I have been using a 2.4 GHz router with a 40 Mbps internet connection and used to wonder why I’m not getting the speeds close to 40 Mbps. Upon research got to know that 2.4 GHz router with 10/100 Mbps port can only cater speeds up to 50 Mbps, which is theoretical but practically we can get speeds up to 30 Mbps in the vicinity of the router. Also these 2.4 GHz routers have a range up to 70-80 feet, so if you are living in an apartment there is high probability of intercepting with other routers’ signal. This will cause the connection drops abruptly and will be a pain if you use internet based audio/video calls frequently.
Solution to this problem is a Dual Band Router which has two frequencies 5 GHz with small range (20-30 feet) and 2.4 GHz with relatively big range (70-80 feet).
10/100 Mbps port on 5 GHz frequency can cater speeds up to 100 Mbps but range is limited so that it will not interfere with other frequencies. So you will get uninterrupted internet with high speeds (you must have an internet connection of 100 Mbps to make full use of dual band routers).
10/100 Mbps on 2.4 GHz frequency can cater speeds up to 30 Mbps with a relatively high range compared to 5 GHz.
So if you are having an internet connection of 100 Mbps it’s advisable to have a dual band router to take full advantage of your internet speed. If you have an internet connection of more than 100 Mbps speed then you should consider a dual band gigabit router to make full use of your internet plan.
Dual Band routers with 10/100 Mbps port can only cater speeds up to 100 Mbps, whereas a Dual Band Gigabit router can cater speeds up to 867 Mbps (5 GHz) and 300 Mbps (2.4 GHz) as they have 10/100/1000 Mbps ports. Although these are theoretical values, we can expect the speeds up to 600 Mbps (5 GHz) and 80 Mbps (2.4 GHz).
After knowing all this I decided to go for a Dual Band Gigabit router although I upgraded my internet connection to 100 Mbps only just to be future ready and I’m completely happy about my decision. So I bought TP-Link AC1200 C6 Gigabit router with MU-MIMO technology.
I have been using it for about a week now and I’m getting speeds up to 60 Mbps on 5 GHz at any corner of my 1200 sqft flat. I’m getting speeds up to 97 Mbps in living room where I placed the router. This router has one 10/100/1000 Mbps WAN port and four 10/100/1000 Mbps LAN ports. We can download Tether app and configure/manage the router from it.
Pros:
1. It’s a Dual Band Gigabit router with one WAN and four LAN Gigabit ports that can cater speeds up to 600 Mbps on 5 GHz and up to 80 Mbps on 2.4 GHz.
2. Its 5 GHz frequency band is sufficient for a 2/3 BHK apartments (1200-1500 sqft)
3. Can configure/manage router through Tether app on mobile
4. Guest network can be configured
5. It’s a OneMesh device and works well with other OneMesh devices such as range extenders for a big house.
6. It has parental controls
7. It has smart connect and if you enable it, the router itself will determine whether your device is 5 GHz compatible or not and provide the speeds accordingly. There is no need to configure two SSIDs for 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz separately.
8. Alexa compatible with smart life assistant
9. Can enable VPN services
10. QOS enabled router (need to enable it manually post router configuration)
11. It can be used as a wireless router as well as an Access Point too
12. It has security features such as blocking a certain device
13. IPV6 compatible and can setup custom MAC too using MAC Clone feature
14. NAT Forwarding available on this router
15. Can define a reboot schedule and can monitor Traffic statistics too
16. Can do various advanced level administration such as Time settings, LED control, Diagnostics, Firmware upgrade, System Log, etc.
17. Latest MU-MIMO technology enabled router
Cons:
No USB drive, but it is a no big deal for me

I have been using this router for a long time and let me tell you its really good. Internet speed catch and network coverage is really good than other routers.

Having burnt my fingers with a single band Mi Router 3C, I decided to double my budget and go for a decent router from a reputed brand. I have been using TP Link’s Wifi adapter for years so it was a natural choice. Eventually I settled for the C6 as the A6 offered no additional features and C80 and higher had a significantly higher price.
Anyhow this is my initial review, which I will update if anything changes –
Build – Decent Quality. It’s entirely plastic but looks durable. The shiny top surface is a finger magnet but then you won’t be handling your router everyday. It is very light and can be balanced on narrow surfaces. Antennas are sturdy and maintain position if the router is moved or shaken quickly.
Rating – 5/5
Setup – A bit tricky, this one. I’m on a Static IP FTTH connection so I assumed juet inputing values (IP, Gateway, Subnet, etc) will do the trick. However, it did not. Had to call up customer care and they asked me to change the Primary DNS. From experience I believe there was a MAC lock involved which they unlocked during the call but I can’t be sure. Anyway it took about an hour and half to set every thing up. This isn’t TP-LINK’s fault.
What is their fault is that MAC spoofing doesn’t seem to work. So if your ISP isn’t responding you may be stuck.
Rating – 4/5
Range and Signal Strength – Both are miles ahead of my 3C. I have a three storied house with thick 45-year old brick walls. Even on the third storey (with router on the ground floor) I could get a signal. Not possible with my 3c. Of course it’s the 2.4GHz one and not 5Ghz but it’s there.
Speed wise 5GHz is the king snd everyone knows that. Within the room and in the next room it works pretty good. Beyond that 2.4GHz seems to work well.
One grouse I have is that “Smart” Connection isn’t good. Smart allows your device to connect based on the connection that gets the highest speed in that range. But with Smart on my adapter (from the same brand) gave miserable 560Kbps speeds on a 130Mbps connection. This with the adapter stuck to the computer on which the router was placed.
Separating the two bands by turning off Smart resulted in a huge improvement. 2.4GHz gives up to 80 Mbps in the same room while 5Ghz gives the full 130Mbps. One floor above I get 30-40Mbps. On the second floor it falls to 10-12Mbps.
So the antenna and radio are great, but the software needs to be improved.
Rating – 4/5
Bells and Whistles – The router boasts of MU-MIMO and beam forming. Turning the former on improved my connection speed and stability by around 5-10% on the ground and first floors. Beyond that no noticeable difference could be felt.
Haven’t tried other features like VPN etc.
Rating – 5/5
Conclusion – Compared to the 3C this router actually allows me to enjoy the FTTH speeds I pay for. The hardware is impeccable and sturdy. The software is useful but needs some back end tweaking in the “Smart” department. That aside it’s one of the most VFM routers under 3K for anyone with a 100Mbps connection or higher.
Overall Rating – 4.5/5
