Fails to show correct upload and download for pretty much every device. Does not display network speed. Riddled with ads for their subscription services (if your free services don't work, what possibly makes you think I would trust your paid ones?) Overall, just a horrendous experience. Should have bit the bullet and bought Ubiquiti.

Range Extenders in AP mode lose Internet connection. I can get the range extenders connected to the router, but as soon as I switch them from wireless extensions to Access Point mode everything falls apart. The range extenders lose Internet connection. I've set them up countless times, trying many different things, and it leads to the same issue over and over. For $150 - $200 a piece, this setup process is garbage. For that price, it better be flawless. About time I return to get my $600.

Tp-Link what happened to you? At the beginning of this year I had no issues. Now I'm continually having problems. I pay a subscription and it doesn't do what the app says it's doing. It will make me log in 5-6 times and tell me the password I know is right is wrong until I get a popup that I'm locked out- then it lets me in! I continue to have problems with the service I pay for being active in the app. I actually preferred to use this more than any other but now? time for another brand.
