Works Great - Now

Had an immense amount of trouble setting the router up to connect with my ISP (Slingshot).
PBT and Slingshot tech support were both very helpful but neithers advice managed to get the router to connect.
They did give me a basic understanding of what the issue might have been. I ended up turning a protocol on that both PBT and Slingshot tech support had said should be turned off, this immediately got it working.
I'm no networking engineer but I do know my way around tech, this was at the extreme limits of my ability to troubleshoot. On that note, I wouldn't recommend this product unless you also have some experience with tech troub...view more

Just wanted to leave a tip on setting this up

Short version: plug into Fibre ONT, start the easy setup option, select dynamic or auto select, and then select 'Additional ISP options' and just select 'New Zealand - UFB' option. About 30 seconds to get online if you do this.

Longer version: I needed to get an apartment online quickly (it had a ONT but previous tenant had removed the router) so signed up with Slingshot, and walked in and grabbed this router from local PBTech branch to get online fast.
(Buying a router seems to work out better value than $5 a month to hire one). Expect 'fibre ready' routers to just plug in and work, but after a few attempts and reboots, I had to do som...view more

A great purchase, great price and easy to set up

Great price
Easy delivery
Once set up, which is easy I established three networks with ease, one for the Wife and I, one for the boys and, one for guests.
The boys one is timed and goes off denying the access to the internet after a certain time which stops the arguments :-)
Highly recommended

Good value for money

Bought this router to replace the aging router supplied by my ISP. I have two PCs which I connect to the LAN ports, two laptops on wifi and 7 devices also on wifi. No problem with speed. Easy to set up. If you are on fiber, just choose New Zealand fiber during set up and you are good to go.

Easy install

This was purchased as an upgrade to the “free” modem that came with out internet provider.
Installation was an easy step by step process.
We seen an Instant increase in our wifi speeds straight away. It handles running our PS4 (via cat cable) and Xbox one (via wifi) fine.
Only down side is the wifi has dropped out on the odd occasion (but much better than the other modem)
I would recommend this for anyone who wants an upgrade from the nasty free modems. I’m happy with this purchase.

A good basic Fibre-enabled Router

We purchased this router on the recommendation of the PB Tec staff. It was easy to install and simple to check the settings. We have found the home coverage superior to others we have used. Very satisfied.

Great for 2 story home

We replaced the default router in our 2 story townhouse with this. Works in every corner of the home. Have a 12 port switch attached to one LAN port for all the wired connections in the house.

The parental controls have been quite handy, though not fully extensive you can set allowable times and block wifi for devices, as well as websites. Blocked fortnite at the router for some devices quite easily for example. Note the LAN ports are also controllable, but if you have a switch connected to LAN like us, the controls are all or nothing for the whole switch (of course).

Easy to set up as an Access Point

Using this as an Access Point with other TP-Link hardware (a router and power line adaptors).
Set-up was very quick easy and allowed me to have one SSID and password throughout the house with devices 'roaming' and attaching to the router with the best signal strength.
