TP-Link Archer C54 AC1200 Dual Band Wi-Fi Router | 1200 Mbps Wireless WiFi Speed | Multi-Mode | 4 Antennas | Parental Controls | Guest Network 2.4 GHz

Good for speeds upto 100 mbps but doesn't support one mesh,(c64) supports it

Decent product, But I cannot say it is so good as it still lacks sufficient range when used as an extender. I was expecting more.

Why this particular model? My primary purpose for this router was the range extender mode . Upon checking the models and prices I found this to be the best option. Note most tp link or any other router brand do not support range extender option out of box. Meaning you to have to manually check router configuration settings and change the ip....to sum up not feasible for average user. Now some will tell you, that you can use ap or wds bridging. Nope. Let me tell you why, 1. AP mode supports extending both 2.4 amd 5ghz band but your new router has to be physically connected to the old one with a ethernet cable. 2. Wds bridging mode supports connecting two routers without a cable but it can only support either 2.4 or 5ghz band at one time. Meaning you only get single band extension. 3. Range extender mode. Now this is the best. It allows you to simply extend both 2.4ghz and 5ghz band without any ethernet cable connection to primary router. This will extend your wifi range throughout the area. Most routers do not have this mode. Plus this is a gigabit router so it will also support net plans over 100mbps. TP link is a tried and trusted brand when it comes to routers. There are other cheaper alternatives but I always trust tp link over others.

Best router

Hey If you are planning to buy this Please watch out my message. Its a humble request If you are just looking for a cheap router to connect a few phones to scroll social media or watch YouTube, the TP-Link Archer C54 gets the job done. However, if you are a gamer, download large files, or have a fast internet plan, read this before you buy. The Big Flaw: 100Mbps WAN/LAN Ports Even though this is advertised as an "AC1200" router capable of high Wi-Fi speeds, the physical connections on the back are only 100Mbps WAN/LAN ports (often called "Fast Ethernet"). What This Means For You: Do not buy this if your plan is over 75-100 Mbps: Because of those 100Mbps WAN/LAN ports, it is physically impossible for this router to give you speeds higher than 100 Mbps. Even if you pay your ISP for a 200 Mbps or 500 Mbps plan, this router will hard-cap you at 100. Terrible Bufferbloat (Ping Spikes): If you have a 100 Mbps plan, the second you start downloading a game or a large file, the router's 100Mbps physical limit gets completely jammed. My download ping was spiking over 100+ ms, making gaming impossible while downloading. The Fix is Annoying: To stop the lag, I had to go into the router settings and artificially limit my own internet speed to 80 Mbps just to give the router's processor enough "breathing room" to keep my ping stable at around 39ms. If you have 10+ devices in your house or an internet plan of 75 Mbps or higher, spend a little extra money and make sure you buy a router that specifically says it has "Gigabit Ports" (10/100/1000 Mbps). Because of its port limits, the C54 is strictly a basic task handler.

Whatever you buy. Anyways, this is overkill. You're not gonna need. This much speed anyways.

good product overall 👍

Got this as it seemed like a great discounted deal. While the router seems to work fine, what they don't tell you is this router has a HARDWARE (known issue perhaps), where "irrespective of your ISP connection speed, it won't let you speed greater than 10-15mbps, NO MATTER WHAT", even if you are siting next to it and no other devices connected Tried every possible settings (restart, upgrade, change to dedicated band) but the slow speed remains. We ditched this asap, and went with Archer C6 and happy to report great speeds (as expected) snow. SUMMARY: STAY AWAY from this model like a PLAGUE.

Works great & Great price I Definitely recommend this product. 🌟
