TP Link Archer VR600v Router Reviews:
The TP-Link Archer VR600v supports DSL with up to 100 Mbps. This means he can use almost any current DSL line. The performance of the router depends upon your line.
Power consumption of the TP-Link Archer VR600v.
As a WLAN router with an included modem, the Archer VR600v consumes slightly more energy than a simple router. In normal operation, it needs around 10.5 W with an active network connection and two WLAN clients. Under load the power consumption increases by a further 2 W. The same applies to the link of an external hard disk.
Performance of the VR600v.
Theoretically, the Archer VR600v on the 2.4 GHz band achieves a performance of up to 300 Mbps. On the 5 GHz band it even reaches up to 1300 Mbps. Nevertheless, these are theoretical values. The actual transfer rate always depends upon your client and the distance. If you only use a smartphone, probably only 433 Mbit/s are supported. Computers and large gaming notebooks, nevertheless, armed with a separate PCI-E WLAN card, can support 1300 Mbps.
WLAN of the Archer VR600v.
The three WLAN antennas can be removed. Before first use, these are screwed onto the back of the device. This results in the advantage that you can mount the desired antennas with much more power.
We have to do without multi-user MIMO radio technology with the VR600v. MU-MIMO supplies several devices simultaneously with large amounts of data. But if you don’t play games with numerous devices or watch video streams at all times, you won’t miss MU-MIMO.
The WLAN range of the TP-Link Archer VR600v is decent, but not exceptional. This is comparable to the AVM FritzBox 7580. The VR600v supports beamforming technology. This is to avoid disturbances.
If you have visitors in the house, so you can turn on a WLAN guest network both. This network has a separate name and its own password.
Final:
The TP-Link Archer VR600v supplies a decent performance for its price difference of about 125 Euro. Compared to large WLAN routers, however, there is still room for improvement. For normal Internet surfing, streaming 4K videos and Internet telephony, such as, the router could be used excellently. Only if you want to transfer a lot of data via WLAN to a local NAS or a server, you should consider switching to a larger device.
Pim –
Bought this because my old one (ASUS N66U) had locked me out of admin and the FTP had stopped working. As it’s a few years old, and we have more connected devices since we purchased it (20+ devices now), hence I chose to upgrade rather than fix.
The extra bonus with the TP-Link is we no longer need the BT Openreach box, as the DSL connection is direct into the TP-Link box. The setup was pretty easy – although I had to work out the type of DSL connection for us – which isn’t obvious. We’re in talk talk fibre – so it’s VDSL apparently. Once you have that information, the installation is pretty simple. The local IP is the same as the old box 192.168.1.* so all existing devices with dedicated IPs hooked in automatically.
