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.

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!

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.

    Key point is to exract their firmware download on your computer to a compressed fle and then be able to browse it from your computer while on their support site
