AC1900 Wi-Fi 5 router for home use
The TP-Link Archer C80 is a dual-band wireless router built on the Wi-Fi 5 standard. It delivers up to 1300 Mbps on the 5 GHz band and 600 Mbps on the 2.4 GHz band through four fixed omni-directional antennas. A 1.2 GHz processor handles traffic for typical household workloads.
Households needing MU-MIMO and beamforming
This router suits homes where several devices stream or game simultaneously and benefit from 3x3 MIMO and MU-MIMO efficiency. Beamforming and Smart Connect help steer clients to the clearer band. Buyers who require more than four gigabit LAN ports or a multi-gigabit WAN connection should consider a different router.
One gigabit WAN and four gigabit LAN ports
The single 10/100/1000M WAN port and four 10/100/1000M LAN ports define the wired capacity of this unit. If your internet plan exceeds one gigabit or you need more than four wired endpoints, this specification becomes the limiting factor.

Questions about this item
What wired speed does the single 10/100/1000M WAN port cap at in practice?
The gigabit WAN port limits the internet connection to 1000 Mbps maximum throughput.
How much clearance do the four fixed omni directional antennas need when placing the unit?
The router measures 8.50 by 4.60 by 1.26 inches; the non-removable antennas extend upward so allow several centimetres above the top surface.
Which step in the web-based setup wizard is most often missed when configuring the 5 GHz 1300 Mbps band?
Users frequently forget to give the 5 GHz network a distinct SSID or to enable Smart Connect so devices can use the 1300 Mbps 802.11ac stream.
