Great Idea, beware that some ISP's not supported

Read reviews and decided to take the plunge.  Hoped to dump Q-west. Install was not real difficult.  Unfortunately I'll have to unplug the system as it's voice quality is unsatisfactory.  The persons listening to our voice on the non-OOMA side experience constant break ups and becoming unintelligible at times.  After a number of calls to customer service and adjustments to the upload speed in the OOMA knowledge base, I received an e-mail from a 3rd level engineer that my ISP is not supported by OOMA and it thus will not be fixable.  I have Clearwire, which is a wireless ISP, with current downloads of 9.70 M/ps and uploads of 3.46 M/ps.  None of the advertising, literature or reviews made any mention of this fact, so now I have a $200 boat anchor.  Clearwire sells a VOIP package, so it is very posssible to do over their network, just not satisfactory for OOMA.  One other quirk is that all calls within the area code of the device get a busy signal, if the 10 digit number is dialed.  In order to contact numbers within your area code you must use the 7 digit number, without the area code.

Easy to setup and worked with Xfinity service, for the most part... Unfortunately, the modem/router did not allow Netflix to stream through Xbox One.  Appears to cause a Netflix NW-2-5 connection error.  From what I've researched, TP-Link working on a firmware upgrade but did not see details or official statement on date for firmware upgrade.

I'm sure this is a great router, however, my ISP was not compatible with the router.  Sounds bizarre but when I talked to ASUS tech support because I could not connect he had me do a 'Whats my IP address' and it came back 173.xxx.xxx.xxx he told me ASUS is incompatible with an IP address beginning with 174. Amazon was great, they took it back with no questions asked.

Currently this device is not officially supported by TP-Link for Windows 10 usage, only the version 2 will officially work with windows 10 out of the box. That being said, following other reviewers instruction, I was able to hobble together the drivers and got it working. It took a while to get it to work correctly. So if you have windows 10, if your savvy with computers you can make it work, but if you want plug and play, look for the newer versions of this device. Also I was unable to get it to connect to an xfinity wifi hotspot for some reason, so I don't know if this device has issues with captive portals or not, or if it is just a result of the jimmy rigged drivers. Buyer beware.

Other than those issues it works as advertised. I am using this device to supplement my laptops bandwidth (not speed) through channel bonding, and it works very well for load balancing my downloads. I am able to connect to two different wifi networks and channel bond them to distribute the load.

It's very important to read the other reviews here and read some online articles before buying. These DO NOT work in every home, and you'll have no way to tell if they'll work in yours until you try. But when they do work -- and they usually do -- they're great. The one thing I'd emphasize is that the speed you get in practice isn't EVEN CLOSE to what the manufacturers advertise. The manufacturers have devised a ratings loophole the size of a cruise ship that enables them to vastly exaggerate the speed you'll actually get. 500 Megabits per second? Not even. In practice, you'll get in the 30s or maybe low 40s maximum. That's fast enough for the vast majority of home users, and fast enough for a single Netflix UHD stream, but if you need higher speeds, you MUST hire an electrician and have her physically run an Ethernet cable through your walls, no way around it.

This is a great idea for those who travel, have 2 homes or do not want an extra cable/ satelllite box and TV in the bedroom. Does what it says, but read and understand the fine print. Only works with Windows XP and some mobile devices (at extra cost). There is no Mac, Linux software which has been promised since January 2006.

The sling ethernet AC wall plug option is a waste of time. You need a hardwire ethernet connection to your internet local LAN and good bandwidth from your ISP to make it worth while. Bottom line is this is still an early adaptor technology, but will work well with some tweaking and patients

This router is excellent for the speed and amount of features. However It doesn't have IPv6 support which some people may want to test it out.

This product is a great idea, but after hours of trying, I could not get it to connect to my WEP protected network, even though all of my information is correct, and I attempted installation using several different routers.  I could connect to a friends Open network just fine, but if it won't work with my home network, it's useless to me.

A great 5-star 802.11g router, I got two.

But it is poor in wireless bridge mode. The web admin interface does not handle 'Wireless Bridge' mode configuration well, there is no status for Wireless Bridge, or elaborated help doc .

