Broadcasting dual-band speeds up to 1201 Mbps total, with 867 Mbps on the clear 5 GHz band and 300 Mbps on the 2.4 GHz band, the TP-Link Archer C50 ensures smooth online gaming, 4K streaming, and rapid file downloads. Equipped with four external antennas, multi-mode flexibility, and EasyMesh compatibility, the  C50 provides seamless whole-home coverage and dependable network performance.

Advanced Performance and Multi-Mode Flexibility

The TP-Link Archer C50 transforms your home network by leveraging 802.11ac Wi-Fi standards to handle everyday bandwidth demands with ease. Beyond its standard function as a wireless router, it supports flexible deployment through dedicated Access Point and Range Extender modes, allowing you to adapt your hardware layout instantly via the web management page or Tether app. Smart Connect technology intelligently steers each connected device to the optimum available Wi-Fi band, while a dedicated IoT network isolates smart home gadgets to improve connection stability.

Comprehensive Connectivity and Range Performance

Designed to eliminate dead zones, the router utilises four external antennas and Beamforming technology to project robust wireless signals into every corner of your living space. For wired peripherals, the rear panel includes fast 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports, comprising one WAN port and four LAN ports, enabling stable wired connections for desktop PCs, smart TVs, and game consoles. Additional convenience features include a Wi-Fi Schedule to automatically disable wireless broadcasts when not needed, LED control for night-time quietness, and effortless QR code Wi-Fi sharing for guests.

Network Reliability and Advanced Security

Network safety and traffic control are prioritised through comprehensive built-in tools. Dedicated guest networks keep your main household traffic secure by separating visitors from your private devices, while robust parental controls allow you to manage children's online habits using URL filtering and time controls. The device also supports WPA, WPA2, and cutting-edge WPA3 personal and enterprise encryptions to actively block unauthorised access. Furthermore, Quality of Service (QoS) device prioritisation ensures that high-priority applications like video calls and gaming receive uninterrupted bandwidth.
