Slow internet sucks
it s overkill in most homes
file-transfer speeds were middling
console is slow to respond and lacks user-friendly icons
More Clunky user interface
wireless disconnects
slow throughput and 5 Ghz band
The USB ports is not just for show
where beamforming and MU-MIMO support is not typical
Having Gigabit ports does not mean the router can support up to 1000Mbps over Ethernet
TP-Link cloud devices will appear once logged in to your TP-Link ID
uninspiring performance for its lackluster range
the lack of both MU-MIMO and Beamforming
No cherry-picked units sent by manufacturers

This router cannot be remotely reset
It lacks the graphical elements found on newer TP-Link routers
the glossy plastic tends to show fingerprints
throughput band drops only by 8 percent
slow device on an older router

0 port which has questionable advantage on a router

the one light to accommodate the four gigabit Ethernet ports
it is not wall mountable
lack the ability to reduce the signal strength of the wireless transmission or the ability
It takes users a few minutes to update the firmware manually
neither a switch nor software selection to turn off the router's light show

pricier routers often have USB 3
no replacement for a cable
There is also no support for beamforming

The TP-Link Archer C7 AC1750 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit Router (V2) delivers the fastest throughput speeds we've seen from a sub-$100 router. It's also a breeze to install and offers plenty of settings.

It may not have the fastest 2.4GHz speeds, but the price is a winner

The Archer D7 may not have the 2.4GHz performance of its competitors, but the price should get your attention.
