    Amazon sent me a previously returned DOA router, once that was resolved, it was great!
    Not TP-Link's fault, but the first router sent to me was in an unsealed box. Opened it up and the router still had the plastic cling on the top of it but the white bag it was supposed to be in was sitting underneath it. The router itself was dusty with obvious fingerprints. The power cord was unraveled. Also, at the time I didn't know this, but the included ethernet cable was missing.Figured I would give it a try. Nope, wouldn't even power on. Then I got really suspicious, checked the serial # on the router vs the one on the box. They didn't match, in fact, the router was a Ver 2 while the box was for a Ver 3!!!The return was fairly easy. Print off a label and drop it off at an Amazon Locker.So, in the meantime, I checked and Prime Now had same day delivery of the same router for the same price (plus the optional tip). Finally got a NEW router a few hours later in a sealed box with all included accessories. It was replacing the very popular and venerable TP-LINK TL-WR841N (N300). The N300 was still working pretty well (and only paid $20 THREE years ago!) but as the number of connected devices increases and our Xbox One S usage increases as my son gets older I figured this was a good time to switch to a dual-band AC router. Also, router security is an increasing concern and my N300's last firmware upgrade was in 2015 vs 2018 for this one.I did a few measurements of signal strength and speed tests (using phone apps) before and after. The furthest room from the router, the master bedroom, showed and increase in signal strength and download speed (+10 Mbps). They were already plenty high enough but the more coverage the better and I feel a little better future proofed. I also switched the Xbox and two smart TVs closest to the router to the 5ghz channel and the connections registered as excellent vs just &#34;good&#34; or &#34;very good&#34; on the 2.4ghz (according to their internal menus).Frustratingly, my devices all still connect on the older IPV4 protocol even though my understanding is my Comcast service offers IPV6 and the router has it turned on.Honestly, at my 70Mbps ISP connection I am not testing the limits of this router by any means. But coverage has increased and I have a few new modern features that will future proof my network for years to come.
