Does anybody have any experience with TP-Link routers? I see the
C50 and C64 are not badly priced and I really want to improve the

using the Talktalk Sagemcom super-router and speed on a speed test
is pretty dire.
I don't have any recent experience, But I did have a TP-Link router
some years ago. I wasn't overly impressed with it and ended up
getting a Netgear Nighthawk, which was a vast improvement. I still
get updates for it from time to time.
I also think I might improve my wifi dongle and considering an
Atheros Ar-9271.
Interestingly, my WiFi dongle is made by TP-Link and seems to work
fine. However, I only really use it very occasionally, such as when
the Ethernet link failed the other day.
I did use a TP-Link range extender, but it kept dropping connections,
so I now have a Netgear one that works well. But when I was a
University lecturer Netgear gave me a bunch of kit, and they were a
beast to set up. (20 years ago now, mind]

My experience with TP-Link routers is that they very rarely receive any
software updates, so I can't recommend them in the name of security.
