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 I will give the router the benefit of the doubt and maybe the printer driver was just too out of date.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.
