I have had mine running since Tuesday and it seems OK. Bit slower sync than my TG router that it replaced (not much but it may increase).
I don't have anything on 5G yet, but 2.4G coverage is good.
Few bugbears with the menu system, no option for local dns, there is an arp->ip but it isn't tied to the dhcp so you need to set the mac address there if you want fixed ip by mac. The wifi clients have no name just mac addresses.
I have raised these with the beta f/w I am testing and hopefully something will be included in a new release. They did tell me that they are going to have a network map similar to the hh5's one.

Quote from: Hairy There will be a new firmware coming out soon for this router, with plusnet vsdl (fibre) amongst the other fixes.
It's out now, I installed the latest version from TP-Link's website yesterday and it added VDSL Plusnet amongst others to the quick setup.

Quote from: WWWombat I'll soon be trying my setup (standalone Openreach modem) with some power line adapters, so it’ll certainly be interesting to see the impact, and whether a filtered lead can help.
Some power line adapters have a pass through filtered output, see below
http://www.amazon.co.uk/TP-Link-TL-PA251KIT-Multi-Streaming-Powerline-Starter/dp/B005KTM2G6/ref=sr_1...
This is the filter i use that isolated the noise from power line adapter into amp i mentioned. Have seperate one in another room powering draytek modem/router. How good the filtering on this compared to whats included above I would be interested to know.

Got my TD-W9980 from Kikatek a few weeks ago and got one for a customer from BroadbandBuyer on Wednesday, but neither seem to have stock now. A few sellers on Amazon have them, but at higher prices.

The TP-link has a better web page, more options, but doesn't do local dns, or wan ping, so if that is important then stick with the hh5. Not much in it really and for £70 I would keep the money in my pocket.

Although the Wan Ping and Local DNS don't really have much use for me. Would you say the WiFi coverage on the TP link is better than hub 5 wireless?
NE

Definitely does WAN ping, it's under System Tools > Mange Control at the bottom.
Not sure what you mean by local DNS. It answers DNS requests and sets itself as the DNS server by default, unless you change it under Network > LAN Settings.

Local dns:
With any of the HH's or the TG's if you have a machine in the dhcp server, have given it a name, then it is pingable by that name. This doesn't happen on the TPlink router. You can't give names to the addresses, you can create reservations but not name then.
OK you can do this by hosts files but then you need to keep them up to date and synchronised between clients. Since I like to map shares by name rather than ip address this can be a pita. At the moment I am running dnsmasq on my "server" to provide this functionality. I have the dhcp use this as a dns server then the Google dns server as the 2nd.
