Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I really like TP-Link products for their stability and dependability. I've been slowly changing my entire home network which consists of a 24 port switch, 3 wifi routers and 1 outdoor AP over from Asus to TP-Link. Everything was working great until I lost my internet connection to my main router which is the AC5400. The software demands you setup an account with TP-Link for cloud control of the router. That's all fine and dandy as long as the router is connected to the net. The second the net goes down the router demands you log in, to see you can't log in because there's ...surprise surprise, no internet! Stupid. So then if you are using your cell phone, disconnected from the wifi in order to log in, to be told by the tether app that you aren't connected to router. No kidding. So instead of hosting the log in on the router they force you to log in through the cloud. There may be a way around this but that's just wrong especially if I want a simple to troubleshoot system. They can fix this with a firmware update if they choose to. Overall when it has connection to the net it's been a damn solid router that is very impressive on gigabit speeds.
