Review: TP-Link Archer C3150 AC3150 router

Priced identically to the D-Link DIR-879, TP-Link has taken this router in a very different direction. Forget the glitz and glam of D-Link's bright orange product; the archer has worn a business suit to work. It might not stand out as much, but how does it compare to D-Link's mainstream offering?

Disappointed, it didn't last

It worked well for the first month, after the second month the 2G network disappeared, which was a problem for a few devices that only support 2G. It appears the 2GHz network had burnt out, but the 5GHz was still working great.

Defective

The router turned out to be defective. I sent it in to the manufacturer for a replacement. I should have gone with Netgear.

Easy Setup, Super Fast

I use my home wifi for home office, media streaming, home automation, gaming, you name it. I couldn't be happier with this router. I get MUCH better performance, both up and down, and the range covers my entire house.

It's been a slow start for Broadcom's entry into the MU-MIMO router market. The company's 4x4 802.11ac chipset made its first appearence in super-high-end AC5300 class routers like NETGEAR's R8500 Nighthawk X8 and ASUS' RT-AC5300 late last year.

TP-Link Archer C3150 802.11AC Router Review

It is fairly safe to say that the Wi-Fi 802.11ac marketplace is in the midst of an old fashioned 'Megahertz War' with two main companies pushing the speed boundaries. On one side is Broadcom and their latest MU-MIMO-based take on 802.11ac, while on the other side is Qualcomm, both pushing...
