There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I have purchased a number of routers over the years as the technology and performance improves, and the number of devices my family uses has increased. Over the past few years, I had migrated to the more expensive ($300+) routers in the hopes of greater performance. Right before this, I had an Asus RT-AC5300, a beast of a router that exceeded $400 when I bought it. But what I found was that as the price point goes up, the performance does not, and the reliability goes down. These expensive routers tend to be buggy and drop connections; they simply have too many features and are way too complex, all to provide functionalities that no one uses, or that none of your connected devices support anyway. The ASUS got so bad it was rebooting itself every few hours. The days of the rock-solid Linksys WRT54G seemed long gone... So I returned the ASUS RT-AC5300, gave my WRT1900ACS to a friend, and bought an Archer C7 (v2).
After two weeks of testing it, I have four words: it just works -- period. The signal is strong and punches through the lathe-and-plaster walls of my nearly 100 year old house. Its signal is considerably stronger than the WRT1900ACS that I had (which cost almost three times what this one did), and rivaled the signal strength of the $400 ASUS. It doesn't drop connections, doesn't reboot itself, and delivers a strong and steady stream of data to all devices, wired and wireless.
Only one word of warning; you need to make sure the Archer C7 that you purchase is NOT a first version. Everyone on the web has reported that TP-LINK badly botched the V1, especially for Macintosh/Apple devices (which is most of my house); most of those should be out of circulation or in landfills by now. The one I bought from Amazon was a V2, and it works perfectly with all of my Apple and non-Apple devices.
I have around 18 devices attached to it at any given time. Typically these are 3 Bose SoundTouch speakers (the 130 + two 10s + WiFi/Internet adapter), 2 to 3 laptops, 2 tablets (Android and Amazon Fire), a PS3, Xbox 360, a Panasonic smart Bluray player and Viera Smart TV, a high end PC, 3 smartphones (iPhone 6, Android and BlackBerry Z30), an Amazon Fire TV (with Amazon Prime, Hulu and Netflix subscriptions) and an Amazon Echo - it handles them all, and more, without a hiccup. When guests come over there are no hassles at all.
I have all of this running on a 32MBit unlimited internet link.
My first unit was replaced by Amazon hassle-free when it failed after 6 months even though it was outside the stated warranty period and they weren't under obligation to do so. (Amazon has always treated me right - which makes me a loyal customer.) It started to act erratically and required constant reboots, and would cause various networked devices in my household to act up, even to freeze. The new unit has been running for 2 or 3 months without a hitch, stable and reliable as you would want it to be, which led me to realise there were issues with the first one from the beginning, though I hadn't realised it. The 4 Gigabit Ethernet ports are a fantastic addition, I have it paired with an 8-port TP-Link Gigabit switch and performance is top notch.
Interestingly, at the local TP-Link office the staff use the Archer C7 as their office router. That says a lot right there, and they have 20+ devices attached to it. That said, TP-link service wasn't exactly falling over their feet to replace the unit for me or help me get it repaired when they learned I bought it on Amazon, though they did have have a tech check it and informed me that it was permanent failure and replacement was the only option. They told me to email the repair centre in China for help, and wished me good luck. Their service is a tad poor, as has been noted elsewhere in the reviews and comments.
I stream Deezer (discounted Bose offer), Pandora, Internet Radio services and YouTube, sometimes from 2 or 3 different devices at the same time - it's never been an issue.
The web interface is easy to use, and it's easy to do firmware updates. It was simple to set up, though I wish there was a VPN option. I would love to connect the Archer C7 to my VPN server as a client and then connect my mobile devices through it. This is the one feature I feel it is lacking. Other than that this is a great unit, with excellent performance.
The 5GHz signal does not reach as far or penetrate as well as the 2.4GHz signal - which is normal. Still, it's powerful and I have no issues in my apartment. despite the walls. I moved the 2.4GHz Channel to one that is unused by other WiFi routers in my vicinity (you can select 1- 14) and have a constant, steady signal.
Other reviews discuss other features and so on, but this is what I use it for with at minimum 18 devices and over 20 on occasion.
Should you buy it. Yes.
If it breaks, will Amazon replace it? Yes
Can it do what it says on the box? Yes, and then some.
