Disappointing!
My first TP link router. Good build quality. Bad signal range. Faced multiple disconnections from day one. 5Ghz band barely held signal within a 5 meter range. Most times I couldn't even find the 5ghz connection to connect to. The 2.4 GHz band wasn't effective even in the next room. I wanted a Gigabit router to maximize my 100 mbps connection speed but this barely touched 20 Mbps in the next room on the 2.4 GHz band. This has a worse range than the entry level Netgear routers. This probably works better in a setting with no interference of walls/doors. I had to return it and bought a Tenda AC10 instead.

Worst piece of $@$*#&$
First one arrived, set it up and within a week it conked off.
Wi-Fi stopped connecting
Ethernet link shows down
Connecting to administer via Ethernet cable was a test of patience
factory reset did not help
Returned and exchanged in hope of getting lucky
second one arrived....
This time it went bust in a matter of hours..
My advice: Avoid it like a plague

Update: I am revising my review for this product. TP link released a new firware after few months and on updating the latest firmware the router is working good for past few months. The overall experience of using this router is good. Now I can recommend buying this product.
Update: after 3 months the router is abruptly freezing from time to time and I am not able to connect any device to the wifi network. Only after I reboot I am able to reconnect to wifi network. Tp link India support centre have no clue what's wrong. Don't buy this product there is a flaw in this product.
Initial review after buying:
Good product with USB port, beamfoarming in AC and gigabit Ethernet. Range is ok.

TP-link and customer support/ warranty are antonyms.
I ordered this router the first thing after amazon started delivering post lockdown. The product performed well. Delivered the mentioned speed and has a decent (if not better) coverage area. Enough to suffice a sub 1800 sq. feet apartment (Walls and objects impact greatly). If however, your house is bigger, I recommend a higher power router.
In my case, the router just stopped working one fine evening and the Customer Support is so damn pathetic, every time I call them, it takes me 20 min to connect to a Customer Care Rep when I register for warranty related issues. When I do, I have to explain them the whole thing with details every single time (no, they do not keep a record), after which they say they'll send you a mail but somehow always forget to. It's been more than 10 days and 4 calls. No responce. Egregious service!
In conclusion, please buy a product from a company who gives a damn about their customers.
(Pst pst, D-link)

Does not give good connection
Does NOT do its job. 2.4 Ghz connection completely unstable.
I am getting range of about 2 signals in a bedroome that is around 30 feet away from the router but no internet. Otherwise the 5ghz one is giving fine speeds. But I did not expect the 2.4 ghz connection to have drops and I am experiencing some drops in the network from time to time. The MIMO is not clearly visible.
Very bad router. No range in the next room. Completely useless. Not once am I able to stream video content hotstar/netflix etc. I am using an old single band router.
Edit1 :
This is bullshit from amazon. adding the reviews of many tp link routers together. Confusing the consumers into buying bad products.

Best VFM Router
I thought of getting a mesh system but they were too expensive so went with this and one reapeater setup. A few key points I would like to highlight are listed below:
1. The single USB port can be used to connect a powered hub and connect multiple HDDs and printers. It cannot provide power to all the connected devices thats why I said a powered USB hub. I tested it with a 750GB HDD alone and it worked without the need to external power.
2. The app for the router does let you see the client connected over internet as well but it is not a full fledged cloud router and you cannot use IFTTT for any kind of notifications.
I will not comment too much on range as that is too much dependent on you home and placement of the router but it is definitely better than old Netgear DGND3700 for sure and its 5Ghz band is specifically much more powerful than my old router.

Needs reboot to get 2.4Ghz working every 4 hours
The 2.4 Ghz channel keeps getting disconnected every 4 hours and after that no devices are able to connect on the 2.4 Ghz channel. The 5 Ghz channel keeps working as expected. This is not a one-off case, this issue is reported by lot of people in last 1 year and no firmware upgrade has been able to solve it.
TP link website given no indication of a solution or a firmware to solve it. Very careless behaviour. Don't buy.

Very Poor Performing High End Tp Link Router
This product is beast when it comes to specifications but it offers very poor wifi performance. Speeds drops consistently , Poor wifi signal ( Not even reaching to 1st floor ). Firmware issue and Tp link usually provides updates rarely. Even after modification of settings by Tp link customer support via remote link there was no improvement. Even Ethernet speed issue with this product. High Price very less performance. Think twice before buying it. Many be if Tp link releases hardware version 2.0 it may be good. Amazon as usual fast delivery and returning item because of poor performance ( may also be defective product ).

