Finally, proper Internet! How is it possible for Forthnet to sabotage the fast internet it provides with these rotten routers.
Continuous disconnections on WIFI as well as selective browsing were finally solved with the TPLink Router.

The 5G is indeed very weak after 1 wall or 5-8 meters of open space. I believe it would need 3 more antennas for reinforcement.
At 5 meters, it connected with 850mbps with the S10+!!!

The interface is very simple and user-friendly. I connected VDSL2 with a 50 Mbps line through the "other" profile by simply enabling VLAN and setting VLAN ID to 835.
Overall, apart from the WIFI issues I had, I also noticed faster response in all browsing as well as on the smart TVs I have connected.
Very satisfied.

Well, to cut it short, just don't spend your money on this.

ALSO, if you have OTE as your provider, you should know that the router does not support VOIP, meaning you can't directly connect your phone to the router. So be careful not to fall for it!

I'll start by saying that the reason I bought this MODEM was mainly because of the instability, frequent disconnections, and low range of the rotten MODEM from forthnet (technicolor). At first, I was thinking of getting a ROUTER since I needed the distance-range factor, but due to the frequent disconnection issue, I chose to go for a MODEM. When I first got it and connected it, the speed was the same as the previous modem, but the range was much larger to the point that when the technicolor could barely catch 1 line, the tp-link could catch up to 3. Also, the disconnections started to decrease, so I thought everything was fine. But what happened next?

I noticed high ping, some pages took a long time to load, some files and torrents had very low speed, etc. I started testing various things and noticed that depending on the number of people on the line, even if they weren't using up the bandwidth, my modem would lower the speed, resulting in increased ping and decreased speed. However, certain applications like Steam, LoL, etc. didn't have this "limiter". I noticed that each device had similar speeds, and the more devices connected, the more the speed dropped on the speedtest. No matter how I operated it, either as a MODEM or as a ROUTER, this "limiter" wouldn't change. And when I say limiter, I mean that with just one person connected, it would reach 10-11 mbps, which is the same as before the change. But when 4-5 people connected, the speed (via speedtest) would lock at 2-3, at most 5 mbps. No matter what firmware I tried or even the upgrade I did from the tp-link website, I constantly had an invisible limiter corresponding to the devices connected at any given moment. I tried to see if there was any option through the IP (192.168.1.1), where there is indeed an option called QoS, but it seemed to be virtual. Bottom line, the MODEM was left aside, and I went back to the rotten technicolor. And just to preempt you, no, it wasn't a temperature issue; it had the same problem even in cold weather.

However, I don't see anyone talking about this, even though I asked other people who had tp-link and they told me the exact same thing, that they couldn't do anything to change it. In other words, 60€ wasted. If someone indeed has the same issue or has already solved it, please write it in the comments.

UPDATE 10/6/2020:
I also noticed that the Modem starts acting up after a few days, possibly due to temperature, and it needs a reset every other day or so. Overall, poor network management for such an expensive Modem. I would recommend the cheaper models from the company or better yet, a 20-30€ ROUTER for better range.

  • Very bad wifi. Constant disconnections and very high latency which appeared suddenly and I had to restart it. I should have realized we were talking about a bad device since the first one I got was defective. It was replaced with a Cudy and it's like night and day.

    It burned out in the first hour of operation on the rac server just to act as a bridge to the main router, even though it was connected to an APC UPS worth 300 euros and to a power strip with an APC voltage stabilizer worth 60 euros, purchased two months ago.

    I had the V2. I replaced it with the V3.
    On a 100 Mbps VDSL line with Nova (formerly Forthnet), it flies.
    It locks in a little above the nominal speed of the line and generally delivers the full speed.
    Unlike others, I did not notice any overheating.
    Overall, I am completely satisfied.

    At first, my experience with Nova (provider) was fine, but unfortunately it would overheat and I had to restart it otherwise it wouldn't have internet. It should be functioning 24/7 and not shutting down to avoid overheating issues. Stay away

    3 stars for version 2 as the lan ports are 3 10/100 and the lan/wan is 10/100/1000. In version 3, there are also 4 gigabit ethernet ports. Otherwise, it is a simple home router/modem better than the providers' potatoes.

