Review on Wi-Fi router TP-LINK Archer C5, white by Stanislaw Bieroza ᠌

Revainrating 1 out of 5

How could such a bad product be made?

Dano wanted to upgrade his outdated TP-Link WR841N router to one that handled more than 100 Megabits per second (Mb/s), so he could take advantage of the faster Internet connection supplied by his Internet service provider. After that, I purchased it for the absurdly low price of 1,530 r. Included features are a USB slot, support for 3G and 4G modems, and four gigabit connections. I took each wire out of the old device one at a time and reconnected it to the corresponding port on the new device. I turned it on, waited around ten minutes for the service provider to set up the new device automatically, and then I was surprised to see that the television, as well as all of the laptops and phones that were linked via WiFi, were working from the new router without any settings being changed. Obviously, all I did was set up some security, and that was that. Completely content with the performance of the router up to this point. After a few months, TV-Beeline will no longer function properly through it, and the set-top box will become increasingly sluggish. After two hours of trying different settings and flashing, assistance was unable to resolve the issue. I put it in a box and will most likely try to sell it; maybe someone will get lucky and be able to set it up normally; if not, I will try to give it away.

Pros
  • Affordable, and I didn't even have to bother setting it up.
Cons
  • Internet keeps dropping out. Additionally, WiFi only works sometimes. Already, one antenna can be seen sticking through the wall. TV-Beeline does not function as it should while using it, and the set-top box operates more slowly. After two hours of trying different settings and flashing, assistance was unable to resolve the issue.
