I wanted TP-LINK to knock this one out of the park. After great success with the Archer C9 and the Archer C3150, I had pretty high hopes for this unit. Network wise, it performs very well and coverage is great. Having 3 separate lanes for traffic is also a huge benefit especially for me and wanting to setup a bridge to the 2nd floor via wireless.
Where this unit missed the mark and why it isn't receiving 5 stars from me is due to the lag it has on the web interface. Oddly enough, this unit struggles with page refreshes with the unit is busy. I've monitored the HTTP traffic with a monitoring product which has recorded latency as high as 60k msec! This is an eternity to wait for a web page to refresh if you're trying to manage a device. I believe TP-LINK has a couple bugs to work out on this one yet, at least for V2. With all the horsepower this unit has, it should have no trouble especially with something as arbitrary as http traffic. Keep working at it TP-LINK, I'm looking forward to future firmware updates that will hopefully correct these issues.
