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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent product, the best quality.

I took the cheapest TP-Link WR840N to replace it, which did not survive the storm, and the first thing that caught my eye was that after the replacement, the old laptop began to pull 1080p video in the browser when even 720p went with wild brakes on the old router, I thought it was the old laptop, but it turned out that it was in the router. I also took it for the sake of 5GHz, the entire range was clogged at 2.4, which is why neighboring waffles in neighboring rooms began to interfere with mine and the quality of the Internet dropped sharply, then 5GHz saved me, there are no more problems with the Internet. Compared to the cheapest WR840N, Archer has slightly more coverage at 2.4GHz, if you have a large house and a regular router is not enough, then try this model. I also want to say a few words about the support of 3-4G modems. This router can be taken anywhere, to the country house, to the garden, where you will find electricity and with the support of wireless modems you can organize Internet access for your whole family.

Pros
  • The cheapest router with 5GHz support. Does not cut speed, 2.4GHz transmits just fine, the signal even covers neighboring apartments through several load-bearing walls. 5GHz catches much less, but it covers the kopeck piece normally, although in the farthest corners the signal starts to fade quite strongly, but for 5GHz this is normal. Easy to install, the router does not require a reboot after changing the settings, everything happens instantly. There is a guest network, it is possible to turn off one of the networks altogether or work on two frequencies at the same time. Not heated, not a single break in six months. After some router settings and frequency selection, it was possible to slightly expand the 5GHz signal. When the signal was set to channel 64, the signal became noticeably stronger!
Cons
  • No gigabit ports, max 100Mbps. Appearance 5 points but all indicators are blue, during a break the Internet icon is yellow but not always.
