With 867Mbps wireless speeds over the crystal clear 5GHz band and 450Mbps over the 2.4GHz band, the Archer C5 is the superior choice for seamless HD streaming, online gaming, and other bandwidth-intensive tasks.
The Archer C5 works on both the 2.4GHz band and the 5GHz band, which means it has great wireless performance.
Simultaneous Dual Band offers you the flexibility of two dedicated networks—with multiple times the bandwidth for your needs.
Simple tasks like sending e-mails or web browsing can be handled by the 2.4GHz band, while bandwidth-intensive tasks like online gaming or HD video streaming can be processed by the 5GHz band – all at the same time.
With 2 external 5dBi antennas serving the 5GHz band and 3 internal antennas serving the 2.4GHz band, combined with higher quality antenna technology, you can maintain high speeds across greater distances.
This gives you great wireless coverage and reliability no matter where you are in a big home or office.
With one gigabit WAN port and four gigabit LAN ports, speeds can be up to 10 times faster than fast Ethernet connections.
The Archer C5 is a powerful hub that can help a wired network that is strong and very fast.
With the two multi-functional USB 2.0 ports, you can share printers, files, and media with different devices through your local network or via FTP server while away from home.
TP-LINK's Tether App provides the easiest way to access, manage, and share your router's resources with your iOS and Android devices.
From setup, to parental control, to media sharing, Tether provides a simple, intuitive user interface to see what the status of your router is, who's online and what their privileges are.
Guest Network Access gives guests who use your home or office network secure Wi-Fi access.
The optimized configuration utility from TP-LINK is on the resource CD and can help users set up their software and wireless networks in just a few minutes.
Archer C5 works with IPv6, which is a key part of the next generation of the Internet and makes it possible for a lot of new services and better user experiences.
