AC1750 Dual Band Wireless Gigabit Router

Please click on a question to see its answers.

A:I received a version 2.0 unit from Amazon on 3/4/2016, the loaded firmware was the most current (V2_1510104 last updated 10/14/15). According to the TP-Link website the current hardware version is 3.0

A:Actually 4 different routers have the same reviews. At the top of each review it says which unit is being reviewed but it is a major PITA to try to read the reviews you are interested in. Amazon really needs to fix this since it just makes me at least go to other web sites for information and possible purchase.

A:I have this in the basement of a two story house and it goes all the way up the top floor fine. signal is very strong compare to the privious model from tplink I still have. If range is a problem, then this router will gives you that extra boost.

A:Yes you there is a 2.5 ghz side for a/b/g/n and a 5ghz side for ac it will broadcast 2 ssid's

A:This is not in reference to the firmware. From my understanding the internal wireless chip is different for version 1 and 2. That being said I can not say which one Amazon is selling but I would like to know as well. There are many complaints about the version 1 units which seem to be corrected in the version 2.

A:I received V2 and assume you will receive the same. Here is the website: http://www.tp-link.com/lk/products/details/?model=Archer+C7

A:Only Cat5e and Cat6 support true Gigabit throughput on high-data transfers. Buy 5e for cheaper, or buy 6 for future proof cable. For Ethernet cable, you buy one of these:http://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-Snagless-Ethernet-Patch/dp/B007NZGPAY/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1428705628&sr=8-3&keywords=cat+6+ethernet+cablehttp… see more Only Cat5e and Cat6 support true Gigabit throughput on high-data transfers.

A:I just received this router, the power supply is 100-240V.

A:Hi Pablo,This router has a DLNA server, FTP server, USB printer server, and USB storage and sharing server.

However, it is my understanding that DLNA is only a certification framework that will play back certain types of video, music and photos. To play back on your TV or media player, for example, they would need to be DLNA certified. You should check content type compatibility in the manuals for your devices. I hope this helps. see less

A:According to http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Supported_Devices DD-WRT does work

A:TP Link Archer C7 AC 1750 is fantastic and Is working for me 3 monthes already without problems Before my the best friend recomended this device for me He is using it more than year and he is very HAPPY Don't worry Just buy it

A:Yes.

A:no idea, wasn't aware there were 2 different versions. should track exact model number to their website for answer... or maybe its just a firmware update. unit has been working well so far.

A:Download the drivers for the wireless part from HP.com.

A:We've cut the cord in my house. I have no problems streaming HBO, Netflix, etc to my ChromeCast.

A:Unfortunately, this is now V3, and the open firmwares all support only V2 so far. This is supposedly very similar to V2, but I think you will need to wait unless you are an early adopter and willing to possibly sacrifice your router.

A:Yes, if you disable DHCP.

A:I don't have a Mac but can't imagine it will. You will not get any benefit from the 802.11ac but the range with the 2.4 band is great.

A:Answer this question

A:On either, select Settings icon. In settings select wifi. Once the two wifi networks show up (one for 2.4 and one for 5) show select and enter the router password/code (same for each). This is the same for any wifi network you wish to join. See apple.support.com for help.

A:Yes it can. I have a WD Passport 1TB hooked on the USB slot and it works fine. You just have to go to the router configuration table and enable the device under "USB settings" and you're ready to go! I have the TL-WDR3600 though but it's basically the same thing this specific router just has one more antenna.

A:Reviews could be subjective. In WiFi world, newer is generally better.

A:Answer this question

A:Yes

After another month where I would have to mess with iprelease & iprenew while the local provider determined it was not their problem I got rid of the router and got another. So far they have not helped, their help line said they would send me an email on what I could do, but nothing came. see less

A:I think you wrote this question on the wrong product. =)

A:It handles 4-5 devices streaming or online gaming at once for me but I have never tried as high as 30. If no one is watching video I could guess it would work.

A:I am using Windows 10 on 2 computers connecting to my router wirelessly. Works well.

A:No this router does not have beamforming..

A:Dual voltage, adapter indicates 100-240V~

A:Yes you can just use one or the other. You can also turn off the signal radio using a switch on the back of the router, if you wish

A:very minimal, I have it set on a laminate computer desk and the ambient temperature is stays in the range 80 to 88 degrees.

A:I run a MOCA network from this router to my TIVO box

A:This router works well as a wireless access point. Read my review of this router, which explains how to do it.

A:It depends almost entirely on what demands the devices are placing on the network. Are the users doing occasional emailing or are they all streaming videos? There are other considerations such as frequency congestion, network conflicts, retransmissions,etc., but I suspect they aren't the focus of your concern.

A:Reboot the router and see if your speed picks up. If that does not work plug your computer into your modem directly and run a speed test to ensure its not your service provider. If you get 75mbps when directly connected to the modem then try the following: Download an app called WiFi Analyzer this will tell you if yo… see more Reboot the router and see if your speed picks up. If that does not work plug your computer into your modem directly and run a speed test to ensure its not your service provider. If you get 75mbps when directly connected to the modem then try the following: Download an app called WiFi Analyzer this will tell you if you have other neighbors on the same channel. If so switch to a new channel (This is mostly an issue for 2.4ghz but you can change the 5.8ghz if you want too). Next log into the router and click "Wireless 2.4ghz" Make sure mode is set to "11bgn mixed" and the Channel Width is set to "40Mhz" this is also where you would switch your channel if you find neighbors are on the same channel. Click save then reboot the router. Good luck. see less

A:yes,it works fine. Pedro

A:This router is no where near powerful enough for an office.

