    I think I’ll shop around some more first. I was pretty disappointed with the performance of the Toronto router and it did a pretty good job of fouling up my IP Telephony, Streaming video, Sonos sound system, Home security system, Wi-Fi thermostat, and my wi-fi extender setup.

    Burned many days trying to integrate your product as part of my home network but it has a nasty habit of taking over all the DHCP rather than just that of people connected to that network. Also not a very detailed user manual.

    Saw your ad for a better router which I thought might have the intestinal fortitude to be at the core of my home setup instead of just for the kids and saw this IPC listing for $140 so thought that would be a reasonable price. My hackles went up when what arrived was a vanilla router with no literature inside the shipping container.

    As you can see, at the time I bought it, the description was solid PARENTAL CONTROL router.

    When I go to the listing for my received order in Amazon now however, and click on the description, it shows me your $199 router, not the $138 one I ordered. What kind of switcheroo has happened here?

    These guys flimflammed me and damaged your reputation in the process.

    I have taken action with Amazon to get what I paid for at the price I paid. These guys who posted the deceptive description in Amazon need to pay. Return shipping, refund my money, and make it right. $200 is a lot of money for a router that sells amazon prime for $95 right now. The $45 I was willing to pay for your added work and integration effort, but this whole process has left me feeling abused.

    Your thoughts? (May go private to my personal e-mail address.)

    If I keep this router can I burn your firmware into it?

    Hi, I bought the router in this post ($138) and what arrived is what looks like a factory TP-Link Archer C7 router. No packing slip in the box, router still in the shrink wrap and no indication anywhere that it has special PCWrt firmware built in.

    How do I now that I received what you have posted about here?

    I tried inquiring of the seller in Amazon IPC-Store but the answer I received only describes the factory box contents. Nothing about abt parental control value add.
