Review on Archer C20 Wireless Dual Band Router by TP-LINK - IEEE 802.11ac Ethernet with AC750 for Improved Internet Performance by Avut Deesri ᠌

Friends, this brings us to the end. I've had enough of chewing on this cactus. The period of patience is over, and my teeth are aching from smiling so much:(. The service provider billed me in installments for the purchase of this router. I was hoping to get it for 160 dollars. It would appear that in one month both 5 GHz and I will be immersed in chocolate. Before that, Keenetic Lite III functioned, and it was suitable for everyone. However, now I needed 5 GHz, and I hoped that the coverage would certainly just burn my "three-ruble note" through and through because it had three (!) antennas. The first point of dissatisfaction is the front cover. The presence of three (!) antennas did not improve the coverage of the 2.4 GHz WiFi network; in fact, there were some locations where the coverage was actually worse than it had been with the previous router. Okay, be patient. The second frequency is the 5 GHz. I was aware that the range of this mode is limited, but I did not anticipate that it would be so limited. I had not anticipated that it would be so limited. It was literally enough for one room and a quarter of the next room, but there was a little bit left over. However, this could also be tolerated if it weren't for one bothersome aspect: for some reason that nobody knows, the 5 GHz network would mysteriously vanish at regular intervals. The reboot was helpful. Well, okay, also fairly bearable, but what really is the issue here? The third and most important point is that operating at 2.4 GHz results in a significant slowdown compared to operating at other frequencies. When I was at home, there were times when it got to the point where I turned off my WiFi connection, switched to my mobile data connection, and enjoyed the "flight." I struggled with such indecency in a number of different ways, including changing the position of the router, tinkering with the channel settings, and turning off everything that can be turned off (DHCP, etc.). At other times, a particular action would bring about a temporary success, and the router would continue to function normally without requiring a reboot or showing any obvious signs of degradation for a week, two, or even more. In spite of this, the end result was the same as before: at some point, everything came to a grinding halt, and speedtest revealed to me figures that the proprietor of 100 MB kan is embarrassed to make public. After going through some trouble for a while, I started to get suspicious about the service provider and wonder if he was hacking. But TP is adamant that there will be no problems at all. Through the use of wires, it was possible to verify that the TP was accurate. And despite yet another slowdown, my patience was still tested (yes, yes:). To answer your question, I did not dash to the store. I took Keenetic down from the shelf, plugged it in, and promptly forgot all about the router because it was installed before the Archer C20.