Great value for money, highly recommended.
This was an upgrade from the Linksys E900 router. The dual band 2.4 GHz / 5 GHz certainly makes a big difference as compared to the single band E900.
For reference, I'm currently on the 75 Mbps plan from ACT.
With the E900, my maximum download speed was topping off at 60 Mbps. However, with the upgrade in place, I'm now getting a consistent 70+ Mbps at all times (the speeds with the E900 used to fluctuate a lot).
Range too, is pretty good on this router. Do bear in mind, however, that the range will take a substantial hit when connected to the 5 GHz WiFi as compared to the 2.4 GHz.
For those of you who're new to dual band WiFi routers like me, note that this will broadcast two separate SSIDs, one for each band, depending on which your speed and range will vary.
The setup process was an absolute breeze. Simply plug in the power and the internet cable and connect to either of the SSIDs using the password printed on the underside of the router on a computer or smartphone (computer is recommended) and open up your browser. The configuration page should open automatically. Follow the steps and you're good to go in no time. You could also download the Tether app available for Android and iOS devices for changing settings and monitoring the list of connected devices on the fly.
Go for it, it's well worth your money.

Does all the essentials right, and works well.
It does everything I need it to do. It lacks features like MIMO but I don't really need it right now. I have a 100mbps connection and get 85-94mbps wired and 75-85mbps over Wifi. Setup is very easy and the mobile app helps for easy monitoring. I have had no issues in the few months that I have owned this router and is more reliable than other routers in this price bracket.

Beauty and the Beast!!!!
This is a great product.
I have been using this for over 2 weeks now and really never had to bother about my wifi speed during this time.
I have an ACT fibernet connection, which delivers 150 mbps broadband.
With this dual band router i always get full speed on 5GHz and approximately 50mbps if connected to 2GHz frequency.
It can pretty easily cover 2,3 Bhk homes if placed centrally. Even works considerably for a floor above and below. But signal strength washes away if you ho beyond. THAT IS FINE.
Usage:
We usually connect 2 Mobiles, 2 laptops, 1 FullHd tv streaming Netflix etc and 1 echo dot with fluid ,stable connection.
There is no buffering in Tv while playing any online content.
My major concern with old router was while working over VPN as that demands really stable connection (Less speed is fine but it shouldn't flicker), now i don't notice a difference if i m connected to ethernet or on wifi.
It would be cherry on top if one USB port was provided, thats ok i guess since i had no specific use case for it. Unless you want to create a local NAS kind of stuff.
And thanks amazon for great delivery and price.!!!!

Good Speeds and Sturdy Build but needs Software Improvements
Having burnt my fingers with a single band Mi Router 3C, I decided to double my budget and go for a decent router from a reputed brand. I have been using TP Link's Wifi adapter for years so it was a natural choice. Eventually I settled for the C6 as the A6 offered no additional features and C80 and higher had a significantly higher price.
Anyhow this is my initial review, which I will update if anything changes -
Build - Decent Quality. It's entirely plastic but looks durable. The shiny top surface is a finger magnet but then you won't be handling your router everyday. It is very light and can be balanced on narrow surfaces. Antennas are sturdy and maintain position if the router is moved or shaken quickly.
Rating - 5/5
Setup - A bit tricky, this one. I'm on a Static IP FTTH connection so I assumed juet inputing values (IP, Gateway, Subnet, etc) will do the trick. However, it did not. Had to call up customer care and they asked me to change the Primary DNS. From experience I believe there was a MAC lock involved which they unlocked during the call but I can't be sure. Anyway it took about an hour and half to set every thing up. This isn't TP-LINK's fault.
What is their fault is that MAC spoofing doesn't seem to work. So if your ISP isn't responding you may be stuck.
Rating - 4/5
Range and Signal Strength - Both are miles ahead of my 3C. I have a three storied house with thick 45-year old brick walls. Even on the third storey (with router on the ground floor) I could get a signal. Not possible with my 3c. Of course it's the 2.4GHz one and not 5Ghz but it's there.
Speed wise 5GHz is the king snd everyone knows that. Within the room and in the next room it works pretty good. Beyond that 2.4GHz seems to work well.
One grouse I have is that "Smart" Connection isn't good. Smart allows your device to connect based on the connection that gets the highest speed in that range. But with Smart on my adapter (from the same brand) gave miserable 560Kbps speeds on a 130Mbps connection. This with the adapter stuck to the computer on which the router was placed.
Separating the two bands by turning off Smart resulted in a huge improvement. 2.4GHz gives up to 80 Mbps in the same room while 5Ghz gives the full 130Mbps. One floor above I get 30-40Mbps. On the second floor it falls to 10-12Mbps.
So the antenna and radio are great, but the software needs to be improved.
Rating - 4/5
Bells and Whistles - The router boasts of MU-MIMO and beam forming. Turning the former on improved my connection speed and stability by around 5-10% on the ground and first floors. Beyond that no noticeable difference could be felt.
Haven't tried other features like VPN etc.
Rating - 5/5
Conclusion - Compared to the 3C this router actually allows me to enjoy the FTTH speeds I pay for. The hardware is impeccable and sturdy. The software is useful but needs some back end tweaking in the "Smart" department. That aside it's one of the most VFM routers under 3K for anyone with a 100Mbps connection or higher.