** For those who may consider replacing the firmware with OpenWRT, the V2 firmware works perfectly with the replacement. The caveat, as I have learned is that performance (overall link speed, not range) may be affected. I would recommend the stock firmware for optimal performance. This affects the Gigabit Ethernet throughput as well as the WiFi from what I can gather.
I've just bought another TP-Link, the C20i AC750 as a Christmas gift for a friend who needs a replacement router. So despite my first router having hardware failure and the questionable service, I'll risk it. The Archer C7 experience has left me feeling positive about their products.

Sem perda de sinal e com muitas configurações profissionais.
Recomendo sem medo.

Tengo mi servicio de fibra óptica ya instalado y este router ha cumplido con mis expectativas. Anteriormente tenía ancho de banda de 20 megas y ahora con 150 megas maneja a la perfección el ancho de banda adicional sin ningún problema. No tengo problemas de buffering ni de desconexiones en los aparatos que utilizo a pesar de la carga de datos que cada dispositivo genera. En promedio tengo 15 aparatos conectados en todo momento y el router ha sido muy guerrero. El único punto que no mencioné en mi reseña original es lo tardado que es el router al reiniciarse. Parece que se traba pero es totalmente normal jeje.
Aclaro que este router NO acepta la linea de fibra óptica de forma directa. Para todo aquel que quiera utilizar este router y aprovechar su conexión de fibra óptica, es necesario conectar su modem original del proveedor de internet que tengan y conectarlo a este router por medio de un cable Ethernet de categoría 5E o superior. Yo lo tengo así y maneja los datos de manera más eficaz como lo comente previamente.
Sigo recomendando el router al 100% :)
***RESEÑA ORIGINAL***
Tengo servicio ADSL por parte de Telmex pero al recibir el aviso de que próximamente instalarán fibra óptica en mi área pensé en adquirir un router de media gama para irme preparando para el cambio y estoy bastante contento con el desempeño de este router hasta la fecha. He aquí mi opinión del producto; espero y le ayude de algo a alguien.
***CONDICIONES DE USO Y EXPECTATIVAS DEL PRODUCTO***
Compré este router por dos motivos: el primero para obviamente prepara mi red local al uso de la fibra óptica como servicio por parte de Telmex y para no tener que depender de los modems inferiores que te proporcionan. Este router lo tendré conectado al modem de Telmex para que se encargue del manejo de datos dentro de mi red local. El segundo motivo es para brindarle estabilidad a mi conexión actual al igual tenerlo conectado a mi modem ya que a menudo experimento mucho lag y buffering en juegos y Netflix/Youtube porque el modem que tengo de Telmex es bastante mediocre.
Quiero tomar la oportunidad de mencionar algo que mucha gente quizá no sepa; un router por más caro que sea NO te va a dar velocidades de internet más altas a las que ya tienes contratadas con tu proveedor de internet. Lo que SI hará es brindarle mayor estabilidad a los datos entrantes/salientes así como acceso a funciones más avanzadas que obviamente dependen del router. Si tienes un plan con 50 megas de ancho de banda no esperes ver 60 o 70 megas ni nada de eso. Lo que si puedes esperar es que cualquier router de calidad te maneje esos datos de forma más eficaz para evitar enbotellamientos en tu red.
***ENTORNO DE LA RED DE MI HOGAR***
No todos los routers son iguales, y aunque lo sean tu entorno también veces afectará el desempeño de cualquier router tomando en cuenta el tipo de material que sean tus muros, las distancias entre tus dispositivos y el router, interferencias electrónicas, posicionamiento del router,obstáculos que pudieran atenuar la señal de tu router, el tipo de cableado que utilices entre otras cosas más.
Les comparto un resumen del entorno de la red de mi hogar para darle contexto a los resultados que me ha brindado este router y lo usen como punto de referencia.
El posicionamiento de mi router en realidad no es el óptimo; se encuentra en la parte baja de una repisa junto a mi modem de Telmex, al lado de mi PS4 Pro y a un metro de mi Televisión. Lo tengo ahí simplemente porque no he fabricado cables más largos para ponerlo en un lugar más alto y un poco más alejado de toda la interferencia electrónica que generen el resto de mis dispositivos. Esto afecta un poquito el rendimiento de la conexión de WiFi pero nada que digamos muy significativo.