    Also negative that it overheats excessively and disconnects once a day. Otherwise, it synchronizes the wifi perfectly (5 devices).

    If someone wants something else, I would recommend unify or a fritz.

    A good simple router for VDSL. Many functions and capabilities in the menu but too many problems with the WIFI. The only thing that works consistently is the mesh repeaters. Whatever device connects to the router (all devices work fine with the repeaters) has constant disconnections. To the point where I wanted to throw it away. Which I did after 6 months.
    In summary, a good router with many problems in the Wi-Fi connection

    I use it on Vodafone VDSL 30Mbps, I had constant disconnections with the Vodafone H300s modem, as soon as I installed the VR400 I never had a disconnection again. The only issue with the VR400 is that it requires proper settings, if you are a gamer you may experience ping spikes if you don't configure it correctly. I gained an extra 2mbps and the ping decreased significantly with the VR400, it's a very good modem.

    The router was having trouble syncing with Nova. OK, we managed to do that. The main problem that made me throw it away is that the LAN ports "disappear" after a while. It's like the wired network doesn't exist, nothing pings. So, it's useless. The tp-link support couldn't do anything.

    Knowing the company, I bought the modem/router. In Vodafone 100 (ethernet), it syncs slightly higher than the company's (ZTE). It gives me double the ping compared to the provider, while the speed fluctuates in WiFi, both in 2.4 and 5 GHz. The provider has 25 Mbps, while this one has 3.5 Mbps. It overheats, so it may disconnect. On the positive side, as an ethernet connection, it is stable with minimal errors compared to the provider

    Very good so far. Speed slightly higher than the provider's. On a 24-line it reaches 14.5. I am waiting for an upgrade to a 30-line Vodafone. I don't know if I can keep it or switch to the provider because the landline won't work otherwise. Unless I try it and see. Definitely a fair offer.

    I bought it in winter and when summer came, I was crying over my money. It overheats, causing it to freeze and make regular disconnections. As a result, I returned it within warranty and they gave me a new one, which also overheats. In the end, I put a laptop cooling pad! Other than that, it's great, easy menu, easy and understandable settings.

    As a previous buyer has commented, it is the best value for money for upgrading the provider's entry modem and easily meets the needs of a household with multiple devices simultaneously, without compromising performance! Additionally, the easy set up and user-friendly menu are positive aspects. Attention! Not suitable for smart homes.

    This review is about the network version: v3

    I changed my provider's ZTE and overall I am satisfied.
    Initially, there is a significant difference in signal. Now, I have 45-49Mbps in all areas of my house and less than 10 Ping. With the ZTE, I had 10-15Mbps in remote areas. This alone makes a big difference. The connection remains stable without fluctuations.
    Easy installation (although you need to know a couple of things), it has enough settings for QoS that make it even more efficient. I have a TV, 3 mobile phones, a computer, a TV box, and 4 other household devices (switches and sockets). I haven't experienced any lag even with 4k content and simultaneous downloading of large files from mobile devices (proper bandwidth management).
    It's worth the money and improves the areas where providers' routers struggle. Don't expect a drastic difference in maximum speed; personally, I had 48-49Mbps (next to the router), which didn't change.
    P.S. The 5GHz makes a difference.
    P.P.S. It has mesh technology, making it futureproof

    No relation to what the provider gives you, Stabilize my line and increase my speed, as much as possible with the line I have. It has several options in its menu, such as stabilizing the line by reducing the speed a bit, giving priority options for connected devices, and various others. My line is a problematic Vodafone 24 and it is currently working fine without disconnections. I am waiting for the upgrade to VDSL 50 that I have requested to test it there.

