TP-Link Archer C8 AC1750 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit Router
Fortunately, AC1750 technology has matured and significant performance differences are hard to come by among products with the same chipsets. Since the Archer C8 is based on Broadcom's second generation BCM4709 processor, you don't have to worry about buying an older generation router.
In the end, the Archer C8 doesn't stand out from the pack of AC1750 class routers. But it should serve you as well as its better-known competitors and save you a little money, too.

By uk.hardware.info onShortly after we posted the Archer C9 review, TP-LINK let us know our results didn't match what they found with testing in their own Octoscope-based test setup. The culprit was that the C9's stand-up format positioned a good portion of the router's...
