time is easy and you can utilize either the smartphone app (Tether) or a web-based...

Not only is TP-Link's Archer C2300 the fastest router we've seen, but it's also small, unobtrusive and chock-full of high-end features. It can protect the network from viral and hacker attacks, and you can customize it the way you want.

Top performer; Inexpensive; Built-in antivirus protection; Two-year warranty

Runs hot

It may not be correct to call TP-Link Archer C2300 the successor of since it follows a rather different path (it's more of a budget-friendly Archer AC3150 v2). So it is a very relevant device for 2017, sporting powerful internal hardware, a good wireless performance, a user-friendly interface...

Excellent Wireless Performance; User Friendly Interface; MU-MIMO; Link Aggregation To A NAS; Smart Connect

The Case Is Prone To Overheating; The Design Is Not Original

After doing a little research into routers after my current router died, I settled on TP-Link c2300, and I am glad that I did. The setup was incredibly simple. The cloud based settings and app make everything as simple as possible.
