Review on Wi-Fi router TP-LINK Archer C54, black by Hien Quang ᠌

Revainrating 2 out of 5

I don't want to spend my money on this item.

Objectively, this is an entry-level router with 2 bands and nothing else, in most cases it will be enough for an ordinary user living in 2022, plug it in and forget it. But for the sake of this, pay 1,500. somehow doubtful. As for deep settings, it’s complete sadness here, I couldn’t understand why port forwarding didn’t work under any pretext, resetting to factory settings also doesn’t help. The Internet connection seems to be adapted to most providers, but with manual settings it doesn’t work. Wireless and wired networks are cut in speed by 50/40% for what reasons and circumstances it is not clear either. Bottom line: Overpriced for having 2 bands, any router up to 900 will be much more functional and more stable than this.

Pros
  • Compact, 2 ranges.
Cons
  • - cheap plastic housing; - fixed antennas; - limited functionality of the firmware; - one functional is declared, but in fact half does not work; — completed with a truncated patch cord in 2 pairs; - cuts the speed by 2 times both on LAN and wireless network, the speed is the same in 2.4 and 5 GHz bands, approximately 50/60 Mb/s;