Average Router!
Router is a very average router. It does provides blazing speed when you are around it. But the whole point of wifi is you should be able to get good speed at reasonable distance. By distance i mean in adjacent room the wifi connectivity is spotty for both 5ghz and 2.4ghz. FireTV stick at 10 feet distance is barely able to stream NETFLIX in HD quality continuously.
I recommend to either go for C1750 or higher router or jump to Netgear router.
PS: I have an 100Mbps Connection. I get 97Mbps on 5 ghz and 25Mbps on 2.4 ghz bands when I am near the router.

Serious bandwidth issue due to bad firmware. No Fix from TP-Link is available yet for this version.
I bought this router back in March of 2020 and I have been using it since and at the time this router looked good on paper and I have been using a Older TP-Link router for past 3 yrs so I went ahead and bought it. This router is the (US) version which amazon is selling in India. At first, the router was working well. I didn't experience any speed related issue on WIFI or on LAN.
There was some connectivity issues on CSGO (using LAN) but I thought it was a problem from ISPs end. But later, I found out the router was causing instability. After few months or constant observation, I came to the conclusion that my router was causing the issue this whole time and after a few searches online it was obvious that I was not the only one having the issue. I did contact TP-Link support and they fail to solve the problem. I did update the firmware to version 1.1.17 (20201010) but the issue is still present.
My ISP provides - 100MBPS (Download)/ 50MBPS (Upload)
Router gives 17mbps download and fails the test later. Mostly It can't even complete the speed test.
Rebooting the router fixes the issue for 5-10mins maybe sometime for more time but the issues persists to this day. I have also heard that they fixed that issue in (EU) version. But amazon is shipping (US) version in India so no luck there either. There is no DD-WRT support yet for this version (TP-LINK Archer C6 AC1200) so the last thing you can do is send this to the warehouse in MUMBAI and wait until TP-LINK send a replacement and Pray that works fine.
PS: Don't fall for the specs the issues are real and makes the router completely useless.

SLOW SPEED in 2.4GHZ Mode
This router is great for 5GHZ Devices or anything that goes below 60MBPS because the max output from 2.4GHZ Wireless band is only 61MBPS MAX however if you switch to 5GHZ than it's fast,
I have a 100MBPS connection and most of my devices are 2.4GHZ supportable and it's not an Ideal router
even tho it claims to have a 300MBPS connectivity in 2.4GHZ Wireless bands
(Tried on multiple 2.4GHZ Devices, with optimal Channel, WPA2-AES and 40MHZ bands but it's still the same)
WORST FOR 2.4GHZ

Great router for plans 750 Mbps or less and home area is 1200 sq.ft or less
Before I describe the router and its benefits I need to describe our home and it’s area and also the Internet plan we have. We live in a 2 BHK apartment with approx 1200 sq ft and have lived here for 4 years. When we moved in we took an ACT incredible plan with 150Mbps download speed which ACT then upgraded to ACT lightning plan with 250 Mbps free of cost a year later and now we have ACT advance received as a free upgrade almost a year ago. This one is supposed to give us about 400 Mbps but we have only been receiving 150 to 170 Mbps around about. So I understood that I need a router upgrade from my old D-link dual band to another, and that’s when I found out about Archer C6. After reading and watching reviews comparing it to A6 and Tenda AC10, and also consulting with our ACT technician I decided to go for the C6. It’s been 10 days and it’s been a better streaming, downloading and WFH experience throughout the home.
Though the C6 has dual bands, you can set to autodetect the faster band depending on your location of in your home. For us, we found out that C6 covers the entire home with the 5G band itself as I could receive approximately 300 Mbps in the living room and 200 Mbps in the bedroom next to it and about 100 to 170 Mbps in our Master bedroom and the bathroom attached which are behind 2 walls. And when I tested the 2.4 G Hz in these farthest locations, it only gave me 5 to 15Mbps which means if this band has to give me better speed , I had to farther away i.e I need to step out of my apt and walk the corridor towards the elevator and check if the 2.4 G Hz works there. But that’s a curiosity for another day but I hope this helped youunderstand the range this router gives and also with the MU-MIMO technology, my wife and I aren’t complaining about signal loss to each other anymore.
After this upgrade I also understood that that I need to ask ACT to upgrade the RJ45 cable that connects from the wall. That will help us boost the signal to another 50 tom70 Mbps which will take our speed to about 370Mbps and this router is very much capable of that since since its top speed in 5G is up to 867 Mbps and 2.4 G is up to 300.
P.S: please have the router connected through a UPS and not directly to the power source since power fluctuations and outages are common in India, the ups protects the router and helps us have a seamless work/browsing experience when the apt changes the power source to “backup power” when there is power outage in your area

