As others have mentioned, this works fine, easy set-up but youd better have an unused duplex outlet to plug it in because there is no pass-thru (hence the 4-stars). Not a very attractive device, but I placed it in a low-profile location under a table and it has expanded coverage into my backyard,...

I have been using the TP-LINK Archer C8 for a few months now. The router features simultaneous, dual-band connections, offering maximum speeds of 450Mbps on 2.4GHz and 1300Mbps on 5GHz, in conjunction with gigabit Ethernet for your wired devices.

I have used two of these units now in customers homes, and after my 4 week check in, everything is working fantastic. They indicated the signal strength and range is far superior to their older unit which the ISP gave them.

Small Footprint; Signal Strength; USB 3.0

Nothing

We needed to replace our other router because it kept dropping the signal all the time so we took a chance and ordered this one. First: With this router, you can surf just as fast on an Android Phone as you can online with high-speed internet, in Wi-Fi mode!

My Archer C8 was Firmware Version: 3.16.27 Build 20140903 Rel. 75232, Hardware Version: Archer C8 v1 (US)

*received this router fully upgraded to latest US firmware revision and pretty much all was superb and easy to set up

-My only real grief is the white color and no wall mount :( but that is not even worth hacking off an egg for; since that's just cosmetics

Fantastic piece of kit. I now have wifi speeds up to 180mbs, I may even get faster speeds as I've only had it set up for a couple of hours. Before the best we could get was about 40mbs.

I've been using the provided modem/router combo that my ISP gave to me and its been great but the performance really starts to drop when a lot of devices are connected. I also had a lot of buffers when streaming on my android TV and to my chromecast.

Kudos to my local store for having this in stock. This router is not easy to find in any store, at least in my locale. While some folks say that the router is difficult to set up, I found this set up to go rather smoothly. There was no difficulty in getting the router to match my old configuration.

Fast

limited mounting options

Replaced a Storm damaged router, works well for me. No gaming or steaming, yet Good price for my needs, like the white color...

Just take a look at the price tag -- the Archer D7, an AC1750 router costs AU$169 in Australia. That's a $90 difference between that and its bigger brother, the Archer D9 . UK citizens don't get quite the same deal at £129 compared to £159, but it's still a substantial saving. The sacrifice

Despite the drop in price; the Archer D7 still performs at the 5GHz end of town; and has nearly all the features of the D9

Options and web UI design aren't as advanced as competitors; and 2.4GHz performance isn't great
