Review on WiFi router TP-LINK Archer C6, black by Adam Kulesza ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great quality, did not expect at all for the price.

Simply put, the router is a tower. This is not the WI-FI 6 standard, but if you only have three people online at once and fewer than a dozen "smart" Wi-Fi devices, there's not much use in upgrading. See below for some advantages: In 2022, you may expect a straightforward menu with helpful hints. Simple Internet Configuration - a plethora of customizable options Stronger than previous router's transmitters; more reliably collects signals. - uninterrupted service with a 5 GHz signal An older router could only extract 20-25 Mbps from the Internet at 100 Mbps, but with MU-MIMO, you may utilize many devices at once without experiencing any slowdown. This one has a simultaneous 2.4/5 GHz bandwidth of 90-95 Mbps, which is more than enough for file transfers between a computer and a smartphone. The "smart" mode uses only one access point and selects the mode automatically; the "manual" option uses two access points, one each for the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands. The negatives are: Case is pretty clearly delineated. It's convenient that minimal user input is required to run the gadget. A knife and a cutting pad are required to unwrap the protective film covering the antennas. Never got brave enough to even start digging; uses more juice than the old router. The new power supply is 12 watts (the old one was 5.4 watts) and the router is quite a bit bigger than the older models.
