The latest dual-band router from TP-LINK, Archer C7 supports AC standards for delivering fast transfer speeds when paired with suitable adapters; the range has been increased thanks to the usage of three 5GHz 5dBi detachable antennas while the two USB 2.0 ports can be used for connecting printers or storage devices in order for them to be available over the network.
The antennas are 5 dBi and come with the TP-LINK branding:
The Archer C7 chassis shares a lot in common with the TL-WNDR4300 model we have tested previously. Inside we will find one QCA9588 CPU from Qualcomm Atheros, providing Wi-Fi interface on the 2.4GHz frequency. The 5GHz interface is offered by the QCA9880. The 2.4GHz antennas are internal, while the 5GHz ones are the removable external ones:
In the front we have the Power LED, System Status LED, 2.4GHz Activity LED, 5GHz Activity LED, 4 LAN LEDs, one WAN LED and also one WPS LED:
The top side of the plastic chassis is also provided with small ventilation holes:
On the back side we’ve got the DC-IN port, the ON-OFF button, one Wireless ON-OFF switch, two USB ports with activity LEDs, a blue WAN port, 4 yellow LAN port sand also a WPS/Reset button:
The bottom area was designed as a ventilation grill, with 4 small feet:
In the middle we have the sticker with initial login details to the Web GUI, product MAC and wireless password:
The provided antennas can be attached with ease to the back of the router:
