Armed with double Wi-Fi bands that mix to provide (theoretical) throughput speeds as high as 3,167Mbps and a complete array of I/O ports, the TP-Link AC3150 Wireless MU-MIMO Gigabit Router Archer C3150 is made for homes that want enough bandwidth to take care of gaming, movie streaming, and multiple clients connecting simultaneously. You obtain fast file-move speeds and an excellent collection of management configurations with this particular router, and it’s really a snap to set up and configure. It is also Multi-User Multiple Input, Multiple Output (MU-MIMO) prepared.
Design
The Archer C3150 appears identical to the TP-Link AC2600 Wireless Dual Band Router Archer C2600 that people reviewed this past year. It functions exactly the same two-tone gloss-black/matte-dark complete and has the same sizes of 1.5 by 10.4 by 7.8 ins (HWD). It utilizes four removable, flexible antennas and will be powered by a 1.4GHz Broadcom processor chip. The C3150 can perform maximum data rates of just one 1,000Mbps on the two 2.4GHz band and 2,167Mbps about the 5GHz band, but much like every router out there, they are theoretical speeds rather than anywhere near real-world data prices.
The four Gigabit Ethernet ports guiding the router are joined by way of a WAN (Web) port, a power jack, and an electrical switch. The remaining side includes a reset button, a Wi-Fi On/Off switch, a WPS key, a USB 2.0 port, and the USB 3.0 slot. A silver strip at the top of the router keeps Directed indicators for energy, 2.4 GHz and 5GHz action, Internet connection, and USB activity.

Conclusion
The TP-Hyperlink AC3150 Wifi MU-MIMO Gigabit Router Archer C3150 is a good choice if your home has several wired and wireless products vying for bandwidth. It includes a lot of management choices and delivers good file-move speeds, but if you are hoping to make use of its MU-MIMO function, you need to await a firmware update before it’ll function. This router’s throughput overall performance is a lot more than sufficient, but you can find faster routers on the market for around exactly the same cost, like the Netgear Nighthawk X4S R7800 and the Asus RT-AC88U
