TP-Link Archer C80 Wi-Fi 5 router AC1900, 3 × 3 MIMO, 4 × 1G LAN

TP-Link Archer C80 is a dual-band Wi-Fi 5 router with combined speeds up to 1900 Mbit/s. 3 × 3 MIMO, MU-MIMO and four external antennas give steady coverage across a flat, while five gigabit ports take care of wired devices.

  • Wi-Fi: Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac Wave2), up to 1900 Mbit/s combined, up to 1300 Mbit/s on 5 GHz
  • Bands: 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz, Smart Connect
  • Ports: 1 × gigabit WAN + 4 × gigabit LAN (RJ-45)
  • Antennas: 4 fixed external antennas, 3 × 3 MIMO, MU-MIMO, beamforming
  • Management: web interface and Tether app, parental controls, guest network, SPI firewall
  • Other: 12 V adapter included, power switch, wall mountable, black

Description

Three streams for a faster link

3 × 3 MIMO means the router sends and receives data on three streams at once; three-stream devices, such as some Mac computers, benefit the most. Smart Connect moves each device to the less busy band, and Airtime Fairness stops older devices from slowing the whole network down.

Who this router is for

Flats or smaller houses with many Wi-Fi 5 devices that need a dependable router without extras. Also families who want to set time limits for the children and give guests a separate network.
