I have a Archer C5400 router, and bought this C80 3 months back. (Needed another router for another house) House layout: 2-storey 2,000 sqft Number of connected devices: 15 - 20 This C80 is truly eye-opener. There is no significant difference to C5400 in speed, Wi-Fi coverage and stability.
I got 4 of those, yes i know that its expensive but i wanted to create a wifi mesh finally since the amount of 5ghz devices has raised in my house, i done a lot of research and for the price what i get is insane. I have reinforced concreet walls in my house and its arround 80 m^2 per floor (i have the ground and 1st floor) I ripped off all of the wires going everywhere arround the house, it became a nightmare. I also repainted the walls so they had to go out anyway, Then i disabled the wifi radio on the main ISP router and plugged one of these bois in to it directly and then everyting into it that needs a wire in the living room (iptv, smart tv), i applied all the netowork rules to it since it will be a main router. Then i put 2 arround the house where i was getting 4 lines of range, this made it so the whole house and the garden outside is 5 lines, and that is really good. The 4th one i gave to my neighbour, he lives in a house really close and i had the range extending setup before at his place but i taught i should upgrade him as well just so i rule out any incompatibilites (he lives with this wife and they are nearly poor, since i have 100/10 internet that is idle 99% of time i gave him my link), i also gave him my old computers (2x i3 6100s with an ssd and 8gb of ram) Using this config for the past 4 months, its much much better to have a proper mesh then having lots of diffrent SSIDs arround the house
I bought mine a couple of weeks ago but the wifi speeds on the 5ghz doesn't go above 866 whereas it is advertised as 1300 on 5ghz... My phone is Samsung Galaxy note 20ultra 5g. So is there any configuration or something that could get me these speeds.
The only real difference between the two is the A9 comes with a USB port and has a couple of other features that most people will never use. However, according to an article I read, the guy who wrote it said he got faster speeds from the C80. I'll see if I can find the article.

"The Archer A9 is another affordable offering from TP-Link, with a price tag of under $100. However, the A9 has a USB port and is compatible with Alexa and IFTTT-features the C80 lacks. I recently tested the A9 as well. The A9 offers more in the way of features, but I was able to get faster speeds and better coverage out of the C80. If you want a router that offers a more comprehensive experience, go with the A9. If you just want an affordable, speedy router that will maintain a signal at long range, you’ll probably be happy with the C80."
C80 has higher range and speed. Better speed at longer range too. 5ghz- 1201mbps(AX10) , 1300mbps(c80) 2.4ghz - 300mbps(AX10), 600mbps(c80) AX10 has wifi 6 (on paper wifi 6 technology allows 9gbps transfer rate). But the router only offers speed as mentioned above. In my opinion, if u are buying AX router, better get something that can utilise atleast half of the wifi 6 speed. Otherwise what's the point of buying a wifi 6 router that is slower than a wifi 5 router !
@@BELIEVEhasNOPLACE-WhreTRUTHis it was the best value for money product 11 months ago. Right now, I'm not so sure. There maybe newer/better router on the market now. Also, newer devices now a days has wifi 6 support, so that maybe something to consider as well - if you have or planning to have new devices.
How's this as a dedicated access point? I'm looking at this vs AC1750 Access Point, but if I can just use this router as an access point I would prefer this as it's cheaper by $20!
Hi there! Tp-link have made big strides with their newer routers, especially their software. Allowing most of the new routers to become an access point via a flick of a switch. Having higher bandwidth through-put is always better.
i bought two. just to use them as stupid access points. Wifi distance is always difficult to judge... in my parents house i get wifi signal in the basement an attic, no problem. in my house, it just does not go thru the concrete ceilings at all.
hey dude , I have my fiber optic wifi modem in a separate room connected to the primary computer via a Ethernet cable. i have my secondary computer in a different room, can i use this router to connect to my fiber optic modem wirelessly and have it then connected to my secondary PC? Also after that can I connect other devices wirelessly from this router?
There is no such thing as 200 Gigabit speeds as far as I know.

@Sachin Verlekar Don't use a Range Extender. Invest in a Mesh Point rather. Range Extenders merely bounce off your packets that results in lag and essentially cuts your throughput by half.

If you have a router now that is say 100Mpbs and your isp's speeds are above that then yes this router will improve your LAN speed, but that's also dependent on your network card as well. To make sure you are getting as fast as possible speed you can get on your LAN you need a gigabit network card and a router with gigabit speeds.

I'm currently searching routers for a long distance and good performance for a house which is big 1000 square meters. And for now, I am watching this router TP-LINK ARCHER C80 AC1900 and TP-LINK ARCHER C7 AC1750. And I am wondering which one is better for my expectations?

As it comes to the Archer C80.... do not bother even to buy this model.!!! It is the worse of all and very expensive. The capabilities of this router are not so good , actually are VERY BAD. First off all new firmware or not it has only 16 maximum entries for NAT port forwarding so be careful what you are looking for. Secondly it doesn't have an option like "enable" or "disable" for MAC address binding ..!!! Very very bad . It has ONLY whitelist with manual entry of MAC address and only for the whitelist , NOT for the Blacklist (the manual entry) which is VERY VERY BAD and unpractical for someone who wants to keep truck of the connected devices on your router and have the quick way of enable or disable them...VERY VERY BAD. Also it doesn't have a user name on login screen , only password which BAD for security...and many other awful things I do not like...what about your experience ???
Well I have already done this but some problems still exists...for example I gavr trouble connecting with my Samsung phone because I found out that my router has given the same ip address of my laptop...is this possible in the near future? Oh my god...everything is possible with this awfully router so, I activate and deactivate arp binding and my problem solved after I removed the wrong ip mac bind address...very very bad.
