For households looking to cover multiple rooms without complexity, the TP-Link Archer C20 offers dual-band 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz connectivity with Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac). The 5 GHz band provides a less congested channel for activities requiring smooth performance, while the 2.4 GHz band ensures extended range for everyday devices. The built-in firewall, filtering, and VPN support (PPTP, L2TP, IPSec) add a practical layer of security to the home network. Guest access allows visitors to be isolated from the main network in just a few clicks. Compact (230 × 144 × 35 mm) and equipped with status lights, it installs discreetly and can be monitored at a glance.
