Pros & Cons
Pros
The archer c1200 is a pretty capable wireless router. Have not had any complaints with the wifi router at all. Too bad tp-link is phasing this router out, i recommend it!
Most of our devices are wired with cat-6 or cat-7 cables in both areas of the house. The 5g band is much faster--noticeable when updating software on computers, pads, and phone. For high speed online gaming, my son has to sit with an unbroken direct l... Read More
This is perfect for a very average american family that has gamers, streamers, and internet surfers. Great speed. Like it. The rest is sit back and watch till done. A gamer is a gamer. A streamer is a streamer.
Cons
Then randomly keeps on shutting off and rebooting. Once it reboots, works fine again until the next random reboot. Until you reset it, and it works well for a few minutes again.
Bought this router in november 2017, worked fine for first 2 years. It's like, receive the router, add a box and send it back. Tp replaced it once already - with another lousy router.
Wifi continually drops now. Constantly throwing me offline. It drops signal on both 2.
Highlights
Quality
Easy to setup, still running after a year.
The signal strength is good enough and its easy enough to configure if you know what you're doing due to a fairly intuitive gui.
There was very minimal setup and it even notified me that there was a firmware upgrade, which i did, and it went without a hitch.
This router has outlasted 2 modems and has made the jump to 5g.
Price
For the price and longevity you can't go wrong!
Glad that the price has dropped over the years.
For the price this is a great product.

Looked online and saw that there was a firmware update well after i bought the unit, so my first thought before buying a new ph... Read More
Competitiveness
The interface is very user friendly and looks more modern that other brands.
Since this product, i have started buying other tp link products as well.
It supports a range of options, much more than the isp router, so i've never been in a situation where it couldn't do what i wanted.
I bought this to go in between my isp's router and my lan and because it can work with other wifi routers in bridged mode.