They both offer wireless connectivity. The vast majority of users wouldn't see any benefit from having what is basically a redundant system. However, you can still connect them by 1. Disabling wireless connectivity in the Arris. - 2. Connecting an ethernet cable between the WAN port on the TP-LINk and the PC port on the back of the Arris 3. Enabling bridging mode on the Arris.The Arris user manual is here: https://www.arrisi.com/support/documentation/user_guides/_docs/TG852G-NA_User_Guide_Standard1-4.pdf see less

A:I have 2 phones 1 computer 2 ipads 2 smart tv's and a ps4 no issues over.

A:I doubt it - I don't see 'VPN server' or 'VPN endpoint' listed as a feature and surely it would be listed.

That is a feature you might find in a busness class router and probaly not a residential class router. I don't have this particular router so I can't say for sure.I know there are different types of Windows VPN's. I think the older/simpler one is PPTP which at least as of Windows7 still seems to be supported but just like everything easy I expect it to go away in favor of some horribly complex alternative (L2TP/IPSec). What I do is to run a PPTP server on Linux box behind the router and do the appropriate forards to the Linux box for PPTP. VPN protocols can be 'special' and not sure you can always forward them from the router, unless maybe using the VPN server as the DMZ host. But it would be more ideal if the router was itself the VPN endpoint.One way to accomplish this would be to run one of the third party firmwares such as openwrt or dd-wrt. I personally run openwrt on a WDR3600 and there is a PPTP server package but I personally haven't tried it. The openwrt website shows the AC1750 as a work in progress so it probably isn't the best choice right now for openwrt but it may be better supported by one of the others. It does look like a good choice based on Flas and RAM memory. Installing third party firmware especially openwrt isn't something for the technically challenged.If you were to run a third party firmware then openvpn may be a better choice because it is free and probably better supported by the open source community. However, I personally like the convenience of the Windows VPN so I have just used PPTP since it works and I don't have to install any additional software on the client.I generally don't need an actual VPN connection. Most often I can do just about everything with the port forwarding feature of SSH so I just expose the SSH server in my WDR3600 running openwrt to the internet - SSH is really quite powerful, although not as convenient as an actual VPN. The only thing I use the PPTP VPN for is my neighbor's business - that is where I have the PPTP server on a Linux box - I help out with their IT so when setting up a new computer I can do it completely at home with the VPN connection and only need to go there to physically install it.But everything else I can do with SSH and you can usually SSH through proxy firewalls which businesses often use to restrict, filter, and monitor internet activity - which I doubt you can do with a VPN. And since SSH is secure and quite powerful you can do just about anything you want from inside the firewall with the help of an SSH server on the outside. see less

A:Answer this question

A:Only the 53rd time I have seen this exact question. Do people not know how to use the search function. Your Internet Service Provider is irrelevant.

A:Yes you can.just connect it to your FIOS modem.

A:See manual: http://www.tp-link.us/res/down/doc/Archer_C7_V2_UG.pdf

A:Sure

A:Answer this question

A:It should work for any network, just get any vpn software install on the computer need to access the vpn, just turn the vpn software on, when you need to access the website for work, and it will not affect other user in the same network.

A:No the Internet connection is an rj45 jack. It does not have a WAN connection over USB

A:YES - I am using a Fire Stick also and with 2 wireless computers and wireless printer. The PCs did not run fast and the TV would freeze while more data transferred to the Fire Stick all while using my old router. Now using the TP-Link Archer C7 AC1750 router it cured my problems. I'd say YES it did help.

A:Answer this question

A:I received the V1 and did not have a good xperience with it !! instead bought an assrt-ac56u and i`m MUCH happier

A:Answer this question

A:Not an overkill. The real problem I experienced was the router drops its wireless network quite a few times a day.

A:yes.

A:No idea. I live in Ohio....

A:Not better than my "Linksys WRT54GL".

A:Answer this question

A:It does not

A:Hello Kerry,It support 11 channels on the 2.5 Gigahertz and 9 on the 5 Gigahertz.

A:just a router

A:Answer this question

A:We have 2 PC's, 2 laptops, playstation 4 and 2 cell phones connected and it works great

A:Yes, the firmware is open source and very similar. That's one of the modes supported

A:Yes. It even has a quick setup.Takes longer to screw in the antennas

A:Sorry for just getting back to you....there's nothing wrong with your item. I definitely agree with one of the comments...locking it. Make sure you have the correct security and password. I recommend this item to anyone that's looking for a router and the price is awesome.

A:never happen, I think it is the worst built by tp link router, just use it to attach the hard drive as NAS. not even at 5ghz :(

A:Answer this question

A:IIRC, I bought mine a couple months ago. It's Hardware Version Archer C7 v2 00000000 and Firmware Version 3.14.3 Build 151014 Rel 49676n.

A:Do you have anything between the modem and the router that may be causing the slowdown (switch etc.)? Have you tested wired directly to router to verify you are getting the expected speeds? If you have nothing between modem and router, test hardwired and see what speeds you get.

A:No issues with the router as of now. So,I would say 10

A:Yes. you have 100MB? This is good for 1000MB Enjoy...

A:Answer this question

A:It works with ipv6 on TWC.
