The Archer A54 is an AC1200 dual-band Wi-Fi 5 router, an easy recommendation when a customer needs to replace a worn-out ISP router and the job is basic browsing, streaming and a few smart devices. It runs 867 Mbps on 5 GHz and 300 Mbps on 2.4 GHz and sets up from the Tether app.
Built for everyday home networks
Four fixed antennas with beamforming cover a three-bedroom house, and the dual-band split lets you keep older devices on 2.4 GHz and newer ones on 5 GHz. Router, access point and range extender modes mean one unit can be a new gateway, sit behind an existing one, or stretch an existing network. The wired ports are 10/100 Mbps, so it suits connections and devices that do not need Gigabit wiring. Guest networks, URL filtering and time controls come built in.
