Control your electronics and your energy costs with this TP-Link Wi-Fi Smart plug. The energy-monitoring feature makes it easy to keep track of a device's power usage history, and the pass-through plug can be scheduled to turn devices on and off as needed. Remotely access your TP-Link Wi-Fi Smart plug using the convenient Kasa app and your smartphone, or control it with your voice using Amazon Echo or Google Home (sold separately).

I'm very pleased with the performance of this smart plug, I can just set it and forget it like my growing collection of smart plugs and bulbs. Setup and management is a breeze with the free mobile Kasa app, and I can even control it remotely from anywhere if I link it through my free TP-Link Cloud account. The schedule can easily be changed, and my family likes the ability to control it using voice commands with Amazon Alexa or Google Home. Placement of the plug within range of our wireless router has given us very reliable connections. When we chose a location too far from the main router, we were able to connect it to our TP-Link range extender for excellent results. The HS110 also includes energy monitoring. Although the size of this device requires using the top plug of a pair and you cannot put two of these plugs into the same pair, the bottom plug can still be used for another device that has a regular-size plug. I don't see that as an issue, since I don't want to group my smart plugs together. I prefer to spread them further apart across several rooms.

Great Home Security Camera, 1080p + Cloud Storage

This Kasa Cam KC120 home security camera is a welcome addition to the group of TP- Link smart home plugs and bulbs that I'm already managing with TP-Link's mobile KASA app. The setup was as quick and easy as I've come to expect from TP-Link products, and it has been working flawlessly. It has a sleek design with a magnetic stand and also comes with screws and a mounting plate, providing many placement options. The motion- and sound-triggered camera records video at 1080p and includes 1GB of free cloud storage that will cover about 2 days of encrypted video history with optional plans for more storage. When I place the camera in a corner, the 130-degree wide-angle glass lens and infrared night vision shows me a clear image of almost the entire room. In the KASA app I can remotely live-stream, save video to my phone, use the two-way audio, and set custom activity zones that I want to monitor. Another outstanding feature is the ability to integrate multiple cameras in different rooms and control them with Amazon Echo Show voice commands. This model is wired and designed only for indoor use, and I'm hoping TP-Link will eventually add an outdoor camera of this quality to their lineup. In the interim, I've successfully tested this one near a window overlooking my front walk, so I'm able to get an alert as soon as anyone approaches my door or delivers a package.

The Archer C7 covers your home with fast dual-band Wi-Fi. The 2.4GHz (450Mbps) Wi-Fi band is perfect for sending emails, browsing the web and listening to music. The 5GHz band reaches 1300Mbps so you can game and stream in HD at the same time without interruption.

I followed the Quick Installation Guide included in the box to set up this Archer C7 v4.0 AC1750 router. After I plugged it in and the LEDs confirmed connectivity, it was incredibly smooth and easy to configure using the TP-Link mobile Tether app. Then I logged into the web interface at http://192.168.0.1 to view the advanced settings. Instead of using a local account I also chose the option of binding it to my TP-Link cloud account for remote management. I found an available firmware upgrade and applied it, 1.0.3 Build 20170609 rel. 53316 (5553). This dual band router gave me a reliable signal with consistent throughput over a moderate range, making it a good product at a reasonable price that's perfect for an apartment or small home office. The features are ideal for my needs, from sharing a printer and USB file server to supporting QoS, VPN, and Parental Controls. I particularly like the ability to enable a guest network for visitors without allowing them to see each other or my own network. I can view and manage connected devices with either the app or web interface. This review was submitted as part of a free sample program.

I am completely satisfied with the performance of these little mini-plugs, I can just set them and forget them. And if I need to change the schedule, I can do that so easily. The simple setup and management with the free Kasa app makes it very popular with my family, and the mini size allows us to use two of them together in a pair of plugs without any problem. Placement of the mini plugs with relation to our wireless router has given us very reliable connections. When the distance was too far from the main router, I was able to connect them to a TP-Link range exptender with excellent results.

Boost performance of your home Wi-Fi network with help from this Archer router. Its MU-MIMO technology lets you leverage high speeds on multiple network devices that are streaming at the same time. This Archer router comes with a power supply and Ethernet cable for quick installation and an immediate upgrade to 4K gaming and movie sessions.

The Archer C2300 is the most versatile router I've ever tried, and setup is so quick and easy. I used the mobile Tether app, but the web setup option is just as simple. You can manage advanced settings on either platform. It has the usual TP-Link features - parental controls, guest network, gigabit LAN ports, and USB ports. I'm happy to see new features such as built-in antivirus protection from TrendMicro, as well as optional cloud registration for remote management and notice of firmware updates. This product can be used either as a router, or an access point to extend the wireless range of your existing network.
I'm getting a very good signal to every corner of my house and even into the patio. The dual core processor provides good speed to every device and there doesn't seem to be any impact to performance, no matter how many wireless devices we've connected at the same time.