El cableado que utilizo en su mayoría es de tipo CAT6 para las conexiones alámbricas. En mi caso solo es a mi TV, a mi PS4 Pro y a un router secundario que tengo en mi cuarto que sirve para tener mayor cobertura en mi hogar.
Los dispositivos que se conectan a mi router de manera inalámbrica por lo general se usan sin muros ni obstáculos que puedan atenuar la señal. Los únicos dos dispositivos que están obstruidos por muros son dos teles. Los muros por los que tiene que atravesar la señal miden 20 centimetros de grueso y es de puro ladrillo.
En mi red tendré conectados al menos 15 dispositivos al mismo tiempo. Entre ellos se encuentran echo dots de Alexa, laptops, mi iPad, consolas de videojuegos, celulares y smart TVs.
***DESEMPEÑO Y FUNCIONES DEL ROUTER***
Lo que más me gusta del router es que maneja los datos de manera muy eficaz. Muy pocas veces me topo con lag o buffering en juegos o al hacer streaming y cuando sucede se debe a las limitaciones del ancho de banda con el que cuento (20 megas de bajada y 2 de subida) por parte de Telmex. Al transferir archivos en mi red local, ya sean fotos o peliculas en 4K de mi laptop a mi TV todo es instantaneo. He tenido hasta 26 dispositivos conectados al router sin algún problema. El router tiene la función de QoS donde le puedes asignar prioridad a que dispositivos pueden gozar de acceso primario al ancho de banda en tu red. En mi caso yo le dí prioridad a mi PS4 Pro y a mi laptop de trabajo. Cuando juego en la play en linea pues se le da prioridad sobre otros dispositivos conectados. Lo mismo que a mi laptop al realizar videollamadas o bajar/subir archivos.
Puedes programar las horas en las que esta activo el WiFi para todo aquel padre o madre que le quiera limitar el acceso a internet a la familia jeje.
Configurar el router fue bastante sencillo, todo lo puedes hacer por medio del app de TP Link "Tether" que también utilizo para gestionar mi otro router de TP link, el Archer c50.
Ahí le puedes cambiar la contraseña, activar red para huespedes, ver el consumo de ancho de banda de cada dispositivo y obvio ver que dispositivos están conectados.
En cuanto al ancho de banda que te proporciona el router en la red local dependerá mucho del dispositivo que utilices. En mi caso con mi celular Redmi Note 8 llego a tener velocidades de transferencia de hasta 433 mps en la banda de 5ghz y 144 en la de 2.4ghz. Esto se debe a las limitaciones del hardware de mi celular. Para medir estas velocidades utilicé una aplicación llamada "WiFi analyzer" que también será útil para poder posicionar tu router en su lugar más óptimo.
En si para uso doméstico es excelente y no le hace falta nada. El alcance de la señal también ha resultado de maravilla. Con mi cel o iPad estando con dos muros como obstáculo sigo recibiendo una señal estable aunque con velocidades de transferencia reducidas. Esto es algo que con el modem de Telmex simplemente no se puede hacer.
Menciono que también se puede enlazar el router con Alexa pero fuera de prender el WiFi y decirle a Alexa que le de prioridad a X dispositivo en cuanto a su consumo de ancho de banda de internet no tiene muchas funciones que digamos son de gran utilidad.
Estoy contento con el router. Para el uso en casa que le doy es más que suficiente. A menos que seas un usuario que tenga más de 50 dispositivos que estarán conectados al router será necesario otro router de mayor precio.
Lo recomiendo al 100 :)

Tengo mi servicio de fibra óptica ya instalado y este router ha cumplido con mis expectativas. Anteriormente tenía ancho de banda de 20 megas y ahora con 150 megas maneja a la perfección el ancho de banda adicional sin ningún problema. No tengo problemas de buffering ni de desconexiones en los aparatos que utilizo a pesar de la carga de datos que cada dispositivo genera. En promedio tengo 15 aparatos conectados en todo momento y el router ha sido muy guerrero. El único punto que no mencioné en mi reseña original es lo tardado que es el router al reiniciarse.
