TP-Link16x4 AC1750 Wi-Fi Cable Modem Router | Gateway | 680Mbps DOCSIS 3.0 - Certified for Comcast XFINITY, Spectrum, Cox and more (Archer CR700)

UPDATE for Xfinity/Comcast customers: After about a month, I too experienced intermittent disconnects that became more and more frequent. Also connection speeds were sluggish. I called Comcast Customer Service. I told them that I had self-registered the modem online, and I described the issues I was having. The agent explained to me that even if you self-register, you must also call to provide the following information: Model number, serial number, and MAC address. Once the agent entered those values into the Comcast system, problems almost immediately cleared up. This was several weeks ago, and I have had no issues since then. Speeds are great and the connection has not dropped once. The key point is that even if you self-register, you still need to call customer service and provide the three pieces of information I noted above. It is still an excellent modem/router for me, and I still highly recommend it.I have had CR700 for about a week. Setup was extremely easy. I had it set up and activated online with Xfinity within 20 minutes. (Full disclosure, I am a retired CIO with extensive tech knowledge and ability). Both wireless bands perform excellently. I have not experienced any disconnects in either band and throughput is outstanding. When you consider the financial side of it, it beats paying a rental fee each month forever. I think the CR700 is an excellent product at a very good price. I have no cons to report. I highly recommend the CR700.

This modem was very easy to set up for use on Mediacom. I think from the moment I had it plugged in and turned on, it was 4 minutes or less and I was connected. The modem is very fast with my Mediacom 200Mbs service. It has a wide area for Wi-Fi. My unit is in the basement and yet all devices connected with Wi-Fi upstairs never have a weak signal. And even though I have a brick house, the Wi-Fi is good outdoors, too. I bought this six months ago and it has consistently given excellent performance and won't take too long before it will have paid for itself by not paying a monthly lease to the IPS. This has been well worth the money.The admin page is well laid out and easy to make any changes, if you want to do that.I originally bought a modem router which I hate to say, but an Amazon technical person said would work with Mediacom, and then when I got it, found that Mediacom said it was on their do not buy list. Amazon was very good about the return and I bought this CR700 which is listed as very favorable by Mediacom. You can't go wrong with this product!

When I first started looking for a Cable modem/router, I thought I had done my research. I looked for a device with good ratings and well known brand, good number of connection channels with the provider (16x4), DOCSIS 3.0, etc. I settled on this one, even though it was a little bit above what I wanted to pay by about double. But I figured I would be getting a better product for the money. I guess I was wrong.Pros: Nice web interface, although a little too simplistic for me... But for that I am NOT marking any stars down. Simple and easy to use is a very good thing. With that said, it was not enough to bring my rating up any. The look of this device is one of the things that made me want to get it. This is a slick looking design and would look good anywhere.Cons: Web Interface in the advanced section on Port Forwarding and other sections. It only shows 5 entries at a time, and then makes you go to the next page. What idiot thought that only showing 5 at a time before requiring me to page would be smart. At least allow for me to click to show all as I have many port forwards. The unit, because of the height and narrowness of it, is a little unstable once all the network cables are attached and weighing it down. The cables make it lift up on the front, or tip over easily. Previous report of bad firmware being shipped with the item. I have not had any of the reported problems, but find it that there were. I knew the risks of this when I purchased it.Not tested: I do not have an opinion about the wireless portion of the router as I only connect to it with my cell phones and tablets (4 of them). I have not noticed any connection issues, nor have I noticed any greater coverage that my previous wireless router. The following section is not meant to imply anything good or bad about the wireless part of the router.Complete Failures: This is the part where I describe the complete failure that is this device. I must restart this router EVERY week, or it slows down and gets unreliable. Granted, it does not stop working, which is a small plus. Before you say it, it is not my internet service provider. I wanted to be VERY careful about that. I did 12 speed tests that tested download and upload speeds and Ping times. 6 happened before the router reboot, and 6 after. I was the only one using the router and I was hard wired with an Ethernet cable to eliminate any question that the wireless was to blame. I have a 150MB down and 15MB up connection to the internet with the provider. So I would expect something similar in my speed tests. Pre-Reboot Tests: It has been 5 days since a reboot. I wanted to do 6 tests before a reboot for consistency. 3 did not finish even the download portion of the test since the connection timed out. The other 3 tests limped along at 80MB/s download and between 9MB/s and 11MB/s upload with a ping time averaging 18ms. This download speed is only half of what I should be getting, the upload is a little bit less that what I should get, and the Ping time is at least double what it should be. What is hard to describe here, but is very easy to see in the images, is the up and down download speeds during the test. This shows how unstable the device is in its connection is to the testing server and how much information is dropped when communicating. Post-Reboot tests: Just after rebooting, I did the exact same 6 tests as done before the reboot. All 6 tests completed easily. The download speed was 180.4Mb/s average. The Upload was 12.15Mb/s average. The Ping time was a stable 9ms without fluctuation. The tests were so consistent, I had to double check that I wasn't just copying a previous result. The most telling portion of the test is the graph showing the download speed during the test. In the 6 tests, it was VERY stable and exactly what I would expect from the modem/router. This type of testing proves that it is a major modem/router issue that is yet to be resolved by TP-LINK and makes the internet connection unstable and almost not useable. It is as if the routing tables or NAT tables get full and don't know how to clean themselves up.I have checked to see if it has the latest firmware, and it does. (see below)If I could afford it, I would trash this piece and get a different brand even if it has less capabilities, as long as it was stable. This experience has almost made me loose faith in TP-LINK as a whole as being able to make a device (router, modem, switch, hub, etc) that can handle any kind of throughput OVER TIME.I have tried to work with this for about 5 months in hopes that a new firmware would come out or it would settle down. No luck.Router info: Hardware version:V1.1 Firmware Version:v1.0.5 Build 20150925 Rel338940NOTE: I was not paid anything or given anything free for review. Just a rant of a product with which I am very disappointed.I hope this review was helpful and detailed enough.

Bought this product too safe rent charges 💲💲. Sure enough it was not compatible! "Idiot" but I definitely recommend tp-link