Their service is pretty good but the problem was i would never achieve 100% speeds as promised after complaining them they forced me to upgrade my Router from D-link 600M to this TP-Link Archer C1200 & Ohh my God this is just insanely fast. When i do a speedtest i get 50Mbps download & this is slightly fluctuating for around 2-3%. The 5g bandwidth provides blazing speeds but less range & 2.5g bandwidth provides decent Range but less speeds. this gigabit router doesn't mind if you're wirelessly connected or over LAN the speeds are always damn good.
The Router Setup was fairly good (for non-technically ones, it'll be damn good experience) through the Application.
also the features are pretty impressive.
Thank you Amazon for delivering it in 48hrs as promised.

Good router for QoS and security
I see that this page C5400 has review for all different tp-link routers which is quite surprising on how did Amazon allow this reviewing of other products on c5400 router page (very silly)!!!!!!??
We already know that C5400 router has quad core processor and 1 GB RAM. I tested it and QoS is simply beautifully managed the router does feel that CPU crunch.
The USB 3.0 is good also, you can attach your 1TB HDD and configure it for remote access also but the router gets bit hot using this feature. I guess a firmware upgrade is required and also it should have had 2GB RAM for better management without heat.

Stable strong signal across rooms, range not so bad
This was a long due upgrade and I can say it was worth it. Before this I was using an old belkin 150 Mbps router single band.
My main priority was to get a gigabit dual band with gigabit LAN ports. Which this router had. Setup was very easy and liked the user interface of the TP Link tether app.
Only let down I feel is that I thought I would get phenomenal WiFi range out of this, but it wasn't so. But even with a single dot of range the connection remains stable so that's good. Also, like many people have said do not expect 5ghz to have long range.
To be fair I think my router placement is wrong and in one corner of the house with multiple walls and wooden structures in between. I plan to shift it and try locating it in the centre maybe that will help with the range. For reference my house size is 1,100 sq ft 2BHK.
I would still recommend this router mainly cause of its ease of setting up and stable signal.
Edit 1: So I realised that the range is not so bad afterall, it's actually my Asus Zenfone which seems to have a weaker WiFi receiver, my iPad, MacBook, my wife's Oneplus get more than half range. While at the same spot my Asus gets only one single dot -_-. Nonetheless even with one single dot, connectivity is stable with no loss in data and not much drop in latency either. I also forgot to mention the super handy Tp-link tether app which enables even a basic user to control a lot of the routers features via mobile app.

Best as a booster
I used this router with a wired RJ45 connection to my existing wi fi router & placed it another part of my house & it has boosted my wifi signal tremendously which has served my purpose great covering all the weak reception spots with its 4 antennae array.
I read that wifi boosters tend to reduce the wifi speed by almost half & decided to try this instead. It has not affected my wifi signal speed or bandwidth in the least bit. Now my Firestick shows a very good signal strength & my movies stream perfectly. Well worth the cost as a booster & if my original router fails I have an instant back up ready as well.

Good throughput on 2.4 ghz and 5 ghz - Archer C6 AC1200 Gigabit MU-MIMO Mesh Router
I have been using N600 router of Netgear all these years and I have a 150 mbps internet connection from ACT. Though it supports 300 mbps on both bands, I never used to get even a 10-12 mbps output. After lots of research and study, I bought Archer C6 AC1200 Gigabit router and I was sweetly surprised to see that I could get consistently close to 80 to 90 mbps speed on 5 ghz band and 40 mbps on 2.4 band. This is largely because it supports higher bandwidth and you can choose different IEEE protocols ranging from 802.11a/g/n/ac. Both 11n and 11ac gives you higher bandwidths. I got this for Rs. 2299 which is a very good price given the quality of the router. If you have a higher bandwidth connection at home then this is one of the best routers available in this price range. It is easy to install, good user interface, it also can be configured thru Tether mobile app which is pretty easy, very light weight with 5 antennas. It also supports Onemesh technology where if you have multi floor house, and if you buy a compatible range extender from TP-Link (RE305 V3) it allows you to quickly create onemesh in the entire house by allowing to keep one SSID for 2.4 and 5 ghz bands. The Onemesh technology identifies all wifi dead zones in your home and the range extender works like a magic to retelecast the signals from the main router across the home. So as you move you can see the signals gets boosted up. Worth buying and would recommend.
Pros:
- Dual bands 2.4 and 5 ghz gives you a total max bandwidth of 1.2 gbps if your ISP gives you that :-)
- Multiple protocols of 802.11 standards allow you to max your bandwidth
- Easy to configure and install with a decent user interface
- Can configure and control remotely (from outside your home) the router thru cloud and Tether mobile app
- Weighs light
- 5 antennas gives good coverage
- No need to restart the router when you change the channel number or mode
- 3 years warranty
Cons:
- Sometimes couldn't access the router thru the IP and have to use tplinkwifi.net
- V2 is only available in India. But this is a US version of the product. Though its not a con but you might not have latest features
- Product page in Amazon doesn't clearly specify the version number of the hardware, make (US or EU). This is something seller needs to add as there are certain features of the functionality is not available always
- Online Help on the router page could have been little more detailed like in Netgear router where the explanation for each settings in the form of help is very good

