Great so far
I like tp-link routers because they have a simple UI and then an advanced one which lets you configure lots of stuff (power forwarding, address reservation, custom nameservers, custom subnet masks, mac binding, bandwidth limits, etc). I was able to set it up and running in minutes.
I'm using it with init7 and I've measured my internet speed with speedtest on Windows and it was ~3200 Mbps up/down, which is ~15% than what I was getting with Centro Business 3 from Swisscom. As for wi-fi, when the router is ~5m away (and inside a closet) my phone still does ~600-800 Mbps down / 700-1200 Mbps up, and the Quest 3 reaches ~850/750. My phone used to disconnect a lot but haven't noticed anything of the sort with this router.
Only trivial complaints so far. For example, it's a bit annoying getting spammed about creating an account, but I had one anyway. It's also a bit annoying that the router often redirects to tplinkwifi.net which some times fails to resolve if you don't use the router for DNS (I am running pihole so it was a few clicks to fix, but not sure how it would work with init7's DNS). I'm having some issue with a remote RaspberryPi connecting to my (port forwarded) wireguard server, but it might be an issue of the remote network or a config issue.Pro
- Speed improvement over 10Gbps LAN
- Speed/coverage improvement over 2/5GHz
- Wi-Fi 7 / 6Ghz
- Advanced features
Contra
- Combo ports => only 1 outgoing 10Gbps connection
Flawless
To put it simply, this router works perfectly. The only real flaw is that connected drives cannot really be conveniently used by friends as cloud storage, as they can only be accessed via FTP (not even FTPS, let alone SFTP is available). That's ridiculous.
An internal power supply unit would also have been nice for this size.Pro
- Fast user interface
- Multicast via WLAN without dropouts
- Very regular updates
- SFT+ port with 10Gbit
- Absolutely stable connection
Contra
- An external power supply unit despite the size of the housing
- Media server unfortunately only with simple FTP support
Perfect

Good router
After more than 8 years, I bought a new wireless router. I was surprised by how easy it is to use and set up and I am completely satisfied.
Pro
- Good app
- Simple operation
- Unobtrusive design
Weak signal
Wifi 7 performance in large spaces is a marketing illusion. If you have walls, wood and length, a Wifi 7 won't replace your repeaters, despite the promise. So it's expensive and pointless if you're looking for better coverage. The interface is OK, but it's a shame you have to sign up to access the advanced services, some of which charge a fee. It's a question of paying twice and getting your traffic whistled at the same time. In short, a basic product with the same advertised performance will give you the same service.
Pro
- Powerful BP nearby
Contra
- Radio too weak
