802.11ac – The Next Generation of Wi-Fi
TP-LINK’s Archer C2 comes with the next generation Wi-Fi standard – 802.11ac, backward compatible with 802.11n and 3 times faster than wireless N speeds. With higher power efficiency and robust security, 802.11ac is the perfect way to accelerate a home multimedia network and solve congestion that multiple devices may cause.
733Mbps Dual Band Connections for Lag-Free Work and Entertainment
With 433Mbps wireless speeds over the crystal clear 5GHz band and 300Mbps over the 2.4GHz band, Archer C2 offers you the flexibility of two dedicated networks and ensures amazing wireless performance. Simple tasks such as sending e-mails or web browsing can be handled by the 2.4GHz band while bandwidth intensive tasks like online gaming or HD video streaming can be processed by the 5GHz band – all at the same time.
Stable Omnidirectional Signal and Superior Coverage
With 2 detachable external antennas combined with higher quality antenna technology, you can experience excellent wireless performance with stable signal in every direction and high speed across greater distances. This provides you with incredible wireless coverage and reliability from anywhere in your large home or office.
Full Gigabit Wired Connections for Ultrafast Data Transfer Speeds
With one gigabit WAN port and four gigabit LAN ports, speeds can be up to 10× faster than fast Ethernet connections. The Archer C2 is a powerful hub to support a robust and extremely fast wired network.
Easy USB Storage and Sharing
With the USB port, you can share a printer locally and files & media with networked devices or remotely via FTP server.
Guest Network
Guest Network Access provides secure Wi-Fi access for guests sharing your home or office network in a controlled manner without needing to expose private Wi-Fi access codes or other personal data.
Parental Control
Parental Control allows parents or administrators to establish restricted access policies for children or staff.
Easy Setup
Included in the resource CD, TP-LINK’s optimized configuration utility can help users complete the entire software installation and wireless network settings in just a few minutes.
IPv6 Supported
Archer C2 supports IPv6, which is the foundation of the next generation of the Internet and enables a range of new services and improved user experience.
