WARNING!
All LAN & WAN ports have a speed of up to 100 Mbps and not 1 Gbps as one would expect from a router that supports up to 867 Mbps wireless connection...
Owner of 2 Archer C50 v.6 for over 1 year, in two different houses. Both connected to the same Speedport Plus from OTE, on FTTH (fiber-to-the-home) line. One with 1m Ethernet cat5 cable included in the package, the other with a 50m cat5e cable and a channel for sun protection, two floors below.
I'm not an expert in networking, but from what little I know, this is a very commendable product for the average user!
The coverage is so-so, don't expect the signal to reach 20 meters away through walls, closed doors, etc. Think of it as an upgrade from what OTE offers, for a few meters of additional coverage, at best it can reach another room just enough to use Messenger.
For example, from a situation where someone couldn't get any WiFi signal in the bathroom because there were kitchen and a bedroom in between (2-3 walls), now they can get just 1-2 bars to send a message or listen to a voice message on Viber. If someone tries to watch a video on YouTube in the above example, they will definitely have to wait 5-10 seconds for it to load. It doesn't perform miracles, it does what a decent router of 20-25 euros would do.
The mobile application is very nice and convenient, but above all, it comes with a comprehensive management interface (192.168.0.1 port for TP-Link).

It's great, easy setup, router, repeater, access point, it does it all and it's cost-effective, its antennas are quite powerful, I noticed a difference compared to the previous tp-link c20
If you want to connect it with Facebook wifi, the name of the store should not have Greek characters inside... And it doesn't throw any error if you try to connect it like that, it says it connected and then nothing works. Only after I changed the name and removed the Greek characters (from the name of the store's page) it worked. After the 5-hour struggle to connect it, everything is fine. It has been working without any problems or crashes for a month now.
I have a Wind modem router which has weak signal at 8 meters with 2 walls, so I bought this one for better performance. The result was that the signal was exactly the same, but it had interruptions, so I ended up getting rid of it.
I have bought 2 of these, the first one 8 months ago and the other one 2 months ago.
It works fine on ZTE H267N vdsl 100Mbps. It does its job perfectly.
I have version V4 with the latest firmware update.
I bought it to connect it with the Cosmote speedport plus (bridging). The result was disappointing. The speedport plus had a much better Wi-Fi signal in the remote rooms of the house. Also, I didn't like the fact that it doesn't support dual band steering, which means that if you enable both Wi-Fi bands and the guest SSID, you have to manage 4 different SSIDs. I do not recommend it, for a little more money there are much better options (and in black color) !!!
You easily connect it to your modem and play on two frequency channels for fun. Easy installation and operation through the app afterwards, excellent and stable signal.
It is the best, worth every penny, very good quality with its packaging, ethernet cable, power adapter, and user guides. I noticed a slight improvement in speed on my line. I have 50 mbps from Cosmote and when I do a speed test, it gives me 46 and 47 instead of the 44 and 45 that I was getting with the Cosmote modem/router. However, I saw that my connection is more stable without any interruptions and faster. It is the best router I have seen for 38 euros (also, it is not a modem router, it is only a router and you need to have your provider's modem/router to connect it, I mention this because some people might get confused). Get it with your eyes closed. Best value for money!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If it had the ability to activate VPN, it would be perfect.
** WARNING **
Another Router is needed to connect !!!!
Continuous operation simultaneously with effective access control to 2.4G, 5G.
Provision for guests (When they exist) COVID-19
The "drug" of our days is called WiFi
Excellent router. Very good range especially on the 5 GHz band and of course I upgraded my space with stable performance especially due to 5 GHz. I recommend it!
It does not connect directly to the phone line, it only has an Ethernet cable input! It requires another device for a modem. I will return it. It's a shame because its wifi is perfect for streaming 4k simultaneously with downloads.
***
After 2-3 hours of use, I changed my mind and will keep it. Its wifi is amazing, as well as its internet management for high demands. The interface offers countless options, including the ability to automatically turn off the wifi at specific times (e.g. at night).
I download at 1.6Mbps (maximum due to my 24-hour ADSL connection) and simultaneously stream in 4k without any delay or drop in image quality, all with wifi in another room from the router.
I will keep it and only use the old one for the modem. I can also manage the old router through the new one because they are connected!
Tremendous value for money! I did not expect such improvement with the 35 euros it cost me in total.
*** I upgraded my connection to VDSL 50 and it continues to handle the bandwidth incredibly! I recommend it to everyone
When 2-3 devices were connected to the wifi, the transmission rate dropped dramatically to 20-30 KB/s, I couldn't even connect to other devices on the local network (I know about networks). I have tried EVERYTHING, in the end, they replaced it for me at the store due to warranty and the 2nd one they gave me has exactly the same issues. This time I will ask them to give me a different router
For the price and quality, it is a very decent router and additionally supports Facebook WiFi for businesses that have a Facebook page. Unfortunately, as a Guest, it only accepts 32 clients, but that's a minor issue if you have a small shop
Absolutely satisfied with the product. Very good signal range at 2.4 GHz and quite fast at 5.0 GHz (with a smaller range, of course, as obstacles have a negative impact on this frequency). The build quality (plastic) is not the best, but in terms of design, the result is quite beautiful. Very easy to set up and the Tether app for Android and iOS is particularly convenient. I recommend it without hesitation.
