Customer Ratings & Reviews

I installed the Archer C2600 in our sister office which has two computers, a server and a network all-in-one printer. They just got broadband hooked up but the installation only included the modem. We had to supply our own router. The Archer C2600 was perfect since it is a dual router offering both wired and wireless connectivity. Installation was extremely easy. Just follow the illustrated sheet. It is sleek and stylish looking with 4 very large antennas. I really like how the LED lights are barely visible. You can even turn them off in the settings menu. The router's interface setting menu is easy to use. It has great features such as parental controls, QoS (prioritizing devices), guest account just to name a few. The router has two USB ports. I attempted to setup a network printer but a heck of a time. The printer showed up on the router device map but even after downloading the TP-Link USB Printer Controller Utility it still would not print. I than attempted to make the printer a local printer again and it would not work. I finally figured out I had to uninstall the USB Printer Control Utility program then everything went back to normal. The printer I was trying to install was an HP 4050N, so it was an antique. I will give the router the benefit of the doubt and maybe the printer driver was just too out of date. You can see in the attached pictures the printer was recognized. The Archer C2600 has superior signal strength. Pretty much throughout the open layout office all mobile devices had full bars. I also had to buy a switch to add more Ethernet cables and there was or lag or decrease in speed. If you are looking for an easy to connect dual router that offers great signal strength, awesome connectivity and able to take on the mass amount of wireless devices - the TP-Link Archer C2600 is for you.

Installed immediately as it arrived and very happy with its performance. Both mobile devices get 125Mbps downloading speed which is maximum bandwidth of cable, wifi signal covers every corner of house. No latency. totally worth it!

This TP Link has all the signal strength I needed, setup was basically plug in and go, and is reliable and quick. Perfect for home use with our laptop, cell phone and tablet!

Definitely a major upgrade from our old N600 router. She is fast, and my desktop gets the exact same wireless upload/download speeds as it does on the hard-wire ethernet cord. Great distance as well; I can surf and stream anywhere in my house and even out on my lawn. Watching football while gardening- this is my new reality.

Considering the price you're paying for the speed you're getting, this is the best value I could find. This delivers great speed and easy enough set-up with controls to help you do what you're looking to accomplish.

This was a huge upgrade for me. I have separate dedicated channels for my Xbox, computer, and phone. I get much faster speeds. I love how easy it was to setup using an app!

This product is fantastic. Easy to set up and long range. Took my wifi speed from 40 to 250.

Very satisfied with this product! Dual band works great! Easy to setup.

Great speed. Rarely drops coverage at all. Highly recommend

Very easy to set up. Have several devices running in my home. This router handles all without loss of signal. Only downside like most digital devices, signal does not penetrate concrete block walls very well.

It is very easy to set up they explained the setup to be very easy for anybody to be able too do it and you can see the difference in speed

Set up is very easy and fast. Have had it for a few months and has worked great. Buy and try is what I say. You won't be sorry! Trust me.

Superior range signal. 2 bands. Very fast. Satisfied with this product.

5 devices going at once and no lag or buffering,best router I've ever had!

Great dual channel wireless router. Works great. Easy to install. Lots of functionality but I may not be able to use them.

This cable modem supports DOCSIS. Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification (DOCSIS is an international telecommunications standard that permits the addition of high-bandwidth data transfer to an existing cable TV (CATV) system. It is employed by many cable television operators to provide Internet access (see cable Internet) over their existinghybrid fiber-coaxial (HFC) infrastructure. The various standards are sometimes abbreviated to Dx, as in a "D3 modem" (DOCSIS 3 modem). I tried this modem with XFINITY from Comcast. It has six internal antennas and high-powered amplifiers boost signal strength and reduce interference. Dual USB ports support access files & media from networked devices. Speedtest revealed 60 Mbps with my tiered plan. The main advantage of using a own router is we can get out of monthly rental costs which can add up heavily. I was able to stream movies wirelessly with Roku box. Very easy to setup, this came with an Ethernet cable and a manual. It is a no brainer to connect and use it,

This is a review of a free product received by TP-LINK as part of the review program. Living in a neighborhood swamped with WiFi networks, I needed a router that was powerful enough to cut through the interference. A router that was strong enough to eliminate dead spots. A router that could deliver reliable performance to a myriad of connencted devices. All without compromising speed. The Archer C2600 more than met all those needs! It's multiple antennas provide excellent coverage, even out to my backyard! (A problem I've had in the past) I can start watching a YouTube video in my room, walk through my house & out to the backyard without so much as a stutter in the playback! Using my Xbox One for online gaming is smooth as butter & given the download size of today's games, it's very much appreciated! I'm also able to stream 4K content using my Vizio UHD Smart TV, without issue. It's nice to not have fight for bandwidth with streaming & gaming hogs...not mentioning any names...family!

Respond time was very fast. Just the signal range wasn't as good as I hoped.

Bought this router to cover entire over 1400 sq ft house plus small cottage approximately 50 ft behind house. Works fine in main house but has dead spots in cottage. Guess digital signal doesn't penetrate concrete block very well. Otherwise it's a great router.

At first the 2.5Gz signal kept dropping. I called customer support and they were very helpful. They guided me through the firmware update and the router has been working great since.
