TP-Link Archer C80 AC1900 Wireless MU-MIMO Wi-Fi Dual Band Router

The Archer C80 comes with Wireless AC1900 and it can support a maximum WiFi speed up to 1300Mbps on 5 GHz channel and 600Mbps on 2.4 GHz channel. It supports Wireless AC MU-MIMO and Beamforming feature for a better WiFi performance.
MU-MIMO technology will let it to have better performance when having more devices connected to your wireless router. It allows the router to achieve Multi User, Multiple Input Multiple Output
TP-Link also added beamforming function to the Archer C80. This will provide a stronger WiFi signal for your device by carefully adjusting the antenna power to steer the signal towards your WiFi clients’ simultaneous connection which will result in better speed.
It has 4 Gigabit Ethernet LAN ports and a single Gigabit Ethernet WAN port that can support up to 1Gbps on this port. This is a really important factor to consider when shopping for an affordable router. Some routers can only support up to 100Mbps.
There are 4 non-removable high gain external antennas. With the 2 holes under the router it is possible to wall mount or ceiling mount this wireless router.
