should I be using Tp-Link's Cloud service for remote management? worry about security....hahaha

btw is it possible to reboot router with remote management? say the router somehow not connected and i want to reboot it

thanks all

Yes, it is possible to reboot using remote management, but you need to be connected to the Internet lol, otherwise you can't do it.

Just use a throwaway email for remote management.

oh so the router itself must be connected. if hang or whatever then remote wouldnt work anyway
btw i have problems using the Tether app. It cant find my router. One time it found it then i was doing something else and now i cant get it....

what should i do? thanks in advance

one thing I dont like about the Archer C2300 - the power adapter is retarded.
The plug is upside down which takes up lots of space on my power strip extension. Even you plug it in to wall socket, the wire is at the top 😫

Yes, you are right. Try to uninstall and reinstall the app. I am using Tether and have no issues.

Design flaw lol.

1. deleted the app.
2. logon to Tp-link Cloud Service
3. C2300 showed up on the list of "My Devices"
4. try to login but failed. Didnt ask for any password. Immediately failed

must i set anything in the router itself?

Newest firmware? Did you set up TP-Link Cloud on your router? You need to set it up on the router GUI page.

yes latest firmware.
yes in the router already signed in and Binded

btw when i go into my router via web - now i got to use the cloud's service user email and password. previously just need to keep in password of the router's admin page

Yes, that is to be expected. When you bind the email address, you will have to use the email and password. It works smoothly for me no issues.

Asking, ac2300 vs ac3150 have any significant difference ?
How about coverage ? Might be connect to 5+devices and can it covered 300m2 house ?

Or waiting the ac2700 that might comeup next month ?
The price range will be around that 500-600 ?
Just want to change my tplink router that has been work around 6++yrs almost 10, and start entry level mu-mimo

AC3150 will have better coverage. Not too sure about the AC2700, as it needs to be tested and reviewed first. Suggest the AC3150 for you, or the AC2300 if you want to save some money.

i tried using an android phone. downloaded the tether app. but i cant login to my cloud service.
email and password is correct. Just says connection timed out. No other errors.

Could it be TP-LINK cloud service is down?

Where can get AC3150 official set? Quite hard to find.

Nope. It is working for me. That is weird.

TP-Link out of stock at the moment. Will restock soon. It have been very popular.

do i need to enable this Remote Management?

TM came after multiple complaints lodged, with a new wifi router replacement, Dlink DIR842. However, when i was using the 5Ghz, the wifi speed i can get when i am near the wifi router only went up to around 450Mbps. (My package is 800Mbps). My laptop gets about 65Mbps on 5Ghz with using TPLINK AC600 dongle. should i upgrade my wifi adapter to newer version of adapter? if yes, TPlink T4U or TPlink T9UH? please advice

Nope. You don’t have to and ideally not.

Click the link on my signature and read green text to see list of compatible routers plus other general info. Your router and adapter both does not support 800Mbps. You need a more pricey router as well as a pricey wireless adapter.

Anyone get VR600v VOIP working? What's the setting you used?
Provider: Maxis
Error: register fail, response code(500)
