TP-Link AC1900 Archer VR900

Ok product but sign can drop out at times – Product does the job well but sometimes it randomly drops out which can be frustrating. The TP Link hotline is helpful though in troubleshooting issues.

Best option for a small family – The router was very easy to set up. Could be connected to more than 8 devices at a single time without a drop of connection. With the mobile app it’s very convenient to use as well. Once in a while there’s a stop in the connection but a quick restart will fix it up. After using it for more than two years I’m delighted to say that this router is very good for a non techsavy family Show details ·  1

Works perfectly on NBN FTTC – Just connected to the NBN Fibre-To-The-Curb and was hoping my TP-Link Archer VR900 router would work, if for no other reason than I would not have to set new passwords in about 20 wireless devices. It works perfectly! If you are swapping from ADSL to NBN using this modem, logon to the modem 192.168.1.1, then select the Advanced tab, Operation mode… Read more

and change to Wireless Router Mode. Save and reboot. Then select Basic, Internet, and Connection Type to PPPoE. Tick the Enable checkbox for VDLAN ID and enter 2. Internet connection type PPPoE, then your ISP user name and password. Save and you're done. (These settings are for iinet) This router has worked flawlessly for 8 months on ADSL-2, and was bought from Officeworks with the future NBN in mind. Completely reliable and has never dropped connection with my smart tv as previous modem did. Simple to setup, and use.

Great Product! – After a month of reviewing and comparing Modem/Routers, we were more than content to follow through with the TP Link 1900 for our NBN Fttp Connection, even after knowing the product is hard to come by. We purchased it through Harvey Norman and setting it up was very easy. Coverage is excellent although we have an old extender in use for a large… Read more

single storey house, with the furthest part of the house pushing around 90Mbps. No buffering, lag or drop outs like we had with the old Modem, and downloads are fast whilst having 6 devices in use. For $219 it’s a great product.

It’s great. No dropouts – I have been using this modem for 2 months now on the NBN. I have not had any issues with signal dropouts or any other issues with this modem. I have used it for smart and cable tv and mobile communications with great signal both inside and outside of the house. Very easy to set up. Has 4 ports which is all I need for my requirements. Received a very good price from Harvey Norman where I purchased it from as well. Show details

i am so stoked with this modem, – It's my very first bought modem and am very happy. The set up was ridiculously easy and the transfer rate is great. it beats in house modem providers. Thanks TP-Link Show details

Excellent router - highly recommended – I purchased this router after reading the good reviews and it did not disappoint. Setting it up for our ADSL connection was easy and we have had minimal drop outs (mostly caused by the ISP). Good thing is that it is also future proof for use with NBN. The router covers our 2 storey townhouse pretty well, no black spots. A little expensive but… Read more

well worth thr investment. Would highly recommend this modem for someone in a situation similar to mine.

Connect perfectly still after 4 years – Connects home with 5 people perfectly. I don't even know it's there. No drop outs for last 4 year, works great always on. Tested use of about 6 watts so not too bad for efficiency More than one year still don't know it's there. Plus over covid home schooling and work no problem. Moved home to five bedroom. Show details ·  2

A good performer that's easy to setup – My IInet Budi was starting to play up dropping connections here and there so after a bit of research I chose the Tp-Link VR900. The setup is easy with most internet providers settings given in a pull down during the setup. Just follow the setup guide with the initial password and channel ID’s on a card from the box & a tag on the base of the… Read more

modem. When it’s up and running you’ll have 1 X 2.4Ghz and 1 X 5Ghz channel (Your main network). The remaining 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz channels are the guest network and need to be enabled from the web browser interface. Your phones & TV etc can go on the guest network. You can change the channel names and passwords and any other setting easily in the interface, if you stuff up press the reset on the modem to go back to factory settings and start again. TIP: A text & No password with no symbols is easier for phones in the guest network. When you are happy with the result in the advanced area of the interface you can back up your settings to a file you can store somewhere. TIP: You might want to keep a *.docx on a removable stick with your passwords on it. You will forget them. When you need them plug in the stick and copy & paste. All good so far but there are two downers. The USB printer interface program didn’t work too well with my printers so I went back to wireless connected printers using the modem and printers WEP buttons. It doesn’t have a VOIP outlet which’ll have to be a $50 CISCO box if I go to the NBN. Conclusion: It’s a good modem / router that’s easy to setup. It increased my ADSL speed with no dropouts and lost packets after a week. My VPN goes through it without changing any settings and my Virus checker and firewall are happy with it. More features than I’ll use in the manual off the Tp-link web site.

