Laptop Connected To Router But No Internet Access

Great to have this Netgear CM700 modem to access internet by plug into Laptop directly. then need a router to get WiFi working.

I needed internet access in an old building next to my house. It is too far away from my house to be supported by my wireless router. However, it does share electrical wiring with my house. Running new Cat5 cables was not a good solutions for a variety of reasons so I decided to try TP-Link's AV100 Gigabit Powerline Starter kit. The setup was very easy, basically plug and play. The price was very affordable. While not as fast as a direct connection, it still meets my needs.

If you’re like me and live off grid and cellular is your only means to access the internet this device is amazing. It works just like my old router when I lived in the city and had internet.

No cons. it works great for my cable internet and with the nighthawk router

I’ve never purchased my own router before. But I did to save money. And I think it’s the best thing I’ve done for internet. I have no issues with this one. It does what it’s supposed too. 10/10 recommend

The price of this router along with a few WiFi 7 or 6 access points cost about the same a some of the consumer 3 unit MESH units. But it is faster and has the power to add more APs including outdoor APs. I dose not stop there. You can also add high end cameras without the requirement of a subscription! Also has a number of home security devices that can be added. But if you are only looking for fast high end WiFi it is still a great deal.

I've been using TP Link for over 8 years now. Prior was using ASUS. I upgraded from Archer CX3200 to this router. This router has a single 2.4 and a single 5 ghz band, but it supports wifi6 which can output over 4200 MBS. First i connected this router to my laptop by ethernet cable. I then used my wifi on the laptop to download in sequence the TP Link firmware updates to my laptop. I then tuend off the wifi and connected by wire to the laptop. to do this easily, I assigned an IP4 address and gateway to my laptop ethernet adapter. The router by default is 192.168.0.1 The box contains the administrator username and password. I kept the router's wifi signals off. Next after logging in, I updated the firmware to the current level, assigned the fixed ip address and max addresses to the new router I was using on my old router. I set up the wifi network names and passwords, guest networks, checked the signal strengths and channels being used in my area and set my wifi to the clearest channel bands. I set up my vpn, firewalls, etc. I set my dns to my preferred public dns and I set up my DHCP server for the range I like. Then I set the router's ip address to 192.168.1.1, shut it down. disconnected my old router, shut down my cable modem, connected the new router, powered it up and then powered up my cable modem. Since my wifi network names and passwords were the same, my devices connected. Also, I enabled the UNP on this router and all of my devices with port forwarding worked well without a glitch. My phone connected at wifi6 band and downloaded at over 600 mbs 15 feet from the router. A big plus for this router is the ability to set up a VPN client and server and specify several VPN connections as well as which devices you want to always use the VPN to pass traffic. For the money, its fast and stable.

Since having our new router, our internet service has been amazing. No more lag time and interruptions. A wonderful product.

I bought this cable just to have a more stable internet connection from my main router. It work perfect. No more drop signal during zoom meetings.

I was looking for an Omada router that supported 2gb internet speeds. This product does the trick! No issues upgrading from the 605 router. Internet has been solid at 2gb.
