If you plan to use a 3G / 4G modem, be sure to check the support of a particular model before buying, compatibility can be affected by both the region of use and the firmware version of the modem and router.

A fast and feature-packed AC1200 class dual-band wireless router that fully supports the Wi-Fi 5 (802.11b/g/n/ac) standard and is equipped with four external antennas to create an extensive and top-quality coverage. It is positioned as a model of the middle price category, designed to create a high-speed Wi-Fi infrastructure in a 1-3 room apartment, a small detached house or a small office (3-4 stationary PCs).

The high-speed Gigabit Ethernet LAN WAN port can realize the potential of gigabit connection to the ISP network. The USB 2.0 port allows you to connect external drives and 3G/4G (LTE) USB modems. In addition to the functions of a router, the TP-LINK Archer C6U wireless router can play the role of an access point, multimedia and FTP server. Thanks to the MediaTek MT7621DAT dual-core processor and support for MU-MIMO 2x2 technology, a high theoretical data transfer rate is claimed.

In the 2.4 GHz band, it reaches 300 Mbps, at 5 GHz — up to 867 Mbps. This performance is enough for any typical home / office tasks, including watching IPTV broadcasts and high-quality streaming video, web and cloud services, IP telephony, video conferencing and comfortable network gaming. Beamforming technology and four external antennas provide significant signal amplification, which has a positive effect on the area and quality of coverage.

great model, love it
30 November 2022 
I use it for half a year, for a housing area of 120 sq.m. in any corner, the signal quality on both channels is good. Works without glitches, never had to reboot.

good model, I liked it
29 May 2026 
On the plus side, the price is quite low, there are gigabit ports for input, and it has good output speed. On the downside, the main problem is USB 2.0. The manufacturer provided the capability to create cloud storage, which naturally implies connecting a large-capacity drive and transferring large files...like transferring a 15-20GB 2K movie through an old, slow port. Are they serious?? USB 3.0 became widely available on the market in 2009-2010, and this router is from 2020, what was the issue with adding USB 3.0, which by 2020 was cheaper than a box of matches?? In general, if you're choosing a router with USB, only look at models with USB 3.0 and above, otherwise, it makes no sense. Another somewhat unpleasant aspect is the weak signal. In dual-band mode, just go behind two walls (sometimes one wall is enough) and you’re already switched to 2.4GHz, so what's the point of having 4 antennas there is unclear.
nice price, good output speed, stable signal, although sometimes walls win but it's not critical.
the old USB 2.0 makes the option of creating cloud storage completely useless. The functionality was added, but it's entirely impossible to use. One of the dumbest decisions.
