  • Amazing Wi-Fi Performance: TP-Link Archer C80 Review
    TP-Link Archer C80 is a great affordable wireless router that performs beyond expectation. It is a a good upgrade to improve your WiFi coverage and stability especially if you still using the default wireless router provider by your service provider. It is stable and pretty fast which seals the deal for a budget router like this.

    As it turned out, even buying a previous generation router, you can still get good speed performance and a good set of features, including Mesh support. The TP-Link Archer C80 is a very good option for buying.

†Maximum wireless signal rates are the physical rates derived from IEEE Standard 802.11 specifications. Actual wireless data throughput and wireless coverage are not guaranteed and will vary as a result of 1) environmental factors, including building materials, physical objects, and obstacles, 2) network conditions, including local interference, volume and density of traffic, product location, network complexity, and network overhead, and 3) client limitations, including rated performance, location, connection, quality, and client condition. 

‡Use of MU-MIMO requires clients to also support MU-MIMO.
