The route to better connectivity 

Designed to be 802.11ac-compliant and facilitate faster Internet connections, TP-LINK’s new Archer C9 AC1900 dual band gigabit wireless router provides users with connection speeds of up to 1.9Gbps. Key features of the device include a 1GHz dual-core processor, dual-band antennas and high-powered amplifiers.

“The growing number of wireless devices found in homes today has created a demand for reliable Wi-Fi networks that achieve high bandwidth speeds,” said Lewis Wu, executive vice president of TP-LINK U.S, in a press release. “The Archer C9 helps high-end devices like gaming consoles and smart TVs reach their potential while ensuring other wireless devices in the home have access to a stable Internet connection.”

The Archer C9 features a Quality of Service (QoS) engine that prioritizes traffic and reduces delays when multiple mobile devices are using the same wireless network. In addition, the router’s integrated shield cover works to decrease signal interference from outside sources.

As the demand for larger bandwidths increases within home-based networks, the Archer C9’s 2.4GHz band redirects lesser traffic away from a 5Ghz band engineered for high-bandwidth activity, such as HD video streaming or online gaming.

The device can also be configured to operate within wired networks through the use of its gigabit WAN and LAN ports that can facilitate speeds of up to 1,000Mbps. Dual USB 2.0 and 3.0 ports also enable the Archer C9 to connect local printers, files and other devices within a home network.
