Review on 📶 TP-LINK Archer C7 AC1750 Gigabit Dual Band Wireless Router with WiFi by Frankie Wesley

I have this router on a website one third party found. (Wire Cutter), who aptly called it "the best Wi-Fi router (for most people)". I would probably change that title and say "Best Wi-Fi Router (For Almost Everyone)". Don't let the low price fool you, this is an entry-level or budget model. It only costs around $100, but from what I've seen, its performance far exceeds its price compared to four other routers that cost significantly more. Over the years I have purchased several routers as technology and performance have improved and as the number of devices used by the family has increased. Over the past few years, I've upgraded to more expensive ($300) routers in hopes of better performance. Shortly before that, I had an Asus RT-AC5300, a monster router that cost over $400 at the time of purchase. But I've found that as the price goes up, performance decreases and reliability decreases. These expensive routers are prone to glitches and dropped connections; They simply have too many functions and are too complex, all for the purpose of providing functions that nobody uses or that none of your connected devices support anyway. ASUS got so bad it restarted every few hours. The days of the reliable Linksys WRT54G seemed long gone. So I returned the ASUS RT-AC5300, gave my WRT1900ACS to a friend and bought an Archer C7 (v2). After two weeks of testing I have four words: It just works - period. The signal is strong and penetrates the stucco walls of my almost 100 year old house. Its signal is significantly stronger than the WRT1900ACS I had (which cost nearly three times as much as this one) and rivals ASUS' $400 signal strength. It doesn't drop connections, doesn't reboot, and provides a reliable and stable data stream to all devices, wired and wireless. Just a warning; You must ensure that the Archer C7 you are purchasing is NOT the first version. Everyone on the internet reports that TP-LINK V1 messed up a lot, especially for Macintosh/Apple devices (which is a big part of my house); most of them should already be phased out or in landfills. The device I bought from Revain was V2 and it works great with all my Apple and non-Apple devices.
