The Router Ranker shows the Archer C7 tied in second place with the ASUS RT-AC66U . Not bad for TP-LINK's (and QCA's) first effort in an AC1750 class router. The C7's weakest points are its 2.4 GHz downlink throughput and range.

Two things have recently been bugging me about my TP-Link TD-W8960N Wireless ADSL2+ modem router. It was only Wireless-N and single band (2.4Ghz). Up until recently, this was fine and I never really needed anything faster or dual band.

In a world of hopeless model numbers, the TP-Link Archer C7 AC1750 is at least a breath of fresh air. It's a delight to have the friendly sounding Archer C7 appear on your list of network devices, while inside its ultra-gloss black chassis is some serious networking hardware.

I purchased on on black friday and product is high quality. I'm not technical and this was very easy to set-up, it really is plug and play, not like the others who claim to be. Password is a stick on the unit itself, so I never had to read the instructions.

Have had this unit up and running for about 3 months. I was having problems with the V Super hub poor wireless signal and having to reboot all the time. Even the replacement was no better. I have the super hub set in modem mode and the wireless has improved after connecting the C7.

This routers speed is over the top. I can stream audio to my receiver flawlessly or stream movies to my blu-ray player with no buffering at HD level quality. Their technical assistance was outstanding in helping me get this configured.

The TP-Link AC1750 Archer C7 wireless router performed admirably throughout our tests, with its six antennae (three internal, three external) proving ideal for gamers and people streaming video.
