Access Archer C7 Router Via Ethernet Cable

I bought this router to replace my Archer C7 as I frequently losing wifi (particularly annoying on my TV). I'm extremely happy with this new RT2600 - I haven't had a single drop. No more kids yelling that youtube isn't working again dad! And the icing on the cake, this router has one of the best stock UIs I've seen. I was easily able to setup port forwarding, DHCP address reservation, and custom DNS servers. The only con is the price (since my previous router was ~$70) but this is clearly a higher quality, more powerful product. I highly recommend it.

I have four of these, configured as access points. That means I have an ethernet cable connecting each to my router. It provides outstanding WiFi coverage to the rooms these are in. The 5G network in particular is crazy fast; I get 500+ mbps/s on my phone. I generally don't recommend extender mode, in which these units relay your phone's wireless signal to the router, via another wireless signal.

I use this as an access point which is wired by ethernet to my primary synology router. I love the software and log capability of this. Functions for more than a year now without a hiccup.

paired with Archer A7 router, works like a charm, 10/10

I have this wifi access point mounted on a high wall in the central part of the house; it easily provides coverage to all rooms (4000' feet home). You need to have access to an ethernet cable and you must be able to provide power over ethernet or be able to use the included power injector somewhere along the cable run. It works very well and is fairly easy to set up, but it's not a home handyman type of thing.

It definitely increased the Wi-Fi speed over my previous Unify setup, pretty much double it. I can get on an iPhone Internet speeds of 500Mb/sec if close by and 200-300Mb at a greater distance. There is no 2G/5G separate connections, the router is smart enough to figure out which connection is the best. The installation was easy after I've figured out how it works. First and foremost, DO NOT attach an ethernet cable. It'll stop the setup. Bring the AP relatively close to the main router, run the phone app to set it up. It takes a rather long time (~3 to 5min) to do all its setup. After the setup is done, you can move it to another location and connect an ethernet cable. It'll figure out by itself that the cable is plugged-in. Highly recommended product.

Have had It for a week. Installed like a breeze, runs like a breeze. Connected to router via Ethernet cable. All laptops connect through wireless with no issues, same for AirPrint. Installation was easier and simpler than I expected. Tray holds 250 sheets and that is enough for my needs. Have printed some 150 sheets so far with the starter cartridge and it’s holding good. The cost of replacements seems reasonable too, compared to the competition.

my home office was at far end of the house from the cable router - no issues now. Love the extra ethernet ports on the satellite.

I purchased this to increase the WiFi coverage in my house. I was considering purchasing 2, but started with 1 just to see the coverage. Overall, I get about 25% better signal at each end of the house with this set up in the center so an improvement over the WiFi router my ISP provides. I have basic networking experience and the software was a breeze to setup. I really think anyone could do it, but give yourself a good 15 mins to click around and understand their web interface. I simply plugged an ethernet cable into my existing WiFi router, then into the PoE adapter that came with the AP. Then just ran a second ethernet cable from the PoE adapter to the AP. Mounted it on a wall with their hardware and was done, took less than 5 min total.

Purchased to connect a Wii to a cable router through an Ethernet cable to watch streaming Netflix. The setup was easy, just plugged-in the adapter, connected the cable, went into the Wii setup and told it to update, inserted the Netflix disk and I was done.
