802.11ac - The Next Generation of Wi-Fi
TP-LINK’s Archer C5 comes with the next generation Wi-Fi standard – 802.11ac, 3 times faster than wireless N speeds and delivering a combined wireless data transfer rate of up to 1.35Gbps. With 867Mbps wireless speeds over the crystal clear 5GHz band and 450Mbps over the 2.4GHz band, the Archer C5 is the superior choice for seamless HD streaming, online gaming and other bandwidth-intensive tasks.

1.35Gbps Dual Band Connections for Lag-Free Work and Entertainment

The Archer C5 operates over both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands, ensuring amazing wireless performance. Simultaneous Dual Band offers you the flexibility of two dedicated networks – with multiple times the bandwidth for your needs. Simple tasks like 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.

5 Antennas for Fully Expanded Coverage

With 2 external 5dBi antennas serving the 5GHz band and 3 internal antennas serving the 2.4GHz band combined with higher quality antenna technology, you can maintain high speeds 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 C5 is a powerful hub to support a robust and extremely fast wired network.

Dual Multifunctional USB Ports for Storage and Sharing

With the two multi-functional USB 2.0 ports, you can share printers, files and media with different devices through your local network or via the ftp server while away from home.

TP-lINK Tether - Easy Network Management

TP-LINK's Tether App provides the easiest way to access, manage and share your router's resources with your iOS and android devices. From setup, to parental control, to media sharing, Tether provides a simple, intuitive user interface to see what the status of your router is, who's online and what their privileges are.

Guest Network

Guest Network Access provides secure Wi-Fi access for guests sharing your home or office network.

Easy Set-up

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 C5 supports IPv6, which is foundational to the next generation Internet and enables a range of new services and improved user experiences.