Decent router
Great value. Setup is a breeze. No big deal for anyone who has setup a WiFi router.
Bought this to replace a Cisco Valet router that kept needing reboots. Running stable so far. Speeds are vastly improved with this router. Am still to figure out why they have given beam-forming as an option , with default no. I would have thought it would be turned on by default and have no idea why it should ever be turned off.
I would not suggest a tplink account to get remote access etc - you are only creating another security hole.
Been running stably for over a week. Quite happy with this product!

Perfect Router for home use
As I am using 300 mbps fiber internet, so I buyed the router thinking of future. As this router will support 1750 mbps so It will work If I inceease my speed in future for 1 Gb speed. Installtion is very easy and also in app you have added features you can use. So its a good buy with 56% discount.
Recommended if you are planning to upgrde speed in next few years.

TP link ho gaya hai pagal..
Completely different product from C6 and it's written on box also it's C6. Tho in actuals this product resembles A6...
I had ordered C6. But what I got is a product which is A6 in look wise. Totally confused with this mystery. Returning it .
Tho I tried to install it., But speeds aren't upto mark. Supports one mesh that's written on box., may be coz of which speed at 2.4Ghz is v poor.
Don't Buy. Not recommended. They will send a completely different product which isn't a oh la la product 😂
Update : 1.03.21
returned and received the same model again ..
To solve the mystery i opened Tplink webpage .
what i have been send is C6 Ver 3.20 . design is exactly same to A6. This doesn't support Mu- Mimo although its written on box that it supports. Instead it supports One mesh which i guess isn't helpful to many people unless you have a existing mesh device already installed.
what they have displayed here in C6 Ver 2.0 but they are no longer selling it ( only old stock)
i will not recommend this C6 Ver 3.20. speed are vary .. in 2.4Ghz it drops to 15 mbps even if you are just 1 feet away from router. in 5Ghz it works good .. my plan to 150 Mbps and it reaches easily to 140 Mbps .
decide accordingly .
Thank You.

Got a Defective Product
I've been using TP-Link Routers at home and work for quite some time now, however since I upgraded my net speed to 100mbps I had to get one these so-called Giga Routers. Like in the past I assumed this would also be a Set-up and forget about it like all the others before it.
Once the set up was done I could log-on to the net for exactly 2 mins before the Router would REBOOT! Thought it might have been a 1-time anomaly or might have been something wrong with the connection.
Got the connection check, replaced it one of my old TP-Link Routers and it was working fine.
I wasn't getting the Full Range and Bandwith I was getting with the Giga router but at least it was rebooting involuntarily every few minutes.
After checking everything else I concluded that there was an issue with the router I received.
I checked Online and turns out some of the other users of this same C1200 model were facing the same issues as well. None of them could find a solution.
I have returned this Router ... It might have been one of those 1 in 100 defective piece or there might some an issue with this model an not sure which. However, I would recommend anyone buying this model to check for this issue on the day they receive the package.
Please Note I have reordered another model of TP-Link Router and am hoping that doesn't have the same issue.

Jio Fiber Users Must Read This
Writing this to help Jio Fiber Customers. I have an apartment of approx 2400 Sqft. I have a Jio Home Gateway installed in my drawing room and i was using it to do my office work from the bedroom. (Approx 30ft apart) . Neither 5Ghz band worked nor 2.5 Ghz
The wifi signal from Jio there was pathetic.I purchased a range extender from TP Link RE 300 to extend the wifi signal. It didn’t help. I had to use 4G every day to connect to my office. The signal from extender was full but Jio Home Gateway and Range Extender were not working properly together. Connection between Range Extender and Jio Home Gateway kept dropping and i was suffering a lot.
I ordered this router and I’m very happy and satisfied with the purchase. I turned off Wifi signal from Jio Home Gateway and connected this router by Lan Cable to Jio Gateway
Now this router and my range extender do wonders! No more conference call drops and internet disconnections!
I recommend this router for people like me. This made me realise how terrible Jio Home Gateway is in terms of Wifi coverage (both 2.4 and 5ghz bands)