Even if you can make it to work, the speed on the bridged side is low (70 Kbps). The Tech support seemed unfamiliar with bridge support ( they seemed happily surprised that the bridge mode actually worked)

Only installing the basic setup I encountered problems with intermittently not being able to access the internet on either my laptop or my spouses laptop.  Had to call tech support for help with suggested advanced settings.  All seems to be working OK for the past couple of weeks.  If you need to call support, just be aware that you'll most likely be speaking with someone with a heavy accent from China. This is something I would encourage upper management to remedy by bringing support back to America.

This has worked great. Wanted to stream movies from laptop to TV in living room. Wifi router in back bedroom over 60 ft away. On wifi was getting 13 mbps on laptop. Not bad but now I get 52 mbps with these adapters.  I am paying for 50 mbps from bright house. I now have the cable coming out of the power line adapter behind the TV connected to an 8 port switch. I have connected the TV, laptop, and Xbox to a wired connection from this one adapter with consistent 52-56 Mbps. ONE PROBLEM: when the power line adapters were plugged into the router, my wifi on my iPhone's and iPad would not allow internet connection. The phones would show that wifi was connected, then it would say "cannot open page - server not found."  This was very frustrating to say the least since the power line adapters were working as advertised. After much anger, I figured out that apparently the router was having trouble giving out ip addresses. I manually entered static ip addresses into the 2 iPhones and iPad and they connected correctly in a millisecond.  I also entered static ip addresses into the Xbox and TV.  PROBLEM SOLVED. A simple solution if your wifi seems to fail when you use these.

Works as advertised and got it provisioned by Comcast without issue.  Now, there's a few things to note.  First, although the modem might support 1.4Gbps download, it has a 1Gbps Ethernet port on the back.  So you'll never get more than that even if a cable provider did.  Second, this modem does not include any form of firewall or router, so you'll need to plug this into the Internet port on the back of your access point.

Didn't work with my ISP. If you are using DSL or PPPoE setting, it might not work. After talked with tech support from Google for  few hours, couldn't solve the problem.

Great to have this when technology fails you in certain regions!

Here is a follow-up to my earlier post.
I ended up returing my 2nd Linksys. Though it worked a bit better it still kept crashing when doing port forwarding!
I got an SMC Barricade instead - works flawlessly and it even has a print server!! I can heartily recommend the SMC, this is what the Linksys should have been. Clearly it was shipped too early.

This is such a cool idea for a product and when it's working well it's amazing. I love all the motion detection and doorbell video options and the cloud storage for monitoring or looking back at past video. But, unfortunately, there are still too many links for this to be on the market. Customer service is awesome and even replaced my original unit but more problems problems. It drops wifi regularly and you must take it down to reconnect. And most recently it wouldn't power up and when I pulled it off the mount, the connections on back of doorbell and on the mount are corroding (I carefully placed the unit under protection from rain). It's an outside doorbell. It has to be built to withstand normal air humidity and moisture. Great invention Ring - but keep testing and making changes and bring this back out to customers when you advance that technology and the durability of the unit. I would buy again in a few years with changes!

Dr. Bear got it right. I could not successfully set this router up even to connect to the Internet. The only support that I could get was chat support, and that was a joke. I spent over 4 hours trying everything I could, changing the router ip so as not to conflict with the modem, etc. The modem recognized the router, but the router would not pass any traffic through. Ironically, you could get better support if you bought a $40.00 consumer router.

An update to my previous review (one star to three stars): I finally got connected after applying a firmware update. Also found out from reading a review on another site that you must make sure to have Gateway mode selected when using this device behind a modem. However, my criticism of the support still stands, in that you only get telephone support Monday through Friday. The phone message says the hours are 5:00 AM to 5:00 PM local time, without mentioning which time zone they are referring to. The instructions that accompany the router are inadequate. I hope that I will not regret keeping this router as I implement vpn and other features. Perhaps the problems that Dr. Bear experienced were resolved in the firmware update that I applied (dated March 27 2014). The gui interface is fairly good as these things go, and the device performs well when it is finally working. Why a company such as this shoots itself in the foot with bad firmware on release and poor support is beyond my comprehension.
