Review: I used dd-wrt for about 10 years on Cisco E1200 WiFi router with Comcast Internet. This combo had been extremely stable till Comcast forced me to upgrade to 30Mb plan. Computer which are 30 feet away from E1200 drop bandwidth to only 13Mb. I paid for 30 and I wanted 30 so I started doing research. Archer A5v5 can handle more than 10 times my bandwidth, tested to be stable according to review and costs only $29. I always buy two when buying network devices. Use one as a cold backup because I have three telework IT person in the house. Can't do without Internet connection for more than few hours. All looked good yet I truly desire to run dd-wrt on the new device. Research result showed Archer A5v5 is not supported by dd-wrt. Bummer!! Further research lead me to OpenWRT. After a lot reading I found out OpenWRT firmware for Archer C50v5 works on A5v5. Followed the instruction on openwrt.org and I am now running the latest openwrt firmware on Archer A5v5 and all work well. This setting with one WiFi router enabled all my WiFi devices in this 3000SF house to have 30Mb Internet connection. Here is how to get openwrt. Hope this can help people like me. Go to OpenWRT.org, "Table of Hardware" page. 1462 TP-Link Archer C50 v5 19.07.7 Yes, this is the right Openwrt version for Archer A5v5. A5v5 has the exact harware ask C50v5. Click on the "Device Page" column link archer-c50. This page gives you all the information about download and flash firmware. Make sure you follow the V5 parts because this page contains info for all versions. Some Linux experience will help because you need to build the bin file by merging two binary files using Linux dd command. Of course a Linux VM or computer is necessary. Theoretically, MAC should work too since MAC is a flavor of UNIX. However I have never tried.

Review: This is the second Archer A5 we bought. The first one - no problems (it is now a couple of years old & working very nicely as a range extender). This one, will start with the positive: - power plug has nice form factor (same as previous version) - overall form factor is slim; same as previous version with understandable lights/indicators - has mounting holes in the back if you want to put it on a wall or something else vertical (back of desk, cubicle wall, etc.) - configuration utility is good & does not require you to be connected to the internet; understandable indexed menus with the option of using the set-up wizard if you want (did not use the wizard so no comments (good or bad) from me on this review) - signal strength is as good as the previous version (TP Link has really good hardware that puts out some power but this alone is not enough to rank five stars) Now for the other stuff: - RJ-45 ports are not quite to spec; I tried three different off-the-shelf Cat5 cables & only one 'clicked' when nested into any of the ports (multiple tries on each port with either end of the Cat5 cables - that's right, only one nested in & clicked & even then on only one or two of the ports) - configuration; had problems getting the router to actually save new SSID names & passwords (again, multiple tries & even reset the router twice - repeatedly saving the same info more than once got the SSIDs updated with new passwords & still not sure what I did differently to make it work) - documentation; okay, probably should have looked online but the fold-up sheet in the box is a quick set up instruction with few graphics (this is okay if you have experience with routers but next to useless if you want or need detailed help) - no connectivity lights next to ports to show whether or not the physical port is active/working (same as previous version(s) - kind of a pet peeve of mine but I would rather not have to open up the software configuration tool & connect to the router to see what is working when an inexpensive visual indicator will do just as well) Unless you want to spend time trying multiple times to configure a wireless router, search online for help, tips, & tricks, or have experience loading in new or custom firmware, you might want to check out a different WiFi router or possibly a much earlier version of this same model.
