TP-LINK Archer C1200
WAN:Ethernet
Connection:LAN 4 ports, 1 Gbps
Wi-Fi:Wi-Fi 5 (AC)
2.4 GHz:300 Mbps
5 GHz:867 Mbps
Antennas and signal:23 dBm, 3 antenna(s), non-removable

A high-performance wireless router that can provide simultaneous operation in dual bands — 2.4 and 5 GHz. This model belongs to the mid-price category and is designed for use at home or in small offices. Thanks to a modern hardware platform, it fully supports the Wi-Fi 802.11ac standard, and the presence of full-duplex antennas makes it possible to maintain stable data transmission speeds of up to 867 Mbps.

The wireless network coverage radius will delight demanding users, and the configuration of the antennas ensures its approximate uniformity in all directions. The use of the 5 GHz band is especially useful when operating the TP-LINK Archer C1200 router in the crowded airspace of apartment buildings, where classic 2.4 GHz routers located in nearby apartments create mutual interference, leading to an overall performance drop.

This model is also equipped with four cable LAN Gigabit Ethernet 1000BASE-TX ports (10/100/1000 Mbps) and one similar incoming WAN port with support for static and dynamic addressing protocols (DHCP), PPPoE, IPsec, L2TP, PPTP. It provides reliable encryption of wireless network traffic and the ability to filter connected devices by MAC address. The device can be managed through a web interface or a special free application for Android and iOS.

Model overview based on user reviews  
The TP-LINK Archer C1200 router offers a dual-band connection with a 5 GHz network, which is appreciated by users, although some feel it should be standard at its price point. While the router provides a reasonable price and a 5 GHz channel that delivers around 95 Mbps, users have noted several drawbacks. The hardware is considered weak, with very weak antennas that significantly reduce signal strength through walls. Additionally, the firmware is underdeveloped, leading to occasional inconvenient reboots. The router also has a long loading time of about three minutes. Despite these issues, some users find it satisfactory for regular use, but it may not be suitable for gaming or environments with multiple walls. Overall, while it performs adequately for basic needs, the router's limitations in signal strength and stability may be a concern for some users.
Pros

Cons

Not recommended.

Been using it for two years - disappointed, not suitable for gaming as it can randomly reboot at any moment. Very weak antennas, can lose signal completely after just two walls. Initially, firmware updates were coming, but nothing improved for the better.
Availability of a 5 GHz network. (Though at this price, it should already be standard)
Loads slowly, weak hardware, very weak antennas (the signal drops by half through one wall), the firmware is underdeveloped (restarts itself a couple of times a week at inconvenient moments). Overpriced.
use TP-LINK Archer C1200 month or more i recommend it don't buy
good model, like it

Regular router. It earns its price. A 5 GHz channel gives ~95 Mbit over the air with 100 possible from the provider.
Normal price.
They write that the firmware is damp.

good model, I liked it.

I liked the model, I’ve been using it for a year now... there seem to be no breaks, if there were, these are isolated cases... the only thing is that it takes a long time to load, about three minutes
