On the other hand, a number of features I would expect on a £130 router are locked behind a paywall, which granted are more 'power user' than for most people, but I would still expect them to just be a feature not something artificially blocked for everyone. For instance, want to see the most visited sites on your network? You can... If you pay for HomeShield Pro which is £5.99 a month or £53.99 a year. Simple DDOS protection? Part of HomeShield Pro. Want to see how much data a specific device has sent or received? Nope. Can't see that at all! (from what I can see!). Honestly, the only real gain you get from HomeShield Pro is viewing the top 5 visited sites per profile, which is usually just tracking cookie URLs, and instead of just setting bedtimes, you can set time limits and a hard 'off time' (which just looks like a bedtime?!) to profiles. I can't see TP-Link making much money on this! And you 100% don't need it for a secure and performant network!
Another bugbear is you get a LOT more settings and control via the app on your phone or tablet than you do by going to the router via your browser. Almost all of the above I mentioned can only be set in the app, not via the web portal. Via the web portal you can only really change your wifi password, see live traffic data (as in, see what the current up and down speed is of a device) or do a firmware upgrade. But if you want to do a WPS connection, set bedtimes, rename or blacklist a device on the network... You need the app. And both the router and the app need a TP-Link account to work, you can't just plug and play without it.
I must stress, for 90% of people who want a solid replacement for their broadband providers standard ASDL router, this is a phenomenal buy. It's the little bits, mostly around the seemingly surplus HomeShield Pro and the lack of a proper admin panel for a desktop user, that make me not give it 5*'s.
Hasty Amazon search for a VDSL modem and this was the cheapest with next day Prime delivery.
My new provider gave me all the necessary log in credentials and this was up and running in less than 10 minutes.
Wi-Fi speed check from my mobile phone showed about 24mbs when my contract is for superfast so 67mbs-ish. This may be the line bedding in rather than the router. Streamed a couple of All4 programmes without issue.
A decent app TPLink Tether is available should you need or want it and it shows which devices are connected both via ethernet and wirelessly.
Box is flimsy but when do you really ever use or touch it but marked as 4 stars as a result.
Saved the day and does what it's meant to but only 2.4Hz frequency available - no big deal to be fair.
You cannot, for example, have the router in 'router' mode, connected to your DSL, and also turn off the internal DHCP server; a fairly normal requirement for anything even slightly beyond "plug'n'play" operation, and something that virtually all other home routers permit. To add to this, the internal DHCP server is not fully featured enough to compensate, and in spite or repeated requests on TP-Link's messages boards they seemingly refuse to consider this feature request.
Virtually all configuration is done via mobile app, hardly any functionality at all is exposed by the normal web interface supplied with home routers. This offers some features (you can set 'managers' for your network) but also requires that you create and use a TP-Link cloud login to be able to perform even simple administrative tasks.
All in all, I'm left wondering exactly who this product is aimed at. It could have been so much more, but appears to consist of a power-user hardware feature set paired with dumbed-down software.
However the dsl model built into the x20dsl is poor.
My nearly 10 year old vr900 managed far better sync speeds than this new x20dsl.
The net result was losing early 10Mbs which isn't a small amount. I ended up having to use my old modem router with the WiFi turned off as the modem router and the x20s as a WiFi mesh.
So if you have a separate modem them this is fine but if you intend to use the modem in the x20dsl don't bother.
Oh I tried to get support from tplink and I have to admit I knew more than the tech support about the problem. They just wanted me to mess about with WiFi settings not understanding the problem was with the integrated DSL modem in the x20dsl.
