Personally, for my home needs - connecting 3 phones on a 2.4 GHz frequency, a laptop on 5 GHz, and a PC via cable - it's more than enough! No drops noticed while all devices were working simultaneously. Functionality and quality of work, price/performance ratio, ease of setup, and the appearance is pretty cool too. Not found. |
The router is a fire, I bought it for an apartment of 50 sq.m., after 2 load-bearing walls of 40 cm each, it breaks through 3-4 pieces (the old TR-Link could not cope), it was easier to fix it - having turned it in and may practice it, but you still don’t have Will, so Voli will have to dance with a tambourine ... At the special office, Volya needs to enter a new Mac address, but not the one on the nipci, but it is registered in the menu of the WAN router. If you enter it incorrectly, you will be embarrassed by a check to get it, so that you are allowed to make a change ... I can’t get tired of the router - the menu is set in Ukrainian and Russian languages, the ability to create a guest entrance at the Wi-Fi and Batkiv control. To help, a button was attached to drop down to the factory settings - 3 seconds and the power was off ... Attached to the wall. Ukrainian menu improved, menu reset, Batkiv control, Wi-Fi 5Hz So far, everything is in power, the cream of my provider  Lіlіya Fedorchuk: use TP-LINK Archer A6 less than month |
Great router I have been using the router for over a year. The firmware has never been updated. no need. It works stably, even taking into account the increased load on the network due to quarantine. Holds 2 networks at once: at 2.4 and at 5 GHz. Hidden in the closet behind piles of clothes, but this does not affect the work. The area of the apartment is 70 m2, connected for 2.4 4 users, for 5 - three users. as for me - everything is OK Vitaliy: use TP-LINK Archer A6 more than year |

Golden mean
The TP-LINK Archer A6 is a stylish and functional mid-range dual-band router that is AC1350 class, which means that the theoretical data rate threshold is 1.3Gbps (1317Mbps to be precise). So, in the 2.4 GHz band it is 450 Mbps, and in the 5 GHz band it is 867 Mbps. With a wired connection, you should count on 1 Gbps. Considering the price of $60, the Archer A6 has a very advanced functionality. This is manifested in the support of MU-MIMO technology with the Beamforming function, which ensures the simultaneous transmission of data to multiple connected devices and optimizes wireless coverage based on the location of clients.
Simple and clear connection
The model is configured and managed through a web interface or using a convenient and functional TP-Link Tether mobile application. Initially, you are prompted to choose one of several configuration options — from simple, turn it on and go, to more sophisticated, focused on advanced users. If the most advanced third level is not enough, then you can dive into the abyss of web interface settings. Also, using the application, you can control incoming and outgoing traffic on the network, view the list of connected devices, block unwanted connections, set parental control, remotely update the firmware and reboot the router.
Appearance is not the main thing, but it is also important
Stylish design enhances the pleasant impression of the model: TP-Link Archer A6 is made of glossy plastic on top with a relief pattern and a slight curve of the entire panel. There are no sharp corners. It all looks good, but fingerprints on the gloss will remain, and over time everything will just be covered with dust. However, no one canceled the cleaning in the apartment. Otherwise, this is a high-quality and affordable model that will provide stable high-speed coverage in an apartment, house or small office. At least during the tests, we did not encounter problems such as drops in speed or jumps in the level of the wireless signal.
