Review on WiFi router TP-LINK Archer C6, black by Mateusz Dbkowski ᠌

Revainrating 2 out of 5

It is better not to buy it, the product is not what it should be.

The fact that the price is reasonable in comparison to that of other gigabit routers, as well as the fact that it has received favorable reviews on Amazon, drew me in. I required a gigabit router operating at 5 GHz when I upgraded my internet speed to 500 Mbps at home, so I went out and bought one. There is optics in the home, and it goes into the Ericsson T073G terminal, and then from there it goes into this unfortunate TP-Link. Unfortunate, given that 5 GHz Wi-Fi is such a vile technology. Any device may detect it and quickly connect to it; the Internet functions until it stops working, at which point it turns off. In addition, the connection itself is present; but, when I try to use it, I get an error message saying that Internet access has been prohibited because I have removed the patch cord. It only takes a few minutes before it starts to have an effect. 5 GHz is not a horrible frequency on its own; within a reasonable range in my flat made of reinforced concrete, it gives out more than 200 Mbps, and it loads everything extremely swiftly and immediately. All of these benefits, however, are lost due to the ongoing closure. And ALL of the devices are impacted by this issue, which occurs pretty frequently (a few times an hour). I have exhausted every possibility, including changing the channels and width as well as turning off MU-MIMO, but to no avail. In turn, the 2.4 GHz frequency operates reliably. On the other hand, it is painfully slow; whereas the five rockets above 200, the 2.4 Ghz delivers a maximum of 50 Mbps. Check it up on the internet; there are a lot of posts on different support and discussion boards, both Western and 2022, where people are complaining about losing 5 Ghz in a variety of different ways. But, there is no way out of this predicament anyplace. Thus, we cannot call it a marriage. I let myself be swayed by the price and the reviews, and as a consequence, my Wi-Fi has been erratic.

Pros
  • Cost that is not prohibitive Gigabit ports The configuration of the interface
Cons
  • Unstable frequencies at 5 Ghz No USB port
