TP-Link Archer C3150 V2 review – CNET

The TP-Link Archer C3150 V2 has just about everything you could want in a $220 Wi-Fi router (it’s not yet sold in the UK or Australia but that converts to about Ā£159 or AU$283). Its performance is consistent and its range is phenomenal. Best of all, it was super-easy to set up via the Tether app or a web interface. The app didn’t offer enough customization options, but the web interface had lots of settings you can adjust. Anyone looking to upgrade their home network for a reasonable price will love the TP-Link Archer C3150 V2.

Simple design with wall-mount option

If you’ve used TP-Link routers before, this design will be familiar. It’s all black with a few small status lights that shouldn’t be distracting. The router has a flat, rectangular shape, which will easily blend into your knick-knacks on a shelf or you can mount it on a wall.

The router is lightweight, and the back features four LAN gigabit ports and one gigabit WAN port, which are easily accessible. The side has buttons for reset, Wi-Fi on/off and WPS, along with a USB 3.0 port and a USB 2.0 port for network storage, file sharing, a printer or mobile device charging. Everything is laid out nicely, giving you convenient access whenever you need it.
