Pros:

If you can get it to work it's OK.

Cons:

Setup is nothing like the last TP link I had. This one is a nightmare and can only be done through IE.

If you can get into the router, getting it to put out a steady signal is almost impossible.

Overall Review:

I bought this DSL router combo because I was so happy with my last TP Link from a few years ago. But no more.

The firmware is garbage and the performance a complete disappointment.

This piece of junk is sitting in my closet - where it will stay until my older Netgear completely fails.

I do not recommend the W8980.

Manufacturer Response:

Dear customer,
We're sorry the modem router couldn't give you expected performance.
The modem router can be configured in IE/Chrome/Safari/Firefox.
Maybe something special affect it. We would like to work with you to figure it out.

May I have your contact? So that we can arrange our senior engineers call you back and check the issues you encountered.

Please feel free to drop me an email.
