    Take a look at the reviews and base your purchase decision off that. If you buy it and it doesn't fit your expectations, return it.

    I have TP-Link equipment here at work. We test lots of products. Their wireless bridges work fine.
    The thing i was looking for was this;
    "Class-leading 680Mbps DOCSIS 3.0 cable download speeds, 16x faster than DOCSIS 2.0"
    So you have plenty of bandwidth, I say get it.
    I use a dual band Netgear with Comcast internet no problems. And I have 3 phones 4 pcs and a tablet connected. The pcs run 24/7 and I stream HD movies off my firestick. Same download speeds as you.
     
    Worst case is it does not work properly and you can exchange it. I hope this helps.

    You won't know this until you set it up - too many variables. There is some software firmware that is free and allows you to increase the power output of your router called DD-WRT. But I think you are looking at a modem/ router combination so I am not sure if it will work with the TP-Link you have linked.

    Well I have a separate router and modem and I have the triple play - but since I do not use their equipment I get no phone service. This unit may provide voice.
    Otherwise the specs look good - It is a dual band modem/router so that is good since the single most used frequency in the US is 2.4 gig - You can run equipment on 5.8 and steer clear of most of your neighbors. Other than that and the bandwidth TPLink has worked well for me here at work. I run a DVR for security out of my house and port forwarding is required and very easy to set up on the Netgear. The TPlink gui is pretty easy to navigate if you need to access the settings.
    I have surveillance cameras I like to access remotely so I have to port forward the IP address of the DVR. Not much else to tell you other than the price is right for the combination modem/router.

    It was mentioned by another poster - check out the reviews.
