The Archer C6 is TP-Link's budget dual-band Wi-Fi 5 router: 867 Mbps on 5 GHz and 300 Mbps on 2.4 GHz, with four Gigabit LAN ports and one Gigabit WAN port. MU-MIMO and five antennas (four external, one internal) help it serve several devices at once, and OneMesh support lets it pair with TP-Link extenders for wider coverage. It suits apartments and small homes on a sub-gigabit internet plan that want wired gigabit ports without paying for Wi-Fi 6. Against Wi-Fi 6 rivals it lacks OFDMA, WPA3 and 160 MHz channels, so it is a value pick rather than a future-proof one.
