This is a very capable router, especially at this price point. It has many more features, and a significantly longer range than the plusnet router it replaces. It is only a month in, but so far there are no complaints.

Used as an AP. Very easy to set up and install. Seems to provide a decent signal strength and can't really fault for the price. My only concern might be the durability of the case, but if it's not placed anywhere it may be damaged, why worry?

I recently changed to Virgin Active for a variety of reasons. Happy with the speed, but their "Hub5" did not afford coverage in our house and their was too much Jitter causing some packet loss. This is something that the BT Router had well under control - now with Virgin so I had best sort it... PROS: Coverage/Range - the complete house, a 2 up and one down with garden and garage, is fully covered by the WiFi now. No patches of no coverage - even deep in the loft you will get a good signal from the Router. Ease of use - Whilst I did not need any instructions, I connected the router and the Virgin Hub did what it needed, act as a modem. Connect to the modem, plug the router in and switch on. 3 minutes later full connectivity. CONS: Build Quality - it feels cheap and tacky but not flimsy. I did not buy it to look at it because it is ugly and looks like a transformer flattened by a Lorry. Instructions - if you are a technophobe then the instructions that come with this device will give you a migraine. All in all the device loses 1 star for abysmal documentation - otherwise it is a cheap and effective router for the ever-lasting Virgin Hub issues.

Very good router, easy to setup, works excellent. Quality build, great software. I really like WiFi 6 and connection great and reliable. I bought another one for my parents as well. It's just excellent 👍

Although this is a decent Wi-Fi router, that is very easy to setup and has a decent feature set, at a very low price, the coverage leads a lot to be desired. I originally bought this to only connect some IoT devices, and I was struggling with connection issues no matter where I put it and how I configured it. In the end, I replaced it with the (a very similarly priced) AX3000 variant, and it worked flawlessly out the box with no tinkering and I can basically put it anywhere. I originally wanted to put the router out the way in the loft, but with the AX1500 in there, nothing would connect to it. The AX3000 in the loft now and everything connects to it perfectly. Even the devices furthest away from it still have a decent connection. Simply put, if you want something with decent signal strength, don't get this. Get the AX3000 instead.

Good

You need to download the firmware from the official website and update it manually. I was experiencing spikes and/or packet loss exactly every 10 minutes; the problem improved after enabling Access Point Mode (no internet connection without the old router), and after updating the firmware from 1.2.0 to 1.3.3 revision V2, the problem disappeared completely and the router is now working perfectly. For some reason, this router cannot update automatically; it simply does not detect the update. P.S. The firmware update didn’t help. The router is working terribly. I removed the provider’s router from the chain, but that didn’t help. The Vodafone Gigabox router actually performed far better than this one, even though it only delivered half the advertised Wi-Fi speed

Bon produit, facile à configurer.

Quando il modem/router fornito dal provider mostra i limiti per impossibilità di configurazioneavanzata e/o numero limitato di connessioni ecco che questo router Mercusys viene in aiuto senza spendere un capitale. Nota bene, è solo router senza modem. Quindi bisogna continuare ad usare il modem del provider per interfacciarsi alla linea. Detto questo, il modem offre prestazioni oneste. Sufficientemente veloce, gestisce bene una cinquantina (magari anche di più) di connessioni contemporanee e consente una configurazione con tutti i principali parametri. E' un wifi 6 ax1500 quindi piuttosto veloce ed in linea con le potenzialità dei dispositivi attuali. La copertura è abbastanza buona e laddove questa non è sufficiente ha il supporto alla rete Easy Mesh che consente di ampliare la copertura con ripetitori compatibili. Intendiamoci, è un router di 30 euro, non può confrontarsi con dispositivi che costano 10 volte tanto. Per contro, con una spesa irrisoria consente di avere una rete decente sicuramente migliore di quella del router del provider. Per mio conto, l'unica pecca è di avere solo 2 porte GBE. 4 sarebbe stato meglio. Devo evidenziare che appartiene alla famigli Tp-Link, quindi un sottoprodotto di un marchio famoso. Non è la solita cinesata. Ha avuto un aggiornamento da quando lo posseggo e sono riuscito a farlo riconoscere agevolmente (come modem Tp-Link) da Homeassistant. Per conto mio promosso

DOBRZE! Moje mieszkanie nie jest duże, ale jest pokój, w którym zawsze nie ma sygnału. Mogę uzyskać 300M w salonie, ale w tej sypialni mam tylko 10M z modemu Play. Mercusys uzyskują jednocześnie 60M, znacznie lepiej.

J'ai acheté ce routeur pour étendre la portée de mon réseau WIFI à mon domicile car le routeur fournit par mon fournisseur d'accès à internet n'est vraiment pas suffisant et je dois dire que je ne suis pas déçu du résultat ! Possédant des RJ45 dans presque toute les pièces de mon habitation, j'ai simplement raccordé le port ethernet du routeur à mon réseau à l'étage (zone ou la couverture WIFI était la plus faible, voir même inexistante) et me voila avec du WIFI dans toute mon habitation (maison unifamiliale de 200m²). Le signal est même suffisant pour l'étage du dessous ! J'en ai même profiter pour supprimer le WIFI du routeur de mon fournisseur d'accès et je ne fonctionne plus qu'avec celui du TP-LINK. Les trois antennes sont orientable, et à l'arrière du routeur, une multitude de boutons pour activer/désactiver le WIFI, activation poussoir WPS,... Mise en place très simple : Plug And Play, je n'ai même pas eu besoin du cd d'installation pour le faire fonctionner. Je recommande !

Llevo ya casi un año usándolo y todo ha resultado de maravilla, la manera de configurarlo es muy sencilla, lo recomiendo la señal que da es muy buena y tiene bastante distancia
