Like most of the entries, the touch-screen that Touch P5 features is not a marketing gimmick but a very useful feature. It is used to perform the initial configuration procedures with its help but also access the main settings and customizations during operation. It also displays useful information like which Wi-Fi networks are running and the current mode (Router, Access Point or Repeater), time/date and the number of connected stations on the screen. We have unboxed the TP Link Touch P5 router and here is what we came up with.
