Review: excellent product and excellent value for money - Having read some of the reviews I can add praise for this product, very easy to set up and the wifi range is much better than my old router, the parental controls and access controls are also very good, after the firmware update the app would not reconnect so I had to power down and power on the router, but once I did this it worked fine, also like that you can add MERCUSYS cameras (not their TP Link TAPO cameras) to the system which at £14 is an excellent price

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rock‑Solid Wi‑Fi and Superb Value for Money
*by L***M on 7 March 2026*

Honestly impressed with this router. It’s been miles better than my XR1000 — stronger connection, no random lag spikes, and not a single drop since setting it up. Setup was quick and the Wi‑Fi has been solid across the whole house. For the price, it’s been a massive upgrade.
