TP-Link (TL-ARCHER C60) AC1350 Wireless Dual Band Router

The TP-Link Archer C60 is a versatile, dual-band wireless router designed to provide a stable and fast internet experience for medium-sized homes. By utilizing the 802.11ac Wi-Fi standard, it effectively handles high-traffic activities like HD streaming and online gaming by splitting your network traffic across two frequency bands.

TP-Link Archer C60 Key Product Features

• AC1350 Dual-Band Speed: Offers combined speeds of up to 1350 Mbps. It provides 450 Mbps on the 2.4GHz band (perfect for daily browsing and emails) and 867 Mbps on the 5GHz band (ideal for latency-sensitive tasks like streaming and gaming).

• 5-Antenna Array: Features an innovative antenna arrangement with three 2.4GHz antennas and two 5GHz antennas. This alternating placement optimizes coverage and minimizes interference between the two bands.

• MU-MIMO Technology: Allows the router to communicate with multiple devices simultaneously, increasing efficiency and reducing wait times for your connected gadgets.

• Beamforming Technology: Focuses wireless signals toward your connected devices, improving signal strength and reliability even when devices are further away or moving.

• Easy Management: Compatible with the TP-Link Tether App, which allows you to set up, manage, and monitor your network settings directly from your smartphone.

• Advanced Features: Includes comprehensive parental controls to manage internet access, Guest Network support to keep your main network private, and WPA/WPA2 security encryption.

Technical Specifications

Important Consideration: Ethernet Port Speed

It is important to note that the Archer C60 is equipped with Fast Ethernet (10/100 Mbps) ports, not Gigabit ports. This means that even though the wireless Wi-Fi speeds are high (up to 1350 Mbps), your wired connection speed from your ISP modem will be capped at 100 Mbps. This router is best suited for users with internet plans of 100 Mbps or lower.

Pricing Estimation in Kenya

As of June 2026, the TP-Link Archer C60 is widely available through various ICT retailers in Nairobi and across Kenya.

Note: Prices vary depending on the vendor, current promotions, and whether the unit includes local warranty support. Always confirm the port speed (10/100Mbps) meets your specific internet service provider (ISP) requirements before purchasing.

TP-Link Archer C60 Verdict

The TP-Link Archer C60 is an excellent choice for a budget-friendly, home-wide Wi-Fi upgrade, especially if you have several devices that benefit from the 5GHz band. Its 5-antenna design provides great coverage for standard 3-bedroom homes. However, if you have a high-speed fiber internet package (exceeding 100 Mbps), you should look for a “Gigabit” version (often labeled with a “G” or explicitly stating Gigabit ports) to ensure you are getting the full speed you pay for from your provider.
