Question 1

Why do 2 different priced Routers have the same reviews? How is anyone supposed to know which Router you are reviewing?

Accepted Answer

Hi! Amazon allows you to conveniently filter reviews so you only see content for the specific product you're interested in. To do so, please follow these steps:

1. On the product page, select the router you're interested in (i.e. AC1750).
2. Scroll down to the Customer Reviews section and click on "See all xxxx customer reviews".
3. Click on "All formats" and select "Show only reviews for Format: X", with X being the format of your choice.
4. You can further sort the reviews based on other specifics such star rating, top rated or most recent, using the adjacent drop-down boxes.

Best Regards,
TP-Link Customer Support

Question 2

Hi this TP-Link Archer C7, is this V2? Because i need to use with open WRT and has to be V2   thank you

Accepted Answer

Mine arrived 1/17/17 and is a v2 with firmware version 3.14.3 Build 151014 Rel.49676n.  Their support site has a newer firmware (Archer C7(US)_V2_160719) but i didn't see anything in the changelog that would make the update worthwhile.

Question 3

How's the range on the router?

Accepted Answer

The 2.4 ghz range is quite good. I have the router at one end of my 2000 sq ft home and it reaches the other end with ok signal. 5 ghz range is quite short, but that's an inherit downside of 5 ghz signals. You don't have to disable the 5 ghz to get your 2.4 ghz range, just name them differently and you can connect to 2.4 ghz with your far devices, and connect at 5 ghz when you are in the same room. Remember: 5 ghz - less range, but much higher speeds, 2.4 ghz - more range, more wall penetration, less speeds.

Question 4

Can anyone confirm what router version of the AC1750 is being sold by Amazon.com? There are v.1 and v.2 versions of this router.

Accepted Answer

I received my TP-Link AC1750 Archer C7 wireless router on September 19, 2018 and it was a version 4 model.