Not for video calls 👎😤
TP-Link Archer C6 is a good looking router, but not serving its main purpose. The wall penetration is adequate but not as good as 👉"Tenda A10". Mine is a 100Mbps connection and following are the speed results;
---------------------------------------------------------------
5Ghz - Same room, 90Mbps+ up & dwn. After a wall, (4-5m) no range!
2.5Ghz- Same room, 30-45Mbps up & dwn. After a wall or two, 15-25Mbps up &dwn.
---------------------------------------------------------------
The rage of 2.4Ghz is good after 3 walls but the speeds are terrible. I am not recommending this. After many reviews and articles, I found that among Tenda A10, Archer C6 and Archer C60, the TP-Link Archer C60 is the best performer. But the problem with TP-Link Archer C60 that, it has no gigabit port.
I got two of these C6 modem and both are terrible with video calls. Constantly disconnects each. Returned both of them and got Tenda AC10. Now everything works perfectly. Tenda AC10 also have the 2.4Ghz slow speed issue. Now I am planning to return it and go for TP-Link Archer C80 AC1900. 😔😔
For the 100Mbps connection, TP-Link Archer C60 is the best under rs. 2500.
For range, buy the Tenda A10. But speeds are same as Archer C6!!

Prepare for a volley of firmware problems, specification dissapointments and zero technical support.
Does its job OK. Good hardware for the price.
But currently there are massive firmware problems for this device that lead to WiFi problems, especially on the 2.4 GHz network that make it unusable in many cases. Check the TP-Link forums before buying. So unless you want to get your hands dirty and test every bit of functionality and become TP-Link's QA department, go for something that's plug and play. Technical support will not help you with anything beyond a standard set of solutions. Their phone support has abysmal wait times.
5 GHz radio only supports bands 36,40,44 and 48. So if you have multiple TP-Link Archer C6s with some configured as APs in your network, 5 GHz can operate only at a 20 MHz channel width. This is not mentioned anywhere on their product page. Also, the WebUI says 5 GHz is broadcasting at 20 MHz, but its actually putting out an 80 MHz signal, which in my case means unusability due to interference between 3 APs. Email support hasn't got back to me in a week, and they are ignoring my emails.
Also, no ethernet backhaul for these devices. OneMesh is wireless backhaul and works only with a TP-Link router as master and a TP-Link range extender as slave. So if you plan on using multiple router units to enhance coverage at your home/office (some in AP mode), WiFi roaming is managed on the client device. There will be no intelligent hand-off between different APs.
TL;DR : Too many firmware issues. Non-existent technical support, even if you provide them with detailed testing data. Specifications not as advertised. AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE!

Few ups and few downs, but worth for the amount I spent (Archer C7)
(Archer C7)
Works as expected. First the processor was always at 100%, but later it's normal. Router bottom is always warm.
I've bought this router for better Wi-Fi coverage, a good NAS, to be able to flash custom firmware like DD-WRT.
Well, Wi-Fi coverage is always sub-par compared with other routers, so don't expect great Wi-Fi coverage like Netgear/asus. But it's decent. It has mesh feature with compatible extenders, but I'm living in a medium sized home and WiFi covers almost all places. It has an option to merge both 2.4 and 5GHz networks with single SSID, so that router will manage which type of network you need based on distance from router. NAS have both FTP and Samba protocols, but both don't work so easily. I Always face issues with Samba. File transfer speeds in 5GHz signal is Max 2 to 3 MBps, some times constant 500 to 600 kbps, don't know why the big variation. FTP always works, but can't transfer multiple files at once as it's protocol limitation. Planned to flash DD-WRT, but so far the router working good, using more than 20 devices, no networking issues, showing real time performance and logs are accurate and don't want to give up Alexa integration with router. So, I've postponed the custom firmware flashing.
Final verdict: it's worth for the amount I paid (₹4,500).

Good speed
I've been reviewing lot of dual band routers in recent , was waiting for a long time . At last decided to go with this TP Link . Wi-fi signals are awesome . I have a 100 mbps net pack and now getting almost 80 mbps speed through 5G band on my phone and laptop . Its the first day so i would test it for couple of days and provide my review again . So far i am happy with the delivery , installation & Wifi signals. No cons i could figure out , just that router is little bigger in size. ( Not too big though ) . Also Antennas are unremovable , so you can't upgrade it to high antennas if you have any plans. I would recommend go for it . Budget friendly router

