Review on WiFi router TP-LINK Archer C6, black by Dimitar Moskovsky ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The best I ever used, recommend it to everybody.

The best router I've ever had, and there were five of them. Its pros: 1. There is a guest network, control from a smartphone, support for ipv6, all ports are gigabit 2. Allows you to ign names to all connected devices. This is very convenient, at any time you can look at the list of connected devices and not puzzle over the question "What kind of device is this? Are the neighbors hooked up? " 3. You can specify priority devices - if the media player is given priority, then playback of streaming video will not slow down if another device gnaws out the entire width of the channel. Just a golden skill 4. Allows you to raise a VPN, this makes it possible, for example, to distribute your Internet to friends if they are in the local network of the provider 5. Specific devices can be specified to use a specific -Amazon mode, thus providing a certain level of restrictions from graphy and fraudulent sites 6. Specific devices can be scheduled to access specific sites 7. Flashing lights can be turned off according to the schedule 8. Able to do a scheduled reboot (my previous tp-link router didn’t know how, but this was sorely lacking) Cons: 1. Very long reboot, just a few minutes 2. After three days of hard work, the router for some reason began to issue a total of ~ 10 megabits to the connected devices instead of the usual 100 megabits. The reboot brought everything back to its place, but this is a clear minus in terms of stability. When I turned off statistics and all other advanced functions, the router, even with hard work, did not give out such a problem, despite the long work without rebooting 3. The statistics are bad. It is there, but it's crooked. Does not show how long the router has been working since the last restart, does not show the total incoming / outgoing traffic by month / week / day 4. When the mac-address of one of the smartphones was in both DHCP and ARP binding, then for some reason the smartphone could not connect to the router in principle, although other devices connected correctly under the same conditions. Disabling ARP binding fixed the issue. It can be attributed to the curvature of the smartphone, but even in this situation, the curvature of the router is also clearly present 5. For some reason, authorization in the router interface does not allow Chrome to remember the pword, and Firefox remembers the wrong pword. Seeing this for the first time The shortcomings are essentially small, they do not spoil the overall picture, although they create the smell of tar in honey. It is possible that they will be fixed in the new firmware (but it is also possible that new problems will be added).
