Good for simple home networking or novice use. Frustrating lack of features and configuration for advanced users.
I am not a networking pro, but I do like to have control over as much as possible. These routers appear to be designed to take away as much control as possible. The system requires the installation of an app on a mobile device and an account will have to be created with TP-Link. I much prefer a good old fashion webserver on the router and a local IP address to handle all my configuration.
That's all opinion. Now for the facts. When this system is working, it is working very well. File transfer speeds from my work desktop to my file server are incredible. Streaming HD video via online providers or my local media server are fantastic. I can't imagine anyone being disappointed with the speed of this thing when it's working right, but that is the issue. When it isn't working right it is a PITA and the customer support is obviously scripted. When you finally get through the scripted part, there is a language barrier to contend with. We eventually did solve the issue, but it required a debug firmware sent to me to solve it.
The most frequent problems I had:
- Devices on the network with IP address and responding to ping, but unreachable via SSH or FTP.
- Devices on the network but unable to access internet.
- One of the 3 routers would always be disconnected from the mesh network.
- Frequent reboots needed to have everything working again.
Like I said, when it works, it works well. When something stops working, it's frustrating because of the overly simple interface. Given the opportunity I would not buy these again for myself. For my the grandparents or anyone with modest needs it would probably be sufficient.