Defective product**Slow service turn around time**
Mobile app is self explanatory and easy to configure the router. I have encountered a weird issue of bad signal and intermittent signal drop on 2.4 Ghz band just in a month after the purchase. It was a kind of disappointing to see a defective product. The service center was another disappointment. As per Tp-Link portal, they are working on all days Mon-Sat until 6PM except public holidays. But they were closed @ 5PM on a saturday which was not a public holiday @chennai service center.
Second visit they took my router for replacement and they it would take a month to get the replacement. That was the horrible part. I don't see that as a fair turnaround time for a customer who paid the product and now had to wait for a month without a router. That gives a feedback as poor customer care for TP-Link. I had used a Mi router in the past. I had intermittent disconnection issue, and they replaced it immediately. TP-Link has to seriously focus on the after sales part to gain customer confidence. Hope someone would read this to make betterment for the customers :-)

Fantasticcc with BSNL FTTH as well !!
Wowrey 🤩 .. Trust me :-) ! This is a beast !!
I connected them with to my BSNL FTTH modem ! Setup is so easy .. ( in case if u didn't know , you can ping me for configuration so that I can assist you ) ..
Connection speed : 80 mbps
1. The first image shows speed when I was about 20 feet away from router ! (93mbps)
2. The second image shows the speed in my first floor extreme corner ! (Around 58mbps)
Note : I just placed my router on table ! I'm pretty sure that if I mount on wall , I will be getting more speed !
3. Regarding range , it should do well for a 1000-1300 sq ft home without loss of speed !
Entire coverage range may b around 1700-1800 sq ft !!
I connected them with to my BSNL FTTH modem ! Setup is so easy .. ( in case if u didn't know , you can ping me for configuration so that I can assist you ) ..
Connection speed : 80 mbps
1. The first image shows speed when I was about 20 feet away from router ! (93mbps)
2. The second image shows the speed in my first floor extreme corner ! (Around 58mbps)
Note : I just placed my router on table ! I'm pretty sure that if I mount on wall , I will be getting more speed !

Excellent wifi router for large houses.
I have a 100 Mbps fibre optic internet connection. However, I had an N type router earlier and I have never seen speeds above 10 Mbps at any time. The signal never reached the rooms farther away from the router. I bought Archer C6 to overcome these 2 issues and I am absolutely delighted to say that the router delivers exactly what I wanted. Now I get consistent speeds above 100 Mbps through out the day and I get both 2.5 Gigs and 5 Gigs signals through my 3100 sq feet single floor flat. No need for boosters or the like. Installation and set up is fairly simple. The tether app is very good and lets me have control over all the devices connected to the router including parental control. The router also looks good in black.

A value for money and perfect product.
A wonderful product that does justice to my 100 Mbps connection. I am not gonna into a detailed review, but I would like to highlight some points that were raised by some other reviewers.
1. It is ver2 of the hardware, and yes, it's designed to be sold in the US. But it does not matter since this is not a modem, but a router. It works perfectly when plugged into the lan port of your existing router/modem.
2. The range for 5GHz is not terrible. It is much lower than that of 2.4GHz but that is to be expected.
3. Speed on 5GHz throughout my double storey house does not drop beyond 50 Mbps. So, I've disabled the 2.4 band.
I have this router plugged into my ZTE Router/Modem that was provided to me by my ISP (Connect Broadband, Punjab). The modem has a GE port. Make sure that whatever you plug this into has a GE port. GE stands for Gigabit Ethernet. Without GE on your modem, this will be a waste of money for you.
Last point, make sure that you're using at least a Cat5E cable for the connection. The one supplied in the box is also 5E, but if you can get 6 that would be perfect.
5E can only supply speeds upto 100 Mbps in theory.
Hope you found this review helpful!

Hear Me Out, Simply, Not Worth It.
On paper, yes it seems like a perfect choice for the specs it provides but idk if it's the hardware or the driver that simply don't deliver.
I had my device tested and i'm sure that 5GHz range is way lower than it should be at this price point. (I did compare it with Tenda, D Link Routers)
Bandwidth management would be the worst one that i have ever seen (i have even used 500 rupee Tenda Routers).
It randomly resets at its own ease, the protocol of this router suggest to cut off the data packets if the signal is poor, so not recommended for gaming.
Pleanty of Double NAT issues so Not suitable for gaming, only One UDP protocol suite is allowed so if you have a wireless printer, xbox one x or Internet of Things caple devices with you, choose your favourite one because at a time only one can work. (I'm honestly impressed with Asus and the capabilities of their routers but then their price :) ).
As far as the compamy is concerned - NOT SATISFIED.

Poor range of 5GHZ, buy only if you spend most of the time in the same room
1) V3 model received instead of V2, that is okay but V3 has a rough pattern that attracts dust and cannot be cleaned easily.
2) Auto switching between 2.4GHZ and 5GHZ networks, you don't have to do it manually, is an excellent feature.
3) Very poor range of 5Ghz, router switches to lower frequency as soon as u step more than 10 feet away, speed on 2.4Ghz is slower than my last 2.4Ghz TP Link router and this sucks.
4) TP link has updated OS for V3 routers and it is good looking but not very functional.