    This review is about the network version: v3

    I have had it in my possession for a month and I can say that it is worth the 60 euros I paid.
    It had many settings and understandable, it is far better than the provider in signal coverage and line stability without errors (even zero).
    In general, it handles correctly many wireless devices in my case about 10 and 3 with a cable.
    My line is NOVA 50 and it synchronizes 50 down.
    (Bit Swap and SRA) I turned them off because it synchronized 30 instead of 50, I don't know why I didn't do more tests.

    In general, I have a fan underneath to cool it (it's my own complex, I don't think it's necessary)

    (Negatives)
    It takes a long time to synchronize the line in case I restart it (it can take up to 10 minutes)
    The provider's took 5.
    And put a Greek one inside, it's not difficult guys.

    Good overall. However, it is not good at all that it is advertised as having gigabit ethernet ports, but this only applies to one (WAN). The rest are 10/100.

    Update: It has many disconnections on WiFi. Maybe it's because of the many devices on the same network. I have about 25 wireless and 3-4 wired devices.

    I replaced the piece of junk Technicolor TG788vn v2 with a Forthnet 100Mbps VDSL connection. My measurements on Ookla went from 92 download to 100, and from 8 upload to 10. However, what I noticed was that the ping went from 12 to 10. This means that in Warzone, my latency dropped from 10-15ms and now I'm consistently at 66-74ms instead of 80-90ms. With a fiber connection, it will definitely go even lower. It's a joy on WiFi. All of this without any settings, just with the NAT boost.

    I did not expect this from TP-LINK. It is supposed to have a good reputation in this field, but I have been disappointed both by the VR400 and the 3 RE 200 that I had at different times. Everything was going great for the first 8 months, but after a firmware update, its performance simply dropped. The 5G connection was not stable and constantly lost synchronization. In the 2.4 GHz band, the connection would occasionally drop as well. The worst part is that it never received another update and remained in this state. It's a shame, I will never choose TP-Link again for anything. I switched to another router from a different company a month ago and I am glad I did.

Finally, proper Internet! How is it possible for Forthnet to sabotage the fast internet it provides with these rotten routers.
Continuous disconnections on WIFI as well as selective browsing were finally solved with the TPLink Router.

The 5G is indeed very weak after 1 wall or 5-8 meters of open space. I believe it would need 3 more antennas for reinforcement.
At 5 meters, it connected with 850mbps with the S10+!!!

The interface is very simple and user-friendly. I connected VDSL2 with a 50 Mbps line through the "other" profile by simply enabling VLAN and setting VLAN ID to 835.
Overall, apart from the WIFI issues I had, I also noticed faster response in all browsing as well as on the smart TVs I have connected.
Very satisfied.

Well, to cut it short, just don't spend your money on this.

ALSO, if you have OTE as your provider, you should know that the router does not support VOIP, meaning you can't directly connect your phone to the router. So be careful not to fall for it!

I'll start by saying that the reason I bought this MODEM was mainly because of the instability, frequent disconnections, and low range of the rotten MODEM from forthnet (technicolor). At first, I was thinking of getting a ROUTER since I needed the distance-range factor, but due to the frequent disconnection issue, I chose to go for a MODEM. When I first got it and connected it, the speed was the same as the previous modem, but the range was much larger to the point that when the technicolor could barely catch 1 line, the tp-link could catch up to 3. Also, the disconnections started to decrease, so I thought everything was fine. But what happened next?

I noticed high ping, some pages took a long time to load, some files and torrents had very low speed, etc. I started testing various things and noticed that depending on the number of people on the line, even if they weren't using up the bandwidth, my modem would lower the speed, resulting in increased ping and decreased speed. However, certain applications like Steam, LoL, etc. didn't have this "limiter". I noticed that each device had similar speeds, and the more devices connected, the more the speed dropped on the speedtest. No matter how I operated it, either as a MODEM or as a ROUTER, this "limiter" wouldn't change. And when I say limiter, I mean that with just one person connected, it would reach 10-11 mbps, which is the same as before the change. But when 4-5 people connected, the speed (via speedtest) would lock at 2-3, at most 5 mbps. No matter what firmware I tried or even the upgrade I did from the tp-link website, I constantly had an invisible limiter corresponding to the devices connected at any given moment. I tried to see if there was any option through the IP (192.168.1.1), where there is indeed an option called QoS, but it seemed to be virtual. Bottom line, the MODEM was left aside, and I went back to the rotten technicolor. And just to preempt you, no, it wasn't a temperature issue; it had the same problem even in cold weather.

