Super Router, TP-LINK C2600
on September 18, 2016
Posted by: TheMerlin
from St. Louis, MO
Have needed a new router for some time. Older NetGear couldn't handle 100meg. Researched main brands and very disturbed by reliability issues per reviews. Last week decided to think outside the Linksys, Netgear box. Looked at TP-Link and saw many 5 star reviews. Checked out the C2600 and it seemed above the others. Ordered it from BB because of ease of return if any problems. Tested download speed for a benchmark before installation. Installed w/o any difficulties. My HP network printer wouldn't find the SSID for some reason and had to USB cable it for set up. Not sure what was at fault. Once done things were back to normal. Tested an older Dell laptop for the wireless and it worked. The Dell has a slower network adapter so I couldn't determine speeds. All other connections are with CAT5. So, with it operational, I tested the download speed. 65 meg. That's a 50% improvement. But then I checked the firmware. It was dated 9/15 so I updated it w/o issue, even with the PC running other apps. Update went smooth and tested download speed. Ouch, ran 138 meg depending on where I tested from. All in all so far this router is a welcomed upgrade. Obviously have to wait on long term reliability. Hasn't hiccuped once so far. Nothing to test the MU-MIMO yet.