Speed and wifi improvement – Bought this after researching good reviews, including on Product Review. Most the comments I read proven true. In my experience, the wifi signal has the most improvement and I no longer need an extender. Connection speed got a bit faster by 2kpbs compare to my old Belong modem. Happy with the purchase all in all. The unit does seem to run hot, especially the bottom part. There is no dropout so far and everything seem stable, no need for reboot. Show details

Best modem & router ever! – A great product from tp-link. Have had it for around a year and a half now, and it's a real performer. Great steady reliable connection and speeds. Easy to set up. Very light in weight for its performance. Aesthetically appealing. The 2.4GHz signal reaches areas of the apartment that my previous routers wouldn't reach.  Show details

Does the job well – Bought this modem as one recommended by my ISP and after reading many reviews which were mostly very positive and gave a high rating. First one I bought was defective - would not sync with NBN. Returned it to Officeworks and received a replacement - same model. This one worked perfectly first time it was connected. Full marks to Officeworks for… Read more

their full replacement policy too. I have a larger house - single level but large living areas and 5 bedrooms. The modem is not quite in the centre of the house. We still get a connection at the furthest point away from the modem, and although only 1 or 2 bars, can still use a wireless connection on the computer in that room without any real problem. This modem is also quite compact compared to others with similar specs (Netgear Nighthawk for example), which is another reason I chose it. Got it on sale at Officeworks for a great price at the time ($199). Very happy so far.

Stable and hassle free – Chose this device after returning a Netgear Nighthawk D7000 because USB sharing didn't work. So far it has performed faultlessly on my NBN FTTN connection - no dropouts at all. File sharing and DLNA streaming works perfectly, and WiFi range is good - the D7000 was better, but the VR900 is still reasonable. User interface is OK, but I've seen… Read more

better, and setup was fairly easy on my Optus VDSL2 connection.

The 2.4Ghz band is only 450Mbps, not 600Mbps as stated on the box, which actually makes this an AC1750 device, not AC1900 as TP-Link claim.

Overall I would recommend this unit.

Great all rounder – Had to buy this modem in a pinch when my previous died all of a sudden. With little time to research I took a gamble on this one. Features alone this modem excels with ADSL and NBN availability along with the ability to plug in mobile dongle for 3/4G wireless support. Setup was simple, speed is great and the wireless coverage is to the point that it's negating my wireless extender. Very capable device.  Show details

Brilliant Modem and great Price – This modem is perfect for both ADSL and NBN. I've tested on both thoroughly and it has been flawless in its operation. The selling point with this modem is the WiFi range. It's over 15m and plenty enough for most standard houses. It's price is good as an <$400 modem, and whether you use it directly as a ADSL/VDSL modem or whether you use it as a WiFi Router, it's excellent.  Show details

Really good!! – Setup of the ARCHER VR900 was easy. Just logged into the router via the web browser, type in a new password, add your user name and password to your internet account and done! I'm on a ADSL 2+ package and first tried the VR900 by playing a 1080p you tube video on my laptop and desktop PC simultaneously, connected through wifi. Both Worked… Read more

seamlessly. With my very OLD Tp-link N300 router, that was impossible. Now i'm getting the maximum out of my ADSL 2+ internet package. This Modem/router looks really good. Seems well built. It can be used as a modem, router or Both, which I am doing at the moment. So far everything has been great, but I will log back in again to update the good, the bad and the Ugly, If any!
