TP-LINK Archer C20 V5

Low-cost dual-band wireless router with three fixed antennas and four RJ-45 Fast Ethernet ports. It is positioned as one of the most affordable TP-Link devices with DualBand support, i.e. with simultaneous operation in two frequency ranges. Using the 5 GHz band solves a common problem in apartment buildings, which is noisy air and low data transfer rates on the traditional 2.4 GHz frequency.

The MediaTek MT7620A ARM processor is responsible for processing and encrypting traffic, and the MT7610E chip provides work in wireless networks of the IEEE 802.11ac / n / ac (5 GHz) and IEEE 802.11b / g / n (2.4 GHz) standards. Three fixed antennas are used to form a stable Wi-Fi coverage. Thanks to this equipment, the TP-LINK Archer C20 v4 wireless router is capable of speeds up to 433 Mbps (5 GHz) and 300 Mbps (2.4 GHz).

Four cable LAN ports and one WAN provide stable throughput of 100 Mbps. All necessary security protocols and strong traffic encryption are supported. There are Firewall, NAT and DHCP server functions. The router is able to function in bridge mode and passes VPN traffic (PPTP, L2TP, IPSec) without problems. It is possible to create two wireless guest networks (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz). The initial setup of the device is simple and can be done from a smartphone with the Tether app.
