Archer C50

End of Life

AC1200 Wireless Dual Band Router

  • Supports 802.11ac standard - the next generation of Wi-Fi
  • Simultaneous 2.4GHz 300Mbps and 5GHz 867Mbps connections for 1.2Gbps of total available bandwidth
  • 4 external antennas provide stable wireless connections and optimal coverage
  • Easy network management at your fingertips with TP-Link Tether

Fast Wireless Speed with 802.11ac

TP-Link’s Archer C50 comes with the next generation Wi-Fi standard – 802.11ac, 3 times faster than wireless N speeds and delivering a combined wireless data transfer rate of up to 1.2Gbps. With 300Mbps over the 2.4GHz band and 867Mbps wireless speeds over the crystal clear 5GHz band, the Archer C50 is the superior choice for seamless HD streaming, online gaming and other bandwidth-intensive tasks.

1.2Gbps Dual Band Connections for Lag-Free Work and Entertainment

The Archer C50 operates over both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands, ensuring amazing wireless performance. Simultaneous Dual Band offers you the flexibility of two dedicated networks – with multiple times the bandwidth for your needs. Simple tasks like sending e-mails or web browsing can be handled by the 2.4GHz band while bandwidth intensive tasks like online gaming or HD video streaming can be processed by the 5GHz band – all at the same time.

Innovative Antenna Design for Maximum Coverage

Four antennas make all of your connections more efficient and stable. PA amplifies Wi-Fi power and LNA increases the receiving sensitivity to enlarge Wi-Fi coverage for your home.

  • Guest Network

    Guest Network Access provides secure Wi-Fi access for guests sharing your home or office network.

  • Parental Control

    Parental Control allows parents or administrators to establish restricted access policies for children or staff.

  • IPv6 Supported

    Archer C50 supports IPv6, the next generation of Internet protocol, helping you to future proof your network.

  • Tether APP

    TP-Link Tether provides the easiest way to access and manage your router with your iOS and Android devices.