However, I don't see anyone talking about this, even though I asked other people who had tp-link and they told me the exact same thing, that they couldn't do anything to change it. In other words, 60€ wasted. If someone indeed has the same issue or has already solved it, please write it in the comments.

UPDATE 10/6/2020:
I also noticed that the Modem starts acting up after a few days, possibly due to temperature, and it needs a reset every other day or so. Overall, poor network management for such an expensive Modem. I would recommend the cheaper models from the company or better yet, a 20-30€ ROUTER for better range.

  • Very bad wifi. Constant disconnections and very high latency which appeared suddenly and I had to restart it. I should have realized we were talking about a bad device since the first one I got was defective. It was replaced with a Cudy and it's like night and day.

    It burned out in the first hour of operation on the rac server just to act as a bridge to the main router, even though it was connected to an APC UPS worth 300 euros and to a power strip with an APC voltage stabilizer worth 60 euros, purchased two months ago.

    I had the V2. I replaced it with the V3.
    On a 100 Mbps VDSL line with Nova (formerly Forthnet), it flies.
    It locks in a little above the nominal speed of the line and generally delivers the full speed.
    Unlike others, I did not notice any overheating.
    Overall, I am completely satisfied.

    At first, my experience with Nova (provider) was fine, but unfortunately it would overheat and I had to restart it otherwise it wouldn't have internet. It should be functioning 24/7 and not shutting down to avoid overheating issues. Stay away

    3 stars for version 2 as the lan ports are 3 10/100 and the lan/wan is 10/100/1000. In version 3, there are also 4 gigabit ethernet ports. Otherwise, it is a simple home router/modem better than the providers' potatoes.

    Also negative that it overheats excessively and disconnects once a day. Otherwise, it synchronizes the wifi perfectly (5 devices).

    If someone wants something else, I would recommend unify or a fritz.

    A good simple router for VDSL. Many functions and capabilities in the menu but too many problems with the WIFI. The only thing that works consistently is the mesh repeaters. Whatever device connects to the router (all devices work fine with the repeaters) has constant disconnections. To the point where I wanted to throw it away. Which I did after 6 months.
    In summary, a good router with many problems in the Wi-Fi connection

    I use it on Vodafone VDSL 30Mbps, I had constant disconnections with the Vodafone H300s modem, as soon as I installed the VR400 I never had a disconnection again. The only issue with the VR400 is that it requires proper settings, if you are a gamer you may experience ping spikes if you don't configure it correctly. I gained an extra 2mbps and the ping decreased significantly with the VR400, it's a very good modem.

    The router was having trouble syncing with Nova. OK, we managed to do that. The main problem that made me throw it away is that the LAN ports "disappear" after a while. It's like the wired network doesn't exist, nothing pings. So, it's useless. The tp-link support couldn't do anything.

    Knowing the company, I bought the modem/router. In Vodafone 100 (ethernet), it syncs slightly higher than the company's (ZTE). It gives me double the ping compared to the provider, while the speed fluctuates in WiFi, both in 2.4 and 5 GHz. The provider has 25 Mbps, while this one has 3.5 Mbps. It overheats, so it may disconnect. On the positive side, as an ethernet connection, it is stable with minimal errors compared to the provider

    Very good so far. Speed slightly higher than the provider's. On a 24-line it reaches 14.5. I am waiting for an upgrade to a 30-line Vodafone. I don't know if I can keep it or switch to the provider because the landline won't work otherwise. Unless I try it and see. Definitely a fair offer.

    I bought it in winter and when summer came, I was crying over my money. It overheats, causing it to freeze and make regular disconnections. As a result, I returned it within warranty and they gave me a new one, which also overheats. In the end, I put a laptop cooling pad! Other than that, it's great, easy menu, easy and understandable settings.

