I earlier had a TP-Link WDR4300 router purchased in Apr-2015. It was very reliable and served its purpose very well. After 5 awesome years of continuous use (connected to UPS so it was 24*7*365 always on), I was looking for an upgrade because I now have a 200 mbps broadband and the routerr wifi was not going above 100mbps. Further, the 2.4Ghz signal was getting very unreliable with frequent connection drops and hangs which needed the router to be rebooted. No such problems with the 5Ghz signal.
After a very good experience with TP-Link i was looking for a replacement in TP-Link itself. After much research I finally landed decided on Archer AC1750-A7. the reason to not pick C7 model was that it was Rs 1000 more and I had no need for the additional features.
As always the tp-link setup was < 5 mins of actual work. I spent more time figuring out the broadband user/pass than actually setting up the router.
The 2.4 and 5 Ghz signals are strong as always.
With 3 laptops and 5 smart phones and a smart tv connected at the same time, I dont see any issues. No packet/signal/connection drops. The router can easily manage these connections without any problem.
In conclusion, if you need a reliable home router that can manage many devices and remain stable, look no further.
Sep-2020 update:
I have seen this router able to provide me 450Mbps speed without any sweat. It is reliable as ever. There are no packet or connection drops from the router. Good choice.
I also installed a router UPS due to frequent power cuts. Turned out to be an excellent idea :)
