TP-Link Archer A6 AC1200 Wireless MU-MIMO Gigabit Router

Had it a couple weeks now, using for Voyager 1Gb down internet. Picked it up as it has 1Gb LAN & WAN ports, where a lot of others were only 10/100 LAN ports. Has been working a treat. It did take a minute for me to sus out I needed the VLAN tagging configured for Voyager UFB to work. After that was set, smooth sailing. WiFi has been working fine, I only have my phone on it as the PC is via network cable. I haven't changed any settings and it has better reach than the old Vodafone WiFi.

This is a decent router, especially considering the price. It is easy to set up thanks to the Tether app, provides a stable connection, and reasonable speeds across multiple devices. The range is good too, covering the whole of my house when positioned centrally.

Needed it as a VDSL router with Slingshot. Had to look up instructions on how to setup the VLAN 10 on the connection (Google it). Once setup, working fine. Didn't use the other features like the wireless on it though (have a separate AP for that instead) so can't review that.

Purchased this router for home connecting often more than 4+ devices at a time and the coverage area in my house is now awesome and the speed of my fibre has jumped up - such a good price and easy to set up :) Have been using for 2 weeks now and is going so well. Looks a little more conspicuous with it's antenna's and being black but it's compact and the performance makes up for looks ;)

This was purchased as an upgrade to the “free” modem that came with out internet provider. Installation was an easy step by step process. We seen an Instant increase in our wifi speeds straight away. It handles running our PS4 (via cat cable) and Xbox one (via wifi) fine. Only down side is the wifi has dropped out on the odd occasion (but much better than the other modem) I would recommend this for anyone who wants an upgrade from the nasty free modems. I’m happy with this purchase.

Had an immense amount of trouble setting the router up to connect with my ISP (Slingshot). PBT and Slingshot tech support were both very helpful but neithers advice managed to get the router to connect. They did give me a basic understanding of what the issue might have been. I ended up turning a protocol on that both PBT and Slingshot tech support had said should be turned off, this immediately got it working. I'm no networking engineer but I do know my way around tech, this was at the extreme limits of my ability to troubleshoot. On that note, I wouldn't recommend this product unless you also have some experience with tech troubleshooting for the initial set up. Once working I can't fault the product. It's much faster than the stock router, doesn't seem to ... MoreHad an immense amount of trouble setting the router up to connect with my ISP (Slingshot).

It's much faster than the stock router, doesn't seem to randomly drop connection with the ISP like the stock router did and we're also getting far better range on the built in WiFi

Best bang for the buck!

Excellent router that's easy to set up. I had it working properly in 20 minutes. It's used primarily for streaming content to no less than 3 TV's throughout my home. The perfomance of the router has been flawless. I highly recommend this router.

Best mid-range router ever!

I've owned a couple of TP-Link routers and for me, they have always worked wonderfully. This MU-MIMO technology is just "icing on the cake". We're in a 2600 sq ft two-story home and this AC1200 covers the entire home beautifully with no dead spots for either the 2.4GHz and the 5GHz signal. I highly recommend!

Surprisingly difficult to setup in AP mode on an existing network, not recommended for absolute beginners. WAN port can be used for internal network though, making the total usable ports 5.

This Pressure Cooker is better quality than the other brand I bought before. Good job Kogan.

Great pressure cooker, I used it to cook bean and it was nice. Thanks Kogan.
