Review: What A Difference A Few Years Make!!! New Budget King!!! - Pros: Price at 39.99 it just can't be beat! Decent Range - Tested at my house for ultimate delivery to a friends place which has far thicker walls and farther to go. Provided signal where the stock TimeWarner Arris unit could not. And easily provided all the bandwidth they were paying for. 30MB/s Down / 20MB/s Up. USB Network Storage port on the back works quickly and easily. With Windows 10, you can see the files on the flash drive with no problems at all. Simply click on your network in File Explorer and it will show up. It's slow to load files but works reliably! Easy Setup: Probably the most important thing is the setup. Super super easy. No disc to install apps, no complicated configuration instructions... basically you plug it in, power it up, follow the instructions for setup by going to the browser 192.168.0.1 and roll! Cons: Like most modern routers it can put out some heat from the bottom. So be sure to mount it accordingly. Runs off a single core processor so I was a little concerned about performance for a large family or a home with numerous devices. Testing: So, I was curious to see what kind of performance I'd get from compared to my beloved Buffalo AirStation Extreme AC1950 router. Two years ago the Buffalo was a 200 dollars monster sporting a dual core 1Ghz processor. Range was fantastic with its 3 high gain antennas. So to see the TP-Link speeds rival and sometimes beat my Buffalo around the house... impressive! So, I took 3 mobile devices (as thats what most people are on these days) and simply ran speed test from the most dense corner of my home on both 2.4 & 5.0 Ghz networks. The resulting numbers below are Download, Upload and signal strength. Buffalo 5Ghz @ 40ft w/ 5 Walls Downstairs Nexus 6P - 52.61 / 7.97 -79 HTC One M7 - 23.74 / 8.09 -75 Acer Iconia One Tablet - 33.34 / 7.48 -80 TP-Link Archer C50 5Ghz @ 40ft w/ 5 Walls Downstairs Nexus 6P - 56.87 / 8.04 - 78 HTC One M7 - 23.70 / 6.85 -75 Acer Iconia One Tablet - 28.98 / 8.23 - 79 Buffalo 2.4Ghz @ 40ft w/ 5 Walls Downstairs Nexus 6P - 40.12 / 7.83 - 65 HTC One M7 - 16.22 / 7.95 - 72 Acer Iconia One Tablet - 5.95 / 7.34 - 65 TP-Link Archer C50 2.4Ghz @ 40ft w/ 5 Walls Downstairs 6P - 26.38 / 7.86 - 65 M7 - 19.43 / 5.96 - 62 Acer - 50.88 / 7.54 - 55 So after seeing these scores I was really impressed. Signal strength in my 1600sq ft house was fine everywhere. So to see if there was any slowdowns when numerous devices started streaming. I fired up all 3 devices and threw in my MacBook Air to all access different videos on YouTube and to stream at 1080p. There wasn't a single hiccup between them! WOW!! Now, I can image that wouldn't be hard for most modern routers, but at 40 bucks I was expecting some compromises. Honestly... there are none. Oh..and on top of that.. i streamed music from my USB drive over the network from the router..while all 4 streams were running.... no problems at all. THIS ROUTER IS THE REAL DEAL!! Now, again.. I can't claim it to be a great Gaming Router or a great upgrade for a growing family. Parents, 2 kids.. and say 10+ devices in the house and all vying for internet access. It could struggle, or it could do just fine. But for now... with absolute confidence I can say that for modest network needs and you are on a budget / need an upgrade or replacement. You can't go wrong. This router is great.
Review: Works as intended for a great value and very easy to set up - Based on the reviews, I knew that this was a good router. However, I knew that this router was really good after I had a hard time setting up a different-branded router for a family member. I recently bought my first home, and having quality internet service, speed, and connection is critical to me. I sought to find the best router at the best value and came across this router. Whenever the tech from my internet service provider (ISP) came to get my internet and everything connected, he also took care of the router for me. He said that he had never seen or heard of this brand before, so I was a little wary of how well it would work since he sees different routers every day. After he set everything up on his end and left, I continued configuring the router through the router login. Everything went so smoothly and was very straightforward; basically, if you know how to set up a social media account or order something off of desertcart, you're more than capable of setting up this router down to the security settings. It is that simple. Recently, a family member asked for my assistance with setting up a router that they found in a Big Box, brick and mortar store. A sales associate pointed the family member to a different brand of router for $65.00 (dual-band, 802.11 a/b/g/n, 300 megabits per second). This router was such a headache to get set up and after spending a while trying to set up everything properly, it still wasn't set up as nicely as this TP-Link router. This router has been very reliable for me, and I think it's the best value for the price. I've had no issues with service so far, and I'm satisfied with my purchase.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can this be used as an access point instead of just a router?**
A: Yes - you can easily set up the Archer C50 as an Access Point by following the steps in our helpful guide here: https://www.tp-link.com/us/faq-1199.html

Regards,
TP-Link Support

**Q: Will this work with TimeWarner ?**
A: TP-Link does sell a "Cable Modem/Router" for use with a cable company.  This would save you the monthly fee from TimeWarner to rent their modem.  Check TP-Link's other products. -- the TP-LINK Archer CR700 AC1750 is one of them.

**Q: Is anyone having a problem connecting with kindle fire (hd6 & hd7, 2014)?  It shows connected, but says "device is offline"**
A: Tried two different AC1200 routers with two different 2015 kindle fires. The tablets will not maintain a connection. Tried everything imaginable. Using my old router just for the tablets and the AC1200 for everything else.

**Q: anyone know if i can use this with google fiber?**
A: Yes - you can simply connect your Internet source via Ethernet into the Archer C50's Internet port. However, if you have high speed Fiber Optic Internet, we would recommend a slightly more robust router, such as our Archer C7, ArcherC9, or Archer C2300 to more fully utilize the fast speeds provided by Google Fiber.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good router, good customer service
*by J***R on June 20, 2019*

I have bought 3 of these. I am not tech-saavy, and it is easy to connect. I have one at my primary home, and one at our country home. At the home in the country, we have satellite WIFI, and no cable subscription, and I run two internet TV's off of the 5G network, and use the 4G for WIFI. I have had my home router for nearly 3 years, with no issues. I bought a 2nd for our country home in December 2018, and it went on the fritz in April. Just wouldn't transmit a signal. Powered up fine, but lost connectivity. I called TP_link, and they have been great, and are shipping me out a new one under warranty so I will have it as a back-up, since I went ahead and bought a new one. Like I said, I am no techie, but they work fine for me, are easy to install, and you can't beat the price or customer service.
