## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can i use this as an additional router as well as main virgin one. So both my virgin router is giving out wifi and this router aswell?**
A: I work with TP Link Routers a lot in the IT industry, so there are two ways to do this, the hard way, more complex but does have its benefits, and the easy way, which too has one main benefit; simplicity.

The easy way has been covered here, either connect the TPLink via an ethernet cable ( honestly, Cat5, 5e, 6 matter little in a domestic application) from its blue port back to any one of the LAN ports of the virgin media router.   When the TP Link is connected, it will sort itself out and automatically decide how to configure both networks.    

Alternatively, jump into the TPLink settings and change from router mode to wireless access point mode, and the TPLink will then act as a Wifi extender.

The complex way does involve changing a lot of settings, but has the advantage that your internal network will be one, and technically not two.   Having it as one, means that sharing devices like printers, media centres, disk drives will be possible.   Having two networks, unless you want to get a little complex means this sharing is not likely to happen.

Hope this helps

**Q: How long is the power lead?**
A: About 1 Mtr

**Q: No modem - buy one or buy a new router/modem?**
A: Hi it’s just a router no adsl modem  build in 
Ok it you want to extend your current internet run a Lan cable from your current modem to the internet port on this device blue Port 
I’ve  several used on sky/ talktalk  systems as some of their modems only have 2 ports on the modem 
If you need a modem then look at ac1900 vsl  adsl router 
Steve

**Q: Can the wifi ssid be hidden?**
A: Yes, on set up, chapter 5 page 22 of manual, there is a check box alongside the SSID, it just needs a tick to hide the SSID .

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Upgrade from your crappy Virgin Superhubs to one of these - you won't regret it!
*by C***N on 26 July 2023*

If you, like me, are a Virgin Media customer who has been gnashing their teeth in frustration at their absolutely rubbish so-called 'Superhub 3.0', then prick up your ears (and/or eyes) and read on. I've had my Superhub for about five years now and it was ok at first and its coverage used to reach the very rear of my long, narrow house, but over the past few months its WiFi has been randomly dropping until earlier this week when I received a message from Virgin Media saying 'Your account has been upgraded - reboot your kit', so I duly rebooted the Superhub only to find that the WiFi from it had completely stopped working. My partner and I both work from home, so this wasn't the best, but after some hair-pulling moments of panic I discovered that the ethernet ports on the back of the superhub still worked, so I was able to get some semblance of connectivity restored (the WiFi hotspot feature in Windows 11, indicentally, is absolutely superb) and decided that it was time to switch the superhub to modem only mode and purchase a WiFi router.After a little bit of hunting and research, I whittled my selection down to a few routers. The TP-Link Archer C64 obviously won the battle due to its bargain basement price and richness of features, so I snapped one up and it landed into my grubby little paws a few hours later, and I was quickly tearing through its cellophene wrapping to get a gawp at it.>>> WHAT'S IN THE BOX?In the box, you'll get the router itself, a short ethernet cable, the power adapter and a couple of quick-start instruction books. Bonus green points to TP-Link for making the packaging purely out of cardboard and better for the planet.>>> FIRST IMPRESSIONS?The first thing that struck me about this router is just how small and light it is - it's really tiny and weighs next to nothing. It's also square, which is a radical departure from the routers I've bought in the past which resembled artfully modelled matchboxes, and is very minimalist in its design. At each corner are its massive antennas which make it look like some sort of dead robot/crab creature.There are a row of LEDS on the front of it and, around its back, there are four ethernet ports (with a dedicated one for plugging into your hub) and a WPS/Reset button and the input for the power adapter.>>> IS IT EASY TO SET UP?Well, I work in IT and have set up a few routers in my time so I've got a fair bit of experience in such things. Saying that, I did find this router particularly simple to set up, mainly thanks to the TP-Link app which guides you through the setup process. From plugging it in, setting the Virgin Superhub to modem-only mode and getting the Archer C64 router up and running and pumping out its WiFi connection, it took less than 15 minutes, I reckon.Less IT savvy folks might find it a little more difficult (the app isn't great at explaining what you need to do next) so you might want to grab an IT-savvy pal to help you if you're not too sure what to do.>>>WHAT FEATURES DOES IT HAVE?Despite the relatively cheap price of the Archer C64, I think it's pretty fully featured. It's got all of the bells and whistles such as a built-in Firewall, Dual SSIDs, DMZ, port forwarding and all sorts of things.>>>HOW DOES IT PERFORM?Well, coming from a Virgin Superhub 3 - a hub that's not exactly well regarded - this thing is lightning fast and has an impressive range. The superhub failed to reach the bathroom at the very rear of my old, long, narrow house (with thick walls), but with the Archer C64 I'm getting a fantastic signal and good speeds. Running a speed test sees this router hitting and sustaining the maximum speed my contract is capable of. You can't ask for more than that!>>>SUMMING UPThis is an absolutely cracking router for the price and, if you're sick of the hub that came with your broadband package you should definitely consider getting one of these!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great router for the price
*by K***R on 4 July 2025*

Replaced our old router with this and we noticed a difference in connectivity and speed pretty instantly. Coverage is good, though we do have a couple of range extenders also from Tapo. So far dropout rate has been minimal and I think this has been more a problem with the Internet provider than the router. Easy to set up, just follow the instructions and you'll be fine, but lots of help on the Internet if not. Works really well and really happy with it, but more importantly the kids are happy!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cutting corners on the small things
*by M***L on 7 July 2024*

Update: July 2024 firmware update bricked my router! Returned to Amazon for a refund. Great router when used with the excellent TP-Link Tether app. Annoyingly the package is supplied with a 0.5 metre Cat 5e cable instead of 6e. Old tech cable and cable too short. Also, really annoying is that the power adapter also has a really short lead. Hopeless if you want to place high up and slightly away from a power point. Little things like that let it down. Router however is nicely designed and highly spec'ed for the value for money price. Didn't find it made much of a speed improvement over the supplied WiFi 6 router from EE, but software is infinitely better and full control over the device. Recent price drop makes this WiFi 6e router close to the price of it's WiFi 6 sibling. Worth the extra £30 for future proofing. Overall happy, but will need to purchase a new adapter and Cat 6e longer network cable.
