Reviews
  • Don't let the TP-Link Archer C2300's appearance fool you. It may look like a mild-mannered, run-of-the-mill home router, but it has the heart of an online tiger. Aimed at home networking, the C2300 rivals highfliers like the Linksys WRT 32X and Netgear Nighthawk XR500 in performance. The closest thing to a home-networking version of the stealth fighter, it's powerful, yet blends in with the backgr

†Maximum wireless signal rates are the physical rates derived from IEEE Standard 802.11 specifications. Actual wireless data throughput and wireless coverage are not guaranteed and will vary as a result of 1) environmental factors, including building materials, physical objects, and obstacles, 2) network conditions, including local interference, volume, and density of traffic, product location, network complexity, and network overhead, and 3) client limitations, including rated performance, location, connection, quality, and client condition.   

‡Use of MU-MIMO requires clients to also support MU-MIMO.