    In cosmote vdsl 100 it synchronizes at 80mbps while the speedport at 95. It was returned to its box and took up space in the warehouse. I have grandstream for the landline, asus for the router, and I only wanted it for modem in bridge mode.

    As a previous buyer has commented, it is the best value for money for upgrading the provider's entry modem and easily meets the needs of a household with multiple devices simultaneously, without compromising performance! Additionally, the easy set up and user-friendly menu are positive aspects. Attention! Not suitable for smart homes.

    A decent router, at least for something better than the useless ones provided by ISPs! Don't bother with gaming because it's not stable at all, bad QoS, bufferbloat, etc. Otherwise, as I said, just a simple router for basic home use!

    This review is about the network version: v3

    I changed my provider's ZTE and overall I am satisfied.
    Initially, there is a significant difference in signal. Now, I have 45-49Mbps in all areas of my house and less than 10 Ping. With the ZTE, I had 10-15Mbps in remote areas. This alone makes a big difference. The connection remains stable without fluctuations.
    Easy installation (although you need to know a couple of things), it has enough settings for QoS that make it even more efficient. I have a TV, 3 mobile phones, a computer, a TV box, and 4 other household devices (switches and sockets). I haven't experienced any lag even with 4k content and simultaneous downloading of large files from mobile devices (proper bandwidth management).
    It's worth the money and improves the areas where providers' routers struggle. Don't expect a drastic difference in maximum speed; personally, I had 48-49Mbps (next to the router), which didn't change.
    P.S. The 5GHz makes a difference.
    P.P.S. It has mesh technology, making it futureproof

    No relation to what the provider gives you, Stabilize my line and increase my speed, as much as possible with the line I have. It has several options in its menu, such as stabilizing the line by reducing the speed a bit, giving priority options for connected devices, and various others. My line is a problematic Vodafone 24 and it is currently working fine without disconnections. I am waiting for the upgrade to VDSL 50 that I have requested to test it there.

    This review is about the network version: v3

    I have had it in my possession for a month and I can say that it is worth the 60 euros I paid.
    It had many settings and understandable, it is far better than the provider in signal coverage and line stability without errors (even zero).
    In general, it handles correctly many wireless devices in my case about 10 and 3 with a cable.
    My line is NOVA 50 and it synchronizes 50 down.
    (Bit Swap and SRA) I turned them off because it synchronized 30 instead of 50, I don't know why I didn't do more tests.

    In general, I have a fan underneath to cool it (it's my own complex, I don't think it's necessary)

    (Negatives)
    It takes a long time to synchronize the line in case I restart it (it can take up to 10 minutes)
    The provider's took 5.
    And put a Greek one inside, it's not difficult guys.

    Good overall. However, it is not good at all that it is advertised as having gigabit ethernet ports, but this only applies to one (WAN). The rest are 10/100.

    Update: It has many disconnections on WiFi. Maybe it's because of the many devices on the same network. I have about 25 wireless and 3-4 wired devices.

    I replaced the piece of junk Technicolor TG788vn v2 with a Forthnet 100Mbps VDSL connection. My measurements on Ookla went from 92 download to 100, and from 8 upload to 10. However, what I noticed was that the ping went from 12 to 10. This means that in Warzone, my latency dropped from 10-15ms and now I'm consistently at 66-74ms instead of 80-90ms. With a fiber connection, it will definitely go even lower. It's a joy on WiFi. All of this without any settings, just with the NAT boost.

    I did not expect this from TP-LINK. It is supposed to have a good reputation in this field, but I have been disappointed both by the VR400 and the 3 RE 200 that I had at different times. Everything was going great for the first 8 months, but after a firmware update, its performance simply dropped. The 5G connection was not stable and constantly lost synchronization. In the 2.4 GHz band, the connection would occasionally drop as well. The worst part is that it never received another update and remained in this state. It's a shame, I will never choose TP-Link again for anything. I switched to another router from a different company a month ago and I am glad I did.