I have been using TPlink 300 Mbps Router for more than 5 years. Recently it started to give inconsistent connectivity and considered Archer C6 as an upgrade. Installation was pretty much straight forward and easy. Just keep your internet service provider account details and password ready before commencing the installation.
# Awesome speed if it is in line-of-sight at about 20 to 30 feet. I could get 144 Mbps Upload and 124 Mbps Down load speed. I use ACT direct FTH link.
# Speed drops by 75% to 85% for devices located just a floor above. Hence, landed up using TP-Link repeaters. Yet could not see much improvement.
# Dual channel setup works fine
# Lots of You tube content available to catch up any specific configurations. Like I used the old Router to setup as a WDS bridge.
# Happy with the purchase and price paid for it.
# 3 stars as it did not really meet the requirements for extended connectivity between floors. If I consider for a single floor connectivity - it deserves 5 stars and more!

Amazing quality and best performance Till date
It is covering all my 3 floor house with constant speed at every place
It also auto switches between 2.5/ 5 GHZ signals which is quite good features hasle free video streaming over any device
5 GHZ gives ultrafine Gameplay without any Lag or latency with ping of 20-35 maximum
While 2.4 ghz band allows 100ms on third floor while router is placed on ground floor room
Connection max speed of 50 MBPS and on speed test gives 44-48 MBPS downloading
I am very Happy worth of money i highly recommend this model on this price range best product i will give 5 star for product.

Good But Not Exceptional.
Easily set up. The router comes with a wifi on/off switch. The router has separate USB 3 and USB 2 ports. Though the speed with 5GHz and 2.4GHz bands is good, the wifi coverage is not up to the mark and can only be compared with that of a router with 5 dbi antennae. The most useful bandwidth control feature is not available with the newer hardware version. The bandwidth control option was far better than QoS. TP-Link spoiled this feature by introducing QoS. TP-Link must consider adding this option with another firmware update.

Best Router in Budget - Archer C9 H/W Ver5.1
Best router in this category:
1. Best hardware specifications in this budget range. WiFi signals range is 200 ft in open.
2. Nice clean and light GUI. New Also very easy to install on network.
3. Speed and performance is awesome, even while connected 11 wired and 8 wireless clients
4. USB support for external 3g/4g devices, network printing or even use you external HDD drives as your home NAS system. Speed is good on file transfers.
Opensource firmware available for Previous versions, hopefully it will be available for this new as well. Review for Archer C9 H/W V5.1
Update on 4 Oct 19:
After using for months now, still working without any issue. Never dropped signals.
Still I need to replace this router because it is missing a very important feature, controlling bandwidth/speed and controlling data quota* limit per day of clients based on ip or ip range or Mac id. QoS feature is a joke for this router firmware.

Excellent Product
I went ahead and bought TP Link C1200 with few doubts in mind, the first one which came was i think defective or don't know, returned and got a new one. This one has been working excellent. I have had no issues with connection drops or speed or coverage. I use ACT at home with his router and I m getting optimum speed. I also bough a range extender which is helping in enhancing the coverage at home. Extender is place at half way of router coverage making the connection robust and effective use for extender

-1 star for Scam
I have reduced 1 star because I received v2 of Archer c6 and product image is for v3. This is very bad on the part of the seller which is amazon co-company and it damages Amazon reputation.
Product is super easy to setup and give very good performance.

Gigabit router, clean look, good quality
Even though I saw some negative reviews I still gave this device a chance.
So far it's pretty good. I bought it mainly since it has the gigabit feature. My previous router didn't have this feature and I was unable to take full advantage from my internet connection.
But this device did the trick. I took this test on 5G wifi with my phone 16 feet away from the router and got 197Mbps. Feeling good do far. Will update if I see an issue.

I don't know why there are so many negative reviews for the product. Its a beast. I was always having a great internet connection of 100 Mbps and didn't get more than 30 earlier. Also in many corners i was getting about 5 Mbps of speed. Now after moving to this router, even in those corners I am getting at least 70 Mbps and in well covered places i am getting 90-92 Mbps.

40Mbps to 300Mbps
Many of us don’t know that the router we use also determines the speed of internet. With existing fiber net we have blazing speeds. But also check if your router supports it. Attached an image which will act as a guide to help you choose a router.. coming to the speed. I was using the default router provided, and i was getting only 40Mbps. After using the router was able to get 300Mbps :-) That’s awesome right! The coverage is also quite good, I get it in the entire house. Tech support can’t comment as I did not reach them out yet. Have a neutral rating
